WHAT IS A RINGSHOUT?

A ringshout is a reimagined portal of dream activation seeded by Mother Mother’s ancestral foremothers who were once enslaved on plantations in the American South, that takes the shape of a counterclockwise movement processional traveling through dimensions of time and space. Dancing the ringshout nourishes Mother Mother’s fertility consciousness and keeps her ever-present with her power as a creator. Moving in tandem with the Earth, the counterclockwise orbits that she makes in the space mirror the spin of the planet we call home.

We can travel anywhere in the ringshout…

In this 45-minute ringshout, offered here in 3 parts, Mother Mother dances continuously for the full duration of the ringshout, honoring the integrity of the spin and the creation majesties it holds.

Seven years ago Mother Mother was just beginning to find her way into the fertility sermons she felt called to birth. She hadn’t yet connected that the dance rituals she was discovering were also the soil from which her sermons would grow. Mother Mother was attempting to sit down, open a blank page in her journal, and write. Some things were surfacing, but she couldn’t quite grasp the enormity of what was coming forth with pen and paper. Slowly, and with much practice and experimentation, Mother Mother discovered she had to be in motion, and then the sermons began to stream like water.

The ringshout is where Mother Mother’s sermons are born. It’s been a long, slow labor. In these many spirals and experiments, the ringshouts have helped her realize the most generative way for her sacred texts to emerge is through her dancing body.

For years now Mother Mother has been sitting with how to share the practice of the ringshout as a healing, divination, and dreamcasting methodology, and Starseed Communion is a magical evolution toward bringing that dream to life.

Throughout the ringshout, you’ll hear Mother Mother say, Gratitude seeds abundance. What are you grateful for? This beautiful, spirited, sweat-popping, booty-dropping ringshout journey is an invitation to matter your heart, your life, your dreams, to say by name what it is you feel grateful for, to dance and expand the frequencies of gratitude in your whole body. Enjoy your practice, enjoy the discovery!
