About our Special Guest and Bellydance Instructor Mara: We are thrilled to announce that the belly dance portion of our event will be led by the incredibly talented Mara, a renowned belly dancer and instructor who has recently made the scenic move from Orange County, California, to Colorado Springs. Mara brings over 20 years of performance experience and a decade of teaching expertise to our workshop. Having studied under many celebrated instructors, Mara offers a rich and diverse understanding of belly dance. Her participation in the Belly Dancer's Dream Tour to Egypt, learning from legends like Professor Hassan Khalil and Kharriya Mazzin, has deepened her practice, blending Egyptian, Armenian, Turkish, and Cabaret styles with a modern flair. Mara is known for her proficiency in using finger cymbals, veils, scimitars, canes, and candelabras, and she is lauded for her drum solos and floor work. She is excited to share her love and knowledge of belly dance with new students in our community.

WHAT IS A SOUND BATH?

A sound bath is a meditative experience where people are "bathed" in sound waves produced by various overtone-emitting instruments, including singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and more. During a sound bath, people lie down and listen to resonant sounds, allowing their brain waves to slow and shift from a more active state to a more relaxed or dreamlike state. The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, explore self-inquiry and self-discovery, and help people let go of stress, anxiety, or other worries. A sound bath is typically a way of managing anxiety, soothing the nervous system, and blocking all the ideas and thoughts out of your consciousness as you connect with your body.
