The word "MANTRA" is sanskrit and means "to empty the mind". When our mind is empty, there is peace inside us.
Sherron St Clair When we practice 5Rhythms, flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness, we learn to creatively express aggressiveness and vulnerability, emotions and anxieties, edges and ecstasies. Each rhythm is interpreted by individuals in a uniquely personal way, opening them to a new sense of freedom and possibility that is both surprising and healing, exhilarating as well as deeply restorative. It is, in essence, “exercise for the right brain.” www.sherronstclair.ie
Liz Gleeson Human beings are born to move. With movement, we thrive - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Open Floor is a lively meditation practice that builds muscular and emotional intelligence. It is a dance floor discovery zone where we move and include: good days and tough ones, passion, hesitance, joy, sorrow, births, deaths and everything in between. There are no steps to learn and no way to do it wrong.

Tony Wrench and Faith Circle Dancing draws from an ancient tradition. We dance simple dances from many folk cultures, including Greek, Romanian, Armenian, French and Russian. Some dances are energetic, some gentle. We teach each dance before dancing it. The chief aim is enjoyment, rather than technique, and the experience of moving together as a circle. The music will be live.

Flamenco contains many elements: foot and body percussion, clapping, and movements of the whole body from a place of grounded centredness and full body awareness. It allows our bodies to become a means of expression for all of our different emotions, strengthens the body & calms the mind.

Joan Davis We work with the different body systems and discove how to move and express from them. The bones, joints, organs, muscles and fluids all have a mind of their own and love to have the freedom to express that mind in its own unique way. This leads to an understanding of how the mind is expressed through the body and the body through the mind.The practice invites us to experience our bodies from within.

Fatima Lucia Through the practice of Tai chi and Qi gong we cultivate our awareness, sensitivity and balance, which transforms the way we stand, move and interact in all aspects of our life. And as we develop and refine these, we can create a state of aliveness - physically, energetically and spiritually. The principles of Tai chi are the key. If you thoroughly understand them, the differences between the various Tai chi forms become merely external..the principles remain the same.
