This musical immersion is a conscious touch and sensory soundscape experience that includes theta & beta waves, solfeggio frequencies, binaural beats, saxophone, scent and vocals.
In past years at the KwaZulu Spirit Festival SENSORIUM has been a highly effective, multi-sensory experience, helping the audience move into deep relaxation with noticeable benefits for the nervous system and vagal toning.
The innovative SECRET SENSORIUM experience in 2026 at the KwaZulu Spirit Festival becomes an even more transformative experience, by using headphones this year.
This organic acoustic therapy with digital brainwave entrainment, takes you into an even deeper relaxation and nervous system healing experience in 2026
Somatic polyvagal relaxation has been scientifically shown to improve sleep, mood, libido and ability to communicate and relate to others.
Headphones also give you acoustic privacy, helping your brain switch off to anything else happening around you, which takes you deeper into this meditative state.
And that’s not all.
In 2026, we are including new music and frequency healing chimes that interpret the internal frequencies and rhythms of plants!
Through new musical recorders and sensors that read the life signals and frequencies of plants, we can convert these recordings into the instrumentation of actual musical notes audible to the human ear.
These recordings include the song of the Banyan Tree, the tree of souls, the walking root trees, and the shrubs and flowers of KwaZulu-Natal.
By including this new music and guided conscious touch, we are using even more of our senses in meditative musical space.
These techniques help us connect to nature and earth and ground us in new ways to the planet, which we all need more than ever with the world events unfolding recently.
This plant music, which we can finally hear adapted to frequencies the human ear can interpret as music, increases the “magic” of this experience.
As Arthur C Clarke said “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
Scientifically, the true magic of this musical experience lies in its whole-brain synergy. Digital binaural beats work with the brainstem and cortical electrical rhythms, while the organic, acoustic beauty of the human voice and saxophone targets the emotional centre of the limbic system.
Creating effortless resonance through so many more of our senses in such a beautiful, vibrational and deeply relaxed way.
By engaging the brain digitally, acoustically, and emotionally all at once, this sensory experience promotes neuroplasticity—helping to build new, permanent neural pathways that train your nervous system to return to a baseline of peace more easily in the future.
But wait! There’s more!
This year will also include a complimentary conscious circle at the end of the Secret Sensorium immersion to help you integrate your experience, with facilitation provided by Anne-Marie & Tim to guide you back into your body, answer any questions you may have, and take your time after the experience to move back into the rest of the festival’s offerings.
We hope to soothe and regenerate your ability to tap into your own magic, especially if you’ve been running on empty or been stressed beyond your capacity to cope.
This year we hope to remind you of the healing power and magic of expanding conscious awareness into more of the 34 senses.
This year, we hope to help you regenerate and increase your nervous system’s capacity for dealing with the stressors of modern life.
This year, let Secret Sensorium share the magic of sound, breath and conscious touch with you, in an immersive group experience through your somatic senses!
Sensorium is the brainchild of Anne-Marie Clulow-Visser and Tim Visser.
Anne-Marie is an award-winning vocalist and performer who also plays the saxophone
Some of her career highlights include “Phantom of the Opera”, “Cats”, “Sweeney Todd”, “ Beauty and the Beast” and performances with South African Supergroup Ballyhoo in the Sun City Superbowl.
With Tim having a career that has included running live events, sound engineering, documentary editing and interactive streaming, their combined talents have created a dynamic and immersive sensory sound experience in the SENSORIUM events that they create together.
Their other work includes hosting retreats and events at Elysium Sky, their ocean view retreat centre nestled on the beach in KwaZulu-Natal.
Saturday and Sunday at KwazuluSpirit – A Journey of Heart and Soul Aligned Living.
You are a wave. You are a rhythm. You are a rippling movement.In the sacred dance of life.
Sacred SoulDance calls you to:
Root into your body, rise into your light. Move as Love in Motion.
Dance SoulBeing into the world. As we listen with our bodies, we move to soften, to breathe, to let life move us back into ourselves. Here, movement becomes remembering, sound becomes gentle medicine and your (pr)essence matters more than performance.
From a previous magazine article.
Let us, for a moment, imagine living in a state of being that is no longer animated by old programming and external pressure but is moved by heart wisdom and soul resonance in an alchemical energetic formula. Everything in the Universe is energy. This energy moves in waves. Waves form patterns. Patterns create rhythms. Rhythms shape cycles which begin and end, creating change. Life is rhythm. And you, too, are rhythm – a moving, living, breathing dance of energy in motion.
Accessed through the heart and activated in the body, SoulBeing is a felt experience, in the breath, in the silence, in the movement. Whether you are just beginning your journey or have travelled far along the path of awakening, SoulBeing meets you exactly where you are – with love, with presence and with an experience meant for your highest good in that moment. As we reflect, soften and lean into this vibration of beingness, we begin to see that our evolution follows a sacred flow: from history to mystery, from doing into being and from being to soul embodiment. This is a path from separation to oneness, from certainty to awe and wonder. It is a shift from attachment and control to letting go and dancing with conscious co-creation through open heart-led awareness, intuitive soul-aligned choices, conscious love-aligned words and actions.
