Josie Corke
Live Medicine Music & Live Sound Bath
Wow! We were so blown away by Josie Corke when she shared her medicine music and prayers at our NYD Celebration 2025 that we wanted to book her for our 3rd birthday to experience her magic as part of a more intimate and deep journey.
Josie shares original medicine music inspired by her teachings with ancestral wisdom traditions of the Americas. She weaves introspective lullabies with full power dancing and drumming to offer a deep journey through the power of sacred song.
She sees the force of sound as one of the most profound ways to connect to spirit, supporting healing and transformation. Together, united in frequency and harmony we honour ourselves and celebrate life!
Daniel Hernadez & Divine Ridiculous
Tarot & Dance
Daniel Hernandez is a curious mischief-maker who explores the ritual roots of performance. The deeper he has dived into teaching, performing, and living in this rich territory, the more he has seen archaic / shamanic clown and mask cosmologies become fascinating and colourful routes into individuation.
His performances, projects, ceremonies and workshops draw upon a wide variety of related traditions. These include Dance, Clown, Bouffon, Butoh, Contact Improvisation, Vodou, Mask, Psychomagic, Art, Sacred Sexuality and Breathwork.
He is continually researching and developing his practice through trainings, readings, experiments, and mistakes. His first love was music. He doesn't claim to be a master of anything.
Founded by Hernandez, Divine Ridiculous is a community of magico-artistic explorers engaged in a praxis which incorporates ritual theatre, trance, artist-as-medium, mask work, chaos magic, and mytho-poetic act. Their work is grounded in the art of Clown. They are calling in the Mythical Trickster. Come and play!
