She teaches about life, love and relationship through the lens of awakening. People across the country choose to work with Padma when they are at a potent crossroads and are searching for deeper meaning in life or when they are in need of insightful reflection. They may be ending a relationship, desiring more purposeful work, facing an illness, grieving a loss or wanting to be more present and engaged in life. Padma assists others to turn toward what they are experiencing so that they can create movement where they are stuck, come home to themselves and thrive. Padma has been in practice for over 10 years and draws from a variety of modalities including contemplative movement practices, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, embodiment, Somatic Gestalt, self-inquiry, and radical truth-telling. She works with individuals and facilitates groups nationwide teaching new ways of listening to the body, quieting the mind, and opening to the heart. The depth of Padma’s embodied presence catalyzes her clients and students into new levels of self-awareness. Her life is devoted to being an ally who helps others awaken their authentic connection to self so that they may walk through the world feeling at ease in their own skin. www.padmagordon.com/ 7:30pm - Movement Class 8:30pm - Ecstatic Dance (warm up) 9:00pm - Invocation 9:05pm - Ecstatic Dance (main set) 11:00pm - Closing Meditation / Sound Healing @ Fairfax Community Church 2398 Sir Francis Drake Fairfax, CA $18 Multiple Dance Passes available for Discount ($13 or $15 each) Free the week of your Birthday And for Volunteers.
