Contemplative Dance Practice (CDP) � Tuesday, April 7 | 6:45–8:00 pmStep into a sacred space where movement and stillness meet.
CDP is a gentle, structured exploration of conscious movement — no dance experience required. Each session unfolds in three parts:
� Guided Meditation (20 min) — Arrive, settle, and drop in � Personal Awareness Practice (20 min) — Your own warm-up, at your own pace � Open Space (20 min) — Moving and witnessing together as a group
Developed by postmodern dance artist and Buddhist practitioner Barbara Dilley in the 1970s, CDP creates a sacred container for movement exploration and sitting practice — a place to discover what it means to move consciously, both alone and together.
This session is led by Kristen Stake — Maine modern dance artist, licensed therapist, and practitioner of somatics and expressive arts therapies — and a member of the Maine Center for Sacred Arts council.
� $15 suggested | Venmo or cash No one turned away for lack of funds.
