Lake Harriet Spiritual Community (LHSC)

Please join Lindsay Forsythe and Dennis Yelkin for an opportunity to move and draw together in community! Let’s shift out of our analytical over-thinking minds, and into present moment creativity. You don’t have to be a “dancer” or an “artist”, Just bring your curious self to commune with others in a practice of guided drawing and moving scores.
We are approaching this Lab as a meditative container of curiosity and exploration! Much of it will be in silence, with some group circling/sharing. We will present “scores” which are guided frameworks for exploration, in solo, duet, and group formations. By drawing we mean whatever comes out of your fingers and onto paper, which could look like shapes or swathes of color, or rainbows and boats! By dancing we mean somatic exploration in a curious mindset. The possibilities are endless and all levels of experience in either activity are welcome. Let's discover new ways of moving, creating, and meditating together. Leave all judgment of ourselves and others behind and come play! All materials provided.
Some questions of curiosity we have:
How does 2 dimensional awareness of drawing interact with 3 dimensional moving? How does a meditating mindbody affect our authentic expression? How do we share our creative experiences with others? What can we learn about ourselves and others from this group practice? What do we notice?
Due to the cumulative nature of these exercises we ask that you arrive on time and stay for the duration of the event. We will close the doors ten minutes after start to allow for a contained space of practice and awareness.

Lindsay Forsythe dances and creates, with experience teaching Modern Dance, Contact Improvisation, and Contemplative Dance Practices. She regularly attends Contact Improvisation in the Twin Cities where her interest in incorporating drawing into her dance experience was sparked.

Join us in the LHSC sanctuary vortex.

Feeling stuck or want to raise your vibration? Open up your heart? Bring your drum, or use one of the LHSC drums, or simply sit or lay and receive the vibrations for letting go of any stuck energy in the body and in your auric field. Led by Jay Peterson, we will have a variety of adventures using the power of the drum to open up the heart, let go of the monkey mind, connecting to Mother Earth, and shifting the stagnant.

Plus, drumming has proven research related to accelerated healing, boosting the immune system, and aiding in releasing emotional trauma. In today’s world, we can all use more of that!

$15 energy exchange for participants – all contributions will go towards LHSC. Let’s raise money for LHSC, fill the sanctuary up with drummers and blow the roof off the place!

Beginners are welcome! Just bring your intentions, and be open to energy. Bring a friend and join us for a high vibrational experience that will leave you zinging with energy.

This will be at LHSC.
