Blindfold ecstatic dance with sound journey and art
An Integrative Ecstatic Dance
Join us for a blindfolded ecstatic dance followed by integration through sound and art.
This event will focus on the internal experience and somatic awareness. We will start off with a blindfolded embodiment exercise to prepare you for the dance portion of the event. Using blindfolds allows a space of dropping in deeper with the physical body and lessens internal judgment.
Casey, aka DJ Naturespeak, will provide the music to lead you on a dance journey of inner exploration. Andrea and Vortasia will be dance guides providing support to participants as needed. After the dance, Paul and Vortasia will lead a sound journey to assist with going even deeper within. The somatic awareness built up through the dance will be grounded and expanded through the frequencies that Paul and Vortasia provide.
Following the sound journey, Andrea will lead participants through an art integration exercise which allows participants to reflect on their experience and express it on paper.
Blindfolded movement has been an integral part of Casey’s healing journey. By going to a place where he is free to move without any internal or external judgment, he was able to bring those lessons into other dances and also bring that sense of freedom to his life.
Through grief and sadness, Paul began working with vibrational healing and seeing the powerful effects it has on his life. Sound and vibration allows Paul to continue to reclaim and heal himself, while also bringing that medicine forth to others.
Vortasia is an energy practitioner, sound healer and flow artist who is thrilled to combine her magic with Casey, Andrea, and Paul to provide a deep, integrative inner exploration of the body and soul.
Andrea finds art is an expressive outlet and passion. She understands that creative expression can be a reflection of our current state of being and can be transformative in different ways for each person. She will hold the container through guided breathwork and self-expression both as dance guide and integrative facilitator. She will offer a few artistic mediums and prompts for the integrative activity to allow participants to feel safe to reflect on their experience.
Full moon Breathwork and Sound Journey
Full Moon Breathwork and Sound Journey
Join us for an intimate gathering on the night of the full moon, in a private studio limited to only four participants. This event offers a deeply immersive experience, providing personalized attention, energy work, and support as needed.
Full moons are often considered powerful times for release and transformation. The moon has a tangible effect on the Earth, most notably seen in the way it influences ocean tides. Considering the human body is largely composed of water, it's believed by some that the moon can also affect human behaviors, emotions, and physical health. The full moon is thus seen as a time when emotions and energies are heightened, which can be harnessed to facilitate deeper emotional release and healing.
🌕 Begin with a guided breathwork session led by Vortasia, paired with music she specifically created to enhance your release. Let the full moon’s energy amplify your ability to let go, as stress, tension, and negative energies fade away. Paul will assist with clearing energy using a variety of instruments.
🌕 Transition seamlessly into a soothing sound bath by Paul and Vortasia, where resonant vibrations will envelop you, filling the space with peace, clarity, and integration.
This journey is designed to help you release what no longer serves you and receive the healing frequencies of sound and intention, under the magical light of the full moon.
Please do not eat for 2 hours prior to the event.
When: Monday, May 12th, 7-9pm
Location: Private Sound Studio - address will be given upon registration.
