Stav Rhythm: A Nordic pathway to spiritual discovery

Sunday March 23, 2025 9:30am - 10:45am CDT

SCANDVN BALLROOM - MUSIC

This workshop is based on her book "The Runes: A Pandemic Journey" and will take us through the 16 younger Futhark runes, their postures, tones, and animal associations. It's great to study them, to use them in divination, or to sing them...but adding the creation of runic postures brings the entire being in alignment with these sacred letter shapes. Taking note of where we feel them in the body and what they bring up for us is a great pathway to spiritual discovery. All levels of mobility and experience are welcome as we stretch and breathe together in runic unity. Books will be available but are not necessary to enjoy this workshop.
