MUDRA SPACE AWARENESS is an energetic sequence of physical and vocal exercises that were introduced to the West by meditation master Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche. They sharpen mental focus, align body and mind and revitalize the creative power of imagination. Performed in a group setting, these tools open awareness up to a bigger space where our aspirations for an interconnected and mindful life naturally develop. Trungpa originally shared this work with performers as a method for helping them toward authentic engagement with their acting. As time has passed, however, the need for intelligent and courageous engagement with our world urges all of us toward genuine performing, cultivating flexibility and authenticity in our daily life and in our commitment to our planet. These practices are an ally on that journey.Location:Naropa University Nalanda Campus – 6287 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder, CO 80303 Room 9184Dates/times:Saturday, February 4th 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. (lunch break 12:30-2 p.m.)Sunday, February 5th 10 a.m.-1 p.m.Cost: $50 General admission; $45 Naropa community members (students, staff, faculty, alumnx)Naropa welcomes participants with diverse abilities.
