Highly creative, interactive, experimental and always different every time, it is a powerful group session to awaken ourselves while connecting with like-minded souls.
Qu’est-ce qu’un Voyage Sonore Spirituel?
Une création originale de Shantih Shala Holistic Arts depuis 2013, SSJ (Spiritual Sound Journey) est un voyage méditatif unique des sens qui se concentre particulièrement sur les sons et les vibrations. Ses marques de fabrique caractéristiques sont les pratiques de SBM (Sound / Breath / Movement : Son/respiration /mouvement), de méditation, de travail de thérapie par le son, accompagnés de musique et de sons en live, créant un processus d’ancrage profond. Très créatif, interactif, expérimental et différent à chaque fois, c’est une session de groupe puissante pour nous éveiller tout en nous connectant avec des âmes partageant la même recherche.
What is Qi Dance?
Qi Dance is a mixture of Qi Gong, martial arts and dance, we find modern dance and body awareness of Chinese methods. The Qi Dance is a novelty but comes from Qi Gong and contemporary dances.
Qi Gong is there for health, manage stress and emotions, bring vitality. With the Qi Dance to find that too, but thanks to the dance awaken the free expressions of each one. As a result, it becomes a spontaneous Qi Gong with a certain awareness of the spiral movement and the notion of unity between the center and the extremities. All this allows people to wake up and express themselves more. So, for those who take Qi Gong classes, it helps them to deepen the essence of the gestures, and to internalize them, at the same time, in their body.
In China the origin of dances is the origin of the martial arts. The human being has always awakened his body to open also the depth of his being. Every kind of dance seeks to release what we are inside of ourselves. All masters of martial arts in China practiced free movements in the beginning, listening and tuning in to what they were. With time they created rules, Tai Ji and Qi Gong are the bases. Qi Dance is a dance with nature, without forgetting its shamanic side.
All the movements are spiral and directed by the basin to animate the rhythm, the same one found in art, in music, etc. It is the pelvis that radiates and that resonate our whole body. We do not seek the perfection of the gesture, the perfect technique. Qi Dance is a way of listening to oneself. Everyone potentially has this ability and so can do Qi Dance.
N’oubliez pas qu’il ne s’agit ni d’un concert ni d’un spectacle. Nous ne sommes pas là pour vous divertir ou pour vous plaire.
En fait, VOUS FAITES PARTIE DE CE PROCESSUS UNIQUE ET CRÉATIF.
Ensemble, nous créerons une bande sonore pour nous entraider à plonger plus profondément dans notre bonheur méditatif, à travers nos blocages mentaux, à libérer des énergies stagnantes, à équilibrer nos émotions et à libérer le corps.
Veuillez-vous joindre à nous pour célébrer le don du mouvement, de la thérapie par le son, des méditations et des énergies positives !

SSJ Memories & what people say 回忆+分享…
Memories from Shantih Shala Holistic Arts in Lyon and Paris, Apr 2018: https://shantihshala.com/memories/
”All since I’ve been training and healing myself….being with you and learning with you….
AND the more I learned to be free in and through SSJ, the more free I feel outside of it around people.
It’s because I have this provided space where I can be open and free and weird or crazy or whatever society would deem… because I have the opportunity to do whatever there, it transfers to other areas of my life. It’s because I see people in their free-ness it inspires me to be even more free and seek after my own heart.
I love the free-ness…. the free-ness of self.
We are free but we are not free. We put ourselves into bondage daily unbeknownst to us. We have to be taught how to be free and ”you allow us to be own Master while pointing us in the right direction”
Setting the spirit free to love and just BE…My mind being free set my spirit free…
So I just wanna thank you for being the person that gave me the key.” ~ Khadijah Zareen
Dear Jo, I absolutely loved the session the other night. It was good to get the inner animal out of the prison and also throw away the mental garbage before sitting down for real meditation. I find such dynamic meditations to be very effective so I will be looking forward to joining these sessions in the future. Many thanks for organizing it!
SSJ brought me into deep discovery of self and deep healing. With Josephine’s facilitation, I was able to dive within and allowed everything coming up. I felt such relief after workshop and being whole again.
