As the dancers travel through portals that cross time cycles and spacescapes\, they integrate vital medicine and patchwork a methodology of dreaming that literally brings the desired world closer. We discover wisdom and connectivities inside the depths of oceanic grief\, in the shared rhythms of a dance club\, in the hatching of mythical creatures\, in the rubble of war-torn landscapes\, and inside quantum entanglements of movement and breath. Dancing together opens portals to the future\, drawing on the feminist spiritual practice of quantum jumping. 5 journeys\, 5 portals\, and 5 medicines birth the miracle of a deeply connected universe.

As the dancers travel through portals that cross time cycles and spacescapes\, they integrate vital medicine and patchwork a methodology of dreaming that literally brings the desired world closer. We discover wisdom and connectivities inside the depths of oceanic grief\, in the shared rhythms of a dance club\, in the hatching of mythical creatures\, in the rubble of war-torn landscapes\, and inside quantum entanglements of movement and breath. Dancing together opens portals to the future\, drawing on the feminist spiritual practice of quantum jumping. 5 journeys\, 5 portals\, and 5 medicines birth the miracle of a deeply connected universe.
