EVENT DESCRIPTION.

MEN'S & WOMEN'S CIRCLES.

"When a burden is shared a burden is halved"

Mens & womens circles are a powerful & fundamental need for humans that Magik Inc. has chosen to make this part of your experience free. Those participants that only want to partake in mens &  experience & not the rest of the event are most welcome & encouraged to participate at no cost. 

If you haven’t experienced a Men’s or Women’s Circle it might sound unusual & you’d be right. What a circle is; is a chance for people to come together as equals & share some of the things that are going on in their life with a commitment to privacy & confidentiality. It’s not to seek answers or advice but to just be heard. Sometimes the answers we seek will be discovered by ourselves just by our words being witnessed. One person shares at a time, & sometimes we don’t actually even need to share. To witness that others are going through the same trials & tribulations gives us a strong sense of connection & ease with what we ourselves are going through. When we feel that we are not alone on our journeys & in our experiences we feel a strong sense of belonging & connection.

CACAO CEREMONY.

“The water that runs through our heart, founded in the roots of our earth”.

Cacao is a bitter medicinal drink & it is known to be the “Medicine for our Heart '' The aim of our gatherings at Magik Inc. no matter what form it takes is always connection, connection to each other & most of all connection to one’s self. The Ceremonial Cacao we work with is organic & ethically farmed in Peru. Cacao, when laid forth after sitting in a sharing circle, supports us to work with more subtle levels of connection to our Mindbody relationship. Cacao when resting on clear intentions opens our body to digest, integrate, heal & transform what has come into our awareness through our sharing circle. 

SOUND.

“In the beginning there was sound. Sound began the whole thing &  in sound resides tremendous power. It opens doorways to other realities”

Music is consumed in so many different interesting ways by humans, but what has become more common is personal stereos. EarPods or headphones cater for our ears. But what about the rest of our bodies? Why do we feel different when we go to a concert as opposed to when we listen with our earbuds at a bus stop. They say our body contains around 60% water. Our whole body is an instrument that absorbs & resonates the sounds sent out to us. Our whole body is the receiver, not just our ears. When we hear somebody crying or someone singing those emotions ride the sonic waves & our whole body receives them. Every other participant is therefore also a speaker resonating for you their energy and emotion. Every experience will be a unique journey. Magik Inc. Is committed to offering an experience with detailed selections & offerings to support us throughout the night to engage & hold us & bind us in a way that we travel through together. 

DANCE.

“When you dance with your heart your body will follow from a place that remains unbroken within”.

Magik is not about the perfect move or trying to look a certain way in our body through dance but is a space where we explore & be curious about our body, how it moves or how it doesn't. When we move our physical body with a mind that is open, fluid & sensitive & a clear intention we have potential to see our energetic, emotional & metal patterns, what is working for us & what is not.

FACILITATORS

Te-Awa Taputoro. A Trauma Applied Yoga Therapist & personal trainer having owned & operated her own gymnasium, women's wellbeing is her passion. Te-Awa stepped out of the “fitness world” seeking a deeper connection to her own body as a woman & HoloSoma was born. HoloSoma is an influential movement for women founded on body-based practices working with our physical, emotional and mental body. Through breath, physical movement & self-inquiry practices anchored in observing one's eating patterns we tap into our individual and collective story of who we are. HoloSoma is “Women's Empowerment through Embodiment”.

Frederick-James Koch. A background in martial arts, dance & music performance. Freddie formally trained in Acting at the Actors Centre Australia & further at AFTRS (the Australian Film Television & Radio School) in Writing & Directing. Peace of Red embodies the ideology of being peaceful in our passion, the practice born out of love for movement & expression that helps us be comfortable with our motivations & our authentic nature. Animal Embodiment is a modality that he further developed after Actor training, seeing the potential to widen our sometimes self limiting human form of expression.

WHAT TO WEAR & WHAT TO BRING.

• Wear whatever supports you to be the most expressive version of yourself in this space. We will be sitting for an amount of time in a circle & we will be in movement/dance. 
• Personal journal & pen.
• Water or tea to nourish yourself during ceremony & dance. 
• Most of all bring a heart wanting to feel & a mind resting in curiosity.

Through Magik we celebrate our unique story & feel a common thread. We are all woven into an integral tapestry of life, our earth & each other, if we can step from this space we honor our humanity, our earth, our life.
