Guided Movement & Dance Meditation from MeshGround

Umeshi Rajeendra

Dance Artist, Movement Coach and Choreographer 

Umeshi is a dance artist, Lecturer, and movement educator. Currently a Lecturer at the University of Peradeniya and a Dance Educator at Asian International School,  Umeshi received her Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Dance at the University of the Arts, USA, where she was one of the recipients of the President’s Fund for Excellence, and Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Dance from Denison University, USA. 

Umeshi is the co-founder of MeshGround, a platform for movement arts – here to empower children and adults alike through movement art practices.

Umeshi thinks with her body and through the active state of embodying. This is because for her dance/movement is the most direct route to the truth of oneself, in her research and experience — a truth that dives into what’s-happening-in-me-right-now kind of truth. This is because our bodies are our primary instruments with which we absorb, understand, refine, and create, combining the physical with mental thinking that makes dance not only possible but powerful.

This workshop will be an introduction to guided movement and dance practices to help you develop tools to understand your personal relationship with breath, rhythm, space, and energy, uncovering the power of movement within you.

Fiona Raymond

Kundalini Yoga Teacher & Reiki Master

Fiona has been teaching Kundalini Yoga for 19 years and playing Gong for 8 years. She is a Level 1, Level 2 Kundalini Yoga teacher and Lead teacher trainer in the Aquarian Teachers Academy.

Fiona is a healer and Reiki Master and also runs detoxification programs. She currently teaches Kundalini Yoga at Om Space and Prana Lounge in Colombo, and has taught in Ecuador, UK and Sri Lanka. Music and mantra are an essential part of classes. She began learning Hatha yoga at age of 18 but became inspired by Kundalini Yoga and qualified as a teacher in 2003 in Ecuador, South America.

Fiona helps you understand the science behind yoga. Mantra and sound are used as tools to channel Prana and change connections in the limbic centre or rhythm center of the brain, to free you from negative mind patterns. Her philosophy is by understanding the self and learning emotional intelligence a person can free themselves to live a happy, healthy and fulfilled life. Gong meditation is a unique type of sound practice that involves using therapeutic gong sounds and vibrations to bring about healing. This practice is also sometimes referred to as a “gong bath” because participants are “bathed” in meditation gong sound waves. The goal of “gong meditation” is usually therapeutic, whereas mindfulness meditation has many therapeutic benefits, but its deeper goal is awareness and non-judgmental appreciation of the present moment. Sound therapy has long been used to manage a broad range of health conditions. The treatments are based on the understanding that all forms of matter – including our body’s cells – vibrate at different frequencies. Factors such as stress, depression and disease cause cells and organs within our bodies to vibrate at non-optimal frequencies.

Colour My Life: Art to Relax, Unwind & De-stress – An Experiential Art Session
1:30-2:30 PM | LKR 1,250/person (incl. cost of supplies)

Shimali Perera

Art Therapist 

Shimali Perera is a graduate of Art Therapy from Lasalle College of the Arts, Singapore and a Registered Art Therapist of ANZACATA. She is also a graduate in Psychology from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, U.S.A.

As an Art Therapist her experience is with adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety disorders and children who have experienced trauma due to physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect, children from single-parent families, and grief.

Shimali has also conducted talks and Art Therapy Experiential workshops for counsellors, doctors, professionals in the co-operate sector, teachers, children, NGOs and the public in both Sri Lanka and overseas.

Healing the mind and working through trauma is always something that is much easier said than done, and different people respond differently to different therapies. One of the more unusual forms of Psychotherapy is Art Therapy – where art is used as a medium of communication and expression when words are insufficient.

This will be an Art Experiential Workshop where you will experience a taste of what Art Therapy is all about. You are not required to have any background knowledge in art, only an openness to trust the process, relax, and enjoy. You will be guided through a variety of art activities that also gives you the much needed “Me-Time” to reflect and ponder with as well. As you join us for this session, keep in mind that ‘Ugly is Beautiful’ and ‘Messes Are Welcome’.

Tehani Chitty

Drama Therapist

Tehani Chitty is a therapist who provides one-to-one and group counselling sessions for children with emotional and behavioural difficulties, adults with anxiety, those who have experienced trauma and at-risk children and youth. She has a MA in Drama and movement therapy from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (UK) and is a member of the British Association of Dramatherapists. From 2018 to 2019 Tehani ran self-compassion groups with women from conflict-affected areas in Sri Lanka. She has worked with children in residential care for 3 years and has co-created the Good Enough Parent Course. Tehani is passionate about supporting people to move into a healthier relationship with themselves, others and the world around them. She uses play, storytelling and enactment, and movement as the medium through which to facilitate this journey.

Movement is a bridge between our inner and outer worlds. It helps us to connect to the wisdom and information that is stored within our bodies so we can learn more about ourselves. It also helps us to process and release what we need to. Research has shown us that we send and receive information between each other and within ourselves from a place below conscious awareness. Movement is one way in which we can access these parts of ourselves and bring that information into consciousness. This process helps us to regulate so we can move into a space where we can respond rather than react.

This is a chance for you to experience a movement session for yourself. It will also be an opportunity for you to bring any questions you might have about drama therapy or the therapeutic process in general. You don’t need to be a dancer to join. Just leave your shoes, wear something comfortable and let your body do the leading.
