TRANSCENDANCE
So excited to be part of this prestigious artists gathering brought to you by Rama Vaidyanathan
Landmark event of 2023

Be there.

The language of dance is universal and has the power to cut across the confines of language, culture and boundaries. Indian dance, in particular, has the capacity to transcend the form and the body, to be able to enter into another realm of consciousness.
This quality of the dance to transform is experiential and helps us recognise that the process is more relevant than the performance itself.
In this year’s Natya Kala Conference (NKC), we bring to you presentations by dancers who go beyond the notions of performance and the performative to travel a different path…those who have disrupted the conventional; who have distilled dance as therapy for the physically and emotionally challenged; those who have used dance for social activism; those who have travelled beyond the proscenium stage to create and nurture new spaces to engage with the arts.

Gurdjieff & Whirling Sacred Dances
2025-02-06 18:00 - 2025-02-09 23:30
With Zia Nath

February 6-9, 2025Osho Dham, New Delhi

Facilitated by Zia Nath

Gurdjieff Movements centres us into a sharpened awareness of self. And whirling – it belongs to the mystical dimension – it brings out the mystic within us

Gurdjieff Movements:

George Gurdjieff an enlightened Armenian mystic gave an important place to movement & dance. These structured movements originate from ancient temples of the Caucasus Mountains and were an integral part of esoteric school work. The movements evoke many different intelligences in us – harmonising our body, mind, emotions and spirit. This is called centering – to be unified in all the facets of our existence, bringing us a sharpening of awareness and into higher consciousness.

Gurdjieff called the ability to be aware of both the knower and the known simultaneously as “self-remembering~ Osho

-Whirling Sacred Dances is a meditative art form inspired from the ancient Sufi mystics, the wild spinning gypsies, the earthy ghumraos of Rajasthan, and the crystalized awareness of enlightened mystics.

Whirling is an ancient Sufi technique. While your whole body is moving, you become aware of your very being, the watcher at the center, which is unmoving. You learn to be an unidentified witness at the center of the cyclone.~ Osho

Music and Poetry, rhythm and stillness, silent sitting are important elements that condition and refine our experiences.Practiced as an active meditation, the work is unique as it centers us in the balance of duality.We find stillness in motion and maintain balance with our inner compass.
