The Boogie is a freestyle dance which happens twice a month in New York City. We offer a relaxed, smoke- and alcohol-free environment where folks can freely express themselves in movement.
People of all ages, families and kids are welcome. Come alone or bring your friends. You'll find folks at the dance moving solo, with partners, and/or in groups. Dress as you wish, but please leave your street shoes at the door before hitting the dance floor. The Barefoot Boogie is a not-for-profit, cooperative and volunteer-run venture.
From our pool of talented DJs, two spin each dance. Each of our DJs has
his or her own distinctive style, but one thing you can rely on is that
at every Boogie you'll hear a wide variety of music: R&B,
World, Funk, Tribal, Hip Hop, Ambient, Reggae, House, African,
Electronica, Disco, Rock, Techno, Drum & Bass, etc.

The Art of Meditation
Meditation is an amazing method through which to improve our mind, and
thereby transform our life and world. But it is not just a technique;
it is like an art through which we can take the raw materials of our
daily life experiences and transform them into something extraordinary:
a joyful path to enlightenment.
In this course we will learn the art of meditation, paying particular
attention to how we prepare and inspire the mind, so that our
meditations become truly beneficial and transformative.

No Fear
Following the Buddhist Way of Life
Our lives are characterized by insecurity, and we make decisions out of
fear, preventing us from actualizing our potential and experiencing the
full meaning of our lives.
In this course, Kadam Morten will explain how through taking Buddha’s
meditations and teachings to heart, we can learn to face our fears and
transform them into powerful sources of inspiration. By connecting to
our own potential for attaining the fearless heart of a Buddha, our
life becomes a deeply fulfilling spiritual path.

JourneyDance™ is a playful and intuitive method of using movement to discover and celebrate our inner strengths. We are all dancers, emotion in motion. We cleanse our bodies and minds with sweat and breath, laughter and prayer. We discover the anatomy of the soul. We feel our power and aliveness. We learn to love ourselves. We find balance and blessings. We become bright, shining, radiant.
Impulsed by music, using elements of theater, visualization, vocalization, guided sequences, and improvisational movement, we awaken our imaginations. We embark on a journey to fully express ourselves as soul. At the journey's end we return home, embodied and whole.
This is the JourneyDance™.
Ritual.
Ritual makes magic. We create ritual space. Magic happens,
Spirit enters, Hearts open. We begin in circle and make sound
as a group. We use imagination to create mini-rituals: we
build a fire, we plant a garden of dreams, we become warriors.
We explores freely, safe in the dance. We reflect on our
experience outside of ritual space and make meaning.
Imagery.
Images and creative visualization enliven the journey. Specific
sensual images transport us into the present moment, into
our bodies, into other worlds: we sink into the mud, we bathe
in golden honey, we surge as an ocean wave, we hunt as warriors,
we float like feathers. Images focus the mind, the body finds
natural expression, and soul travels.
Music.
Music and sound impulse our bodies and spirits. Music alone
has the power to change our states, moods, and levels of
consciousness. Our music opens the seven Chakras, invokes
the elements of earth, water, fire, air, ether, and rides
the Fluids of the body. Careful weaving of specific songs
stimulates and inspires us into empowered boundless expression.

Kirtan
Kirtan
is chanting. Through the chanting of Divine sounds, names, and mantras,
the heart is opened and the body and mind purified. By repeating these
sounds with care and concentration, the spiritual seeker calls out from
the soul to God for protection and guidance. Chanting done in this
devotional attitude lifts the emotions toward selfless, Divine love.
Each Friday night, longtime Kirtan leaders draw the community together
for the chance to experience this beautiful practice. IYI is proud to
host other special Kirtan events from time to time.
