Lora was born in Alberta into a family known to Performance Arts. Her father Howard, a partners figure skater, mother Marlene, a dancer, opera singer, & pianist, and paternal Grandmother Madame Zelema, a musician, public speaker, published author & globally used clairvoyant.

Later moving to Vancouver, Arnica began studying Eastern dance focusing on Egyptian Caberet Bellydance & Temple Dances and finding her own style in Tribal Fusion Bellydance.

African Drumming

~Granville Johnson~

The who, what and why of I…

I was born and raised in the mean yet musical streets of Chicago or Chi-town, the Blues City, as we natives of the hood would say, by a musical family of performers.

I am a World Beat musician. I play Djembe (African drum), Tongue Drum and other percussion instruments. I am not a traditional Djembe player. My heritage is African American/Canadian. Being a traveler and a life long artist, my music has become a symbiosis of my cultural roots and global exposure.

Though primarily self-taught, my musical mentors include the master drummmers: Albert St. Albert and Mandido Morris, who have become life-long friends and drum-brothers.

Djembe, the African Healing or Power Drum, and I met 35 years ago. Love at the first stroke of dynamic rhythm, would be an apt description of my music that has grown into its own unique identity.

The rhythm, the music, the song of the power drum, is spontaneous and thus improvisational, though musical themes are common and repeatable. The same song is never played exactly the same way twice.

The intricate polyrhythm builds in intensity and melodic complexity while resonating with that most basic human rhythm, the heartbeat.

Living in Love

~Sasha~Star~
~Alchemy of Love Holistic Services~

During Our LOVEvolution, We will Experience 'Loving Presence' as Who we Are: The Divine, the Power of Connection with our True Selves and each other, As We Are, Realized in the Fullness of our Moments. In this workshop, through Experiential Exercises, Meditation, Intention, Creative Exploration, Intuitive Expression, Gentle Witnessing, Self-Acknowledgment, Shadow Embracing and Genuine Support, We will Honor Our Strengths, Gifts to Share, Passions, Fears and Needs. We will have the Opportunity to Fully Embody Our Selves, Share through our Hearts from Our Infinite Source, and Experience Unconditional Acceptance and Love, and the Full Circle of Giving and Receiving. Tears of Healing, Tears of Realization and Tears of Joy are all Welcome Here, in this Sacred, Safe and Fun Space!

Sashie-Star's facilitation is fun, inspirational, educational, empowering and positively transformational! She guides us to trust and honor our selves, our bodies and our emotions...and most importantly, to set ourselves free to live from our hearts as our full potential! Her offerings are at the same time formed, and formless. Her sharings are intended to be like maps for us, and if we choose to pay attention to them, we embark and continue on the most sacred journey of all:

Our Journey Home, Our Journey Within Self...The Journey of Love.
