TBD Immersive treats Washington, DC to a fully-immersive theatre experience that begins as soon as the audience arrives. Set in the 2020s, the popular, anti-establishment Cabaret in the heart of DC has become a thorn in the side of the government. On one end, you can simply sit and watch the mainstage cabaret (the show within a show); on the other, you can race around the venue solving puzzles, connecting storylines and accomplishing tasks given by performers.
In this two-day healing workshop, we will explore stress relief techniques, practice qigong, yoga and meditation, work with grief and loss in small groups, and use ritual to process. We will use art, writing, and movement as tools to find our voice and purpose through creativity. We will connect with and draw from the healing power of nature. The format of this group work is based on Healing Circles principles to build companionship, support, and trust in the inherent wisdom and compassion of each individual and of the group. Women ages 20-55 at any stage are welcome.
