This can take participants beyond their sense of themselves and their abilities, and put them in touch with voice and a sound that is bigger and more powerful. The sound rises out of, and returns to, a deeper sense of silence.

HeartSong Healing Voice sharing will also be an earth healing ritual, invoking, channelling and focusing healing energy for the Earth and for all participants, as guided by Spirit - based in an exploration of Sound, Voice and music in an uplifting, embodied and exciting way. I have spent many years working with the sacred energies of the Earth and Nature in the Celtic lands, and more recently in Otaki Gorge in Kapiti, where I was living off grid - and I bring that awareness and energy into my sharings.

To awaken the dormant lying Kundalini energy within, you first must tune into the inner wisdom, then activate the breath as your guide, your body as your template and your mind as your hard drive. Your kundalini energy is your gateway to freedom, to sovereignty, to that still space inside, and most importantly to remembering who you are and why you are here. The psyche is purified, obstructions to love are removed and the truth is revealed.

Ecstatic Dance helps us break down the layers of self and come together as a tribe the way our ancestors have always done. By getting in touch with our roots and our bodies we are able to unlock the deep knowledge of the body and the heart and start to release control of the thinking mind.

When we step on the dance floor, we include our whole selves, even the frightened parts that want to hide. We dance through pain and sorrow. We dance with joy until our hard edges soften and our masks fall away.

We meet other courageous dancers, weaving unbreakable threads of connection. Our friendships transcend the boundaries of time and space. It all melts together–beat, movement, breath–into a swirling vortex we call community. As the throbbing pulse of the dance floor matches our own heartbeat, we know, without a doubt, we are not alone.

We welcome you to join us for this embodied experience.
