Kemò-vad represents a form of dynamic meditation which was used thousands of years ago by the ancient druids of Europe. The name means “dancing in the wind”, or living the rhythm of cosmic development. It is a technique that gathers together the elements of dynamic meditation, holistic gymnastics and the sacred dance of the natural Peoples. It represents something between gymnastic art and a soft martial art, where the opponent is not seen as another person, but as the chance to interact with existence. Through Kemò-vad it is possible to activate and direct the Korà, vital, evolutionary inner energy, towards the achievement of personal cosmic consciousness. Dancing in the wind to become air in the air, to be able to reach the alchemical dimension of spiritual transformation of the personal inner being. In the wind we find the silence with which the true nature of existence shows itself. It is a silence that makes us forget the issues of the moment and leads us, like children, to the threshold of the mystery that animates the Universe.
