Moving Rasa Trainings

Trainings differ from the other offerings because the underlying framework and philosophy for classes are spelled out in a way that participants can then use the material to recreate their own Moving Rasa experiences.

From my experience trainings have needed between 12-24 class hours to get an introductory exposure to the core design components for Moving Rasa. And more hours of homework and practice to integrate the work. Some of the prior trainings I have held have been in-person and virtual.

Non-sponsored trainings often times pull in people from the Moving Rasa community who have been exposed to the work through festivals or workshops and they want to develop their application of it. They draw a cohort of artists, community organizers, activist, and leaders interested in centering their bodies, relationships and collective sensibility in their work.

Testimony:

“I remember one time when I was trying to reflect on my life for the few days prior. Hyper-productive. I couldn’t recall all the things I did. I recalled I fell down in front of my television. I couldn’t recall what I watched. I was using my body to output but not connecting to my process. I became worried about that and more conscious. This is my existence. While I think I have a lot more control, more presentness to my world, I really don’t. What we are learning reconnects me and has me analyze things around me. Are things around me only to serve me? Is that the only purpose. What is my relationship to these things. and bigger than that is the concept of play! Adult play, to really play like we did when we were children. and curiosity sparks and your imagination is there. I hear people say use your imagination, especially with self healing work. but if you don’t know how to access your imagination, then what? I realized that I had not been accessing my imagination as effectively as I could. Going through this process has taught me the simplest ways to access my imagination. Like walking or following the lines around my space and becoming curious.”
