A GLIMPSE OF THE JOURNEY
Upon entering we are welcomed into a sacred space. Leave your shoes, inhibitions and ego at the door. Allow the music to help you unwind by sitting in silence, stretching, dancing wildly across the room or greeting old and new friends with your eyes and embrace. This is your time to get comfortable, release your mind from the world outside, and become harmonized with the ritual dance floor.
We begin our journey with a community circle connecting our energy as one with a grounding meditation, body rhythm games, group breath work and shaking our giggles out to bring us into presence with one another. Using movement, sound and dance we introduce ourselves to the group expressing our feelings and authentic selves without words. Shakti Bliss will share some basic guidelines to help co-create a safe, agreeable space for expansion and play.
Eventually we create two concentric circles to begin the puja ritual. Here we interact with different people in the group being guided though brief exercises to expand our awareness and open our hearts. The key to these exercises is soul gazing, or looking into another’s eyes with presence and acceptance. Some games may include breathing exercises, aura clearing, toning and chanting, partner yoga, energy play with our hands, guided visualizations, and sharing our deepest dreams and desires.
After each exercise we switch partners and play a new game with someone else. You may be facing a man or a woman (gender does not matter here) who perhaps is a total stranger or your best friend. Through the magic of synchronicity your puja partner is selection at random. Here we discover that we can begin open ourselves and be present with just about anyone. If you are ever uncomfortable participating in an exercise with someone, you have the option of creating space for yourself and jump back in when you are ready.
Then the music creeps in and we are launched into an ecstatic dance journey. We notice that our bodies move and groove with a new awareness of the space around us and within us. After experiencing the exercises in the puja we feel more grounded, elated, present, connected and ready to celebrate. Guided by the group energy we allow the music and beats to take us further on our journey. At times we are free to dance as we please and then are gently guided back into a group exercise or visualization. As the energy builds we gather this juice and focus it as a group with prayers for healing, transformation and awakening of our community, the planet and ourselves.
Our journey comes to a close as the music slows and we center our energy back into our body, heart and soul. Gentle stretching, conscious breathing, yoga, sighs of ecstasy and fluid movements help ground our awareness back into reality. Creating a human mandala we lay in silence and embody this new life force. We finish with a group sharing of our experience, reflections, gratitude and personal announcements. Finally we have a chance to mingle and chat and make connections with our new friends before carrying this experience back home, sharing this awakening with our friends and family outside this circle.
Most PUJAFUNK journeys are focused on a theme inspired by seasonal energies of the earth and cross quarter holidays (ex: a springtime ritual may play on what we want to birth in our life, or one around Thanksgiving may be a dance to honor our ancestors). Some highlights of the ritual include the Shiva/Shakti Dance Circle where we honor the divine feminine and masculine. Most potent is the Manifestation Station, calling a specific prayer or intention for the months to come by getting specific with what we REALLY want using the laws of attraction, the power of thought and positive thinking. Laughter, tears and new friendships are bound to happen along the way!
As your PUJAFUNK host, Avena creates a structure for the journey but listens to a deeper spiritual guidance by feeling into the group energy as on how to proceed. Every PUJAFUNK ritual is a bit different from the last, so expect the unexpected. Just be ready to let loose, be your funky self and set your soul free!
Help spread the PUJAFUNK movement by hosting an event in your area! PUJAFUNK is a great addition to your organized events, retreats, seminars and workshops as an opening or closing celebration. We also love to rock out PUJAFUNK at music festivals and performances. Anywhere there is conscious community that is ready to get funky in a sacred manner, there is a calling for PUJAFUNK…
