TRANCE DANCE Journey with Cacao
Live DJ - Lioness, and Ceremonial Sound
Step beyond the senses and into the sacred.
Join Natasha Mason for a powerful, immersive Trance Dance - a blindfolded journey guided by sound, breath, rhythm, and the deep wisdom of your inner world. This is dance as ceremony, a soulful invitation to move beyond the mind and awaken what lives beneath the surface.
We begin with a gentle cacao blessing, a heart-opening ritual to ground and connect. From there, the blindfold becomes your portal—shifting your focus inward as we drop into a curated soundscape of ceremonial tones, primal beats, and atmospheric textures. No mirrors. No distractions. Just you, your breath, and your body in motion.
Why blindfolded?
When we close our eyes to the outside world, we open the door to deeper presence, inner vision, and untamed movement. It’s a chance to dance not from performance, but from pure instinct. No steps. No rules. Just the freedom to feel, release, and transform.
This is an intimate, held space—designed for deep listening, self-liberation, and embodied ritual.
