๐ฟ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฟCome and BE in the medicine of this land.
Come play.
Come sit.
Come dance.
Come and BE.
We have been waiting for the feel of the beat of the dancing feet.
The dances of joy and sorrow.
There is space for you, for us, for spirit.
Reunited in the old ways.
Ancient tales to sing those parts asleep, awake.
Harmonic soundscapes to bring us into rest and dreaming.
Be wrapped in the arms of a safe darkness, velvety and inviting.
Enlivening our vessels with Oxygen โ pure and true.
Cells awake and attuned to our hearts, bodies and souls.
As sound weaves her threads, inviting us in, inviting us out.

Home.
We feast and share the dreams we dare, the hurts we bare.
Brought back to the safety of our body, our home.
Fully embodied, grounded and expanded.
Have you heard the call?
The land is singing us well.
The land is singing us well.

This will be the fourth Ritual Trance Dance Camp collaboration and its second at Harmony Retreat [Meelon]. As many of you know l have been deeply immersed in care giving for my precious dad in Victoria for the last 12 months so this will be the only camp out for the year.
A unified collaboration from 5 skilled and connected facilitators, weaving a strong, safe container amplified by the land herself.
We meet at a place where permission has been given by the traditional caretakers of this area for healing rituals to be offered. This land sings, is vibrant and cared for.

With feet to the earth you are free to express, unburdened and with no need to filter how much or how little you choose to move. Allowing all parts of you to meet the layers of sound and vibration interacting with your body, mind, heart and spirit.
At the end you will rest on the earth, wrapped in a blanket [bring a large super cosy blanket or sleeping bag]. Attuning [earthing] your body, your heart and spirit to the earths resonance.
This is an ALL weather event.

Vegan and gluten free main meal [please inform Sohalia if any dietary issues/ allergies rather than preferences]
Story telling with the magical Melissa Min by a fire.
The ancient art of traditional oral storytelling is a powerful practice that can evoke a sense of deep interconnectedness and space for healing.
When we hear an ancient world story, folk tale, myth or legend that resonates with us, it can be an alchemical, transforming and empowering process.
After receiving the story we will enjoy a warm and heartening dessert before bed. Nourished and grounded back into our bodies, ready to enter our dream time to continue the journey begun.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Early rises can wander the land, meet the animals, take a cold plunge [please inform Sohalia, Carolyne or Michelle if you intend to take a dip].
8:30 am - we will share a delicious grounding breakfast.
10 am - We complete our time together with a soothing and harmonic sound healing session with Carolyne, Michelle and Troy [PLEASE BRING A YOGA MAT].
Immerse yourself in a journey of deep relaxation as you surrender to the expansive vibrations of crystal sound bowls, resonant gongs, melodious pan drums, medicine drums, and enchanting chimes. Allow these harmonious sounds to envelop you, bringing peace and tranquility to both body and mind.
This will bring your nervous system into a regulated and peaceful state, ready to return to the outside world. Our journey together will close with a sharing circle for integration.

Sohalia has always danced as a way to deepen her connection to self and grow. In the early 2000โs she discovered Conscious Dance practices such as 5 Rhythmโs, and Kundalini. But the blindfolded Ritual Trance Dance was like nothing else. A place to move with such freedom and a place to explore an expanded state of consciousness. Sohaliaโs passion led her to train with Wilbert Alix in Germany in 2007 before bringing this powerful and transformative modality to Adelaide and then Perth. Sohalia is the only trained facilitator practicing in Australia currently. She is a nurse, death doula, reflexologist and artist.
