is an experimental container for Melissa Wu + friends to bring artists together to journey through curating experiences to explore healing through the body from a spiritual, scientific, experimental and artistic lens through different holistic healing practices, performances and ceremonies to find inspiration from wholeness beyond their suffering as a form of activism to regain sovereignty and pleasure in our collective human experience, from oligarchy back to the people.
It all starts with how we feel within
Seasonal media share from 828 Media
Triptych is the story of the director's year in quarantine immediately following the loss of her partner. Comprised of three, wordless, danced vignettes, each taking place at different time periods in the same victorian mansion, it depicts the journey of loss and yearning, spiritual awakening, and human transformation.

Join Melissa Wu on a journey of a deep somatic nervous system clearing and reset with Spring energy at its Peak! Marking the midway between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice. Enter the adventure with your cells through a curation of movement, sound and breath. Get in touch with the energetic centers in your chakra system as you get guided through an embodiment practice of movement meditation. We will be using kundalini yogic breathwork and chants to warm up and activate the meridian system, followed by a guided movement meditation practice to release stored data and information, serving as a channel to tune into the messages of the body using movement as the language to reveal and clear subconscious blockages. Rest into a sequence of sound in relaxation to help the body and mind to integrate and reset.

Melissa infuses her research and studies as a professional dancer in movement, kinesiology, anatomy, psychology, reiki, biology and her own lived experience with eastern medicine growing up in Hong Kong, with the systematic teachings of Kundalini Yoga and Gong healing. As a survivor of domestic violence who suffered from chronic anxiety, depression, PTSD and addictions, Melissa aims to share practical tools and hold space for one's healing and elevation, to propel beyond sufferings and alchemize one’s life circumstance into its fullest creative expression. Growing up with the influences of her family's deep and diverse relationships in the esoteric; tarot, Western & Chinese astrology, Taoism, Feng Shui, I-Ching, and spiritual teachings and traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, Southern Buddhism and Catholicism, Melissa developed her own intuitive ways of learning, sharing and applying different practices and healing modalities from experiences in her own healing journey in a modern world.
