Family Constellation Seminar w/Anna Abaldo bio
Saturday May 12, 12noon-5pm
Investment: $75
Family
Constellations provide a powerful, immediate entry into our family
dynamics (past or present) on an energetic and soul level – without
needing to bring your partner or family. Learn what unresolved issue
lies behind your current problems. Healing old wounds and shifting old
patterns will create greater understanding, openness, and strength to
cope with the present.
Since 1995, Anna Abaldo (M.A.) has worked as a psychotherapist and
workshop facilitator – in Europe, Aruba, & Maine. Her background
includes Jungian/somatic psychology, 5Rhythms Dance,
Authentic Movement and Family Constellations. She will be assisted by
her husband Vincent Abaldo who is in the process of completing his
training to facilitate Family Constellations.

Ecstatic Dance

However please do not let lack of funds prevent you from attending. All are welcome.
Ecstatic
Dance ME offers open dance space that is lead by music thoughtfully
chosen by a DJ. The DJ's intention is to create an opportunity for
dancers to experience fun, joy, release and ecstasy in a safe and sacred
container. You do not need to know any special dance moves and there
is no way to do this wrong. Come practice, play, connect and explore
movement in an environment that gives us permission to be with the truth
of the current moment. With the intention of
holding scared dance space we request that this space be adult space.
We are open to having teenagers attend who share our passion for
Ecstatic Dance.
(our dances are alcohol
and drug free. Also, we request there be no conversation during the
dance in order to provide a deeper connection to the dance)

Contact Improvisation is a dance form that has inspired terms such as "Art/Sport," "Intimiate Physics," and "Dancing the Shape of Water." It involves the communication through sense of touch, development of 360 degree kinesthetic awarenenss, interaction with physical forces such as gravity, momentum, friction and inertia and finding ways to dance with others, regardless of one's physical abilities or state of mind. The Jams provide an opportunity to learn and practice this spontaneously playful dance form in a welcoming and informal setting, which is always open to beginners and requires no particular degree of skill, confidence or experience.
