Mindful Rhythms – trauma informed education

Mindful Rhythms used in group process for Break the Chain rehearsal at Moreau High SchoolBorders to bring rehearsals to Moreau High School and a campus flash mob dance on March 8th, International Women’s Day, to teach the power of restorative justice, art in action, healing through rhythm and dance, and to bring an awareness to the need to stop violence against women and children.  The March 8th flash mob dance was a continuation of the global dance event, One Billion Rising, which occurred on February 14th, with over 200 countries around the world dancing to break the chain of violence.

Over 25 students and staff members participated in the flash mob dance, performed at the end of classes Friday afternoon to a surprised standing room only crowd.  Signs stating facts about domestic violence and abuse had been created by the dancers and were held by students through the dance.  It was a powerful experience for all!
