2026 July Moon Workshop: Whirling Magic with Nawal

ABOUT THE PROGRAM: Whirling Magic: a Journey in to transcendental states. Rooted in the rich tradition of Egyptian Tanoura folklore yet offered here as a universal, non-religious practice, this master class invites you into one of humanity’s most ancient movement rituals. Whirling is not simply spinning — it is an art of organization, a discipline of the body finding its home along the vertical axis. In this space, all are welcome, regardless of background or belief, to experience the profound intelligence this practice carries within its turns. There is a paradox at the heart of whirling: the more the body moves, the more still the inner world becomes. At the center of this stillness lives the spine — the Sushumna, the central axis, the body’s own antenna. As we organize ourselves along this vertical channel, the brain’s signal travels downward through the crystalline medium of cerebrospinal fluid, illuminating the cord that connects crown to root. This is not metaphor — it is physiology meeting mystery. The vertical axis has always been our access point to the flow state, to expanded consciousness, to that deeper current of aliveness that runs through us when we get out of our own way. This class is a fully embodied, experiential journey through breath work, intentional movement, and the conscious organization of the body in space.
