In this workshop we will weave together movement, vocal work, meditation and discussions to explore experientially and theoretically altered states, these fascinating edges of consciousness and the skillful means of working with it.
Since the dawn of humanity, the practice of altered states had been an integral part of any path of development and freedom. These states can be revealed through various means such as meditation, dance, drumming, sex, or through the use of plants and mushrooms, fasting or renouncing into nature.
These states which take us beyond the cages of habitual patterns plays a crucial role in our development and are keys to liberation and freedom.

Altered states are a fundamental part of our human experience and can be practised and developed through traditional and contemporary techniques. Nevertheless, In our modern society these landscapes of our bodymind are denied and condemned and we are not encouraged to explore and expand into it. This approach create numerous difficulties when we are faced with these states. in this workshop we will learn a new language to talk about these states and practices that will make us more skillful when entering these states.
