Ecstatic Dance & Contact Improv | J BRAVE
After producing nearly 300 ecstatic dances since 2018, it's time for me to open a new chapter in life. Building community through these events and Roots to Crown has been the most significant achievement of my life. I'm stoked that the space will continue, our community will grow, and many more events will be held in this space. This event marks the last EDSP event & last event of Roots to Crown before it becomes Sacred City ~ come, celebrate the transition with this final dance! - Seva
<3 <3 <3
Internationally touring artist, performer, and speaker, J Brave’s intention is to inspire the remembrance of our divine nature.
He learned to transform his trauma into triumph, turn his mess into a message, and shift suffering into songs to heal himself and inspire the world.
His greatest gifts are to speak life into others, bring people together, and utilize his music as a means to unify and connect us all.
His live shows fuse storytelling and fierce Hip Hop lyrics, and his DJ sets offer a selection of Global Bass and World Beats intended to celebrate the power of diversity.
During his travels through Kemet he had a massive spiritual awakening, and has since been plant based for over 20 years as a part of his dedication to health and well-being.
As a former counselor for homeless and at-risk youth, he learned the importance of service during a nearly 10 year period working at five non-profit organizations.
He founded the legendary Hip Hop collective the Luminaries, curates events under the brand Benevolence, and co-created Actualize Music.
He also offers guidance to artists through the Keys Of Kreation community, and supports people to find healing through the creative process.
Beyond all of his accomplishments and titles he is most proud of being a father to his beautiful children Simunye and Numi.
“I am a vessel allowing the Universe to express through me" - J

From a place of deep listening, Connect Beyond Contact builds upon the foundation of Contact Beyond Contact to offer a more intimate exploration of relational presence. Rooted in the CBC modality, this practice invites us to slow down, tune in, and truly see and be seen.
Through intentional somatic movement, conscious touch, and guided connection exercises, we deepen our capacity for authentic relating—with ourselves, with others, and with the greater field of Spirit that holds us all.
As a facilitator, Cameo Rose weaves together over a decade of therapeutic dance, bodywork, and trauma-informed care to create a grounded space where vulnerability becomes strength, and connection becomes medicine. She invites you to soften into trust, play with curiosity, and awaken the wisdom that lives in your body.
This session gently opens the door to:
✨ Explore boundaries and consent through movement
✨ Practice presence and emotional attunement
✨ Deepen your sense of embodied connection
✨ Strengthen safety and coherence in shared space
Whether you arrive solo or with a partner, you’ll be invited into authentic, nourishing exchanges—where leaning in becomes a pathway to healing, and movement becomes a mirror for what’s alive between us.
Let’s explore what it truly means to connect—beyond contact.

Closing Ceremony
Come together to honor the journey of Roots to Crown and celebrate the evolution of our co-created communal vortex as we prepare to embark on our next chapter as Sacred City.

Heartwaves 2.0
We are back with Heartwaves 2.0 - Dancing with Grief. This is a sacred gathering where we honor, express, and transform grief through the healing power of movement and cacao. This journey offers a space to connect deeply with yourself, your emotions, and the wisdom of your heart as you dance through the waves of loss and love allowing your body to process emotions that words cannot always reach.
Beginning with a heart-opening cacao ceremony, the spirit of this sacred plant medicine nurtures you as it guides you into softening, surrendering, and feeling fully. Through a carefully curated musical journey, you will be guided into an embodiment practice that transitions into an ecstatic dance journey, inviting you to move through swells of sorrow, remembrance, and catharsis, ultimately arriving at a place of release and renewal.
Whether you are grieving a loved one, a past version of yourself, or the world’s collective pain, this is a space to feel, express, and alchemize your emotions through movement—whether gentle or wild, still or flowing, all forms of expression are welcome.
When/Where:
April 12th from 8p-11p at Roots to Crown in St. Pete, FL
What to Expect:
Sacred cacao ceremony – Open your heart and set intentions with this ancient plant medicine.
Ecstatic dance journey – Move through grief in a supportive, freeform dance experience.
Safe and sacred space – Express yourself without judgment, held in community.
Guided release & integration – Honor your emotions and find renewal through movement.
Together, we will create a ritual of remembrance, release, and transformation—allowing the dance to be our medicine and the cacao to be our guide. Come as you are, and let the music carry you.

