SUMMARY:Rhythms of Renewal: Cacao ceremony\, Ecstatic Dance and Soundbath

Immerse yourself in the sacred rhythms of the universe through a harmonious blend of ancient practices and modern expressions. \nUnder 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. \nSurrender 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. \nFinally\, 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. \n🍫 Cacao Ceremony with Josii Yakecan (Brazil) \nExperience 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. \nJosii 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. \nLover of nature\, she seeks her greatest source of inspiration in it. \nJosii 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. \nJosii’s cacao ceremony is a deeply immersive experience\, beginning with a communal gathering in a sacred space where participants are welcomed with warmth and reverence. As the ceremonial-grade cacao is prepared and served\, Josii infuses the atmosphere with her soul-stirring live musical performance\, drawing inspiration from her multiverse artistry and the natural world. Her melodic prayers and sacred songs intertwine with the aroma of the cacao\, elevating the ceremony to a transcendent level of spiritual connection. Participants are invited to sip the cacao mindfully\, allowing its healing properties to open their hearts and minds. Guided by Josii’s ethereal melodies\, they embark on a journey of self-discovery\, delving into their emotions\, intentions\, and inner wisdom. Through meditative practices and shared reflections\, the ceremony fosters a sense of unity and healing within the group. As the ceremony draws to a close\, Josii’s music carries messages of gratitude and blessings\, leaving participants uplifted\, inspired\, and deeply connected to themselves and the world around them. \n💃 Ecstatic Dance with DJ Shamashka \nFeel 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. \nMasha 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. \nMasha also has studied music as medicine in Canada and in Peru and continues to offer sound circles and soundbaths as part of Project Mariri. \nEcstatic dance is a form of freeform movement and self-expression\, typically practiced in a group setting. Participants gather in a safe and supportive environment\, often in a dimly lit space with uplifting music. Unlike traditional dance forms\, ecstatic dance has no set choreography or structure\, allowing individuals to move freely and authentically according to their own inner rhythms and emotions. The focus is on connecting with the body\, letting go of inhibitions\, and expressing oneself without judgment. Ecstatic dance sessions often incorporate elements of meditation\, breathwork\, and guided movement to facilitate a deeper connection to oneself and the collective energy of the group. \n🎶 Soundbath by Project Mariri \nSurrender 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. \n​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. \n​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. \n​”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. \nA sound bath is a meditative experience where participants lie down and are immersed in sound vibrations created by various instruments such as crystal singing bowls\, gongs\, chimes\, and drums. The sounds are played in a way that promotes relaxation\, stress reduction\, and a sense of inner peace. Participants often close their eyes and focus on the sounds\, allowing them to enter a deep state of relaxation and heightened awareness. Sound baths are believed to have therapeutic effects on the body and mind\, promoting healing\, balance\, and harmony. \nhttps://www.projectmariri.com/

DESCRIPTION:“A New African String Theory” with Derek Gripper is not just a concert; it’s an immersive musical exploration that bridges continents and genres. As a globally renowned South African guitarist\, Gripper has rewritten the narrative of classical guitar by infusing it with the captivating sounds of the West African kora\, a 21 stringed harp. \nGripper’s transformative journey began with the release of “One Night on Earth\,” his translations of the music of kora virtuoso Toumani Diabaté. Celebrated classical guitarist John Williams said it seemed “absolutely impossible until I heard Derek Gripper do it\,” leading to collaborations with this icon of the guitar at London’s Shakespeare’s Globe\, as well as a collaboration with Toumani Diabaté at The Festival Acoustik in Bamako\, Mali. Even Gripper’s debut at the revered Carnegie Hall saw him performing alongside Mali’s Trio da Kali\, an endorsement of his revolutionary approach. \nRecent recordings like “A Year of Swimming\,” “Billy Goes to Durban\,” and his latest album with kora master Ballaké Sissoko\, introduce original compositions and improvisations\, each a testament to his dedication to evolving and challenging his musical style. Moreover\, his recordings of the solo works of J.S. Bach have been a fascinating study in the symbiosis of African music and early European melodies\, revealing the freedom and universality of one of Europe’s great improvising musicians. \n“A New African String Theory” captures the essence of the human experience in the importance of rediscovering ourselves through dialogue. \nSpecial note: The great Malian kora player Toumani passed away unexpectedly in July of 2024. To commemorate the passing of one of Africa’s great virtuosos\, Derek will perform the five compositions off Toumani’s debut album “Kaira” in a brand new\, never before performed\, rendition of these classics of the West African repertoire.
