Texas sisters!!! This one’s for the women who could use some time to recharge and reconnect with their inner being as well as other heart-centered women, dancing on the earth, singing under the stars, and receiving some loving support and healing care. 💞

This is the perfect opportunity for you to RECEIVE for a change and get your cup filled UP! You’ve earned it! Yes, you deserve it, my love. 🫶

This is more than a weekend away. It’s an opportunity to slow down, step out of the everyday, into nature, into community, and a little deeper into yourself.

Also, to give ourselves permission to be both sacred and silly, grounded and wild, soft and powerful.

To dance. To sing. To laugh until our bellies hurt. To rest beneath the trees. To share our gifts. To celebrate the beautiful mystery of being alive. YES, LIFE!! 🙌

We can’t wait to gather, grow, giggle, heal, and make a little magic with you! 🌙🔥💃🏻💞

In order to make this accessible for most, the ticket prices are VERY affordable. If price is still an obstacle for you, we are also looking for someone to support us in the kitchen in exchange for their ticket. If that’s you, let me know asap. 🍉🧝🏼‍♀️🥑

Questions? Please reach out. We’re happy to help!

Whether you can make it or not, sending you love, queen! You are a gift to this world and I hope you’re taking good care of yourself. 😘

Pause the Scroll.
Take two deep breaths with me to invite in peace and ease into your nervous system. Let your jaw & shoulders relax for just a moment. Invite in Peace. Ease. Trust. Gratitude. 🕊️🤍🕊️

Repeat as necessary throughout the day to calm your nervous system and come back to this present moment. Have a beautiful day, my friends. ✌️ by @karenfunshine

This one’s for all my SISTERS!
Could you use a moment to Reset & Recharge? I mean, we’ve survived one of the wildest years humanity has ever seen, so it’s kind of a rhetorical question. Of course you could!

Well, I feel you and I’m here for you! Come immerse yourself in a nourishing weekend of healing and good vibrations. It’s everything a wild woman could desire to reset her nervous system and recharge her body, mind, heart & spirit. Yoga with live music, breathwork, ecstatic dance, songs around the fire, fire prayer-formances, self-serve spa station, sound healing, EFT, and a Rise-n-Funshine somatic movement activation by yours truly. It’s also my bday weekend and I can’t think of any better way to celebrate life than to be with other bad ass women sharing their gifts and doing our parts to raise the collective vibration- in nature - during the absolute BEST time of year in Texas. 🍁

💃 November 6-8 in Dale, TX 💃

This is nourishment on all levels. Together, we lift each other up so we can be better resourced to face these transformative times we’re facing. We’re all in it! You don’t have to do it alone.

Myself and several other incredible facilitators have all been pouring our hearts into creating the most healing, magical, and restorative experience for you to come and RECEIVE. Yes, you deserve it. YES, you will leave feeling lighter and brighter. YES, you will connect with new soul sisters. YES, you will have a LOT of FUN! Say YES to YOU!! 💖

Sending you all so very much love and hope you’re taking great care of yourselves out there in the midst of all the tumult. Infinite blessings beaming your way! ✨💖✨💖✨💖✨

I’m here if you have any questions. Otherwise, just click the link in my bio and come to be loved up. You’re healing is OUR healing. Don’t hesitate. This is going to be AHHH-Mazing! I can’t freaking wait. We would absolutely love your presence there. If you feel the call, grab your spot now and come be nourished, sister love. 💞🌸💞

Challenging hikes, epic scenery, spontaneous surprises…love it all. And it can be physically and energetically exhausting. And oftentimes, quite lonely honestly. Moments like this where I can be still and connect to myself and the earth make all the difference. Recharging is necessary, wherever you are. Even one deep breath can bring you back to the present moment and return to gratitude. #solotravel #recharge #cominghometomyself taken in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom by @karenfunshine

We made it! We’re alive! 🤗

It’s difficult and it’s amazing. Fullllll-S P E C T R U M, baby! We signed up for this. 🌈

Here’s a short uplifting practice for you utilizing movement and affirmations to encode your body with positive messages to shape your reality. Don’t forget the lens which you look at the world through - is the world you see. And you get to choose. 👁️ Bless up.

I hope you try this practice with me or find your own version of it. It truly changes how you feel. And how you feel shifts everything around you. Give it a go and let me know. 🥰

After recently re-entering the wild and wacky world of dating again after many years, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s most important for me to fall in love with myself first. The frequency that I give off is what attracts a potential partner and right now I’m still in the process of accepting my aging body exactly as it is, remembering my inherit worth, and owning my personal power. I will no longer be outsourcing those things externally or seeking validation. I will no longer abandon myself by bending to someone else’s expectations or desires. I am the one I’ve been searching for and I’m loving getting to know this now version of myself. Entering my queen era… 💞👑💞

Sending you love…

May we expand our hearts a little more each day.

