Through this creative, percussive journey the entire being is explored and enriched physically, mentally, emotionally, and Spiritually through sounding, movement, performance, music, and dance. The result is a more authentic sense of self expression and the possibility of a stronger, more intimate and more supportive human community. SHAMANTRA uncovers the heart beat of community. True community happens when everyone moves to the same pulse. Each may have a different relationship to that pulse, but the single pulse is what holds the center of community. As long as we are in relationship to this pulse we will also be in relationship to each other. Communicating with each other in this way with sound and silence, call and response, transmitting and receiving, a singular pulse is created, making music possible, making healing possible, making community possible. The SHAMANTRA teaching moves through 3 levels of instruction; each level travels the 5 stages, but each level takes the journey deeper, spiraling to a fuller experience of personal blossoming… ~Learn to speak your heart ~Uncover your authentic expression  ~Identify the difference between performance and authentic expression     ~Develop deeper listening     ~Continually develop the awareness of your witness    ~Learn to take all of you with you Explore emerging possibilities of self-expression through vocal rhythm and movement
