Late Night Latihan - A Blindfolded Movement Meditation

A Blindfolded Journey into the Unknown

📅 Thursday, October 16 · 8:00 – 10:30 PM📍 Union Square, Somerville - Location shared upon registration

What happens when you take away sight, words, and scripts—and let the body lead?

Latihan is a blindfolded, wordless movement practice. No choreography. No map. No right way. Just you, your breath, and the mystery that moves through.

Originating from the Subud tradition in Indonesia, Latihan is a practice of surrender. In this late-night session, the blindfold helps soften the chatter of the mind so another kind of awareness can emerge. What rises might be stillness. Or laughter. Or tears. Or an instinctive movement you didn’t know you had in you.

This isn’t about performance. It’s about discovery.This isn’t about knowing. It’s about trust.

“The most profound somatic practice I’ve experienced.”

When you arrive, you’ll step into a candlelit studio already humming with possibility. We’ll begin in Opening Circle: setting agreements, clarifying consent and boundaries, and introducing the practice. You’ll be given everything you need to feel safe, sovereign, and supported.

Once blindfolds are tied, the room shifts. The absence of sight heightens everything else: the rhythm of your own breath, the pulse of the music, the subtle movements of others near you. With words gone, your body becomes the only language.

Some participants find themselves moving in ways they’ve never allowed before—gentle sways, sudden bursts of energy, moments of trembling stillness. Others find tears, laughter, or a quiet inner spaciousness. There’s no right or wrong way to experience it.

We’ll close together in circle, grounding, breathing, and making space for those who want to share what arose.

“Loved the space and the container; it all felt very welcoming and comfortable.”

• Heightened awareness of breath, sound, and sensation
• A release of stored tension or stuck energy
• Surprising new movements and instincts emerging
• Deep inner stillness, clarity, or emotional release
• A felt sense of connection to others without words
• A chance to meet yourself beyond your usual patterns

“Very warm, surrendering experience.”

• A blindfold (extras will be available)
• Comfortable clothing you can move in
• A willingness to enter the unknown

• This is not a dance class—there are no steps to learn. It’s about presence, not performance.
• Doors close at 8:15 PM to preserve the container.
• Refunds available up to 7 days prior.

“I enjoyed being able to explore touch and connection in a safe environment.”

Because sometimes the next chapter of your story can’t be thought out. It can only be felt.
