Soul Poems, Original Songs & Dance for the Great Turning...
The Hero’s Journey means facing your fears, slaying a dragon, and gaining 25k followers on Instagram. But that’s not the real hero’s journey. In the real hero’s journey, the dragon slays YOU."
Leonard Cohen
...And that is the story Jaime shares through music and story. The concert ends with an interactive dance to put some wheel on the inspiration. The concert is available for communities and organisation who are motivated to live the Great Turning.
“It is difficult to get the news from poems
yet (hu)mans die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.”
William Carlos Williams

I'm sure you already had a lot of wonderful feedback but still wanted to let you know that we were deeply touched and amazed at the quality of your offering. Quality of the powerful heartfelt energy behind the words and music, quality of the poetry, sounds & rhythms, quality of the authenticity that radiates out of your being, quality of your professionalism combining poems, stories, music, collaboration, dance facilitation,...a cocktail of gifts you offer us, inspiring us to embody our best selves to be of service.I do hope there will be a next time soon!
By the way, it seems you've been doing that for a while. I guess all your past experiences have contributed to creating what you're able to offer now. It is splendid.
You being on stage doesn't come from a place of ego. It's not coming from the usual masculine energy wanting to prove something or succeed. I can feel you had to dig deep into your darkness and feminine energy, into this deeper knowing that this is what you have to do. Maybe it seemed to you like being vulnerable on stage, but it appeared as perfectly balanced energy of strength and surrender. Well done Jaime!
