What do Movement Ministers Do?
All ministers commit to their own 30 minute daily personal movement practice, 4-5 times a week, minimum. This self cultivation forms the foundation of our path of service. As one increases their own vibrational capacity, they are then able to embody the principles deeper and serve on a higher level.
Movement Minister: Are you currently facilitating Ecstatic Dance, teaching Yoga, Qigong, or leading another somatic practice? Becoming a Movement Minister allows you to deepen your commitment and elevate your artform into a sacred service dedicated to your community. As a temple-keeper, you’ll cultivate personal growth and expand your capacity to serve, supporting your community at a higher level.
Music Minister: Become more than a DJ, and learn how to open your channel fully. As a Music Minister, you’ll master delivering transformational experiences through music, guiding your community through powerful and sacred journeys.
