C O R E M O T I O N SCHEDULE 2024-2025

“SPACE IS THE PLACE.” Sun Ra

“By opening keys to the body and its energies, Daria Fain’s Internal Alchemy as a Motor for Performance (aka C O R E M O T I O N) radically shifted my idea of what vocal sound could do. Daria Fain is a gifted teacher with rare perceptive capacities, capable of creating communities that are rigorous, warm, and safe environments for discovery.” Samita Sinha

Un experiential exploration to merge creativity, healing, and spirituality by Daria Faïn

Mission:

This comprehensive study program covers multiple interdependent aspects of health, spirituality, and creativity, providing students with a well-rounded education.

My long-term research is inspired by an endless curiosity about the human experience as a means of creating performances, which led me to become an Alexander teacher and a never-ending student of Tao and Tibetan Buddhism.

The program is conceived with different modules focusing on complementary aspects of being.

The seeker of happiness is within us, and strength and fluidity in the body support a mind at rest and vis versa. The program is a journey to unify mind and body as we experience the dynamics of our emotions and psyche within spaciousness in the creative impetus of the art of life.

The program is addressed to all levels of experience.

It is designed to be taken one module at a time, as a combination of modules, or as the program as a whole.

The program will officially begin in January. I will offer a series of teachings from October through December for people who want to try classes.

Registration below in the calendar.

WORKSHOPS

WINTER SEASONAL WORKSHOP

THE WATER WHEEL

January 12, 10 AM - 3 PM (in-person and online)

Water/Winter Dynamic Agent

The zhi 志, or willpower, is linked to the kidneys. Will is the involvement of the water qi in the building and functioning of awareness and the mind. In Chinese classical texts, will is the determination of the mind. It bends the mindset in a certain direction and controls its activity. The will aims at a goal, whether personal ambition or noble ideal. By means of the will, one is disposed to do or not do something, inclined to like or dislike something. The will is a deep and strong aspiration of the whole being.

It is about using our innermost fear as a transformative force to transform trust, endurance, and fluidity.

The workshop will propose a series of bodymind cultivation of our life force to strengthen kidneys, bladder, and bones by activating sexual energy.

Tier 1: $160 - Tier 2: $150 - Tier 3: $136
