Mamba Muntu
Waters of Creation
Step into the enchanting realm of Mamba Muntu’s Waters of Creation." Participants embark on a captivating journey into the heart of Congolese dance, music, and mythology. Led by Master Dancer and Teacher Funmilayo. Immerse yourself in the rhythmic melodies of the kora, mbira, and kalimba as you gracefully embody ancient traditional movements that connect you to the very essence of life.
With each step, feel the healing vibrations and pelvic rotations guiding you, surrounded by gentle undulating waves. As you move, the boundaries between self and nature blur, and you become one with the harmonious energy of the universe.
In this immersive experience, participants dissolve into a realm where the union of self and nature breeds pure harmony and peace. "Waters of Creation" invites you to explore the depths of your being, embracing the transformative power of movement and the sacred connection between body, mind, and spirit.
