EMBRACE is an immersive experience to explore your connection to Self and Spirit through your natural awareness - your senses. Within this intentionally curated space, you will embark on a journey inwards to (re)awaken your sensory system, (re)vitalize its sensitivity, and (re)attune to communication within your energy-body. Gather amongst kindred souls for an evening to celebrate and FEEL what is ready to emerge into your life this season. EMBRACE includes Tribal TranscenDANCE™, Didgeridoo Sound Bath by Sean Pepers, Ceremonial Cacao from Hawai'i.
Tribal TranscenDANCE™ is an indigenous inspired dance ceremony that (re)connects us to spirit-based communication and healing wisdoms across cultures and timelines. Through the gateway of active breathwork and deliberate darkness, we enter the Dreaming; eyes covered in a bandana surrounded by Tribe, we dance.
Trance dancing dates back thousands of years and has been adapted to modern times as a space to explore and expand into the original states of consciousness through free movement just as our ancient ancestors once did. The indigenous wisdom is Movement is Medicine; and the practice of trance dance is held in an intentionally curated environment to fully support the dancer as they travel deeply inwards to find and unearth aspects of self/existence that rest beneath the surface of conscious awareness.
An interplay of four congruent components–Conscious Intention | Active Breathwork | Darkness | Free Movement to Sound–creates an unparalleled opportunity to let go of the tension and density which the Mind-Body-Heart-Spirit collects as a result of the modern human lifestyle. Surrendering to the darkness and tapping into your other senses is an act of courage and supports your trust of self and community. This release can be experienced fully, in a space of raw vulnerability without any filters or fear of judgement as no one is watching you. As the dancer, you hold the power to move and express in whatever way you wish as your whole BEing responds to the soundscape and your altered senses. It is a total immersion into the YOU dance of the present moment.
As the eclectic sounds of TranscenDANCE™ fall quiet and movement moves to stillness, you will transition to floor for a restful spirit-to-form integration guided by external vibrations of the earth-toned eucalyptus didgeridoo. The unique, primal tones of this Didgeridoo Sound Bath will support the continuation of your journey inward by enabling you to access the deeply meditative brainwave states of alpha and theta. It is within these brain waves states that the guidance and symbolism received from Spirit during TranscenDANCE™ can easefully settle into your body.
Hearing the rhythmic ‘lub-dub’ of the Medicine Drum’s voice, you will call all aspects of yourself back into your body and bring your awareness to the original rhythms of life – the heart beat and breath. Transitioning at your own pace, you will enter back into visual awareness to re-join Tribe around the Medicine Wheel in a Ceremonial Cacao circle. Your integration will continue to flow while sipping, first in sacred silence and then, within a free-form sharing circle. The immersion will wrap up with a Tribe (group) affirmation of Self-Love & Gratitude and releasing of the 7-Directions.
