Mitzvah
Technique:
The Mitzvah Technique is
postural re-alignment and re-education of movement. It is a gentle, healing art
form which guides the body, through a simple rippling upward of the spine, back
to health and wholeness. Using the force of gravity the Mitzvah Technique
re-aligns the body back into its’ proper alignment with gravity. This ground
breaking technique affects the skeletal system as well as the neuro-muscular
system changing the body’s posture as well as improving overall health and
wellness. The Mitzvah Technique is gentle and relaxing yet the changes are
intense and the health benefits are to numerous to mention.
Dorian Leigh began dancing at the age of 4 and has been a dancer and ever
since. Dancing classical ballet and choreographing professionally for over 20
years, Dorian sustained injuries due to the demands on her body. Finding no
relief from conventional methods of treatment, she began to study and research
her own injuries to heal them. As she learned about her body’s incorrect
alignment, Dorian began to connect her injuries to her spine and found herself
drawn to the Mitzvah Technique. Disciplined practice of the Mitzvah Technique
helped to rehabilitate, correct and re-align her spine. Her body healed itself
and re-established its balance with gravity. Dorian Leigh has been practicing
the Mitzvah Technique since 1987 and is a Certified Teacher and Practitioner
since 2003. Dorian Leigh continues to dance and is an independent
dancer/choreographer and teacher and has been teaching her own ballet classes
since 2002.

What is the Pathwork?
The Pathwork provides a very practical
approach to attaining greater personal well-being. The approach is set
out in a substantial body of teachings called Pathwork Guide Lectures.
These lectures will guide you in the discovery and dissolution of
unconscious wrong beliefs that hold you from living life more fully.
“The path is, above
everything else, a process of making things conscious.” (Lecture
193: Resume of the Basic Principles of the Pathwork: Its Aims and
Process, p. 9)
Understanding how you
create your own life will allow you to become a savvier creator.
“You constantly
create, whether you know it or not. The trouble is that you do not know
what creations you produce unwittingly ... You need to know what you are
doing and how you create. Your disconnection from the creative seeds you
plant and their results causes unnecessary pain and frustration.”
(Lecture 208: The Innate Human Capacity to Create, p. 5)
More information on the Pathwork is up
on the Pathwork Canada web site at
www.pathwork.ca, as well as on the international web site:
www.pathwork.org. These web sites
include information on the Pathwork as an approach, on the worldwide
Pathwork community, and on Pathwork materials.

Zen Echoes: Series starting in May (dates as below)
Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and
you will find that it is to the soul what the water-bath is to
the body. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes
Zen Echoes is sound as a practice. This practice teaches you how
to use your instrument, the one you were born with and carry
with you every day. It is not about becoming a musician,
learning an instrument or being on stage. It is about your
personal song as part of the universal symphony. You will learn
how to find your song, how to pick it up and sing it through
your rhythms, your breath, how you speak, move, listen and sing.
Zen Echoes is taught in nine one hour sessions. The sessions are
grouped in three, incorporating the body, mind and spirit:
Body: Rhythm – 1 hour, Breath – 1 hour, Movement – 1 hour
Heart/Mind: Listening – 1 hour, Speaking – 1 hour, Singing – 1
hour Spirit: Overtones – 1 hour, Connection – 1 hour, Stillness
– 1 hour
The series is about building a practice and follows this format
as one class builds on the next class. Wear comfortable clothing
for movement, bring water and journaling materials.
Sunday May 16th, 23rd, 30th 6:30 - 7:30 pm
Sunday June 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th 6:30 - 7:30 pm
