We are an evolving global fractalian organism whose purpose is to remember and creatively merge the ancient sacred ways.
From our collective play and wisdom, we pratice concocting the most effective and easily accessible form of individual and Planetary medicine.
We chose to dance in a ritual way because such practice has yieled countless blessings in our lives. Some of us went from being heart broken to rediscovering the exquisite fragrance of Life. Some of us stumbled upon the dance and discovered a spiritual practice that we could create in our own foolish ways.
We cluster in ecletic communities and offer a place for people to heal, connect, pray and play. We provide superliscious space and music. You bring the rest - whoever you are and however you are that day. We welcome you in the heart of our spontaneous village.
We come from various backgrounds and initiations! We are Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Mothers, Fathers, Uncles and Aunts, retired entrepreneurs, healers, educators, artists, musicians, engineers, lawyers, doctors, indigo children, slackers, bliss bunnies, wannabe balerinas and Baryshnikovs and everything in between!
We believe that we are humanly wired and capable of transforming negative energies on the Planet in our intentional and focused engagement in medicine dance. Countless traditional cultures the World over have done it before us and still do it to this day. Some are still sustaining themselves through such form of community medicine since prehistoric times.
Given the crisis that our beloved World faces, it has become essential for us to seek rapid solutions to the complex needs that our civilization faces. The remaining wisdom and sacred ways of ancient traditions is here to inspire and guide us. The magic embedded in traditional music, nowadays rewoven in the most elaborate and engaging new fusions, has the ability to transport us beyond time, space and concepts.
Free from wordly concerns, yet carrying the aspiration of our entire World, we can journey deep within the collective intelligence of our Mother Earth. We can offer blessings to our beloved teachers, guides, animal totems, ancestors and future children, and dance to receive healing and visions - for ourselves and for the collective gathering of that wish will serve the survival of all Life on Earth.
It is common knowledge, if you have any exposure to culture, and well known in anthropological circles and the shamanic repertoire of ALL traditional cultures, that dance as ritual is one of the most effective and sustainable means of achieving higher states of consciousness.
In a playful and daring way, we access knowledge beyond the ordinary mind, healing from the collective boil of energy, release from industrial stress, and wonderous feelings of belonging to a larger organism than the self.
We all believe that healing should not be a luxury and that a spiritual practice devoid of dogma makes it very easy for a village to get along andn raise healthy children while craddling elders, parents and the youth in a constant initiatory fire.
We are birthing ourselves anew each and everytime we dance, leaping into evolutionary flights and fetching visions of totality. Upon our return, our humaness provides a warm welcome into the daily rythyms of our modern village life.

We are deadly serious but we don't take ourselves too seriously.

We are dreamers and creative alchemical doers.

We love Life.

And we dance to celebrate the glorious return of Heaven on Earth.
