Would you dance with me??? π»πΊπ»π₯β¨
πΈ .ca ππΌ at Julyβs AI Artist Community Meetup! π€π½β¨
Thank you for having me again ππ« ππΌ
Interacting with the audience is one of my favourite aspects of performing π it can be scary not knowing how people will react or if I am making them uncomfortableβ¦ but thatβs a big part of what this character .ofthevoid is all about:
Iβm pushing at the edges of my comfort zone, and inviting the audience to do the same π§ββοΈβ¨
I read peopleβs body language & energy, and if they seem open, I approach πβ¨
Sometimes I am more brave and bold with interactions π other times I just want to be seen & admired πΈπ½β¨
Thanks for dancing with meee! π€ I had so much fun! πβ¨
Swipe 2 step thru the PORTAL β¨
These last few days have been MAJOR portal vibes for meβ¦ π₯β¨ & hereβs me manifesting THE EXACT VIBE a week before at the Summer Solstice Vortex party, hosted by !π₯πππ¬οΈβ¨
Thank you for capturing the moment ! ππΌπ₯° and for gathering us all together to celebrate & connect! π

Last week I had the absolute JOY of visiting the Templeton Girls Club as a special guest! π₯°π
I performed & shared my story as an artist who used to think I wasnβt good enough (for SO LONG π©), to now getting paid $350 for a 15 minute set! π€―π₯β¨
Itβs honestly the kind of story that I WISH I couldβve heard when I was a teenager! π₯Ήπ (crying as I write this tbh π)
You can truly do whatever you want in this life, as long as you put in the time & effort to develop your craft, and you BELIEVE in yourself β€οΈβπ₯ youβre golden baby! πβ¨
Of course, truth be told, Iβm not a full time artist- but that doesnβt make my story any less valuable. π
HUGE THANK YOU to & .deacon for this opportunity to share & inspire the next generation of artists & creators! ππΉβ¨
P.S. the girls all did a fabulous job creating hula hoop choreography on the fly too!!! πππΌππΌ so fun!

Happy Easter my sweet children π£πβ¨
Give thanks & praiseβ¦
For SHE has risen ππΌβ¨
Out of the depths
Out of the
V o i d π€β¨
But then again, still in the voidβ¦
Veiled behind silk & tassels
She IS the voidβ¦ π€
She isβ¦
The MOTHER of the V O I D π€β¨
Of all things, both light & dark
Pleasant and disturbing,
Expanding & contractingβ¦ π
Lean into it hunny π€πβ¨
Embodying Holy Mother Energy ππΌβ¨
Going to Catholic school thru elementary & high school really influenced the way I carried myself for the next decade.
Over the course of 12 years, the church thrust SO much programming onto meβ¦ Innocent child that I was π
And as a high achieving Virgo, constantly striving for perfection, for the highest ideal in every aspect⦠well, I struggled.
I tried SO HARD to BE GOOD in the eyes of God.
This ideal of the Virgin Mary, this holy mother, somehow untainted by the sins of carnal pleasuresβ¦
I tried so hard to embody that, and I felt so much GUILT and SHAME when I βfailedβ. (And failure was inevitable it seemed, hello original sin ππ©)
But Iβve reclaimed it in a whole new way now. β¨
I can see so clearly how I do embody this Holy Mother energy.
How I nurture the children I work with, and my friends and loved ones with a LOVE that flows forth strong and pure β€οΈβπ₯
And I can see how the Holy Mother energy is nothing, it is INCOMPLETE, without sexuality π₯β¨
I can finally see that the 2 βopposing forcesβ are actually not conflicting. Embracing your sensual nature helps you embrace your own divinity!
They are 2 sides of the same coin.
The Virgin Mary
And Mary Magdalene
I wouldnβt want to be one without the otherβ¦
And I COULDNβT fully be one without the other.
My sexuality doesnβt make me sinful, it makes me HUMAN.
AND it makes me a CREATOR π«β¨
I donβt just mean the ability to give birth - although that is AMAZING, obviously!
My body and spirit are constantly creating life, creating art, every second of every day. I am a manifestation machine β¨
I bow down to the most holy temple of temples I have ever knownβ¦
My sacred vessel, swirling with sacred geometry and frequencies my feeble mind can barely comprehend ππ§ β¨
My body is sacred.
But not the way the church taught me.
My body is sacredβ¦
My body IS my church ππΌπ«β¨

