SAMA - A Sufi word meaning - to gather & listen to religious poetry
that is accompanied by ecstatic dance or other ritual.
My dear sister, it is my honor to invite you to gather your voices in divine union.Let us remember the power of our essence. From silence we are born, from silence sound is sourced. The source of a woman is the threshold of life & all creation. Our voice is the most intimate pathway to connect to the divine. When we join our voices together, we leave an imprint for the women who came before us and will come after us. We sing for those who were silenced. We wear our hair long for those who were killed for doing so. We dance for ancestors to return from their long rest, & rejoice in the reclamation of the sacred feminine with us.
I welcome you to “Temple of Sama,” your temple of ancient remembrance.

TESTIMONIALS
Jiaii Rin, Japan
"Although, it is a voice training session, personally speaking, it is more than that. In today’s session, I explored more on practicing the following concepts: releasing my own self-judgment , feeling safe to explore , more relaxation with my voice muscles, and being able to be more in a meditative state.Also, I purely feel Dominique’s voice is so beautiful. When I practice and hear her voice with my eyes closed, I feel like I am surrounded in beauty. Just hearing her say one sound Is so beautiful! I just feel happy hearing her! "

"Dominique's energy radiates with acceptance and love. She is truly a gifted Ceremonialist with a talent for creating safe and beautiful spaces for connection. Her offerings are a special and sacred experience.
After attending my first Ceremony with her, I knew I had found the safe sisterhood and connection I was long searching for. I immediately felt welcomed and supported. I arrived home feeling renewed with excitement and joy, and I couldn’t wait to attend her next Ceremony.
I was rather closed off and insecure prior to discovering Dominique's Ceremonial magic, which is powerful yet gentle. Her Ceremonies helped me open up, trust, recognize and connect to my own inner divine magic. Her presence inspires confidence, connection, support, encouragement, depth, growth, release and freedom to take place. I am so grateful to have found her along my path. She has become such a light in my life and facilitator of self empowerment."

"I am SO grateful I met Dominique. Her Ceremonies have been such a beautiful and special time to connect with myself and other women, with the support of being vulnerable, loved, and emotionally heal. The support and energy cultivated during her Ceremonies is like nothing I’ve experienced. You come as you are and you will be accepted and loved as you are.
I love how Dominique creates a container for the women to stay connected even when we are not in Ceremony. She continues to support and hold us accountable for the things we manifested during our sacred time together.
There’s nothing like spiritually connected feminine energy.
Being at Dominique's Retreat has helped me release many things that were no longer serving me in a healthy & supportive way. I’ve met many incredibly strong and beautiful women I have a forever connection with.
Venus Rising helped me find my power and my voice. I cannot say enough amazing things about this woman!! She is a powerful beautiful spirit, and I’m so beyond grateful that she’s in my life.
I HIGHLY recommend attending Dominique's Ceremonies and Retreats. You will be welcomed and surrounded by acceptance, love and support through your journey. AHO!"
