The 3rd Annual Zen Cruise: Take an Inward Journey Out at Sea Spiritual Travel Adventure Offers Yoga, Meditation, Workshops, Musical Performances

Fort Lauderdale, October 26, 2015 (Newswire.com) -  The Zen Cruise offers an inner and outer voyage through soul-thriving live and electronic music, movement and self-explorative programming.  Singer, songwriter and guitarist Trevor Hall will lead its 2016 roster of celebrated performance artists.

"The Zen Cruise is an invitation to fall more deeply in love with life.  In a world that moves too fast and feels disconnected, we offer a powerful way for people to reconnect to themselves, to each other and our world.  Participants gain powerful tools for self-growth with the support of a nurturing, mindful community,” said cruise co-founder Valerie Silidker, founder/director of Inspired Life Workshops and Expand the Love. 

Music and movement are an enormous part of The Zen Cruise experience, and travelers will share inspirational experiences through yoga, workshops, ceremonies, guided meditations, and ecstatic dance, as well as sacred on-land excursions. In addition to Trevor Hall, musical guests of the 2016 journey include world-premier digital violinist Dixon's Violin; 12-woman galaxy of sound Beautiful Chorus; empress of hip-hop Soulflower Amn; and mantra-meets-mainstream New Age chantress Paloma Devi. 

Other guests include Yogic Arts™ founder and teacher-to-the-stars Duncan Wong; esteemed life coach and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Dorothy Firman; founder and director of The New York Center for Nonviolent Communication and member of the Communications Coordination Committee for the United Nations, Thom Bond; shamanic journey teacher and Dance of Liberation founder Parashakti; founder and producer of Club Divine, Chicago's conscious dance party, DJ Taz Rashid; and many more enchanting presenters and musical performances. Approximately two-dozen powerful presenters are anticipated.

In response to the sold out status of the 2015 cruise, several pre-sail events have been added to complement the 2016 voyage, beginning the weekend prior to launch and continuing through the week.  These include full-day intensives, The Zen Beach Party, the Presenter's Dinner and, of course, The Zen Gala: The Official Launch Party of The Zen Cruise.  Tickets to the intensives and The Zen Gala are open to the public and available with cruise purchase and/or are ticketed separately.

The Zen Cruise is dedicated to promoting a powerful, positive experience that reverberates throughout the community and world. Each year a portion of proceeds are donated to various charitable organizations, including an annual contribution to Trees, Water & People to offset the carbon footprint.
