.: Synergy Ecstatic Dance : Chakaruna :.

Beauty in the paradoxes Gentle smiles and movements Cathartic releases and expressions All of infinity embodied in flow~ . This movement session will be a practice of deep listening through your senses, awakening dormant codes of somatic cognition and unfolding authentic expression. Breathing deeply and flowing freely~ Coming back Home within. . This dance floor will be a safe space to express your process to the outer worlds without needing words. If you desire to converse, please move your chat to the chill zone to the right of the dj in the venue and keep voices to a whisper.. or take a breather outside. Keep voices down when on the street outside. . All expressions are indeed welcome; please feel empowered to laugh, cry, scream and shout. This is a sober space, to embody your emotions fully without reliance on use of substance. Clear mind, centered hearts. . We are propagating a consent-based culture: please tune in with clear yeses and no's when engaging with others on the dancefloor. This is a judgement free zone. Here is a space to embody what's moving within you. No cameras or footage allowed. One of our team may take photos of the dj to share for their own profiles, yet this isn't a space for recording others in their movement journeys. This is a space of presence and acceptance of all that is. . This will be a space to move to the beat of your heart, the rhythm of the depths of your being, and the spaces in-between sounds. Your movement is your authentic art, waiting to be poured out onto the canvas of space and time. . =Schedule= 6.45 - Doors open, welcome to come early to settle into the space 7pm - Opening Circle & Body Activation 7.15-9.15pm Music with Chakaruna 9.15-9.45pm - Sound Bath with Kiyoshi 9.45pm - Closing Integration Circle 10-10.30pm - Integration mingle flow 10.45pm - Time to flow onwards & vacate the space =Music= ~Chakaruna~ Chakaruna has spent the last few years really fine tuning the art of taking others on a musical journey within by bridging the spirit and earthy realms. Offering a combination of organic and deep melodic house sets, she finds a lot of joy by mixing darker rhythms with ethereal soundscapes that allow those dancing to really tap into the beauty of duality. Creating experiences where one can dance with their shadow and as well as their light, transmuting our fears into love. A coming together to celebrate & remember the medicine we've been waiting for is found within ourselves and is always available to us.

Primarily self taught, he grew up playing sports and later became a drummer in rock bands. After a few years of playing drums, he began exploring other instruments such as guitar, bass, djembe and didgeridoo. While traveling the world, Koku bought a hang drum (Handpan) in Spain in 2017. From there, he traveled to over 20 countries busking with his handpan to make a living. For one year, he led a nomadic life playing music in various countries. In 2018, he came to Vancouver, Canada and was so impressed by the natural beauty that he decided to stay for a long period. The next step in his musical journey is to explore electronic and ambient music using synthesizers and sampled sounds from nature. Koku has produced over 100 videos of him playing music in various environments both in nature and in urban settings which can be seen on YouTube and Instagram. You can also hear his music on Bandcamp and Spotify. IG: @koku_music https://m.facebook.com/kokumusic1 =Spring Water= We will be providing fresh spring water from Lynn Valley.
