~Meet Your Facilitators~
Faelan and Sharon met at a festival doing what they love. Both women share a deep commitment to music and dance as a spiritual practice, and are delighted to draw you into the transformational power of these art forms!
Sharon Knight
Internationally Touring Vocalist
Sharon has spent much of her life as a professional touring musician and vocalist. Her travels have taken her to castles and cafes, festivals and fairylands, steampunk realms and seaside chateaus, all to share the connecting power of song.
She has shared stages with Wardruna, Corvus Corax, Frenchy and the Punk, Faun, Stellamara, Wendy Rule, SJ Tucker, and many more. Her music is a style of Celtic Paganfolk she calls "Neofolk Romantique."
Sharon has been singing since childhood and believes wholeheartedly in the ability of song to rekindle our sense of enchantment with the world.
She has been a professional creative for most of her adult life, and loves to share the power of creative magic with others.
She also produces a pagan music and arts festival, Hexenfest.
Faelan Shiva
Internationally Touring Dancer
Faelan Shiva is an internationally known dancer, with specialized focus in American Fusion Belly Dance. After many years of traveling to teach and perform, she is currently focusing on developing Sacred Dance to integrate her 13 year dance career into her current spiritual work.
As a dancer (and sometimes vocalist and percussionist) she has been a solo artist, the director of Satinka Belly Dance, a member of Zoe Jakes' Coven Dance Company and House of Tarot and has performed with amazing bands such as Beats Antique, Stellamara, The Feldthouse Family Band, Arcana Music & Dance, Helm and more.
She has trained and studied hard to understand the way the human body moves, and how that can help each human fully embody themselves and embrace movement. She has certification as an instructor in 7 different dance and movement programs.
She is a Druid, Seer, Healer and Astrologer, and has dedicated this phase of her life to offering those gifts in service to others.

~What People are Saying~
I have been a student in Faelan’s dance classes for over ten years. In addition to being a talented, creative, and skillful dancer, Faelan is a talented, skillful, and caring teacher. She gives individual attention to each dancer, helping each person dance to the best of their ability and offering alternative movements to help individuals learn. With her understanding of anatomy and dance movement, Faelan offers tips on how to execute difficult techniques in ways that reduce the risk of injury. She encourages her students to listen to their own bodies and to move in a way that promotes their health and well-being. By her encouragement, she makes every student feel accepted and able to dance.
~Sandy Olliges, dance student
Having worked with both Sharon and Faelan I can say, unreservedly, that both of these powerhouses deliver the goods. Actually, they deliver the GREATS. Whatever these two offer will be painstakingly crafted, honed and tuned perfectly. It’ll be offered open heartedly, in the spirit of Giving, for the betterment of each participant and the world as a whole. And it’ll be two scoops of fun, besides. As I said, I’ve been on stage with both of these gorgeous souls, but I’ve never seen the two of them presenting as a TEAM. That mix of loving energies is not to be missed!
