Bahamas Retreat - Eleutheran Ascension
This all inclusive spiritual retreat is full of love and the intention. We have curated the ideal set and setting to inspire consciousness of a deep sacred connection with fire, water, air, the Earth, and Spirit in order to create deep peace and harmonic resonance from within. The Eleutheran Ascension Retreat includes:
Cacao Ceremony & Sacred Tobacco
Elemental Excursions (Snorkeling, Kayaking, Cave Exploring, Sapphire Cenote)
Group Integration Sessions
We invite you to Be Here Now with us on this transformational journey to the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas. The word Eleuthera means freedom, and was given to the island in 1647 by settlers seeking religious freedom. We have chosen this location to provide a fully immersive setting that harmonizes the elements. Free your mind, body and spirit and unlock ancient wisdom. We will commune together and pray for religious freedom across the world in sacred spots on this island such as Preacher’s Cave and the Sapphire Cenote.
This intentional experience is being co-created with a balance of the divine feminine and divine masculine energy. Your hosts are Sheena & Rob, the guardians of the Sundance Sanctuary.

DrumBirth Ceremony with Sema Rae
The art of drum making is a ceremony.
It is an initiation into embodying the voice we are given and the voice of Mother Earth. It has a life of its own and delivers unique lessons, messages and challenges for each person. It is a rite of passage into the self that is calling us. It is reclamation of our destiny as we step into the unfolding of our own great story.
This offering is for those who hear the call of the drum; who long to connect with the Earth and be a channel for the Divine; who have a heart for healing; who simply desire to sing and drum more; and for those who are ready to claim their voice.
Drumming and singing is the most ancient technology to achieve states of high consciousness where deep healing and transformation happens, wisdom is received and life force replenished.
For me this ceremony is inseparable from our unique song. It is all about being a channel for our voice to fulfill its purpose - expressing the divine we are made of. It is to remember our birthright - our undeniable belonging to this Earth and to honor her will for us.
In this all day workshop we will hold a ceremony where we craft our medicine drums with intention and reverence to the process of death and birthing anew. In our safe container we will create beauty, listen to what wants to come through us and weave our prayers and voices together. At the end of our full day ceremony, we will take our cherished drums home with us, and commit to the practice of intentionally communing with the elemental forces in the context of channeling divine music.

The joy of singing and sounding together and how it activates divine love and devotion inside of us is the fountain of youth. Allowing and creating space to connect to the divine makes a most joyful and vibrant tribe.

