Little Woo featured on the cover of Shared Vision Magazine

Riding the Wave of Adventure
Little Woo's journey from corporate cubicle
to a life of passion
by JENNIFER CROLL

“Life is pure magic,” says Vancouver’s legendary Little Woo. We are sitting together on a sun-dappled park bench in East Van. She’s dressed like a modern-day pirate with short pants, white shirt, vest, and red wraps entwined in her waist-length hair. Everything about her—her outfit, her demeanour—is playful. But her turquoise-eyeliner-rimmed brown eyes reveal that when it comes to magic, she’s not joking around.

Little Woo is a relatively new nom de guerre for the gifted performance artist. As a child growing up in New Brunswick, she had a challenging childhood that she describes as a prolonged “dark night of the soul.” But she says there are no regrets, because it helped create who she is now....

The community exists to inspire, support and encourage the emergence of our greatest expression and the legacy of joy that its extension brings into the world. From the BEingness of community, possibilities inherent in our collective human spirit emerge and take flight.

During the weekend, the community is offering a wide variety of intentional playshops, presentations, ceremonies, healing sessions, and celebrations including some incredible tribal energy, music, dance and performance.

We are so delighted by the AWEsome hearts that are feeling the call to share in the unfolding magic. The inspiring and inspired visionaries, artists and performers who are joining us include (in alphabetical order):

Free event - A minimum $2.00 suggested donation would be welcome

at 10:30pm
Little Woo's Burlesque Shadow Act: The Silent Kingdom
at the East side of the lake, in the field, near barn animal lantern displays

As dusk falls over Trout Lake Park in East Vancouver, families and friends come together from far and wide to witness an extraordinary celebration of light.

On this night, the Illuminares Lantern Procession fills the air with music, and thousands of paper lanterns come alive with fire. A brilliant spectacle of weaving serpents, birds in flight, planets in orbit, schools of fish, and all sorts of glowing and shimmering creatures of the imagination.

Processional bands playing world and folk music encourage spectators on the sidelines to join in the journey through the park. Along the way, audiences pass brightly illuminated displays and engaging circus performances of juggling, dancing, clowning, and so much more.

The Illuminares Lantern Procession builds up to an amazing show of art, music, dance, fire sculptures, torch choreography, and dazzling fireworks on the lake.

Little Woo profiled in Reconnection Magazine
Read the whole article at: http://www.reconnectionmagazine.ca/spring07/06.php


Profile of Little Woo

From a very young age, Little Woo was fascinated with the spiritual realm. Her childhood years were unconventional and challenging, with much time spent indoors in isolation. Without the usual elements of child’s play in her world, she turned inwards and developed an intimate relationship with her inner voice. This voice was connected to the world of imagination and art, which helped her survive the formative years. But other forces were also present, forces that were ominous and angry. So her mind was a battle zone, where a debate was raging over the nature of reality itself. Was this simply a cruel world where justice existed only by random chance? Or was it a magical world where beauty and truth held sway?

As soon as she could read, she began to study the mythology books in the children's section of the library and the occult texts in the adults' section. A deep passion for the unseen, the unexplained and the esoteric guided her early quest to understand the universe...  read more

Beheshto's 5th year celebration: FANA
Crystal Creek, Sunshine Coast BC

As we approach the summer outdoor music festival season, it is with great excitement that I bring you the news of Beheshto's 5th year celebration, guiding you to consciousness with music, dance and new this year, workshops.

Fana is the Sufi term for extinction. It means to annihilate the self, while remaining physically alive. Persons having entered this state are said to have no existence outside of, and be in complete unity with, Allah (God). Fana is equivalent to the concept of nirvana in Buddhism or moksha in Hinduism which also aim for annihilation of the self.

We invite you to join us at Crystal Creek on the Sunshine Coast: workshops will run from 1:30pm to 6pm, followed by music, dancing and celebration through the night.

Workshops:

Kundalini Dance: Dance your way to ecstasy with Priestess Kaitlyn Field, hailing from Victoria.

Electronic Musical Alchemy:
Learn the secrets behind the beats with Jeff G. from Existence records.

Lucid Dreaming: Harness the transformational power of conscious dreaming with Khan.

Sufism: Experience the beauty of this ancient practice of eastern mysticism.

Alchemy of Form with Little Woo
We will go through a set of postures and movements to explore the emotional and spiritual energy held in specific positions of the body. This is a glimpse at how form directs particular energy to flow. Part yoga, part energy healing, part theatre of the soul.

Velofusion Dance Party
ROCK THE JAILHOUSE: a Pre-trial benefit for Betty Krawzcyk

at the Anza Club
3 West 8th Avenue Vancouver
$10 cover
$5 with membership or if you come with Critical Mass

With Eats from the Vegetarian Resource Centre


Presenters include:
environmental spokesperson and former Green Party candidate Damian Kettlewell
Squamish elder and longtime activist Harriet Nahanee
journalist and poet Marni Norwich

Entertainers include:
Little Woo
DJ Timothy Wisdom
Fatty Fatty and the Roaches.


About Betty:
Krawczyk faces charges of contempt of court for protesting the destruction of Eagleridge Bluffs. The 78 year-old great grandmother and writer has already spent more than two and a half years incarcerated for her activism. Krawczyk says her trial brings into relief both the destruction of an irreplaceable ecosystem and the erosion of democracy in Canada.

Krawczyk will be representing herself at the week-long trial beginning January 29th. Her case will rest on the argument she be permitted to base her defense on the reason she was protesting rather than be tried for breaking a court injunction to forbid her to protest. She says corporations regularly use injunctions to prevent public protest.

"The courts are supposed to represent the people," says Krawczyk. "If instead of looking through the prism of pubic interest, courts are looking through the prism if corporate interest, we're in very sad shape."
