Mose || Cacao Dance & Sound Healing

Ecstatic Dance Nevada City is please to host Mose on June 6th @ Miners Foundry. 

The community in Guatemala at Lake Atitilan is a sister community to Nevada City.  The relationship to movement as medicine is deeply rooted there.

This Tuesday is a melding of communities ~ many of us have migrated to Lake Atitilan and know the magic of the lake and the land and the fusion of Cacao and dance.  Neema Star will be offering Cacao and Bruna Bortolato will be leading us in an opening on the dance floor.

Mose is based in Guatemala where cacao ceremonies and ecstatic dance have had a major influence on his productions and DJ style. It is here that he founded regular cacao dances where members of the community have the opportunity to journey deep into dance while held in a ceremonial container, free of alcohol. 

Beyond the multicultural rhythms and the steady hypnotic beat, Mose weaves ephemeral chanting of sacred songs and calls to love, kindness and compassion, often bringing in live musicians to create something improvisational connected with that particular place and time. He creates with the intention to set a foundation for self discovery and the cultivation of a present minded state which offers new insights and deeper clarity in ones purpose.

When he is not touring the world or playing these special events in Guatemala, he spends his time going into extended periods of retreat and silence, only to emerge with a deeper, truer and more refined sound. He also supports other emerging artists through his record label Resueño with an intention to bring resonant souls together to create music that uplifts and inspires. The label transcends any particular cultural aesthetic and explores a universal vibration through weaving sounds and languages from around the world. It is also a vehicle for social causes as 50% of all label profits are donated to causes around the world to help those most in need.
