A Night of Ecstatic Dance with Ecstatic Dance Charlotte

A Night of Ecstatic Dance with Ecstatic Dance Charlotte

Join us for a transformative evening where we honor the body and its divine expression through movement.

I am thrilled to announce my next collaboration with Ecstatic Dance Charlotte. As DJ Josh Paul, I am a passionate creator and curator of music that blends the spiritual with the sensorial. My musical journey is deeply rooted in the rhythms of Electronic Organic House and Afro House, where each beat and note is consciously chosen to enrich the soul and elevate the mind. By incorporating a diverse array of world instruments, I craft a sound that transcends ordinary listening experiences, inviting listeners into realms of profound emotional and spiritual exploration.

My approach to music balances the “feminine” and “masculine” energies, creating a harmonious sound landscape that nurtures healing and transformation. As a Sound Alchemist, I am dedicated to the art of mixing electronic and organic sounds to not just entertain, but to facilitate a journey of inner discovery and communal celebration. This musical alchemy is not just about hearing, but about feeling, connecting, and healing.

Beyond just playing music, I strive to create spaces where individuals can come together to experience freedom and joy through movement. My events are more than just dance floors; they are sanctuaries where you can let go of your inhibitions, dive into the depths of your emotions, and emerge refreshed and empowered. These gatherings are designed to be safe, inclusive, and open to all who seek to explore the transformative power of music.

As co-founder of ZenWithinAcademy, I am deeply involved in the local and broader conscious movement scene. My music is a fixture at ecstatic dance events, yoga sessions, and holistic workshops, where I aim to provide soundscapes that enhance mindfulness and body awareness.

Whether you’re dancing to release stress, to find joy, or to connect with others on a similar path, I invite you to join me in this musical journey. Let’s embrace the rhythm, feel the beat, and dance our way to wellness and spiritual awakening. Together, we can create moments of magic, healing, and unforgettable connection through the power of music.

Thresholds…Walking towards the Mountain Retreat

  • Highland Lake Cove Retreat Center (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Weaving the Golden Threads of Transformation

Embark on a Transformative Journey of Self-Discovery and Growth

In the video below, Lea Motlow of Golden-Threads and Katie Sutton of Zen Within Academy, share more about their upcoming retreat

Thresholds...Walking Towards the Mountain.

The format of this retreat will follow the vision quest model. The vision quest/fast has been a ceremonial rites of passage within tribal cultures for many thousands of years. It is a ceremony that assists one in intentionally leaving behind what no longer serves and stepping into the next stage of their life. Even if there is a lack of certainty around the next stage of life, the ceremony will assist you in walking towards your souls calling.

The Mountain is your SOUL…the vision quest process is the walk you follow.

During this 4 Day, 3 Night retreat Lea Motlow a Vision Quest Guide, who has navigated her own journey with the calling of the Apu's (mountains) of Peru, and cultivated a strong connection to Pachamama and the Angels; along with Katie and her gifts as a Healer using her connection to the Stone beings, Sound and Energy Medicine and Intuitive Channeling will create a strong container to support you as you let go of what no longer serves you, enabling you to walk towards a new life.

What do you want to let go of? What is calling you forward?

The Soul Quest

Prior to The Retreat: The Calling…Who AM I?

This will begin prior to arrival to the retreat. The moment you register you will be called into the sacred container that Lea and Katie have created. They will begin holding the space for you to discover more about yourself and what is calling you to this quest. Guidance will be provided leading up to the retreat to facilitate this process.

Part 1: The Severance….Letting it ALL Go!

You will be assisted in letting the old stories that no longer serve rise to the surface to be released. Katie and Lea will share teachings and processes to assist with this letting go and a death lodge ceremony will take place that evening including sound healing, earth medicine and channeled messages.

Part 2: The Threshold….Stepping into the Sacred World of Wilderness

During this day of the retreat we will perform a threshold ceremony on the land. Helping you to offer prayers and requests to spirit before crossing the threshold into your fasting ceremony. This will be solo time on the land to connect and process what is needed while receiving messages and information from spirit through your own unique connection. This will be a time for silent connection, prayer and contemplation.

Part 3: The Reincorporation….Returning to Your Life and Your People

We will feast and celebrate in sacred circle following the threshold ceremony. Additional teachings will be shared to assist you during your time out on the land and tools to use as you walk forward into your new life.

Part 4: The Giveaway…Living Your Life as Ceremony

During this ceremony you will be guiding in offering something, a sacred item you bring with you to the retreat, to someone else in attendance. This ceremony marks the end of the cycle you have completed and an activation of your brand new beginning and is a symbol of giving away your medicine without attachment.

Throughout the weekend Lea, Katie and Josh will be offering teachings, energy medicine, sound healing and channeled messages from spirit to support you in navigating the vision quest process. You will also be sharing in a sacred community with others on this journey, developing bonds and finding support on your Hero’s journey.
