Dance Medicine Family!
It's that special time again for Sunday Dance Church. Let's move our bodies in ceremonial celebration to bless up the earth, as we ARE She. Earth Day blessings, family!
Join us on Sunday, April 21st as we move our bodies at the Lithuanian Music Hall!
We are blessed to welcome Joy Okoye to the stage �
.•* Joy Okoye (aka Shakti Mama) singer/songwriter and experimental and ceremonial vocalist After a spiritual awakening, Joy began to channel unique sound frequencies and messages of hope, revelation, and mystery. Joy now bridges sacred, therapeutic and artistic spaces with her voice, working as a sound healer who travels and facilitates transformative experiences and events with her unique vocalizations. She is currently in the studio working on an EP to be released later this year.
Joy Okoye explores world and crossover music blending psychedelic, last century, remix top-40, ethereal, modern classical & EDM mix, multi-cultural tribal, ancient-future bass, and is known to infuse the space with her unique improv vocals while creating sacred dance journeys to offer a sonic space for healing, free-form and authentic expression.
