DJ | Facilitator Jeannie AdairIntention: Intention: Sacred Ground Rising
When the world grows loudwith its arguments about itself,
there is sacred
ground beneath our feet.Older than headlines.
Wiser than certainty.
Amidst the mind’s swirl,we lower into our center,
feeling what holds us,
letting her take our weight.
And descend—into hips,
into rhythm,
into the red patience of the earth.
Rooting down deep,
as she rises through us.About Jeannie Adair

Kristikka (Kris Hostikka) loves creating a sacred container that takes you on an inward journey utilizing rhythm to move us from quiet embodiment to chaos and down into stillness and integration.
