A 5 Day Immersion with
Kate Shela + Amber Ryan
All Night is a dedicated ceremonial dance container, a crucible of celebration and integration, a gathering to wish and to will. A time to fortify through our dance, our personal petitions of healing and intentionality. All Night creates space and time to empty and to receive. To welcome in the spirit of vision and imagination. To dream whilst awake and to allow the act of focused dance to be the animating bridge into the essence of hopeful action.
For 5 days we will welcome in the magiks of the desert and the night. Preparing for our All Night dance ceremony on our third day.
Over our time we will begin by creating the architecture that prepares us for our night dances. We will discover and discuss the moves towards safety, trust and intimacy. So that our mutual agreements will allow us to fully set sail and fly through the night into the morning. Each of us returning fully integrated with our quintessential shamanic prescription.
As we continue to emerge from the pandemic, it is ripe time to share this communal healing weave. All Night will enfold us between the worlds like a finely woven cloak. Offering healing, music, sound, silence, awe and restoration. We will find our night eyes in this numinous landscape and allow our knowledge to ignite like a constellation of stars.
In community we are witnessed, we are known in full spectrum. In community our personal and global dreams are amplified. In community we create new architectures and neural pathways that circulate love, sourced power and grounded being. In community we receive common sense and remember our communal fabric.
