30th July – 4th August

Resonance

2024, year of the Wood Dragon, was upon us and plans were afoot, with three good souls steering the ship – Georgia, George and Duncan. The theme was Resonance. 

We all know Wasinga is a place where we fit, where we feel comfortable, where we swim in a sea of familiarity, where we’ve been challenged and where we’ve grown, and can celebrate our unique Resonance. But maybe we’re all a bit too used to “how it is”. The world is changing, we are changing – maybe It’s time to shake the tree a little?

The love of Wasinga was strong, with a will to rekindle the sparks from the last 12 years and ignite a new initiation of the Wasinga tribe. Reaching out to all Wasingi, the frequencies were amplified, with new sounds added to the composition, and old melodies remixed!

Resonance occurs when two things meet and match in vibration, resulting in a greater amplitude. A multiplication of energy. For Wasinga this meant collective Resonance with the elements – the land, the fire, the song, the silence, the dance…. and each other.

Through this magical process of Wasinga our group Resonance continues to be a resource for us all.

Resonance with Medicine Festival and Wasinga was also an important factor. Back in the day, we sometimes had a small medicine ceremony before Wasinga began – to connect with, call-in and honour the land, the spirits and the ancestors. This Wasinga offered a supportive role for Medicine, that followed two weeks after – and Wasinga was the ceremony. Honouring and celebrating community, family, peace, hilarity, growth and change – the shared liminal space we inhabit and are being called to re-adapt and re-dream into…

Our collective energy is everything – through the use of open mic and conducted group sessions of songs, rhythms, dancing and acting – a truly co-creative explosive Ceremony and Group Initiation.

“Consider yourself, one of the family”

We are a tribe growing up together. We may gather once a year but thats not the end of it. This year’s gathering was built together. We had a moment! A deep resonating moment, with the micro and macro, we all needed this, and the world needs this.

❤️ Big love to you all ❤️
