She has more than two decades of experience facilitating workshops, trainings, and retreats of DOL in Los Angeles, New York, Guatemala, Indonesia, Israel, and Greece. Working on both an individual and group basis, Parashakti has successfully adapted the teachings of the Dance of Liberation as a modality for recovery from addiction, PTSD, and disordered eating. She currently works at Recover Integrity and is the Co - Founder and Spiritual Director of Sanctuary in the City. SITC is an 8 week spiritually-based evening addiction treatment program for working professionals. The curriculum is based on Parashakti's 7 Foundations integrating dynamic experiences with master healers, process groups, psycho-education, individual psychotherapy, psychiatry, and one-on-one holistic healing for people who want to address their substance abuse issues and are seeking an alternative path. ➤ The Dance of Liberation® is a unique form of movement therapy which heals and frees physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blockages. Utilizing Parashakti's 7 Foundations, Dance of Liberation incorporates dance, contemporary shamanism, yoga, hands on healing, drumming and global music, this powerful and beautiful soul work sheds inhibitions and heightens inner awareness in a safe and carefully monitored group setting. Dancers are blindfolded in the shamanic tradition and step beyond their conscious fears and limitations and allow their innermost creative sides to break free. Dancers tune in to sound and movement to take an inner journey exploring a trancelike state of self-discovery and self-realization. ▸▸▸ Visionary & Producer of Dance of Liberation documentary: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY42U1p5QRj3mozKzAwgmPw ----------------------------------- ➤ Jen Rose https://www.jenrosemusic.com Jen Rose is a classically trained Vocalist, Instrumentalist, Intuitive Singer-Songwriter, Music Producer, and Sound Healer.
