REGISTRATION CLOSES ON JULY 1st

Living Art: Chakras is a seven-part online workshop series of sound-and-motion meditations for body and voice, guided by Sacred Dance Guild facilitator Claire Elizabeth Barratt and sponsored by the Sacred Dance Guild and Cilla Vee Life Arts.

Through a spirited blend of movement, breath, vocal intonement, and improvisation to music, you’ll explore the chakra system as a living map of the Self—energy centers in the core body that awaken distinctive qualities of voice, gesture, and presence.

Across seven sessions—one chakra each week—you’ll journey from Root (survival) to Crown (divinity), touching Sacral (sensuality), Solar Plexus (courage), Heart (compassion), Throat (expression), and Third Eye (wisdom) along the way.

Each gathering includes an introduction to the week’s chakra, physical gestures, vocal explorations, time for questions and reflection, and a concluding discussion—offering you an embodied “toolkit” you can continue to draw from in your own practice.

All are welcome, and the work is suitable for all experience levels and abilities; whether you’re new to chakra meditation or a seasoned performing artist, this series invites you to deepen the personal and spiritual dimensions of your movement and voice.

Claire Elizabeth Barratt is an internationally recognized interdisciplinary artist and educator whose decades of experience span performance, choreography, and transformative pedagogy. Her unique approach blends dance, voice, and spiritual inquiry into a deeply expressive and accessible practice.

The series runs on Tuesdays in July and August, beginning on Tuesday, 7/7, from 12:00–1:00 pm EDT.

The Zoom sessions are hosted by the Center for Connection + Collaboration: attend live or receive a recording link afterward.

Tuition is a sliding scale of $70–$140 for all seven sessions.

Coming up this Thursday at Reece Museum ETSU …

Here, Claire has chosen to interact with both ‘Carriage Ride’ and ‘Continuum’ together. As the pieces summon the elements of Fire and Water (respectively), Kima’s music reflects those sounds in the audio work. MOVE. THROUGH. LIGHT. Will be performed at Reece Museum this Thursday, March 26. Performances are 1 hour long, beginning at 3:30 and 6:30. The exhibit is open to visit throughout the day with folks gathering 30 minutes before each performance. #gratitude #movement #energy #sound #music #dance #johnsoncity #johnsoncitytn #artmuseum #creativity #art #collaboration #contemporaryart #contemporarymovement #contemporarysound @cillaveelifearts @loud_quietness @etsureecemuseum