I AM A MOVEMENT MEDICINE WOMAN π₯β¨
Allow me to explain, if youβre curious as to what I mean. (And Iβm sure you are)
When I am dancing, I am offering medicine to myself. I am allowing my body to express whatever I am feeling. I am moving emotions and energy through my body. I am alchemizing my shadows and fears. I am embodying a bigger more free version of myself that I wish to become - THAT I DO BECOME via DANCE π₯β¨
When I am performing I am offering medicine to those who WATCH. When I am really FEELING IT π₯ you can feel it too.
I know you do β¨ even if youβre not sure what youβre feelingβ¦ my movement makes your brain stop thinking it makes you drop into the present, makes you forget what youβve been ruminating on (wasnβt even important probably.)
It makes you feel like moving.
My movement MOVES YOU π₯
When I am training, I am giving myself medicine. I am listening, moving with clear intention and love. I move slowly, and I push hard, not in a masochistic way, but in the way that gets the blood flowing. I send my life force π©Έ to the places that need it most. To the places that were so disconnected they couldnβt even cry out for my helpβ¦ I bring dead muscle tissue back to LIFEππ¦β¨ I create new connections β¨
When I am teaching you, in classes, workshops, 1 to 1, I am teaching you how to give yourself that movement medicine, in whatever capacity. I am breaking it down, feeding it to you, in hopes that it helps you feel more ALIVE, like it has helped me feel more alive β€οΈβπ₯
That is my mission here ππΌβ¨
To spread MY brand of Movement Medicine far and wide.
Across the universe β¨
With love, gratitude, grace & devotion,
~ Orbit Princess πΈπ½β€οΈβπ₯β¨

That Gemini full moon tho hey? π€ͺπ₯ππ’π€‘π½ππ£β¨
Definitely not boring lolβ¦
Currently working on some big physical shifts,takes up most of my energy but I feel the progress. And I keep pushing furtherβ¦ Feels like Iβm breaking in my body, like how youβd break in a pair of doc martens you know?
Takes some time, and it kinda sucks at first. Awakening deep weak muscles β¨
Itβs probably THE neatest journey Iβve ever been on in this life so far. And itβs not just physical, emotional and spiritual moves with it πππ itβs all way more connected than the textbooks tried to lead me to believe π I knew it felt off back then in university but I had no idea of the journey that
awaited me,
When I began connecting more deeply with my body ππΌβ¨
Pls enjoy this throwback from the time I performed in .zvarog βs fashion show! β€οΈβπ₯

Letβs slow things down a bit, shall we? π₯β¨
What if dance class didnβt feel like a struggle to keep up? πβ¨
What if it felt more like dipping into a hot bath? π₯β¨
What if we really eased into our bodiesβ¦
A mindful, intentional, chill vibe Sunday evening for you to feel yourself π
No rush
No pressure
No judgement
Just slow sensual love that flows like honey π― β¨

When was the last time you THREW A TANTRUM?! π€π‘π€¬π₯
Iβm serious!
π₯ When was the last time you actually expressed your anger out LOUD?
π₯ When was the last time you FELT anger in your body?
π₯ When was the last time you let anger MOVE THRU YOU???
π₯ Listen up, cuz this is VERY IMPORTANT especially NOW with all the atrocities happening in our world π
There are MANY reasons to be ANGRY right now! π₯
We are conditioned from a young age not to express our anger loudly or physically.
Especially girls!
But you know what?! π₯π£
Repressed anger is NOT GOOD FAM π
π½ββοΈ
I work in a school (see photo.. lol)
And you know what I do when kids throw tantrums?
I LET THEM.
I donβt get mad at them for being mad.
I hold space for them to kick and scream.
I protect their head when they try to hit it against a wall.
I make sure everyone is safe, then I wait it out, as the kiddo releases all their anger and frustration.
And you know what I tell them?
Itβs OK to feel angry!
Expressing your anger is HEALTHY!!!π₯π₯π₯
It doesnβt need to be a shameful thing!!!
As long as youβre expressing it in a healthy way! β€οΈβπ₯
Like for example, by going to Fβ¨β¨ING SASS CLASS! Bβ¨TCH! ππ½ππΌπ₯
COME FEEL YOUR SACRED RAGE AT SASS CLASS!
LET IT MOVE THROUGH YOU π₯
In order to release it, first you must fully FEEL IT! π₯β¨
So come embody it in a safe, fun, supportive space! β€οΈβπ₯β¨

