Q & A

What is Meditative Movement?

Meditative Movement is a slow, fluid flow of eurythmy, a movement form that was introduced in the early 1900s as a performance and healing art by intuitive philosopher, author, and teacher Rudolf Steiner. Regular eurythmy movements relieve everyday stress, improve circulation, digestion, and sleep; and increase overall health and vitality. The movements in this class also help with social and spatial dynamics and awaken the soul to deeper and more intentional connections with self and others.

This movement is for everyone! It is a living force that lives in each one of us, awaiting our awakening. We practice moving it slowly the first half of class, to create presence and awareness in the body. Then we dance joyfully and expansively the last part of class, creating community, warmth, and a creative, social experience of oneness and love.

When are classes held?

Class is held on Wednesdays starting August 16, 2023, from 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 at the Lewisville Mary Alice Community Center.

How do I register to attend?

Email me at elbedal99@gmail.com or call or text 336.408.9899.

Do I need to bring a mat?

No. We move the entire class standing.

What should I wear?

Wear anything you can move in comfortably. Loose clothing and soft sole shoes or non slip socks are best.

What if I have a physical ailment that limits certain movements?

We are practicing the art of inner awakening; listening to our body, thoughts, and feelings. Any movement that causes pain during the class should not be continued. Adjusting one's movements to accomodate personal needs does not diminish the effectiveness of the healing movement; in fact it heightens the experience of learning to truly know thyself, by listening to and honoring what the body needs in the moment.

It is not uncommon for some attendees to rest for a few minutes, even as others continue to move. Our movement together activates divine light, love, and life currents that can be sensed and felt, even when at rest.

What is the class fee?

The class is free, but some choose to donate $5-10. Donations are not required to attend.

May I bring a friend?

Yes. All are welcome and no experience is necessary. The gestures are slow and easy to follow.

Do you have other offerings?

I am an Ordained Minister and offer Holy Listening; Sacred Prayer Circles, Movement Workshops; Sacred Drama; and Song Baths for healing and comfort at the many thresholds of life. I also teach Cosmic Dance, which is a celebration of the sounds and gestures of the planets and stars moved in an eurythmic form to beautiful, classical music in the key that resonates with the highest aspect of the alignment.
