Ecstatic Chakras

SoulCollage card I created for the Ecstatic Chakra Set 
I did something amazing....
it started out as an inspired idea...
and exploded from there. 

I asked DJ V (one of our local DJ's from Rhythm Sanctuary) if he wanted to collaborate  on a Charka Dance set. He said sure, lets give it a go. What started out as a project, turned into a chakra intensive for both of us. 

We both dove in; spending hundreds of hours layering songs, adding sound effects, elemental invocations, and animal totems for each chakra

As we journeyed deeper into the project, I started making a movie with my SoulCollage cards and photography. As the movie evolved, I needed to create new cards to tell the story arc for each chakra. I ended up creating 90 SoulCollage cards in 5 weeks - whew - that's alot! As I made these cards, I found myself moving through intense layers of light and shadow aspects of each chakra. This process was deeply integrative for me, and it was cool to hear a soundtrack emerge from the process! 

It was an honor to co-create Ecstatic Chakras with DJ V (Ed Villano). It was refreshing to collaborate with someone on a project, who was equally as vested and passionate about the project, communicated well and followed through on deliverables. We cultivated a friendship along the way... Ed even created his first SoulCollage card to honor the Divine DJ in him (his card was featured in the chakra movie :) 

DJ V and I debuted Ecstatic Chakras at Rhythm Sanctuary Oct 23, 2014 on the Full Moon. 
We then took the show on the road, offering it to the ecstatic dance community in Boulder, and opening a Shamanic Boom event in Fort Collins. We wrapped up our road show at Lumonics Light Gallery, with their impressive lit sculptures and laser lights integrated into the experience. 

Testimonials shared with us highlight how the music and imagery activated and evoked powerful embodied experiences for the dancers/audience. It was an honor to share this creation with the Front Range in Colorado. It re-ignited my passion for taking SoulCollage and Chakra Magic out into the world.

If you would like to dive into Chakra Medicine, I am offering a Chakra Alchemy program in 2015 which focuses on one chakra per month starting in February. Click Here for More Details.
