About the event
Join Somatic Alchemist Yael and DJ Maryzelle for a transformative night infused with Breathwork, Healing Elixirs, Movement, Dance, Self-Connection, and Pure Expression! Groove Alchemy is more than a gathering; it's a journey to tap into your Creative Energy and Activate the Heart. Shed the layers of stagnation and disconnection as we delve into the depths of pranayama and movement to liberate the body and spirit. We'll commence by forming a sacred circle, led by Yael, who will guide us through a potent kundalini pranayama practice to dislodge stuck energy. Then, we'll partake in a heart opening cacao ceremony, nourishing our inner selves as we move outwardly through dance and movement. Immerse yourself in somatic release, surrendering to the rhythm in open, free movement, accompanied by a live DJ set from the enchanting Sound Sorceress, DJ Maryzelle. Finally, we'll conclude our journey with a restorative gong bath and a reflective closing circle. In this celebration, we invite you to EXPRESS YA SELF HUNNY! Arrive adorned in your most vibrant and comfortable attire, embodying your joy in a riot of colors. DJ Maryzelle will craft a musical tapestry, blending global house, disco, cumbia, afrobeat, and more, guiding us through an uplifting sonic journey. Prepare to clear space in your body and mind, unlock your heart, and bask in the alchemy of your being!
