GHUEDRA - Trancing Out

Join Perizad at Ancient Callings Studio, THE studio for women's dance, as she facilitates another Ghuedra African Trance Dance. Used primarily by the nomadic Berber Tribes of North Africa since ancient times, it is a powerful way to heal and cleanse stuck energies while sending out blessings to the community. We will perform the Ghuedra several times in this evening, in a circular format, using counter clapping and chanting. When the Ghuedra heats up, the pace picks up, and the intensity reaches a peak. Come sit in the circle, or brave the center as you "cocoon" yourself in nothingness and listen to the beat and droning of the clapping and chanting, sending you into a trance-like meditation of movement. The release that brings you into a state of rapture or bliss is absolutely awesome!! Each Ghuedra is different, and unique. The benefits of releasing stuck energies are profound. Come experience the GHUEDRA in the sacredness of the Catskill Mountains, with Perizad as your guide.
Weather permitting, a bonfire will immediately follow. Perizad also has space for camping and limited indoor space for an overnight stay.
Refreshments will be provided and you can bring a bagged supper or late night snack.
