Dance the Transformation
WE ARE THE MEDICINE
Embodied-Dance-Prayer-Portal-Weekender for these Times-of-Transition
October 21-23, 2022
Genezareth Kirche, Neukölln Berlin
HOLY SHIFT: to dance with/through all the (inner/outer) transformations, to harness the Medicine of you/me/we, to embrace our humanity as well as our inherent divinity: in order to bring us closer to our unique offering of service to Life upon this Earth.
Holy Shift is an Embodied-Dance-Prayer-within-a-Prayer, a Celebration of Transformation & part of a larger Movement-towards-empowered-change: Using our bodies, our dances, our connection to the Earth & the Great Mystery to Welcome in all that is shifting/changing/transforming/shedding inside and outside of us…so that we can steward the Holy Shifts that Life is asking us to midwife: with aligned purpose, reverence & joy.
The invitation is to bring ALL of you to this Holy-Shift-Dance-floor-of-Life:
-
your tired & over-active mind
-
your flowing-free or stuck AF bones
-
all the shades & textures of grief
-
the weeds that long to be liberated so that your soul-garden can bloom
-
your deepest prayers & visions
-
the Great Mystery of your infinite and slippery soul…
Let’s move and include it all: with curiosity, reverence, compassion & the fiercest love possible from the depths of your human heart, and echoes of your infinite Soul.
In this Portal-Weekender we will use the ancient technologies and universal languages of Music, Dance, Ritual, Prayer, and Community to strengthen our connection to ourselves, to the Living Earth, to the Great Mystery, as we beckon forth the individual-collective medicines that wish to emerge through us, and into this greater collective-dance-floor-of-Planet-Earth.
“Embrace fearlessly, this burning world.”
Barry Lopez
Our dances will be supported by core-movement-resources from Open Floor Embodied-Dance-Practice, various Earth-based-rituals & plant-medicines (sacred cacao), and the emergent-intelligence of an unified-field: in support to our connection to the greater field of our living-interconnected-Earth.
We will resource our connection to body-earth-mystery by honoring the 4 G-spots of the Human heart–our Grief, Gratitude, Grit & Grace—with various rituals & embodied-containers as we dance & inquire upon these questions & more:
-
What if all we are shedding/transforming/letting go/allowing to die inside the processes of our individual lives is part of a greater tapestry of our collective-evolution? What if by properly honoring the cycle of death, we can more fully allow the life-force of the New to saturate our beings?
-
How can we reclaim our island of sanity in a world gone utterly mad? in this body, in this heart, in this soul? How does resilience live/dance/move through me/us?
-
How can we embody the greatest prayer and nourishing frequency of Gratitude?…for all that is: both our blessings and for our burdens?
-
How can we allow more of Mystery-Spirit-the-un-nameable to move through us? How can we re-claim this relationship, without a “middle-man”? Re-claim the communication of prayer? Re-matrix our connection to the divine, re-turning it to innocence, to grace, to aligned empowerment, in service to this Life?
-
Where are the bridges in my life that are asking to be tended to: from my heart, from my soul, into this world?
"I'm going to make everything around me beautiful. That will be my life." —Elsie de Wolfe

BERLIN MUSIC TEMPLE #2 HOLY SHIFT GERMINATION
Sunday, October 23rd 2022, 18:00-23:00h
Genezareth Kirche, Herrfurthplatz 14, 12049 Berlin Neukölln – Schillerkiez
After we have infused our collective-field with deep prayers, intentions, movement, we will OPEN our intimate field on Sunday evening to the GREATER Berlin Community: to raise and uplift our prayers & visions with Music, Voice, Dance & Togetherness…
This evening will be co-hosted with the Church of Interbeing & lovingly held by visionary sister Juli Fox, who initiated this Music Temple with Israeli Medicine singer Uria Tsur last summer: this portal of grace (through song, dance, prayer) is longing to be nourished and expanded!
The evening will be musically held by Amanda Encantada (Soul Singing Circle), Dana Muinãra (Gong Bath) and Holy Shift Embodied Dance Prayer with Alma ∞ Omega.
All participants of Holy Shift will have access to attend Music Temple (and are inherently important in initiating this collective field!)
Holy Shift is part of a global-emergent-Movement towards not only reclaiming our whole-humanity–in the face of fragmentation, polarization & separation–but evolving our global-stewardship to one of deeper intimacy to the Earth, while reclaiming our inherent Divinity & Source-connection: so we can surrender deeper to the collective-dance of divine chaos, collective-evolution, & embracing the unknown.
