Start 2026 in active movement and flow of you body and creativity through the practice of Nia!
 
Join the Ritualwell community and Nia instructor Janice Steinberg (who is also one of our Advot members) to engage your body, spirit and creativity through Nia movement followed by prompts for reflection and writing. No experience needed.
 
Nia is based on the philosophy that everyone can enhance their potential for a healthy, meaningful life by engaging their senses and listening compassionately to their bodies. While it is adaptable to individual needs and abilities, its core principle is finding your body’s joy of movement, whether that’s swaying gently in a chair or dancing. Nia is low-impact and designed to be done barefoot. But it’s fine to wear tennis or jazz-dance shoes if that’s best for you. What you’ll need is a clear space so you have room to move, or, if you choose to stay seated that will work, too.
Have writing materials at hand. You may want art materials, as well.
 
This online session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.

She is wearing a sleeveless patterned top and is surrounded by green foliage, with soft sunlight filtering through the leaves.A lifelong search for embodied spirituality led Janice Steinberg to the rich body-mind-spirit practice of Nia. She holds a Black Belt in Nia and has been teaching for 17 years. Her spring retreat in Italy, “Dance into Ancient Wisdom,” combines movement and the Kabbalah Tree of Life. She is also an author. Her novel The Tin Horse was published by Random House, and she has a five-book mystery series published by Berkley.
