Meghan The Kat
Meghan the Kat has performed spectacular, electrifying hula hoop solos on stages worldwide from the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado and huge jam-band festivals like Electric Forest in Michigan, all the way to famous get-a-way resorts as far away as Fiji. Rising along with the first pioneering stars of the hoop movement as it evolved into an amazing expression of dance in the early 2000's, Megan eventually worked her way up in the performance hoop ranks to join forces with top-level entertainment companies like Madison House Productions and world renowned bands like The String Cheese Incident.
In addition to her performance art skills, Meghan is a certified Jivamukti Yoga Instructor and Holistic Hoopologist. She offers a unique, holistic approach to hooping/conscious movement, education and empowerment grounded in the philosophy and practice she has developed for her recently founded wellness company, Sacred Sound Synergetics. She is constantly feeding her Kat-like curiosity about the metaphysical world and is currently in the process of earning an academic degree in Sound Healing from the Globe Institute in San Francisco. This experience has guided her to "synergistically" weave Reiki, Theta healing, intuitive singing, ritual and ceremony into fun and encompassing hoop workshops and sacred sound immersions at events all around the country.
This artistic muse's story is an example of a visionary being who has truly "followed her bliss" to explore, create, experience, and involve others in that which is her passion: music, dancing, and Divine expression. Meghan the Kat is a proud "Avatar of JOY" who embodies Love and Light through conscious movement, education, music/sound healing and, the obvious, circus arts.
The upward spiral evolution of Megan's circus and healing arts career had simple beginnings. She started out as a fan who hooped for hours at a time at a nearby park "for fun". Eventually, she started drawing audiences at the park, which led her to dance professionally as a solo artist at many major events for the last decade. Making connections with fellow artists over the years has recently led to Megan's solo career expanding to also encompass an entire BIG FUN Circus family! Hence, hula hooping led to fire dancing which led to stilting ... and, you know how the ol' saying "glows" - the more, the merrier! All of Megan's life experiences flowed her toward drawing together an entire entourage of love light performers whose ZEST for life is a contagious outburst of LOVE expressed in amazing "circus-ee" BIG FUN ways!
Coming full circle, Meghan the Kat has furthermore taken her love and experience with kids (10 +years of teaching the 5th grade and coaching/training soccer) to create a magical kids zone called the "Kiddie Kat Korner". Kiddie Kat Korner is a "conscious playground" consisting of face painting, the disco hummingbird dance circus-arts dance floor, puppetry, sing-a-longs, parachute games, and an entire crafty inspiration station geared to engage the wee lil ones with activities that are both enjoyable and consciousness-promoting. She and her stilt troupe also lead amazing family parades at festivals, march at community events, and entertain as larger-than-life characters during sparkle birthday parties. BIG FUN Circus is always the BIGGEST FUN ever!
Ms Kat takes pride in "walking her talk" as a joyous vegan. All of her many, dazzling individual costumes are intentionally free of fur, leather, and feathers (unless found). She aspires to be the voice for all of our nature-world relations that do not have a choice, those such as Pachamama and all animals large and small. She will bring this vision to life this year by introducing children to books, spoken word, and music that encourages love and concern for all living creatures waiting on the horizon of sunrise consciousness with open arms.
Megan The Kat is honored to be a part of the magic and community that the ROOTWIRE festival is all about and looks forward to creating BIG FUN with YOU!
Meghan is currently self employed through her company BIG FUN Circus based in San Francisco. However, she also tremendously enjoys tailoring solo performances and leading classes, workshops and special events that are designed to specifically meet the needs of clients who regularly request her services from coast to coast. Madison House Production Company (Colorado), Earth Circus, Catalyst Arts, Victoria Nitch Productions, and NowRoz Festival (all based in the San Francisco Bay Area), Hoop Camp (Santa Cruz, CA), Holistic Hooping (Sebastopol, CA), Groovehoops (New York City), The Amazing Giants (Columbus, OH), and High Jinks Dance Co. (Chicago, IL) are just a few of the performance art organizations that keep Megan the Kat zig zagging back and forth across the country every year devoting her unique sills, deep consciousness, and effervescent personality to every event she is rootwired in. She really is as close to being a real life fairy princess kitten Kat as you're ever going to come across on this or any other plane of existence.
Workshop 1: Sacred Sound Synergetics: "Radiance"
Bask in the "radiance of being", a celebration of YOU in this moment <3
In this very playful, yet profound and empowering gathering, we will practice ways to bring back ritual to aspects of our everyday living, moving forth from the perspective of being the "PRAY----ER" to becoming the living, walking, breathing, blossoming, booming PRAYER! ! !
Sacred Sound Synergetics ,the magic that occurs from alcheminzing awareness, intention, sacred sound and conscious movement into action, will be experienced through visualization exercizes and practicing the subtle, yet profound effects of setting intention,the art of listening in order to tone, and the power of word play, incuding incantations of the heart.
New empowerment tools for your "spiritual tool belt" will be experienced through the teachings of the 5 Tibetan Warrior Seed Syllables, Joseph Rael, Barbara Marciniak, Tadasana (in regards to the lovely prayer "Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantuh"), and two very special guests who will be joining us to teach you the "new age secret handshake".
Finally, after a kundalini kriya, you will be lead by a guided meditation into a lovely savasana consisting of cystal bowls, tuning forks, aromatherapy, reiki, etc. This is vibrational medicine at its finest.
