Dancing Freedom with Samantha Sweetwater

WHAT DO WE DO???

Dancing Freedom is a Somatic, Ecstatic and Shamanic Journey into Embodied Awakening. We dance into the void to liberate SELF. We discover the perfect wisdom held within Body, Heart, Soul and Spirit. We feel the soul's blueprint. We liberate parts that have been disowned, repressed or otherwise silenced, that we may bring our true gifts to the Feast of Life. We live into the shape of the Peace that we are here to co-create in body, mind, family, community, culture, ecology and the infinite. Dancing into naked luminosity, connecting heaven and earth, we access FREEDOM - the truth, wisdom, power and brilliance unlocked through Self Love, Authentic Expression and Divine Connection.

DANCING FREEDOM IS AN ALCHEMICAL, EXPERIENTIAL ENTRY INTO TRUE ALIVENESS AND ENLIGHTENMENT.

Stillness and action co-create each other. The spiritual journey is a love dance in the space within and between. To be one, at peace, and at home, with the cosmic dance is to be free. Though we are already free, we forget. Dancing Freedom practices shine light into the cellular and multidimensional truth of wholeness. They invite us to journey with the infinite through the finite. We travel somatic, ecstatic and shamanic currents HOME. We arrive, again and again, in presence. We cultivate cellular/genetic wholeness, in every one of our multi-dimensional bodies. In being and becoming this freedom in time, space and experience, we come to know who we already are.

About your Hostess:

Samantha Sweetwater is the creatrix of Dancing Freedom and the PeaceBody School for Embodied Awakening. She is a sham-angelic Oneness Emissary, soul coach, priestess, peace educator, DJ and movement specialist. She uses embodied arts to co-generate the whole body/whole being/collective Planetary Matrix of Living Oneness. She has spent the last 15 years teaching, performing and doing healing work around the globe with individuals, couples, communities, and the Earth. She has worked in retreat centers, community centers, living rooms, and churches, at festivals, gatherings and schools, on beaches, streets and sacred mountains. She has spent much of the last two years spreading the work in Japan. Her passion lies in working deeply with individuals and communities to co-generate a culture of Oneness and Peace. This emmerges through the courage to embace what is and to take grounded steps towards health, wholeness and awakened heart. To this end, she has created the PeaceBody School as a modular curriculum for embodied psycho-spiritual education inclusive of dance, yoga, meditation, light work and soul empowerment. She is currently training Dancing Freedom Facilitators to do the global work LOCALLY(!) and bridging the work into new communities, including the corporate arena, universities, teen age girls, and cancer patients. In addition to this, she is working on a combined Masters/PhD with Wisdom University. www.dancingfreedom.com

Heart-Centered Yoga and Meditation with Aarona Pichinson

Join Aarona Pichinson for an energizing and balancing series of yoga classes inspired by the sacred union of opposites. Offered either at dusk or dawn, Solar & Lunar Flow Yoga will leave you feeling super charged yet totally restored as you delve deep into rhythmic breathing and unite the two sides of your body- both physically and energetically. With Solar Flow as a more vigorous Vinyasa and Lunar Flow as more mellow paced flow, both offer a juicy deep meditative practice where we will move from our essential core center emanating alignment, strength, focus and healing. Open to all levels! Private hands-on yoga sessions available for an additional fee. For more info on Aarona: www.YogaofNourishment.com.

Various Massage and Energy Treatments with Local Kalani Practitioners
Bodywork is a healthful way to indulge yourself at Kalani. We feel blessed to be able to offer a variety of massage, both therapeutic and classical, and aquatic bodywork in an inspiring environment. The practitioner uses different types of European strokes for a relaxing body/mind effect. The intensity of the massage—from light to medium to deep tissue—depends on your preference and needs. All strokes are beneficial to the nerves, blood vessels, lymph and connective tissue—and your spirit.

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi: Lomi Lomi aligns your body, mind and spirit. According to ancient Hawaiian healing traditions, pule (prayer) and ho'oponopono (forgiveness) accompany the bodywork for a truly holistic treatment. Lomilomi's long, rhythmic, integrating strokes soothe your muscles, tendons and soft tissue to increase circulation, while hot basaltic rocks and warm salt water enhance and nurture your energy.

Thai Massage: Thai massage is a form of bodywork practiced in Thailand for over 2500 years. It works on pressure points and energy lines as it gently but thoroughly stretches the entire body. It helps to maintain health, vitality and flexibility, as it balances the body's centers and moves you in yoga-like positions.

Aquatic Bodywork: Aquatic bodywork is performed in our skin-soothing warm water pool. Sessions consist of a series of stretches, rotations and compressions interlaced with periods of deep stillness.

Waterdance: During Waterdance (originally known as Wassertanzen) the practitioner gradually and gently takes you entirely underwater (with a nose clip). Free from gravity, you are moved and stretched, creating a sensation of timelessness and suspension.

Watsu®: Watsu (an abbreviation for water-shiatsu) is aquatic bodywork tiatsu massage. Abandon yourself to be cradled, swirled, and relaxed as the practitioner gently supports you and takes you through a series of insightful movements and stretches.

Other therapies available include: aromatherapy, craniosacral, foot reflexology, oil-less massage, sports massage, polarity, reiki, and shiatsu. Full descriptions are available at the Kalani reception desk. Bookings can be made upon arrival at Kalani.

It is the peak travel time and the holiday season so we highly suggest you make your travel reservations early. Due to flight arrival times we suggest you travel on December 27th and stay over in Hilo, Hawaii.

We have a group rate reserved at the Hilo Seaside hotel nearby the Hilo airport for December 27th and will be happy to pick you up at noon on December 28th from the Hotel. Kalani is a 45 minute drive from the airport in Hilo, or a 2.5 hour drive from the airport in Kona. We do provide shuttle service on December 28th and return service to the Hilo airport on January 4th. We also provide van transportation to all island excursions. If you wish to have your own rental car or need additional overnight accommodations, Dusti can assist you with that reservation.
