Love is the answer. Now, what was the question?
~Derek O'Neill
Sai Ram Los Angeles, I’d like to take a moment to express how this year’s World Hoop Day in L.A. went beyond Amazing. Thank You Thank You Thank You for an incredible event. I can barely find the words to convey the pure of heart experience this celebration amassed to be. However, I know this thank you will be a long one as all of us at Hoopadelic, on behalf of the WHD organization, have many to thank.
Our focus at Hoopadelic was to generate as much money as possible for the WHD organizatio...

Hoopgasm - A Hoopadelic Hoopjam!
(events » community)
Friday, April 18, 2008 - 8:30 PM
Hoopgasm is a free-style evening hoop-jam for people to take flight into deeper states of meditation while in motion. Take this special opportunity to dress-up, get out and dance-dance-dance! Let loose during the week, hoop in a supportive environment, fine tune those moves you've been practicing, ask questions/observe/be inspired to inspire(!) in a spacious dance studio. This is an especially great opportunity for closet hoopers to gently hoop out of their shell and soar with a group of spirited people! Ideal for hoopers of all ages and skill levels to congregate and hoop your heart out! Space, sounds & sweets will be provided. If hoop classes were the "meat" of a meal, consider Hoopgasm the dessert course. This is a donation-based gathering that lasts 90 minutes. Your generous donations help to cover studio space and the time and preparation that goes into hosting this jam session. Please contact us in advance if you need a hoop.

Level 1 Hoop in Expansion Classes
(events » community)
Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 8:30 PM
Connect with your community of hoopers and accelerate in this energy expanding activity. No experience required for Level 1.
Level 1 Hoop in Expansion (H.I.E) is designed to build a foundation of hoop moves to build upon for hoopdancing. This first part introductory course will provide the tools and a solid foundation to learn a set of fundamental moves to gain a deeper understanding of the mind-body-hoop(er) relationship that will propel even the most novice of hoopers deeper into unlocking the dancer within! Also great for experienced hoopers who seek a weekly community to brush up on moves and immerse in fun-loving and inspiring energy!
The H.I.E modality is offered around exploration of the fundamentals of hooping, advancing in on-and-off-body movements in relation to our nine major energy centers, known as chakras, with the use of select music and focused touch-and-response techniques. The class comprises of six elements: focused bodywork, evocative music, guided breathing, expressive writing, group practice and a closing meditation.

Hoopgasm: Sunset Session this Friday!
(events » community)
Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 5:00 PM
Sai Ram Hoop Playmates!
Let's kick off this Cinco de Mayo weekend with a new Sunset Session for our Hoopgasm events! This is a fun twist to our studio based Hoopgasm. The "protocol" remains the same - dress-up, hoop-on, indulge in sweets, sounds, FUN, and it is still a donation appreciated gathering - but the space will be under our beautiful sky as the sun sets! We are in the process of investing in a generator (have one for sale?) so in future events we may bring you DJs and other live performers to tickle your ears and your hearts. I AM THRILLED to have access to the beautiful Eagle Rock Park perfectly located just off the 210 freeway at Figueroa (minutes from downtown, Pasadena, Glendale, Hollywood, Silver Lake and adjacent areas)!
THEME: red, white and green! In honour of, yes, Cinco de Mayo! Not to be confused with "Drinko de Mayo" which means no alcohol in the park please. =)
I will have hoops for use and for sale at your convenience. Please feel free to bring any other flow toys as well - juggling items, dance toys, etc - but please no fire hoops or other fire toys. =) If you have a mini iPod with music to share, we welcome that too!

Looking forward to hooping with Everyone!
Love Light & Hoopbliss,
Catherine

A PREMA AGNI™ HOOPGASM!
(events » community)
Friday, May 23, 2008 - 8:30 PM
Greetings Hoop Fanatics!
We will be hosting a special Hoopgasm this Friday night 5/23 from 8:30-10PM at Studio A Dance.
Please join us for a unique heart opening experience! Please RSVP.
As you know the Hoopadelic approach to hooping is rooted in the healing arts to create wholeness and global unity through dance, so on Friday May 23rd I will introduce a modality that I use that is simple and straightforward for anyone to utilize at anytime. We will begin our hoop-jam with a wonderful introduction, demo and use of the Prema Agni blessing, a modality channeled by Master Healer and Avatar Derek O'Neill. You will receive a demonstration on how to use the Prema Agni, have an opportunity to give and receive a Prema Agni, and then we'll hoop our hearts out, or, rather, we'll be hooping our hearts open! ; } The energy of the Prema Agni blessing assists the Receiver and Giver in allowing Love to flow in and out as needed.
The Prema Agni modality is a symbol that can be drawn by anyone on anyone interested in a heart-to-heart experience. It's simple, beautiful, effective and fun! This Hoopgasm is open to everyone and anyone who is and is not familiar with this blessing, so you do not have to be a healing arts practitioner, have had any previous experience in energy work, or a recognized healer in anyway to attend this Prema Agni hoop-jam.
What a great way to jump-start the weekend!
This session is not reserved just for "newbies" so for those of you who are familiar with Prema Agni come play with us too!
Derek O'Neill wishes all the Hoopers to "enjoy the love" as we come together. =)
If you would like more information about the Prema Agni Symbol please visit bornfreenow.com/premaagni.cfm
Love Light & Hoopbliss,
Catherine

Hellooo Lovely Hoopers!
This weekend I'll be hosting two Hoopgasms - double yaaay! This weekend holds a special place in my heart as it is in honor of my sister Christina who continued her Loving service in another dimension, so I would like to host an 80s Hoopgasm in celebration of her time spent here. =) She was an 80s baby and I feel a "Summer of 80s" themed celebration is called for! I think she would have found it hilarious!
Are you feeling it? I am! So please join us this Friday evening and Sunday afternoon at two locations:
Friday June 13th 8:30-10:00PM
Studio A Dance
::: Dress up like it's 1989 or worse! I mean, come in your best 80s party gear - rock-star, pop-star, leotard dancer, cartoon character (Gem & The Misfits anyone??) ;} :::
Directions & more info available at www.hoopadelic.com/scheduleofclass.htmlPlease RSVP
Sunday June 15th 3:00PM-SUNSET
Woodley Park
Please RSVP if you need a hoop
::: Dress up in your best 80's tennis outfit :::
Directions & more info available at www.hoopadelic.com/scheduleofclass.html***Your Love donations offered for the Sundaize Hoopgasm will go to the crew who makes Sundaize available to the community***