AN-TEN-NAE
An-Ten-Nae, a name synonymous with the very pulse of the West Coast's vibrant electronic music scene, has long been an instrumental figure in shaping its unique soundscape. From his tenure as Music Director at San Francisco's revered 1015 Folsom to his past role as Creative Director for Portland’s trailblazing venue The North Warehouse, his influence is far-reaching and undeniable.
Pioneering the Acid Crunk Compilations, An-Ten-Nae curated an eclectic blend of artists such as Griz, Opiuo, and members of The Glitch Mob, among others. This fusion of talents and sounds laid the groundwork for what we now celebrate as the West Coast bass scene.
An-Ten-Nae’s ethos revolves around evolution and reinvention. He consistently pushes his boundaries with unwavering dedication to his craft and an unwavering commitment to fostering community. Harnessing his custom setup, An-Ten-Nae delivers unique performances, blending live remixing capabilities with high-energy shows that defy the ordinary.
Boasting a repertoire of over 100 releases, An-Ten-Nae's music has frequented the iTunes Electronica Top 10 and has been featured in publications like the Huffington Post, This Song Is Sick, and Billboard. With a staggering 70 Million combined streams and downloads, his music has graced stages from EDC, Electric Forest, Shambhala, and Lightning in a Bottle to international venues in Australia, Tokyo, and beyond. His additional projects, including Dimond Saints, have resonated deeply with audiences worldwide.
Illusion of Duality
The Illusion of Duality can be found somewhere in between the Bass & the Treble. Chris, the alchemical artist, has been on a musical journey since birth to truly re-discover his sound. Born & raised on the west coast playing strings, percussion & keys, Chris honed his craft on the decks far before electronic music was popular in the early 2000’s.
With the use of frequency embedded in a universe of rhythm Chris navigates between the Darkness & the Light to bridge the gap between electronic and organic. On the dance floor, his worldly sound will guide you on an ever evolving adventure of downtempo bass, medicine house and pure vibes sure to lead you “home”. Beyond the good or the evil, to a place where we are all ONE.
Sema Rae
Sema Rae is a Songstress and temple artist from the Aegean Coast of Turkey. Deeply connected to the Earth wisdom of her Motherland, she has traveled the world for the past 14 years studying and drawing upon a multitude of sound and ritual movement practices. These lineages include, Nepalese Sound Healing, Yoga, Drum Medicine and SheDance from Thailand. Through transformational events, retreats and workshops, Sema teaches vocal empowerment, holds containers of authentic expression and gives the gift of song.
Her unique sound is inspired by her foundation in healing and devotional world music, channeling mantras and medicine songs. Her poetic story-telling is laced with angelic vocals, bringing codes of light from above. Her first single 'SitaRam' was released earlier this year, with more to come soon.
StarTribe presents Dance of Anatolia - an interactive somatic experience through movement, sound and ancient wisdom curated and facilitated by Turkish songstress, Sema Rae.
This transformative ritual dance is designed to take us on a journey through the ancient lands of Anatolia, or modern day Turkey, where the memory of the Goddess is kept.
Through the practices native to this land, we commune with the Mother Goddess - the revealer of inner truth. The intention behind this somatic journey is to reconnect us with both our inner power as conscious creators, as well as amplify our gifts within the greater community.

Drum Making Ceremony with Sema Rae
The art of drum making is a ceremony. It has a life of its own and delivers unique lessons, messages and challenges for each person. It is an initiation into the embodiment of an intention.
This offering is for those who hear the call of the drum; who long to connect with the Earth and be a channel for the Divine; who have a heart for healing; who simply desire to sing and drum more; and for those who know it is time to activate the voice.
Drumming and singing is the most ancient technology to achieve states of high consciousness where deep healing and transformation happens, wisdom is received and life force replenished.
In this all day workshop we will hold a ceremony where we craft our medicine drums with intention and reverence to the process of giving and attaining new life after death. In our safe container we will create beauty, listen to what wants to come through us and weave our prayers and voices together.
At the end of our full day ceremony, we will take our cherished drums home with us.
All drum materials are provided!

Noah Proudfoot Kickstarter Launch Show
Enjoy an intimate evening of heartfelt music by Noah Proudfoot and friends.
Asheville songwriter, Noah Proudfoot, is excited to return to the stage to share brand new music from his third studio album! With support from local musicians, the evening will be an intimate journey of storytelling, spanning multiple genres and culminating in a full band performance.
In the six years since his last EP release with the Botanicals, Noah has been hard at work studying recording and music production- lending itself to a wider expression of nuance and musicality. With songs ranging from folk-tronica to world music, the forthcoming album will showcase the largest and most diverse body of songs Noah has yet to release.
With help from musical collaborators such as percussionist, Ben Stockdale, vocalist Cicada Evergreen, and bassist Brennan Dugan- the new CD echoes the soulful harmonies of the last album, while making new forays into soundscapes that evoke scenes from the misty jungles of South America. The Kickstarter campaign is key in making these dreams and visions possible, providing the support to pay artists and local collaborators to play a part in the album making process.
The launch show will take place at Weaving Rainbows, an indigenous arts & crafts store in downtown Asheville, that supports the work of native artists from all over the world. Noah has been sharing Kirtan there every Tuesday evening with his fiancè, Sema Rae, who will also be sharing her voice and songs at the show.
As a thank you, everyone who attends will receive a free copy of the new album. Habibi Village will be onsite, selling their delicious Lebanese crèpes. The evening promises to be a captivating journey of songs, stories, and collaboration. We appreciate your support of local art and music, and look forward to singing and spending time with you at the show!
