The Electric Lodge

During this special event, Rainbow Body Matrix will lead a dance procession and we will be screening Rock the Boat and On the Edge. Following Rock the Boat there will be a Q &amp; A with the filmmakers.From the OSUN RIVER in Nigeria, to the OXUM RIVER in Salvador, Bahia BA, to the LOS ANGELES RIVER, all leading to the great Ocean, we invite you to observe World Water Day with a special presentation &amp; DANCE of the WATERS offering - an Audience participation Dance Ritual accompanied by Sacred Drum &amp; Movement.A﻿bout Rock the Boat: Paris has the Seine, London has the Thames, and Los Angeles has the concreted 51 mile LA River. But when a governmental agency decides that the derided waterway is not worthy of environmental protection, a biologist becomes a whistle blower, a writer trades his pen for a paddle, and together they and others change the course of history in a local controversy of national proportions. Rock the Boat documents this incredible journey and looks at the history and impact of the LA River – made famous in Hollywood movies – and how cities might re-imagine and reclaim their once-natural resources to revitalize urban areas today.

A﻿bout On the Edge:In July 2008, a group of intrepid Angelenos put boats in the forbidden LA River to prove its navigability, and defend its eligibility for Clean Water Act protection. Two groups of dancers and the Mud People met them by the river. This is how it was.

A﻿bout LA River Expeditions:Since 2008, we’ve been on the cutting edge of proving the navigability of the LA River through our expeditions, in order to protect and revitalize our hometown river. And we’ve led the way to making the popular kayak tours a natural part of life in Los Angeles.

A﻿bout Rainbow Body Matrix:Welcome to the Rainbow Body Matrix as we journey collectively from the Physical to the Metaphysical. Here we commune with Divine Nature, strengthening allyships through ritual and culture making. This living creative expression is informed by Afro-Brazilian cosmology, Ancestral reverence and Ecology as we dance our prayers. The Rainbow Body Matrix offers a synergistic practice foundationally based on the four pillars of Sacred Movement, Sound, Meditation &amp; Activism. Through embodiment, we directly experience our Soul's potential and our ability to thrive through life's journey. The Rainbow Body Matrix is co-facilitated by mother-daughter duo, Vida Vierra and Dani Lunn. Together and individually, they are committed to serving their diverse and dynamic community for over 25 years in residence at The Electric Lodge in Venice, California.More about Rainbow Body Matrix: <a href="http://www.rainbowbodymatrix.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.rainbowbodymatrix.com</a>
