Soulsets
Every evening at 8 PM, with a full belly and a happy heart, we will gather in the Transformation Temple for an epic collective energy called a Soulset. This is peak collective energy for Dragonfly Fest.
- Thursday – Ecstatic Nap – Join Dragonfly Fest Founder, Al Jameson, as he guides you in the most profound permissive and immersive touch and relax experience with the entire community.
- Friday – Dance of the Elementals – Align your body and spirit with the five elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Ether. This Soulset utilizes mantras and movement to balance the elements within your body and spirit, ultimately leading to a harmonious and aligned state of being. It draws power from the universal, loving, and unique consciousness of nature, fire, water, air, and Shantiji’s favorite, the pure magic substance aether.
- Saturday – Four Elements Cacao Ceremony – Join our exclusive team of cacao leaders in our community from all over Texas coming together for this unique ceremony honoring the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water.
