JOAN FOREST MAGE

LIFE FORCE ENSEMBLE
Dance your way to the spirit realm, on a healing journey with Life Force Ensemble World Music band. From the driving rhythms of drums to mystical melodies of guitar, flute and vocals, these musicians delight, move and heal us as they interact improvisationally with our singing and body movement. Contemporary shaman Joan Forest Mage "drums the chakras" of each participant, then guides us in physical and vocal exercises to make the energy flow and create deep connection to Spirit. Discover the power of free-form, self-expressive singing and dancing for energy healing.
Experience a powerful healing ritual as Contemporary Shaman Joan Forest Mage cleanses the chakras (energy centers) of each participant through singing and drumming. Strengthen your own energy field through learning vocal toning, the body’s natural way of physical, emotional and spiritual regeneration. Discover sound as a extraordinary tool for healing, grounding, removing energetic blockages and connecting with spirit guides. No experience necessary. This is not a drum circle, you do not have to bring a drum.
