An experiential meditative movement practice designed to help you quiet the mind, soften the body, connect with others, and enter a deep state of presence.
Latihan is the spiritual practice of surrender. An invitation to release the effort of consciously directing yourself and become receptive to what is moving through and around you.
You will be invited to set aside your usual identities, blindfold yourself, and enter a shared space of slow, intentional and silent movement.
Without conversation, performance, or expectation, you will practice listening inwardly: to sensations, impulses, emotions, thoughts, and the subtle energy of your own body. You will also become aware of the presence and energy of others moving around you.
There is nowhere to go, nothing to achieve, and nothing to perform.
THIS IS A CLOSED CONTAINER: THERE WILL BE NO ADMISSION PAST 7:15PM
WHAT IS LATIHAN?
Latihan is a spiritual practice of surrendering into spontaneous movement rather than consciously directing the body.
The word latihan means “practice” or “training.” In this practice, we train ourselves to become more receptive—to listen beneath the surface of thought, soften our attachment to identity, and allow movement, stillness, sensation, and awareness to arise naturally.
Latihan is not about creating movement. It is about becoming present enough to notice what is already happening within you.
For this experience, we will explore that principle through a facilitated, blindfolded, silent movement practice.

You don't need to know how to dance. You don't need to be spiritual. You don't need to be “good” at meditation or surrender.
