V E S S E L
VESSEL is a devotional dance journey grounded in intent, somatics and an inspired DJ Set. In this experience, we surrender all that is in our way - to the beat and to the dance, in order to reconnect with our innate rhythm and true self. To retrieve lost parts of ourselves in the trance of the dance so we may unify with all in order to remember our birthright of bliss and joy. To move into and through, all that is in the way of experiencing the joy of being alive, in this body, in this moment.
In this ritual healing, we leave nothing out - the mess, the confusion, the heartbreak, the controlling thoughts, all of it becomes fuel for the dance. Held by the beat, igniting our inner landscape of heart and soul to journey into a wide range of human experience through breath + movement + rhythm. To release the gripping of the ego and open into the space of healing through movement in direct connection to spirit. The journey into the vast realm of nothingness. To take the journey into trance. Union. Wholeness. To clear the path for direct access to imagination and possibility.

THE 360 MOVEMENT LAB
Currently on pause
Discover a perspective changing embodiment process designed to bring out
your optimal potential with somatic + sonic guide Samantha Lane.
Enter a 360 perspective housed in wholeness, sourced in seeing + and rooted in dance.
A curated crucible for the ever changing human.
Belonging ourselves in soul-full community and journeying through
the gateway of the body for prayer, healing, wholeness, and integration.
The weekly Movement Labs are fertile ground to be introduced to
The 360 Emergence mapping

We will open our 360 lens and co-create a healing container
for collective vision and life-force retrievals.
A body in motion helps us make sense of the world.
With every foot step, with every song, we can alter our world.
Connect to your body. Connect to your agency.
Connect to your community. Connect to the earth.
A 360 view creates embodied congruence and a pathway home.
