Alchemia Sundays: Cacao, Embodied Voice Breathwork, & Ecstatic Dance
Join us Sunday July 28th at 6pm at Alchemia Studios in Brooklyn.
Enter through Shops at the Loom
About the event
This 3-hour experience, begins with a cacao activation with ceremonial cacao from Costa Rica, followed by an ecstatic dance by Joey Greiner and Embodied Voice Breathwork®️ with Fern Olivia.
It combines guided breath holds, Gamma breath, visualization, and vocal toning with roots in Kundalini Yoga, Rebirthing Breathwork and Conscious Connected Breathwork. The practice involves connecting with one’s inner healer and exploring the depths of the psyche and vocal expression in a safe and sacred space, accompanied by live music and DJ dance set.
Vocal activation, brain rewiring and somatic exercises with movement as medicine support sustainable mind-heart coherence and a deep state of surrender to the present moment. Music and breath becomes a guide, fine tuning our inner ear to stimulate the pineal gland, releasing natural DMT from the brain and bringing us into a deep state of altered consciousness, safely and naturally.
