SUMMARY:Spirit Arts Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a creativity retreat as well as have fun and relaxation at the beach this winter! The retreat center has great workshop spaces for music\, art and dance. Art supplies and some percussion instruments will be provided. Bring your voice as an instrument or any other instrument of choice. \nSpiritVoice is for those interested in developing their natural voice\, cultivating personal power\, singing their soul song and expressing their inner music.  The voice is the instrument of the body\, expressing who we are and what we feel. We will develop skills through improv structures\, circle songs and developing skills on how to use the voice therapeutically for health and well being. \nSpiritArt is expression through art. Most of us are visually oriented. Before we could speak\, we thought in images. Yet facing the blank page can feel like a void. Let us guide you to approach art making with abandonment\, like a child. Surrender to the materials and let them guide you as you create from the inside out. \nSpiritDance is dancing in the moment\, guided through imagery\, and prompts. Live music will be provided with guitar\, flute\, drum & voice. Express yourself through the body and motion. \nSpiritArts can be used by anyone regardless of artistic experience\, to create profound changes within. You will also have time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings\, great food and the people who will share this experience with you.