Hiatus but make it * c u t e * πβ¨ππΈ
(A research report)
Yeah so I took a lil IG hiatus last week, still on an unstructured gradual re-entry program (designed organically, moment by moment by me lol π).
Itβs beenβ¦ π’π’π’ up and down, as life always is. But I definitely noticed the dopamine addiction, wanting to check my phone then remembering thereβs nothing to check.
The next thing I noticed was the spaceβ¦
The space expanding in my brain and in my body.
Sometimes it felt luxurious, sometimes terrifyingβ¦
Staring into the void can be like that πβ¨
You never know what youβll encounter when u lean into the void that is inner space πͺβ¨
Sometimes poetry flows forth, sometimes fears and heavy feelings π€
Be it light or dark, it is all sacred and it is all for you π
NO ONE else gets to explore your inner space⦠a whole universe for you to swim through.
Are you hanging out at the waterβs surface? Or are you diving in deep?

WHY SASS? ππ½ββοΈπ₯
According to my research, the word sass has negative connotations.
The word βimpudentβ comes up: not showing respect for another person.
HOWEVERβ¦ the word has grown to develop a positive side, it suggests confidence, liveliness, or in my opinionβ¦ fuego π₯
Itβs showing respect for YOURSELF by refusing to be silenced or made smaller π₯
To me, reclaiming sass as a positive word is like reclaiming my power.
Reclaiming all the things Iβve been conditioned to suppress.
Being loud, sexy, messy, confident, outspoken, unfiltered, unapologetic, BOLD π₯
TAKING UP SPACE π₯
without guilt or shame.
THATβS what weβre embodying in SASS CLASS π₯
And that list isnβt even complete- Do you have any other ideas to add to the sass bucket???

Hello lovely humans! I put together a little demo reel to showcase Orbit Princess in TEACHER MODE! πβ¨
So here she is, rocking the leadership role, teaching what she loves most π
Orbit Princess - Movement Teacher & Facilitator Compilation of footage from 3 of my original workshops:"Hoop Sass Class" - taught at Radtastic Hoop Retreat, 2022"Harvest Moon Hoop Circle" - taught online, ...
... I'm just like you π±π±β¨
You could even say, I am you β¨
Back when I chose this username in 2016, one thing I thought about was not wanting to paint myself into a corner.
I didn't want to feel confined to only post hoop content. I wanted a name that was all encompassing of who I am as an artist. I wanted a name that gave me space to grow...
And looking back, 7 years later, I must say...
I nailed it ππ«
Thanks bb Orbie P π

Moon Prism POWER! πππ
Sending out a massive π THANK YOU!! π to everyone who helped make this Sailor Moon Hoop Workshop & Jam a reality πππ
Thank you for such a dreamy collab you are a FORCE πππ
Thank you for making the posters of my dreams & supporting my vision .grove πππ
and THANK YOU MAMA for sewing my costume not once but TWICE πππ & for always believing in me, supporting me, & loving me I love you! ππππππ
Here's pt 1 of a note I meant to post before the workshop... better late than never ππ:
When I was a tiny shy child, I used to watch Sailor Moon on TV. I think I enjoyed it so much because I could relate to Serena β she was a total crybaby! But she was also the leader and could kick Negaverse butt!... and get caught up daydreaming about crushes π I had the crybaby and romantic parts down, but it took me about 20 years to start cultivating the leader in myself. Letting go of old fears and insecurities and starting to truly believe in myself has been one of the most transformative processes of my life so far. Little Marina would have never guessed how much hula hoops would help in that process! Hooping made me feel like a beautiful space princess, powerful and confident, exploring new realms of movement and flow. It was only a matter of time before that mindset started to shape my whole identity. I chose the handle ββ from the very start, with no doubt I could live up to the name - nothing felt more right. And you bet Orbit Princess was partly inspired by a nostalgia for sailor moon!
I wish to share some of Sailor Moonβs simple yet timeless wisdom with you all through this event, and hopefully inspire you to believe in your own magic β for that is what makes it real. πβ¨
Friday night was EPIC - Sailor Moon themed workshop, DJ set by ChachΓΈu AND a full moon!!! ππ«πβ¨
The energy was amazing!
Check out the full set here!
Plus Sailor moon visuals, and hooping by yours truly
