Join us for an extraordinary evening of spiritual rejuvenation as we embark on a transformative odyssey of self-discovery and renewal. Immerse yourself in the sacred rhythms of the universe through a harmonious blend of ancient practices and modern expressions.
Under the gentle guidance of nature's wisdom, we'll explore the profound healing properties of the cacao tree, unlocking the secrets of heart-opening medicine. With intentions and under beautiful guidance, you will be invited to partake in a mindfull cacao drinking ritual.
Surrender to the pulsating rhythms of ecstatic music, as they intertwine with the innate beats of your own body, leading you to a state of blissful alignment and free movement.
Finally, allow yourself to drift into the soothing embrace of a transcendent soundbath, where each note reverberates through your being, inviting you to sink deeper into the rhythm of your heart.
CACAO CEREMONY with JOSII YAKECAN (Brazil)
Experience the profound wisdom of cacao as Josii, a multiverse artist and seasoned guide, leads us
through a heart-opening cacao ceremony. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Josii's medicine music resonates with the soul, empowering us to heal and awaken through the power of sound and voice.
Josii Yakecan is a wild seed from Brazil, singer and composer of medicine music, explorer of voice and sounds. She expresses her vision and experiences through music, in rituals and ceremonies.
Lover of nature, she seeks her greatest source of inspiration in it.
Josii became known worldwide for her song Jurema Oh Jurema which has been a powerful song in the world of Healing Music and the growing spiritual movement for almost 10 years now. Josii's music has taken her around the world with her performances and ceremonies that provide a sacred, intimate and heart-warming space for all in attendance. This artist sings the song of the spirit and embodies the stories she tells, expressing music that reverberates deep within the heart, wisdom and soul. To experience the essence of this stunning singer is to be taken on a musical journey that takes us back to the core of our own inner existence.
EXTATIC DANCE with DJ SHAMASHKA
Feel the pulse of the earth beneath your feet as DJ Shamashka takes us on a musical journey infused with the sounds of native instruments and the whispers of nature. Masha Andreeva, AKA DJ Shamashka, is one of the organizers behind Anahata Open Air Festival ( www.anahata.ca) and her sets are crafted as prayers for the heart to open and for healing to flow, inviting us to dance with abandon and reconnect with the essence of our being.
Masha is a certified yoga instructor, facilitator of shamanic ceremonies and retreats and a passionate mindfulness propagator. She if currently finishing her diploma in art theraoy and undergoing registration as a registered psychotherapist.
Masha also has studied music as medicine in Canada and in Peru and continues to offer sound circles and soundbaths as part of Project Mariri.
SOUNDBATH with PROJECT MARIRI
Surrender to the healing vibrations of sound as Project Mariri envelops you in a cocoon of sonic bliss. Project Mariri is a collaboration between Mariya Garnet and Masha Andreeeva based on their longstanding dedication to using music as medicine.
Their experience with traditional healing modalities of South and North America and Eurasia informs their shared values that nature is sacred and that we are all interconnected in the web of life on Mother Earth.
Masha and Mariya are integrating years of traditional apprenticeship with formal western education in psychology and psychotherapy to create safe space filled with healing sounds for groups and individuals to journey through soundscapes.
"Mariri" means Force of Nature/Forest for Indigenous people of the Amazon. We feel that the name strongly relates to our belief that nature is sacred and we are part of it. "Mariri" is also a tribute to our plant medicine work.
This event will be one of kind, not to be missed!
