Have you ever felt like you needed to let it all go? Well, I did in 2020.
At the time, I wasn’t sure if I would walk away for good.
Now, I realize it was an initiation into a dark night of the soul.
My work as a DJ and facilitator has always been my soul’s work.
For over a decade, I felt deeply alive and grateful I got to answer my calling by providing a sacred space for us to find ourselves again and again, with deep embodied presence. I believe it is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.
I am now ready to bring back the practice of Inner Rhythm. This is more than a dance practice. It is medicine for the soul’s journey.
Together, we co-create a container that is safe to explore and embody the Mystery. As Dancing Mystics, we have the opportunity through embodied contemplation, and self surrender, to obtain unity with the absolute.
My time away from facilitating allowed me to focus on building and becoming co-owner of one of the most special places in Santa Cruz. My land partner and I created an off-grid private residence and retreat with an epic geodesic dome dance temple. We are surrounded by a cathedral of magnificent redwoods.
Will you come here and dance in the Mystery with me?
With reverence,
Hamid

…And a gift from Chase Iron Eyes:
“We’re all on a path of spiritual liberation… We have to remember, right now, in this time, that we all descend from indigenous peoples… We all descend from a way… Try to create a little bit of sacred space… it’s on us, it’s a personal responsibility for us to liberate our spirits… the universe is waiting for us…”
Inner Rhythm Workshop, Big Island, Hawaii
“If we could express ourselves fully and authentically, with total freedom, what would that look like? On the dance floor, and in the daily dance?”
