Embodied Dance Ritual: Dancing with Desires, Sensing the Hungers
Melissae
Alma ∞ Omega
Throughout our lives, our needs, hungers and desires for various levels of contact and intimacy are CONSTANTLY changing--and yet--it is a living art-form to sense and feel what is authentic and true--in this moment--and to move in the direction of this ever-changing, ever-unfolding truth. In this embodied-dance-ritual we'll be looking at the 4 hungers for relational contact: the hunger for Solitude, for Contact (with 1 other person), for Belonging (to a Community or Group), and the hunger for Spirit...and we'll invite these hungers to MOVE, DANCE, take up SPACE, and harvest these insights for this greater dance-floor that is our Lives.

Nectarium
Aleksandra Maria Love & Maya Magdalena
Zaproszenie do głębszego poznania i zakochania się w swoim własnym ciele. Jaką masz relację ze swoim ciałem? Jak możesz się otworzyć na więcej czułego uwielbienia dla taksówki Twojego umysłu? Ciało widziane jako świątynia Twojej duszy nabiera innego znaczenia.W tej edycji wejdziemy, w tak czasami odległą, świadomą nagość. Powoli oswoimy się w byciu w swoim narodzinowym ubraniu w komforcie, w naturalności i osadzeniu w sobie. Wspólnie przejdziemy przez rytuał odwstydzania ciała - ściągania masek udawania przez ubiór - rozbierania się w tempie, które jest Twoje - odpuszczania warstw nieleżących już dobrze na Tobie - uwielbienia ciała - ukochania ciała.

Tantric Shabbat
& Sacred Singing Circle
Melissae

& Yehoo Shalem
Singing prayer and devotion together in a circle, nourishes and connects the community to a special frequency of holiness. You are invited to join us for the Shabbat ceremony, to receive into us the "Shekinah" the female element of the divine, to light candles, drink the wine and bless the bread. Shabbat ceremonies were practiced on the land of Poland, in the Jewish communities for 500 years, and it is a special privilege to return the sanctity of the Sabbath to the land of Poland, from which this ceremony disappeared after the war. The Sabbath that returns to the land of Poland closes a circle of peace, and creates a correction of the collective trauma of all of us. We will sing prayer songs from all cultures, East and West, ancient and new, joy and longing... and we will meet the divinity through our voice and melody. In the sacred sexuality community, we also sing the sanctity of the body and communal love, evoking memories of ancient sexual consecration ceremonies, and singing over and over... until we are all in sync, until we all touch the special transcendence of consecration together, in the tribe. You are invited to come and sing from the soul, you are invited to come and play music, and bring your unique soulful voice to the harmony of all of us. From the songs we will also dive into cuddling and touch and love.

Latihan: Moving in the Unknown
Nectarium
Albert Bitton
Moving in the unknown, surrendering to the mystery. Come into the journey blindfolded in a space of connection to self & others, and allow your body to move when IT wants to move. I learned this practice from my mentor and dear friend Laurie Handlers. I can say with all my heart that I never had such a profound experience of embodiment. And I am sharing this practice to share this powerful tool. out of Laurie Handlers Web site -“...But let me talk a little about how NOT moving in the unknown is one of the most costly, invisible limitations that sabotage our lives. Learning to move in the unknown is the OPPOSITE of being controlling. It’s the opposite of needing to be “Right”. Practicing moving in the unknown is the medicine for holding your body in knots and tension in your abdomen, anxiety in your chest, and clenching in your root. Have you ever experienced any of those things? Latihan is the practice of surrender in the most pleasurable way. It can be a daily, weekly, or monthly practice by your divine self or with a partner.“

20:00 - 22:30 WILD TRIBE RITUAL + CACAO - Michal Maayan Don & Albert Bitton - Melissae
We will go through a cosmic transition together, between dimensions, between the ordinary and the sacred, between the personal and the tribal, between separateness and connection. We will go through a journey of discovering the natural medicine capabilities of the tribe, we will go back in time to the ancient knowledge of tribal expression in movement, breathing, voice and music, and we will crack the ancient codes of the ability to live in a healthy way that channels all experiences in a daily way and tribal rituals that create resilience in the individual and in the community. In the tribes that lived close to nature, in a tribal connection where each person has a place and meaning, and within life powerful rituals of connection to the body of the tribe are interwoven, in music, prayer and rhythm, there was no need to heal the soul and personality because the rituals were a constant drain of emotion and trauma. The WILD TRIBE ceremony comes to connect us to the ancient and ancient knowledge of tribal medicine with joy and connectedness. In the ceremony we will activate the ancient codes of being able to create healing rituals from the ability to really see each other, and feel each other, really feel, really be together, and together create an ecstatic movement that brings us together with the powers of tribal medicine that are far beyond anything we have known so far. The secrets of the medicine of the tribes where the sexual intelligence is active, and teaches connectedness in a quality we have forgotten, this is a fascinating subject of investigation for me, and I am happy to bring this service to the tribe.

Our Wild Nature: Dance Ceremony
Melissae
Alma ∞ Omega
& Mattea Luna
We come together to honor all life. We give space to all the vast spectrum of our inner landscape and connect to that which surrounds us. We remember the wild and outcast parts inside of us and take refuge in the non-human realms of life that we are deeply interwoven with. How are we moving when we are allowing these forces to move through us? Can we make space to feel the grief of separation and the longing and hunger for life at once? Can we follow the humming of the Earth and surrender to her pulse? How is she dancing through us? This Dance Temple is a sweet blend of a guided dance journey, an ecstatic celebration, a humbling grief ceremony and deep prayer for all that lives and that wich came before us.
