Honu a'la Dance Circle with Babe Helvey

“Honu a’la” ~ The Turtle’s Way

Saturday October 21st, 2pm-3:30pm

In Honuala Dance Circle we will honor the path of the turtle. Everyone who attends will be encouraged to participate in their own way, and at their own pace. We will come together to celebrate the spirit of serenity and joy. Sometimes all we need is a simple positive reset to help us remember how to lead from the heart. These songs and dances are based on the idea of living in beauty. They have the unique ability to bring people closer, while allowing walls to fall away. Plus, they’re fun! Honuala Dances are gentle, non-religious, meditative movement that requires no skill or previous experience. Come explore a new way of shedding stress and casting off the burden of the world. Find peace through community movement and song.

Movement & Performance Theatre

Somatic & Embodiment Training for Actors, Change Agents, & Mover and Shakers! 

October 14th, 2017, 12 – 6 p.m.- High Frequency Loft

A fun, exploratory & experiential, introductory movement course to harness your innate bodily wisdom and shift your bodily consciousness. Through accessing your body-state, sensory-motor perception, and intentionally directed action you can become the embodiment of any persona you desire. 

You will breathe, sense, move and touch in an effort to recover your own wisdom and creativity. Recognizing that the mind moves and shapes the body, we will forge connections between the mind and body. You will access and construct knowledge in the body (thus increasing your body vocabulary and gestures); and deepen your ability to act and respond in the world.  You will move in new ways; transform your experience of your self; generate greater stage presence; and strengthen your performance skills all from a place of greater authenticity and ease.

The Secret Gong Orchestra brings 100 gongs to Taos @the HFL

The Land of Enchantment is about to be Energized with the Gong collections of Al Faaet, Kenneth Goff, Mitch Nur, and Jeff Sussmann. Bringing together over 150 years of musical experience, and an impressive collection of Gongs from all over the world, this performance will open the dimensions of Gong play far beyond your usual 'gong bath' or similar presentation. Don't confuse this with the expected display of crashing and bashing you see today; but the formal presentation of ambient textures and nuances carefully expressed through an inter-dimensional tonal soundscape.

This unique performance is bringing together Gong artist's from both the East and West Coasts, merging with Santa Fe's more prolific live musicians. This is a layout event, so bring something comfortable to lay on, blanket or pillow as necessary, we will have mats out as well.

Sliding Scale $49
