Serpentine Flow

An Evening of Embodied Exploration

An evening where we come together to dive into our subtle body, allowing ourselves—through free-flow movement and dance—to transform, explore the potential of our embodied motions, and release preconceived notions. Through this surrender, we ignite the inner alchemical process of our being, embracing the vastness of possibilities that reside within us.
 

About the Flow

We will begin by tuning into our bodies through Kundalini breathwork and embodied visualization, preparing ourselves to enter a state of deep surrender to sound, music, and intuitive movement. Our bodies become vessels for expression, allowing the transmutational process to unfold naturally.

You are encouraged to listen deeply and embody the visions you experience throughout the sonic journey. Think of movement as a direct expression of feelings and energies beyond words—an exploration of self. Imagine yourself as a being of infinite potential, consciously inhabiting your human vessel and experimenting with all the ways your infinite essence can manifest into the physical realm through your own cosmic dance.

As we move together, we aim for a collective flow state. Whether our approach is internal or externally relational, we honor each other's journeys, seeing our gathering as a symbiotic, breathing organism—each part intricate and unique.

To close, we will integrate our journey with a meditative sound bath, followed by a closing circle, where we unite our forces and intentions.
 

About the Music

Our journey will be guided by an immersive and eclectic selection of world music rarities, tribal psychedelia, ambient, hypnotic/deep techno, psytrance, fourth world, and shamanic electronica. The venue is equipped with a surround Funktion-One sound system, ensuring a fully immersive sonic experience.

As lovers of the mystical portals that music unfolds and the refined sonic qualities we cherish, we are thrilled to embark on this journey with you—traversing the spectrum of sound, from ancient roots to futuristic expressions, connecting humans through states of collective ecstasy.

Christina Deva 

Christina Deva is a Greek vocal based musician and artist, interested in raw and unfiltered expression, and the power of  transformation through the voice. 

Throughout her life, aside from music, Christina had been a trainee teacher of Kundalini Yoga, a graduate of a bachelor degree in contemporary fine arts, and a danceopheliac, adopting an inquisitive approach towards all forms of embodied and voiced direct expression.

She views music and voice as a collaboration with collective consciousness, and forces beyond human, sentient beings of the many worlds interwoven with our current earthly existence. In the voice resides the history of humanity, the history of the soul from the endless beginning. Through multiple and intricate ways, the voice of the one becomes the voice of the many.

Through her music, Christina Deva aims to be a mirror of transpersonal metaphors that reflect the horrifying beauty of being alive.

Vocalising is perceived as a surrender of the human vessel, through which the spirits flow, morph and transmute, where gender dissolves, where age dissolves, where there is no distinction between the ugly and the beautiful, the darkness and the light.
