Description

We will meet for a 2 hour introductory workshop: a gently guided experience designed to facilitate accepting our bodies, with all their stories and all their promptings, in the second half of our lives. We will come into the body while turning towards the soul: naturally tending the body by healing the soul.


Karuna Haber grew up in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, child of a scientist and an artist, and she is deeply grateful for the beauty of nature that became her childhood refuge. In spite of that magical connection, she became obsessed with classical ballet, leaving home at 13 for professional track ballet school. Immersion in the dance world brought injury of both body and spirit, turning her into a healer and spiritually sourced movement artist. Karuna Haber is a dancer with a background in ballet, modern and post-modern dance, and Middle Eastern dance as approached from a from a mystical, alchemical perspective. She has been a Yoga teacher, Dancemeditation™ instructor, Sufi spiritual healer and master teacher of the Shadhuli Sufi lineage, and a bodyworker with many years of hands-on experience with bodies and souls of all ages and temperaments. She never tires of seeing the beauty and joy that opens for each person - in their own way and their own timing, as body and spirit weave and dance together once again.
