Gurdjieff & Whirling Sacred Dances

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.

Whirling Mandala®

Created by Zia Nath is a meditative dance form inspired from the ancient Sufi mystics, the wild spinning gypsies, the earthy ghumraos of Rajasthan & the crystalized awareness of enlightened mystics.

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.

She is the founder of Realms of Dance® – a sacred dance performance inspired from diverse spiritual traditions of the Indian subcontinent. Zia specialises in Gurdjieff Movements, Whirling Dances and Odissi Indian Classical.

Zia has been in the practice of these dances since three decades. She is inspired by this work in her own spiritual journey and teaches it as a sacred art for our inner evolving consciousness.
