An Open Channel - How Actor Warm-ups Improve Your Readings & Ritual

A great way to start the day - release the spine, free your voice, open up awareness that support clear readings. These practices are also, a great way to finish your day, shake off energies that are not yours, and come back to you.

I have been teaching and using these warm-ups for decades. They are an amalgamation of yoga, Linklater, Reclaiming Witchcraft, and Dell'Arte warm-ups. As the spine is the fiery center of ourselves, knowing how to open up - and close down - are a powerful magical tool you carry with you. Always.

Being "embodied" is quite the catch phrase these days. This is one way to get there.

The Living Altar

Sunday February 23, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm EST

Auditorium 2

Your personal altar is a mini environment, a microcosm of an aspect of your life. What if you could actually live your life on your altar? Would you change how your altar is arranged? How might your life be different in that environment? We will actively explore ways this could be useful in our everyday lives by using available props and interacting with each other to create a living altar. Let's see how far we can expand this concept to bring our spirituality to life.

Contemporary Music Meditation (Instruments optional)

Sunday February 23, 2025 1:00pm - 2:30pm EST

First Floor Salon 3

Why are Sad songs Sad? What song makes you happy? Meditation can unlock many doors within our mind. One of those doors is the realm of Emotion – pure and unfiltered. Through the chording, beats, and language used in song, we are able to bring forth FEELING that we might no otherwise experience. Through a selected list of different songs, many from the 70’s 80’s, and 90’s, let us explore the music and see what kind of focus it can bring to your world. Sound is color for the blind as a Picture is the Sound of silence. Bring an instrument, drum, or a voice to come join in a journey of Meditation in a new way. (I will provide lyrics for the singers).
