Secrets of the Jungle ~ Ecstatic Dance 2022

Ecstatic dance set played for Asheville Movement Collective Friday August 19, 2022. Set list will be added below soon. 

A drippy house pop world r&b dance journey infused with the intention - "Essence of Power"

Power- this word
Often misconstrued 
What does it mean?
What is its proper use?

Is power something
That you can own?
Can it be taken from you?
Is it something we loan?

There’s external power
Like ruling the land 
A king of the kingdom
Presiding over all man 

If our choice effects others
Does that make us powerful?
Should we wield our decisions  
To serve the weak and the small?

And then there’s internal power
We’ve felt it before 
Maybe we do now 
An inner authority 

Seated in the center
Of our highest self
A king of our kingdom 
That needs nothing else 

Whether inner or outer 
Power plays a part 
A dynamic dance 
On the stage of our heart

The true essence of power 
Is humble and strong
Like the lion of the season 
Serving all as the One

With great power comes
Great responsibility, they say,
And a good king would know
That there is but one way:

For it is not
the people who serve the king, 
But the king who serves the people
And in this way, lets freedom ring

The Fire and Its Light - Tribal House Mix

Here's to the divinely raw human experience of feeling our feelings. May we have the courage to feel it all, for the potential of emotion is devotion.

Enjoy the journey, love love love ❤️‍🔥

Galambok's Revival {eva X Jetson - Mashup by MIKAYA}

Ecstatic dance set prerecorded live played for the Asheville Movement Collective & Warren Wilson College on 4.14.23. The event was also a benefit for the Center for Conscious Living & Dying, an organization doing incredible service towards cultivating presence and respect for death by honoring and embracing the final seasons of life and providing proper end of life care ✨ 

The set is inspired by their mission, with a vision of cultivating consciousness and presence through the death portal, so expect a bit of a journey into the bardo. May we dance to cultivate a deeper awareness of our relationship with death and may we find that we celebrate life that much more and dance that much harder as a result <3

{Purrriestess} The Bardo ~ Ecstatic Dance Asheville 4.14.23

My invitation and intention for this dance encourages you to ask yourself these questions:
How can we better notice the incredible abundance that the plants and trees all around us provide? What can we learn from the brilliance of nature? 
How can plants and their medicines instruct us through their behavior? 
What direct transmissions can plant spirits convey to us through their nourishment, medicine, and entheogenic magic?

This special dance journey is a richly layered moving meditation that draws on the beauty, intricacy, and sentience of plant spirit medicine and how we as humans can learn, play, dance, and receive these gifts of abundance and wisdom.

Give Thanks to the Plants @ Coalessence Ecstatic Dance 6/17/18

This is an ecstatic dance set prepared for these crazy times we're living in.  Enjoy the magic carpet ride!!
