A journey into the body, where your wild self remembers. Hosted by Shamanic Practitioner & Ceremonialist, Christina Hladnik, and Ecstatic Dance Facilitator, Zig Tahir
Join us under the grounding energy of the Taurus New Moon for an evening of deep embodiment, instinctual awakening, and shamanic exploration.
This New Moon invites us to slow down, root into the body, and reconnect with the ancient intelligence that lives beneath the surface, the part of us that feels, senses, and knows without needing to think.
Through guided shamanic journeying and ecstatic dance, we will return to the body…and remember the animal spirit within.
Our Evening Flow
Opening Shamanic Journey Led by Christina Hladnik: Shamanic Practitioner & Ceremonialist:
We begin by dropping out of the mind and into the body, entering a guided shamanic journey to meet your animal spirit. Through this inward descent, you will be invited to connect with the wild, instinctual aspect of your being, the part of you that holds deep wisdom, protection, and truth.
This is a space to listen, receive, and reconnect with your natural essence… allowing your animal spirit to reveal itself and begin walking with you.
Embodiment Activation Guided by Zig Tahir: Ecstatic Dance DJ
With your animal spirit awakened, we begin to bring that energy into the body. Through intuitive movement and an earthy, rhythmic soundscape, Zig will guide you into deeper embodiment, inviting you to move as your instincts lead.
Let go of performance. Let go of structure....Allow your body to respond, to feel, to be moved.
Ecstatic Dance Journey Facilitated by Zig Tahir:
A free-form, primal dance wave. Move as your animal spirit calls, crawl, sway, stomp, expand, soften. This is a space to fully embody your wild self, to release what is no longer needed, and to express what lives within you without limitation.
Here, there is no right or wrong, only truth, movement, and presence.
Closing Circle Held by Christina Hladnik:
We gently return and ground together, honoring the connection you’ve made with your animal spirit and the wisdom it carries. This is a space for integration, reflection, and anchoring, allowing what was awakened to settle into the body.
Together, we close the space in gratitude, carrying this deeper connection with us beyond the evening.
Root into your body.
Trust your instincts.
Let your wild self lead.
