Purchase tickets here.

To achieve the integration of Mind, Body, and Soul is to arrive at, or be within, the state of “flow.” Movement has always been how Donne Lewis taps into her spirit, to have peace, and its partner, euphoria. A tap dancer for the past 20 years, she has spent the last five years nurturing and developing her concept of barefoot percussive dance, using sand on wood (Sand Dancing). The incorporation of modern, contemporary and African movement came two years ago.

In Flow is her journey to the mastery of Reiki healing as she works to physically represent the symbols, to literally embody them, in order to simultaneously share with audiences both her artistry, rhythms, and the healing energy of Reiki.  The performance is designed to bring together all the parts of herself, Mind, Body, and Soul, for personal and group healing. She, along with  her collaborators, Artis Moon and Tamara Wellons, will represent each concept.

A bath of sound will be created to aurally stimulate the senses. The audience will be witness to a literal flight across the sand, and a gathering of light, air, and sonic vibrations, to arrive back in their bodies, awash in the experience of healing energy.

They invite you to come experience the magic of the Wychdokta with percussive sand dance, movement, and energy healing (Reiki), the meditative vibes of Artis Moon with anything from wooden flute and metallophone to crystal bowls and drums, and the scintillating vocals of Tamara Wellons.
