About this Event

Discover the magic of dance as ritual, ceremony, meditation, and sadhana as you explore the powerful meditative movement techniques of the Mayan Kankueb — an ancestral system of physical and energetic movement practices based on Mayan cosmovision. When we combine the Kankueb with rhythmic movement and music, we practice DANZA KANKUEB (Kankueb Dance).

The Kankueb is deeply rooted in the Sacred Cholq'ij, the Mayan ritual calendar, which guides us through our process of spiritual development and bringing the four elements within us into balance. Because Mayan cosmology teaches that the 260 energies of the calendar exist within our bodies, dance is regarded as a powerful tool for awakening and mobilizing this spiritual power. Through circular, rhythmic movements that attune us to the subtle energy of our spine and the major joints of our bodies, Danza Kankueb not only cultivates incredible somatic awareness and dance technique, but also connects you to the bliss of unleashing your own infinite creative potential through movement.

No previous dance experience is required for Danza Kankueb. Beginners will be supported through clear and practical instruction, and the overall emphasis will be on sensing the energetic aspects of movement rather than the mastery of technique. During every 3-hour workshop, we will be exploring the following:

- Therapeutic movement based on Feldenkrais Method somatic practices to increase your sensory awareness and coax your spine and joints into organic movement

- Meditation, breath, and energy practices based on the ancestral Mayan Kankueb

- A unique combination of Danza Kankueb and Tribal Dance technique that will initiate you in movement patterns, energetic activations, and mudras (gestures with the hands, face, and body)

Danza Kankueb is taught by Ishka Kankueb Yoga & Danza Kankueb instructor KARI LUNA and CHAKRA RAJA KAN, who is a Mayan Kamal Be (spiritual guide), Tantric Yogacharya, and Feldenkrais Method master
