People begin to trickle in from the door behind me framed with white curtains. We form circles out from the center. Nina, One who facilitates Dream Dance, sits on her knees in the center. She is acknowledging every one in the room; every one. She invites us to do the same. Smiling, and taking deep breaths, she speaks; introducing what it is we are creating together. As she lifts the clear crackle glass bowl holding a candle to her heart, she invites us to breathe and tone with one another. This candle represents our light as a collective whole, and the magic in that light. We meditate. My consciousness in that moment, is the flame, and around it.
The music begins and the circles begin to disperse. The dancing, being, socializing has begun. The lay out looks like this. To one side, stairs leading to Evergreen College students serving tea to guests sitting on tasseled pillows of all colors. Next to them, the visual director throwing scenes of blue water waves reflecting one another as they crash on to each others shore. Next to them in a clockwise flow is the musical artists, spreading their love through tones and vibrations. A man further right painting from the heart. A two faced being, moving in the spectrum of blue, red, and green light. And to the right of that, the Alter. You do as you wish here. There is paper to write your dreams on, your aspirations, your wishes. You attach the circular paper you just wrote on, with it's curved wire hook, in the webbed dream catcher.. allow the Universe to take care of the rest. Dreams do come true. Oh! And the Squish Lounge, a plethora of pillows brought and placed in clusters of size and purpose by the members of Mercury's Outpost. Chocolates top off the circle, 2 for $3 special. And special they were. A variety of flavors. I tried the orange one.
And in the center, ones dance. They sing, and crawl around as animals on the floor; we stretch and fly in the air with the support of our own. Acroyoga all around, I hear it's the best stretch. People sprawled on the pillows and bean bags enjoying the sight of people enjoying themselves. Here, ones are to be free. Express Self in any form. Own your Self!
If you would like to dance your dreams into reality with us, please! You are invited!
Earlier that day Danielle, Tesla, Steven, Abby my dog and I drove an hour or so North to Bellingham, Washington. We were meeting Louisa to pick the yurt and platform for The Sonosphere; her father and her designed and built it together, I understand why she wanted us to see how to properly assemble and disassemble each piece.
It was pouring rain this time. We drove up a muddy road to a cabin in the rainforest. A black school bus is to my right stashed away in the leaves of the trees. Pulling up a few more feet we reach the cabin, 'it's always a beautiful day in the rainforest,' remarked Andrew, Louisa's friend, as we got out of Danielle's car and headed step by step to the wooden abode. The porch is decked with multicolored LED lights and wind chimes, each making a different song in a different tone. Inside, through the turquoise door, the room filled my being in celestial fullness, engulfing. Trinkets, holding divine resonant magic, line the walls on ledges made of wood; needles and thread and all the fabric you could imagine, in all the colors of this multifaceted reality we play and dream in, are scattered among the tables. Colored pencils and paper mark a moment for all to see. Colors and concepts coming to life in her design. Truly a creative space.
Louisa, is a wizard, a master of her art. Imaginative and playful, sees the world in the most spectacular way. The colors and the lines, the stitches and the textures; they fit so beautifully together; perfectly, would be a adjective. I find it so clever, the world she is creating, the visions coming to life with the willingness of others to bring this imagination to fruition; models, mannequins dressed up in this play.
She is the conductor of LUN Clothing. Interstellar faeries, multidimensional elves and conscious earth inhabited beings inspired the imagination to run with them, even fly with them. She indulges in custom coat, headdress, and wedding designs that are out of this world.
Check out some of her stuff! As soon as I saw one in person, I decided it's something worth saving up for.
