If you are willing to be an authentic expression of life, apart from a clear vision and a powerful intention, surrendering to whatever unfolds, is essential. 

Breath, music, movement, trance … are portals to an infinite source of inspiration and creativity. 

The void in darkness, is an ocean of ancient memories, and endless possibilities!
