There are no words to describe what transpired before, during and even after my Divine Forgiveness Workshop @ Electric Love Music Festival but let me try... 

When I applied to do a workshop last year (2016) - I immediately got that I was to do one on Forgiveness. I am not so naive to realize that this was what my soul required most and that I would likely go into a very deep dive into the topic. Wow, did I ever go down. It opened me up so deeply and I spent last / this winter and spring healing a very sick body, mind and literally had to pick up and re-member pieces of my soul back into wholeness. I shared my journey on my practitioner website here and the mix I did for the workshop last year is posted here. 

This year - I thought I was going to find a new theme to embody through dance and movement BUT again, I immediately got that I was rewriting the workshop and re-mixing a new audio-mix on the same subject: Forgiveness.

This year I layered in 3 different mixes. First I sampled and edited  vocal clips from Matt Kahn and his talk called "Essence of Forgiveness" and even got permission to use the samples in my mix! How cool is that? Yes! I uploaded the mp3 of the full talk HERE (it will be posted for a few more weeks) - feel free to download for easier listening on-the-go. You can watch his talk: Essence of Forgiveness on YouTube HERE or I have embedded it below. 

Then I mixed together all of the tracks that came to me these past few months, that matched the theme.

Then I layered over Tibetan singing healing bowls in the frequency of C (or see ;)). 

To learn more about Ho'oponopono - which we didn't have a lot of time to go into more deeply - watch my friend Christine Campbell explaining it HERE on YouTube 

I posted the download of the file above or you can listen on mixcloud- also posted above :) 

I was so touched by the people who showed up to their work on Forgiveness and it was an honour to be their guide through this process.

These songs supported me through a long and painful winter.
​They brought life to my limbs and love to my heart.

Keywords: Indie Dance, Deep House, House, Garage House, Electronica

​This mix was intuitively guided by the Spirit of The Eagle for a themed event on Self-Leadership. When I sense into Self-Leadership for myself I think of an animal like the Eagle. You might find a different animal to join you on this journey. Explore that and have fun with it. The songs are a mix of songs I was drawn to on YouTube and then mixed with Garage Band on my laptop. 

"All these energies [the 5Rhythms: flow, staccato, chaos, lyrical, stillness] come together in you. In your deepest center, you are the stillpoint. You are the rhythm beyond stillness, the feeling beyond compassion, the sexual energy beyond celibacy, the life force beyond death, the vibration beyond inspiration.The moving center is within you.” ~ Gabrielle Roth — Maps to Ecstasy

The Dance: 
 - Beginning with the singing bowls allows us to slow our movements into flow and also root into rooting. 
- Connecting with our heart-centre, the place of love and trust, we can begin to trust ourself to guide us on the dancing path and ask: how do I move at my core? 
- As we find ourselves rooting and flowing- we can begin to open like a flower
- Hearing the Eagle calls can give us a birds eye view and we can let ourselves fly 
- In the last song ask: How can I build a shrine for all things Self-leadership - how does this translate into movement?
 
How to use this mix

• Play or download (scroll down)
• Wear something that makes you feel good- could be yoga clothing or could be a flowing dress or skirt / wide legged pants
• Be ready to sweat or move in ways you haven’t in a long time or go at this slowly, be curious
• Wear your hair down if possible
• Play the mix on a sound system if possible (or headphones if you have a belt or arm band to hold your phone)

Today was the Women's March around the world. Some women / people have the freedom and privilege and health to march, some don't. Thank you to everyone who keeps fighting and praying for my right to be a female dj (and to feel  safe- which hasn't always been the case) - this is for all youz. 

This was my first time recording on the new DDJ SX2 controller - I have played and recorded my mixes on turntables (since the late 90's) - but I couldn't link this crazy new machine to my controller vinyls w/o a certain added pak- so here you go--- my first time recording on this cd controller, even though I have hardly played / practised on it.  This was my first take and didn't edit anything. 

I found it to be a lot of fun. I journey through Deep / Tech and Electro House, Breaks & Glitch Hop

I simply want to share the music. I always want to dance. 

XOXOXO

​Oh that felt so good!!! I just spent 4.5 hours dj'ing and made 2 "Best Of Electro House" mixes.

I think Electro House is so perfect for Halloween and this time of year. It can be fun but it's usually a little eery and sometimes quite heavy and dark. These are all my 5 Star tracks ranging from the years 2006 to 2016! Many of them floor fillers. Alas, I am an artist so they can't all be club tunes. Oo, so many goodies in here.

The first one is 120-125 bpm and is 1.4 hours, and the second one is 125-127 bpm and is 2.2 hours!!! I have at least one more to do, maybe 2 because who knew I had so many electro house tracks? PLUS, I bought 5 more new tracks today! I couldn't help it. This is like paint for artists, for me.

This doesn't include the 4 hours on Saturday organizing my serato crates.
​
I am so excited to mix more "Best Of" mixes and once I rinse out all this farty and fun Electro House, up next will be Indie Dance, then Nu Disco then Breaks baby! Then it will be a new year!

Mixed for: ELECTRIC LOVE FESTIVAL - The Forgiveness Dance - Conscious Dance & Deep Dives Playshop with Tammra Broughton aka dj sprouT @ The Zen Den

Often times facing someone we are upset with seems impossible and we tend to avoid the situation. 

Unfortunately, anger, fear, sadness, guilt or shame can get buried deep into the subconscious mind and without us knowing it consciously, it can weigh us down. What if you could not only liberate yourself but also liberate the other person through a forgiveness dance? 

What if you could safely explore saying what you want to say and letting it go and forgiving yourself and them at the same time? Imagine how much lighter your life could be dancing forward? 

The Forgiveness Dance is a place where you can dance your pain and sweat your prayers... and support healing for all generations.
