A Movement Medicine Shamanic Journey at Blue Spirit
with Ya’Acov & Susannah Darling Khan
& Reuben Darling Khan | Haein Cho
medicine noun (in the context of Movement Medicine)
- A transformative influence arising from embodied movement, conscious awareness, and relational presence, which restores, strengthens, or realigns the individual with their inherent vitality, purpose, and belonging.
- A person’s unique contribution or gift, revealed and refined through movement, that nourishes both self and community when expressed in right relationship.
Usage note: In Movement Medicine, medicine is not a substance administered, but a living process cultivated, listened to, and danced into being.
There comes a moment when surviving is no longer enough.
When old stories cost more than letting them burn. When blame runs out of fuel. When the body knows it is time to rise. At the beginning of a new year, Phoenix Rising is a call into that moment.
A Movement Medicine journey for those ready to stop circling the same wounds and begin transforming lived experience into wisdom, presence, and power. Not by bypassing pain, but by alchemising it.
Movement Medicine is an invitation to rise from the ashes of your suffering and evolve a new story that dignifies who you are and strengthens your love for, and therefore action on behalf of, the web of life.
— Ya’Acov Darling Khan
Why Phoenix Medicine?
We all carry wounds. Personal, ancestral, cultural. The real question is not what happened, but what we do with what happened. Unmetabolised pain can quietly shape our lives, draining creativity and locking us into the exhausting drama of the Victim-Persecutor-Rescuer, all fuelled by the Hungry Ghost.
Phoenix medicine offers another way. A way that treats the past as raw material for the creative project of life. A dance that honours grief without turning it into identity, and restores dignity, agency, and embodied choice.
This work is for those done with blame, weary of self-betrayal, and curious about who they might become if they stepped out of the vicious circle and into the Medicine Circle of the Unbroken self.
The Journey
Through Movement Medicine practice, supported by yoga with Hae In Cho and the Fundamentals of Wellbeing (Reuben Darling Khan), you will learn how to work with the Phoenix Process, a powerful embodied shamanic tool for Soul Retrieval and Development.
• Turn past wounds into usable, life-strengthening medicine
• Step out of the drama triangle and into empowered, responsible and grounded presence
• Build resilience felt in the body, not just understood in theory
• Reconnect with your instinct, wild intelligence, and embodied truth
• Find an inner refuge, a place of nature unbroken within you
• Take home a powerful toolkit that will support you to dance with whatever life brings
Movement Medicine & the Phoenix
The phoenix sits at the heart of Movement Medicine for a reason.
Healing is not a return to how things were. It is a creative act. A conscious participation in becoming. Phoenix Rising invites you to meet the flames of Phoenix medicine to compost what no longer serves. To reclaim energy trapped in old stories. To dance at the centre of your circle with your heart online and your mind open.
Your Guides
Ya’Acov and Susannah Darling Khan, are the founders of Movement Medicine and authors of several books. They bring four decades of teaching experience, integrating shamanic lineage, somatic intelligence, and the traditions of ecstasis. Their work is precise, humane, and deeply empowering.
They are joined by Reuben Darling Khan, offering the fundamentals of wellbeing to support resilience and health, and Haein Cho, whose yoga teaching brings clarity, fluidity, and grounded support to the dancing body.
Together, they create a field that is safe enough to be real and strong enough to support transformation.
