In addition to their professional training, Carolyn and Patricia helped found Northshore Rising Sun Sangha, a group of practitioners following the Zen tradition of world peace activist and teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, whom they have studied with at Magnolia Grove Monastery. These teachings and practices will be reflected in the retreat. Women of all (or no) religious backgrounds are welcome and will be honored. It is not necessary to be interested in becoming Buddhist to benefit from learning these mindfulness practices. In fact, most women find that their existing spiritual/ religious path is enhanced.
ABOUT CAROLYN BURNS & MOVEMENT THERAPY
Carolyn Burns works with individuals and couples to open their hearts and find the potential living inside. Dance, the act of being in creative rapport with one’s self, has always been a path to the deep self - and ecstasy - for Carolyn. From this creative center she has evolved to include elements of drama, storytelling, and mindfulness meditation in her work with others. Carolyn delights in sharing the soulful experience of NIA dance technique, a blend of exercise dance, martial arts and yoga. She teaches at the Women’s Center for Healing & Transformation and at Shall We Dance Studio in Mandeville. Having created retreats and group celebrations, including deep ritual, for various organizations over the last 20 years, Carolyn brings a sensitivity to and vision of personal expansion only possible in group process. In her private practice work as a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist working with couples and individuals, Carolyn focuses on facilitating a greater sense wholeness and integrated living in her clients’ lives. She has presented on dance, dance movement therapy and basic psychology at Loyola University, Delgado Community College, Southeastern University, UNO, and in her local community. She has been married for 25 years to her husband, and is mother of two young adults. In recent years she is involved in the caretaking of elders, sharing that demanding and precious adventure with her sisters.