💝 Love yourself. How are you speaking to yourself? Treating your body? Bless it up!

💞 Love each other. Plant the seeds of love wherever you go - a smile, kind word, or small gesture of kindness can go a long way.

💚 Love our home planet. Waste less. Ditch single-use plastic. Tend your garden. Kiss the soil with your feet. Sing to the waters.

💖 Be the change. I love you. by @karenfunshine

Soul remembrance through every cell. Ancestral healing woven among the field. Vibrant magic.
Sovereign visions guiding. Fulfillment of light. The essence of sisterhood. These are a few touches which express the divine grace, sincere beauty and pure potential which arises, in the Women’s Dance Temple 🌹

It is an honor of a lifetime to help steward this temple for the Divine Mother, which Reva has blessed the community with 🤍 I give a heart-swelling thank you to every woman who shares her presence. For the recent volunteers Aurora and Karen for lending hands with joy. Medicine Woman Kerry for creating such a magical altar, sharing delicious cacao and your deeply loving presence- you are a gift 💎 And DJ Clay Papa for your immeasurable heart, passionate truth, playfulness, and skill through music curation for full embodiment. What an empowerment! ❤️‍🔥

Our next dance is on August 15th with beloved sisters: DJ Karen Funshine, LIVE Singing with Eli, and Medicine Woman Elisa Fox 💫 Link in the bio. Please join us on the third Saturday of every month at Temple of the Awakening Heart. by @karenfunshine

Even though I live a pretty “slow life”, it can still feel overwhelming at times, especially when you’re unsure of what’s next. Today and every day I come back to this prayer.

🙏🏼 Dear God, may I be a clear channel for your Divine love and light to flow through. As I move through the unknown, illuminate the next step on my path. Help me to stay grounded, present and grateful for all the abundant blessings in my life. Show me how I can be of service and share my gifts in a good way. May I walk in peace, love, joy, and humility. Thank you!”

🌿 With my feet on the earth and my mind, heart, and eyes wide open, I pay attention to the signs and messages always coming through - whether it’s in the words of a book I randomly open, a song on the radio, a butterfly, bird, flower or rainbow, or the words someone speaks to me in precisely the right moment. I know that all of it is being offered for my highest good and the highest good of all. I trust the process and don’t need to have it all figured out.

💖 And…I constantly remind myself to have as much fun as possible on the journey. My joy shows me the way.

🧚 While life is filled with many challenging lessons, it’s also filled with so much beauty, love, and magic that is waiting to be fully experienced. May we pause to savor the small sweet moments and notice how life is always working out for us. It’s gotten us this far, right?! Yes, life! Show me how good it can be! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!! 🙏🏼💖🌈🦋✨🙏🏼 taken in Barnardsville, North Carolina by @karenfunshine

Friday, May 15th
Evening Dance Wave 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm | Warmup 7pm | Opening Circle 7:30pm
Guest DJ Karen Funshine | Facilitator Ted Riskin

Intention: Embrace You-Ness

“You-Ness” is the essence of you, a completely unique blend of your genetic & astrological blueprint, your life experiences, your spirit, talents, & desires. Within you lives a full spectrum of personalities, from the wounded child to the wise sage, from the artist to the scientist and so many varied expressions in between. This dance is an invitation to step fully into that multi-dimensional being and welcome all parts of yourself, raw, real, and FREE. Drop the mask of your "usual self" and allow what’s been hidden or suppressed to breathe, move, be seen and felt, whether it be the elegant or the profane, the tender or the fierce, the serious or the sensual, the timid or the wild one. There is no bad or wrong part of you. It's all perfect, whole & complete. Together, we celebrate radical self-acceptance rather than comparison and rediscover the freedom of being wholly, unapologetically you. In the words of the great Dr. Seuss, "Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You". So, let's dive in and get curious about which parts of us show up when we invite them into our dance with loving, open arms, minds, & hearts.

About the DJ
Karen Funshine (Karen Smith) has been dancing since age 3, with movement as her lifelong ally. A veteran raver & EDM enthusiast, she was delighted to discover 5Rhythms and ecstatic dance 10 years ago in Austin - a sober and judgment-free space to get wild & free. She’s since facilitated many women’s conscious dance circles and a vibrant live-instrument dance - weaving music and somatic movement to alchemize emotion, open the heart, and awaken joy. Recently relocated to Asheville, Karen is honored to share her passion and playfulness with her beautiful new community through the universal language of music and dance.
