Medicine Song and Dance

This night, surrounded by a spectrum of luminous colors, will be something very special. Do you know what the Northern Lights are? It’s when the sun emits strong rays, and when they meet the energetic body of the earth a mesmerizing dance of color amazes all who watch. On this night we invite you to capture light-ning. Come embody both the light giver and receiver, and play in the luminous space in between. This magic place will be created with laughter and joy, medicine music and song, dance and play, and the healing warmth of the sauna. ~ Before the concert, Anna “Tickle” Tukachinskaya, will get you to loosen up and shake it off with laughter yoga. ~ Masin Ouksel with his cosmic bandmates, Ultra, Stevenson, & Justin, will light up the night with songs of love, healing, celebration, and gratitude. They will guide you on a path to inner peace, and to some heartfelt dancing. Check out this interview and song sample from Masin for a past Medicine Concert. https://bit.ly/3CWzMuO ~ After the concert Dj Juicy J will weave a dance journey for the Ecstatic Dance.

Bios: - Masin Gabriel Ouksel "My mother gave me a guitar when I broke my leg in 7th grade. It was a very serious break requiring 2 surgeries, and inflicting psychological trauma to an active 11 year old. I was told I may not run again. Over the months of video games, depression, and sleeping on the couch, I began to form a relationship with the guitar. Ratchety and slow learning as I was, the steel strings' twangy sound and deep vibration spoke something my thoughts or words could not pronounce. I have never left its side since. With time I learned to see music as medicine. Medicine music comes from the source of our creation. We are reminded when we hear it of our true nature. A nonjudgmental message that's been spoken to us before, that we can hear whenever we choose to tap in. Medicine music is our birth song. Allow me to share my healing through sound with you, may the musical vibration bring each of us to its place of infinity." https://bit.ly/3CWzMuO - Ultra-Violet Archer is a singer, songwriter, and soundscapeist from Chicago working with music as a personal and societal medicine.
