Welcome to Neskaya Movement Arts Center

Our beautiful building was designed as "sacred space" to promote inner happiness, healthy social connections and world peace through the practice of celebrating our differences. We offer movement disciplines that are also spiritual practices as well as other programs designed to heal the divisions between body and soul, between people of different cultural backgrounds, and between human beings and the material body of our planet.

Beginners are welcome
to all our activities including:

Dance, Yoga & Tai Chi

Quote from the
Neskaya Bulletin Board

New Age or Armageddon?

"I'm asked, night after night, 'Is this the New Age, or is it the Armageddon?' And I say, 'I used to think I should have an opinion about this, but as I examined it, I saw that if it's going to be the Armageddon and I am going to die, the best thing to do to prepare for it is to quiet my mind, open my heart, and deal with the suffering in front of me. And if it's going to be the New Age, the best thing to do is to quiet my mind, open my heart, and deal with the suffering in front of me. It turns out it really doesn't matter. So I don't care."

-Ram Dass, interviewed by Sy Safransky
(the editor and founder of The Sun magazine)
