By purchasing a ticket and coming to the dance, you are not only having a deep releasing experience, nor only experiencing amazing musicians, nor just connecting with a community with open hearted people, but you are also investing money to relief a family in distress, and support the sustenance of such initiatives.

This series is a fundraiser where 50% of profit goes to support a Palestinian family living in Gaza.

Safaa ( meaning purity ) is a Palestinian single mother who is still in Northern Gaza, alongside her two kids Turki and Susu.

We have known Safaa for around three years prior the escalation, then the genocide started and still continues, so we have been supporting her to get food and clothes so she, Turki and susu can live.

AHAM doula, Rana, is in direct contact with Safaa and believes if each one of us adopt a family from there, we would be able to impact the lives of those innocent beings.

If you want to adopt a family, please get in touch with us

Our Host and musician:

For our third session we have Rana in an opening circle to ground in breath and soma to open the portal, then she will take us on an ecstatic soul movement journey, for all of us to connect with the depth of ourselves. We complete our ecstatic dance with a sound journey and meditation with Rana before dropping back into the physical space , observing the inner movements of energetic pulsations and currents. Bringing conscious awareness to the journey of life.
