Awaken Your Creativity: Surrender To Love
This Dance Meditation practice helps you unlock explosive creativity within you. Whether you are a beginner in dance or in meditation, or have been practicing either for some time, this unique Dance Meditation makes your life and work:

More delightful
More beautiful
More intelligent
More joyous

And yes, definitely a little more crazy and fun.
Combined with meditative techniques, dance becomes a great transformational force. One that dissolves creative blocks, fires up your imagination, puts you back in touch with your feelings, and gets that creative flow gushing through you again.
Your loved ones will notice a growing sense of creative playfulness, celebration, and ease around you: in your professional work, your personal life, and in your self-awareness.
But all that is secondary. If you go deep, dance is the most direct path with which you may experience a sense of ecstatic liberation, and get that priceless taste of bliss and freedom. So come!

This is the 12th Meditation event since 2016 in the ‘Awaken’ Series conducted by Niyam. Not counting the free and online meditations conducted for participants from all over the world, over two years of the pandemic from Mar 2020 till Jul 2021. Some of those online meditations during the pandemic were daily, others over weekends.
Here’s a collage of the 11 major ‘Awaken’ Meditation events since 2016:

A few of the techniques of meditation used here are from ‘Awaken Your Creativity Through Design-Think‘ which is a 4-day/3-nights Meditation and Design Retreat. Conducted earlier in July 2019, that has been a mind-blowing experience for participants. Take a look at the photo below and get a glimpse of it here.
