What is sacred theater?
In Greek culture, sacred theater was called Therapia (the work of the gods) because it was considered to be a form of engaging conscious evolution of the soul through ecstatic attunement. It was a sacred medium in which to gather to honor the growing seeds of consciousness. It was a sanctified forum in which to heal, to celebrate, to go to the highest possible denominator together in ecstasy. It explored the mythic, archetypal dimensions of being that actually set and guided the field for our egos to play out the mythic scripting of our soul's evolution. It opened the field to more mythic expressions of the masks of Self, than our ego's may have been previously aware. The ancients knew what we have forgotten, that archetypal energy heals, catalyzes and transforms beyond the mind's ability to cognize. Sacred Theater provides the container for that archetypal transaction to take place.
Spontaneous Sacred Theater: "The Lotus Born"
"The Lotus Born" is an example of sacred theater (ceremony) that has no script, just arising out of a desire to celebrate life and beauty together. It spontaneously arises out of each participant's joy in contributing to the beauty of the experience. In this case, we met at Lotus Land in Santa Barbara, California and each person contributed to the spontaneous ceremony (sacred theater) that arose, in whatever way they felt inspired in the moment. At the end of this twenty minute video that came from this experience, after the credits, there is an interview with Ariel Spilsbury concerning the nature of sacred theater in general and its re-emergence in this present time. Who is Ariel and The Divine Cosmic Circus?
Ariel is the author of The Mayan Oracle, & The 13 Moon Oracle: Holographic Meditations on the Mystery. She is a cheerleader for consciousness, ceremonialist, initiator, sacred theater player, planetary priestess and Fairy Godmother. She makes various offerings with the intention of planetary awakening. For more details about her work see www.holographicgoddess.com .
The Divine Cosmic Circus is a group of sacred clowns for the divine, performing original works of ceremonial theater with the intention of engaging conscious evolution. Through riding the ecstatic current of sound together, a frequency of information is accessed that celebrates sacred time and space and reveals a timeless enactment of truth. These stream of consciousness pieces of the non-linear, non-causal, wisdom from the Divine Feminine, saturate's one with profound feeling states that create an enigmatic entryway directly into the Mystery. The Divine Cosmic Circus offers sacred theater works from The Alchemy of Ecstasy by Ariel Spilsbury and other works on a more humorous note. Consciousness raves, rites of passage, workshops and initiatory work are other aspects of the present focus of their spiritual work.
