a prayer for protection
for burning away of the unnecessary
for feeling
for moving
for transformation
for rising again.

we heal together
we rise together 
and we honor the descent.

Parasox | Live @ Envision 2024 - Ecstatic Yoga & Dance

"how to train a dragon" is inspired by the wood dragon Chinese/Lunar New Year energies.

the wood dragon is unique as far as dragons go, because wood represents the energy of spring/renewal/child-like newness. this wood dragon stomps, plays, dances their rainbow body into the through the world & beyond, discovering boundaries & wisdom through direct experience. the energy can be impulsive, clumsy, and destructive in a way that is not malevolent. the mother of wood is water, so self-reflection can support conscious self-possession/sovereignty/liberation for the benefit of all.

everything i learned about wood dragon energies, i learned from Gregory David Done of Tigers Play Astrology & Chinese Medicine. His blog post is a helpful read for navigating the energies at large in 2024 [link below]. 

"Wood Dragon is the moment of mind, clear perception, just before thought arises." ...what a beautiful sentiment to dance with; to return to an always-new moment where anything is possible.

http://www.tigersplayastrology.com/tigers-play/the-laughter-of-the-universe-qi-in-the-year-of-the-yang-wood-dragon-jia-chen-year-20244722#comments?fbclid=PAAabx8AGuwbmPZoghKXO30CB0uIZaLkcSLrA03xYgr2jQUIzJbj4hdVJ3bTE_aem_AdRK2TlRqxUGljQ5XxPMrXn6-OjTPa8feaT1azbSuJ04foWyuGiN2cwzxf-l1YBNwkM 

the following is paraphrased from Gregory David Done’s articulate skillful musings...

The Yáng Wood Dragon is called the “Laughing Dragon,” for Yáng Wood represents impulsivity, birth, youth, spontaneity, playfulness, innocence, flexibility, humility, gentleness, and creativity.  It is the baby dragon, hatching from the primordial egg.  

Yáng Wood is the energy of the chick breaking through the shell, the sprout bursting out of the seed.

The baby Dragon must break its shell to fly into space.  It flies to discover its own edges, its own limitations, its own boundaries. 

Dragon Qì is a paradox that cannot be defined other than to say it has unlimited creative potential.

Dragon Characters infinite potential is meaningless without a path. Above all, Dragons need training; and they must follow their own way and never be controlled. 

one of the greatest spiritual lessons we can learn this year is to just let go. And, laugh; laugh at everything because it is all absurd.

February RtR was one of the most challenging events I have ever hosted so far!

I had the intention to hold a space in honour of Black History Month and practice giving a bit of voice to the part of me that is disturbed by witnessing injustice and suppression. On the same night, there was another event happening, which resulted in very few people signing up for RtR to the point that I did consider cancelling the event. After sharing my concerns with my mentor and teacher, Bettina Rothe, I decided to keep the dance floor open, and show up for my practice, the practice of being a space holder no matter what… Many thanks to those who joined the dance floor and those who didn’t, that was a powerful resilient experience. 

The dance took place on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

RtR - Rings of Saturn - Ecstatic Dance Wave - February 22, 2024

I had the pleasure of providing this sonic journey for the first ever PACT event (Psychedelic Arts and Culture Trust) at The Chambers Project for this meaningful cause:

PACT hosted a benefit for the Wirikuta Preservation Project, an organization of the Wixáritari tribe of North Western Mexico, California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.

Among all ancient cultures there have been rich and complex rituals to balance between the need to survive and the reverence of the natural world that sustains us. Most of these cultures have been lost over time. One notable exception is the Wixarika people of Mexico. They are the last remaining pre-colonial culture that maintains a ritual use of the Peyote cactus. Their pieces of art work, called “nierikas” are created from visions that come to them during their ceremonies and are actually petitions to their deities. 

The traditional ways of the Wixarika are in danger as commericial interests slowly encroach on and destroy their sacred ancestral lands. Now more than ever, we need to preserve these ancient methods of restoring balance and harmony with nature.

Selling their cactus inspired artwork in order to save the land where this endangered cactus grows is an example of the cactus saving itself. 

Through The Chambers Project & PACT at this event, we were able to spread awareness and support for this potent cause. 

Check out the incredible artwork made by the Wirakuta: https://enterthepact.org/events/wirikuta-tribe-benefit/
