My Intention Poem for this dance:

What if I told you
We are exactly where we should be
And if it was supposed to be another way
It would be
All the resistance 
All the harmony
All the chaos
All the glory
We are here writing our collective story
From a purely objective perspective
Maybe we could see
There’s no actual separation of you & me
Particles dancing in this infinite sea
Of chaotic tranquility 
There is no right way to be
So you be you as you be
And I’ll be as I be
In all our perfectly imperfect glory
We are Wabi Sabi
Our cracks and our scars
Our struggles and pain
They contain 
So much beauty 
So let’s shake that booty
Like it’s our sacred duty
And while we’re at it 
Love ourself unconditionally
This is our permission slip
For authenticity
To be exactly
As we do be
Because we are truly
A unique frequency
That is necessary
That fits perfectly
In all this chaotic harmony

Unconditional - A Live Ecstatic Dance at the Asheville Movement Collective - 6.30.2023

Coalessence Dance {Live Set July 2023}

Invitation/Intention: Surrender

In the face of uncertainty, of transformation, of that which we cannot control comes the ultimate test- do we resist, or do we let go?
When we resist, the shadows come out, and the suffering comes in…
But when we accept, allow and embrace, we become open to the new paradigms of being that beckon us, we release our desires, and we find the flow, 
basking in the light of our liberation.

“There is no greater misfortune 
than wanting something for oneself.
Therefore he who knows 
that enough is enough 
will always have enough”
- Tao Te King, chapter 47

Special thanks to Purrriestess for the amount of love and support she provided in the making of this set. I wouldn't be doing it without her inspiration. Truly a wise and multidimensional muse.

Inside a temple the inner sanctum is a held space within the broader space. A room to hold energetic intention and sacred objects. In the body the inner sanctum is the heart, the center of love, the beating pulse of life itself. On this night, for this organic ritual, let the music be the pulsing heart of the communal body and let love be the law. An experiment in movement and soft edges.

Sanctum: Soft Medicine 7/28

An Ecstatic Wave with Big Heart and NO Medicine Music! 
lol.
This set is full of glittering trap, big bass, glitch, house beats and sprinkled with some truly fun and tasteful remixes of hip-hop, and club classics.  
This set is FUN! 
It really got people moving on Saturday morning at Medicina Campout, Tidewater Falls, OR!
This set was a and delight to curate, and I hope it sparks the same joy in YOU that it did for so many this weekend!

"spacious relating"

how can we relate [love] in a way that feels more free?
ecstatic dance is a perfect playground 
for cultivating relationships that feel increasingly spacious.

when does spaciousness feel like a “no” or a “yes?” 
…to a solo dance journey with Self or 
to a collaborative dance exploration with Other?

as we observe this dance of spacious relating
—within & without—
may we learn to respond, rather than react, 
from a mindful willful heartfelt vantage of sovereignty.

may we remain open, curious, response-able. 
may we be ambassadors of an environment for spacious relating 
that is safe, gracious, humble, respectful, authentic, and free—
always new, always now.

My second composed piece. December 2023
Written and performed by Sahaja La'Akea at (age 13)

Whispering Grace 2023

A big part of my journey has been centered around the music I share amongst friends and family. My inspiration started at a young age playing different instruments with my family. Such an intimate style of relating allowed us to connect in a more creative and harmonious way. The joy and sadness experienced within musical collaboration initiated my personal healing process, which eventually led me to live out my soul’s purpose of sharing these gifts with others.
