| The
seven alchemic metals; the seven colours; the seven chakras;
the seven days of the week; the seven double Hebrew letters;
the seven rays; the seven astrological planets; the seven
notes in the scale; all are metaphors for a seven step process
of individuation and attainment of spiritual awakening.
In
this workshop we will explore some of the sevens using Sacred
Dance, Free Dance, Chanting and Toning. Then, after some
experience of the seven steps, the group will split into
seven smaller groups. They will each create a ceremony for
their step, lasting between fifteen and thirty minutes.
These will then be co-ordinated into a group-created ritualised
journey through the seven step process.
Participants are asked
to bring any props they think will be useful. For example, music, instruments,
dressing up things, face and body paints, scarves, flowers, pieces of wood
etc.
Approx. duration 18 hours
(i.e. a weekend).
