Movement Medicine, Ritual and the Art of Manifesting Our Dreams

Nov. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Ya’Acov Darling Khan has been studying and practicing shamanism all his life with many gifted teachers and he brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to his Ritual work. His work is deeply practical, simple and down-to-earth and with its strong roots, catalytic, transformative, uplifting and inspiring.

Ya'Acov and his wife (co-creator and co-author) Susannah are directors of the School of Movement Medicine and have been teaching internationally since 1989. They have benefited from 18 years of apprenticeship with Gabrielle Roth as well as apprenticeships and long-term study with shamans, healers and teachers from around the world.

Co-author and co-creator of Movement Medicine, Ya’Acov, is visiting Cape Town in February (25-27 February) 2011 to present a 3-day intensive workshop (including a Long-Dance Ceremony) on Movement Medicine, Ritual and the Art of Manifesting Our Dreams.  This workshop is a great introduction to Ya’Acov’s work with ritual and shamanic dance.

We invite you to:
•   Be part of an event that will remind you of the possibility we all have to create something of real beauty and value in this world

•   Take a leap of faith and imagination that will give you confidence in your ability to manifest your dreams

•   Take practical and creative action to transform yourself and the world we live in

We will dance deeply to connect to the four elements and their guardians and to:
•   Find our ground and strengthen our roots

•   Nourish and honour the fire within and the passion to dare to dream
•   Wash and purify the mind of outmoded ideas, stories and beliefs that no longer serve us

•   Find an enduring connection to the visions and inspirations that serve the highest purpose that we are here to contribute for ourselves and all our relations

•   Participate in the blessing of a magical night-time ritual, and of creating something of lasting value together as a circle

Movement Medicine is described as ‘an integration of physical, artistic, spiritual, shamanic and therapeutic practices, which may stimulate human creativity, healing and transformation, focussing specifically on the relationship with self, others, the earth, and life’.

Ya’Acov will be available for interviews before and during his tour.  For interviews please contact Michelle of Hay House (details below).  For more information about the workshops, please contact organiser Jayne Bullen on 076 696 3527 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              076 696 3527      end_of_the_skype_highlighting or at  shellosh@yahoo.com

‘Ya’Acov and Susannah are seasoned explorers of the psyche who have built up a fantastic and well-deserved reputation over the years.’  - Barefoot Doctor

‘Dancing with Ya’Acov Darling Khan is for me a way of diving in to the old deep wisdom of the shaman’s clear-seeing eyes.  He has an immense focus and healing power. I have touched depths in myself and seen beauty that I have not known before.’ - Pernilla Carrier, Kinesiologist and Voiceyoga teacher.
