Shamans Dream Set from Lucidity Festival 2016 themed: 

"Shamans Dream of Liberation" 

The story follows a woman entering the dream world, learning important lessons, waking and enjoying her liberation as an empowered human being. Each dance that was performed is a lesson or vision of the dreamscape. 

Song 1) A woman, Jaguar Moon, enters the dream world, seeking guidance, her dream is a ceremony and she embodies her mythological powers in her dream as the feathered serpent. She honors the directions and asks for assistance from all spirits and beings that wish her well. The dance calls in the air element. 

Song 2) The lesson of following intuition and inner voice, encouraging the throat chakra to open, inviting in power, the power to speak with wisdom and compassion, with love and devotion. A calm in the knowing. 

Song 3)  The ability to see past illusion, cut through the lies embodying the earth element, lesson of being grounded and at peace.

Song4) Uniting heaven and earth, above and within, past, present, and future as one, loss of separation, allowing full presence in the now.

Song 5) The Guardian of the Universe that carries our prayers and offerings to heaven. Opening the door (Lifting the veil).

Song 6)  Going into the trance of the fire element, experiencing fire as the catalyst for creation and beauty. 

Song 7) Meeting a personal guide who carries jaguar medicine, assisting through the portal of transformation.

Song 8) Reaching the divine garden, arriving home, becoming one with the divine, seeing the divine within yourself

Song 9) Closing the dreamscape as the feathered serpent. Expressing gratitude and the prayer for liberation of all beings. 

Song 10) Having woke up from the dream, mythology a memory, dancing in gratitude and reverence to the liberation from all that no longer served, expressing beauty and joy in the opportunity to be a human being.