Ecstatic Dance Guidelines
----------------------------------------
Respect the Space:
No shoes, food, drinks, or candles on the dance floor.
Clean up after yourself. Props, cushions, and mats are welcome but must be returned after use.
Bathrooms and water fountain are available for your convenience.
Respect Each Other:
No talking, videos, or phones on the dance floor.
This is a sober space: no drugs or alcohol.
Practice heart-centered, non-verbal consent: make eye contact and wait for a mutual 'yes.'
Hands in prayer communicates a 'no, thank you' or signifies gratitude for a dance just shared.
Respect Yourself:
Wear comfortable attire that allows free movement and expression.
Be mindful of scents; avoid strong perfumes.
Notice judgments of yourself or others, and let them pass.
Hydrate and listen to your body’s needs.
Embrace the Experience:
You are a sovereign being. Engage in the dance in any way your body calls—stillness is also dancing.
While there are attractions outside the dance space, the magic of ecstatic dance is in our shared movement.
Join us for the closing circle to complete the journey together.
This is a sacred space for healing, connection, and expression. Let’s co-create a safe and respectful environment for all.

Soul Flight St Pete
Join us for a 3 hour Shamanic Immersion into the power of journeying with Ceremonial Cacao, Restorative Breath and Sacred Sounds.
Soul Flight is a transformational sound journey.
Multi instrumentalist Tim Morrison Live Loops Sacred sounds with an array of instruments and his voice to take you on a deep Shamanic sound journey. Lie back, relax and let the sounds take you on a deep journey inward.
The journey begins with a Cacao ceremony to open the door of our heart, allowing us to step through, discovering all of its mysteries, ready to embrace the space of openness and pure love. It gives us the opportunity to focus on intention, reverence and greater purpose.
It is followed by a gentle restorative breathwork that focuses on deepening relaxation, before we enter into a deep sound Immersion.
You can expect to hear multiple layers of Sacred instruments played with intention to create a meditative space that evokes deep transformation, personal healing and so much more.
As the sounds move their way through our nervous system we receive emotional clearing, changes in our mind, a deep inward focus, journeys where we can receive guidance, insight healing, transformation and so much more. Sound has the potential to dissolve and transmute any negative or heavy energies as the frequencies of the Sacred sound brings us up into a higher vibrational state and in doing so all that does not match this frequency, will naturally fall away.
Combining ceremonial Cacao, Breath and Sacred sounds gives us a truly powerful and unique combination.
A gentle heart expanding ceremony guided by the power of sound and Cacao. Sacred sounds guide you to release, realign and anchor into who you are.
Join the experience to discover that there is far more to consciousness than what resides in the physical body.
Are you ready to reconnect to feel the depth of who you are?
To truly feel your soul pulsating inside of you?
Together we sit in ceremony, we connect and we journey into our heart space. Surrendering gently into the process and enabling the sacred sounds to wash through us transmuting all that no longer serves.
The great gift of combining Ceremonial Cacao and Sacred sounds is that they are both high vibrational energy tools.
They both enable you to release, realign and rejuvenate with ease and grace. They both gently carry away what no longer serves from a deep internal journey.
As we drop deeper into ourselves the sounds relax us deeper and deeper, with no need for the body to activate a cathartic release but rather a deeply meditative, nurturing and nourishing journey.
The power of sound has been known for aeons but science is only just beginning to showcase it. It is one that you just receive first hand for yourself and the experience speaks for itself. It has the potential to move and positively impact our entire being.
Suitable for all levels and backgrounds. You will be provided with a deeply transformative and supported space and tools to take home with you to use day to day.
