Bloom! Right where You are Planted ~ Birth yourself from the prima materia.

Join AwBd creator Katie Holland for a sublime journey of remembering, self-resurrection, unification, emergence and embodiment.

This is for Souls who have an interest in plant medicine and sacred dance.

You, who wish to raise your vibration and are open to receiving the messages that the Blue Lotus holds for you.

We will meet online for five weeks and begin our sacred dances by drinking Blue Lotus (Nymphea Caerula) together.

Our dances are inspired by the five growth stages of the Blue Lotus, combined with the four prime alchemical stages; Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, Rubedo, then emerging in our beautiful blooming by dancing the 'Dance of Nefertum'.

Nefertum is the son of Ptah and Sekhmet. He is the God of the lotus blossom and is thought to have emerged from the primordial waters of Nun at the beginning of time. Nefertum is the God of healing, perfume, aromatherapy and beauty.

He is the potent flower that the God Ra holds and brings close to his nose.

The Sacred Dance

Awakened Bellydance is a multi-faceted, transformative, self-awakening, self-initiating, embodied inner process.

Surrender to the soothing whispers of the Blue Water Lily.

This is a time of remembering all that you forgot to remember.

For the souls who dare to dream something different for themselves and the world. Prepare to SHINE!

Mentioned in the Book of the Dead, this treasured flower was honoured by the ancient Egyptians for thousands of years to present day and is reputed to hold the highest vibration of any flower.

The lotus is known to have been an integral part of euphoric celebrations and rituals, both medicinally and recreationally for birthing, living and deathing.

You are invited to be part of a sacred alchemical cocoon. Initiate yourself through conscious movement supported by the sublime life force of the Blue Lotus.

Katie lives in Egypt. Her journey over the past two years has been deeply immersed in the Blue Lotus.

This has instigated powerful psychic insights, unlocking ancestral trauma, quantum memory recall, conscious lucid dreaming and astral travel and a spontaneous 'deathing - rebirthing' experience.
