Ritual Trance Dance ∞ Marianne

« Trance Dance is a unique blend of body movement, healing sounds, dynamic percussive rhythms, transformational breathing techniques and the innovative use of a blindfold - together stimulating a 'trance' state that promotes spiritual awakenings, mental clarity, physical stamina and emotional well-being. Driven by unique musical soundtracks recorded specifically for this method of healing, Trance Dance takes participants on an 'inner journey' not limited to our normal perceptions of space/time. Ritual trance journeys have been a vital part of shamanic and eastern dance cultures for thousands of years. Our contemporary approach to Trance Dance brings together the richness of these ancient rituals with some startlingly effective modern techniques. “

Wilbert Alix, co-creator of the Ritual Trance Dance by whom Marianne was trained.

Ritual Trance Dance is a journey within yourself where your soul expresses its highest intentions through your body. With an inspired blend of tribal rhythms, intention, breathwork and intuitive movements with your eyes covered, you will be transported to a world of daydreams, where a powerful journey of discovery begins!

Being in a trance state allows us to access our subconscious, our deepest self and let it express.
It is a powerful experience that opens a space for healing, manifestation, visions can appear, answers may become clear, emotions emerge... Each session is unique to each one, discover what your soul wants to reveal to you.

Kali Moon ∞ New Moon Sound Ceremony by Rafaelle McKay

Held monthly, these gatherings invite you to explore your inner gardens through breath, toning, voice activation, somatic movement, journaling, and drawing. Each session follows the theme of the New Moon, creating a space to reflect, release, and set intentions for the lunar cycle ahead.

Why Kali Moon? In Hindu tradition, Kali Ma is honored as a goddess of death and rebirth, guiding us to release what no longer serves and return to the truth of our hearts.

The New Moon is a time of rebirth — a sacred moment of darkness, renewal, and fresh beginnings. Each cycle encourages us to pause, look inward, and plant seeds for growth and transformation. Each month will have its specific themes and sound journey depending on the new moon we are in.

October 21 ∞ Air ∞ Libra

Libra & AIR element invite us to reflect on the ways that are balanced and unbalanced in our inner landscapes. The ways we can shift perspective and nourish the change of seasons. This is a sound ceremony lead by Rafaelle Mackay. Where she will lead us through a meditative sound journey with her newest sound project, creating a hybrid sound bath with bioacoustics sounds, vocal loops, original meditative soundtracks with live vocals and soft bowls to accompany your inner sound voyage..

Facilitator:

Rafaelle Mackay has been hosting Kali Moon Sound Ceremonies for over a decade, drawing from her studies in Hindustani classical voice in India, therapeutic singing in palliative care, embodied rituals and meditation training.

Her work blends breath, voice, yoga nidra, mindful meditation, sound baths, and live musical journeys.

With Plein Soleil, she now weaves a hybrid sound experience — layering original music, bioacoustics, live looping, and instruments like crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, and gongs.
