Join Paul and Laura Lee Robear, directors of the Cuyamungue Institute, for an experiential evening exploring Ritual Postures for Ecstatic Trance—an embodied practice inspired by sacred postures preserved in ancient art from cultures around the world.

Through a simple seated posture, rhythmic drumming and intentional ritual, participants will be guided into an altered state of awareness sometimes described as a “waking dream.” As attention turns inward and the everyday world becomes quieter, imagery, sensation, emotion and intuitive insight may begin to emerge.

No plant medicine, psychedelics or other substances are used. No previous meditation experience, spiritual training or special physical ability is required. Participants remain awake and aware throughout the experience.