This journey is not a linear one. It spirals, it returns, it deepens with every turn as we are invited to live more fully, more freely, and more soulfully. The dance with mystery calls us to show up in all our humanity – emotionally, mentally, physically – letting go of the weight of history through softening the heart, stilling the mind and seeking connection with spirit. Life invites us to remember that our human experiences, all of them from challenges to triumphs, are a part of our soul’s curriculum. How we show up and do anything is how we do everything and to be the full expression of who you are means acknowledging a universal truth: that change is inevitable, but growth is our conscious choice. When we soften our attachment to fixed thoughts, dissolve rigid structures and let go of emotional habits, we dissolve and re-imagine ourselves, not as static beings but as fluid expression of becoming. Like the nymph living in a watery underworld becomes a luminescent dragonfly, we too transform, evolving from one realm to another.
Awareness in the mind alone is not enough. True transformation begins when we turn inwards and pay attention to the stories unfolding between the head and the heart. This inward shift leads us into the realm of Human Being – a deeper, more intimate journey into the subconscious layers of self: our beliefs, assumptions, judgments and emotional conditioning. As we sense the subtle undercurrents of emotion and habitual reactions in the body, we open the doorway to emotional freedom and heart energy mastery.
It is in this realm, the space of introspection and insight, that we meet the intelligence of the heart. We learn to understand our own energy, to feel our internal rhythms, our emotional waves that guide us from within. Through this understanding, we awaken the ability to live with intention, to shape our energy not from fear and reactivity, but empowered by conscious choice and a deep desire to grow in our humanity.
And then, we are called beyond. Beyond history, beyond the inward landscape, into what can only be felt, lived and trusted moment to moment. Here, we live into the unknown, the expansion of the universe, the mystery. It is not about arriving at a final truth but about dancing with life itself. This is “SoulBeing.” We awaken the wisdom spark of both heart and soul, allowing spirit to meet flesh fully. It is here that attention and intention become vibrational tools – guides that allow us to shape our lives in alignment with the deeper and higher intelligence that flows through all things.
In this continuous unfolding, our relationship with life transforms, cycling through layers of awareness.
Where we once held the belief that Life happens to me, we begin to feel the truth that Life flows through me, alive in our hearts, shaped by our (pr)essence and intention. And perhaps, we come to embody the knowing that Life is happening as me, an internal mystery school of Being, a remembering of our connection to and expression of source. And when we follow the intuitive nudges to act on our highest joy, to the best of our ability, without trying to control how things unfold, we align ourselves vibrationally with the cosmic intention of…
SoulDance — Love in Motion, where Love moves and life dances through you.
SoulDance calls you to root into your body, rise into your light, and move as Love in Motion.
In this space, we listen with our bodies, allowing movement to soften, breathe, and guide us back into ourselves. Movement becomes remembering, sound becomes gentle medicine, and your (pr)essence matters more than performance.
SoulDance is a living exploration of form and freedom, body and spirit, structure and flow. Music, movement, and voice combine in a subtle alchemy, creating a field of resonance that gently recalibrates your vibration and awakens your inner frequency. Step by step, breath by breath, you experience the transformative medicine of these energies — a quiet, embodied awakening that flows through body, heart, and mind.
There is no choreography to master, no right way to move. Instead, we explore what it feels like to trust the wisdom of the body and the intelligence of life moving through us. Here, the personal softens into the universal, and the dancer becomes the dance with life flowing through them.
Trusting, trusting… cha cha cha 🧡
About Liz
Through SoulDance, Liz invites people into an experience of Love in Motion.
For over forty years, music, movement, and song have been central threads in her life. What began as a love of performing gradually became something deeper — a pathway of listening to the body, the heart, and the quiet intelligence within movement, music, and voice.
Over time, the need for performance softened as the power of presence and (pr)essence revealed itself. Expression became medicine — a living field of vibration and frequency that can transform, recalibrate, and awaken from within. Through SoulDance, Liz offers this alchemy to others, guiding participants into their own embodied experience.
Her sessions blend structure and freedom, creating a welcoming environment where people can soften, explore, and rediscover the joy of moving as themselves. Through music, movement, and voice, Liz weaves a living conversation between body, breath, and life itself — reminding us all that we are not separate from the world around us.
We are the dancer. We are the dance. We are life, remembering itself.

Join Duncan Rice on Saturday and Sunday on the Beach Shala at KwazuluSpirit Fest 2026 and allow yourself to be held by the rhythm of the breath, the grounding of the postures and the quiet power of meditation.
These are more than classes — they are an invitation to return to yourself, to reconnect with your inner stillness and to step into the festival renewed, centred and inspired.
Rooted in ancient Indian tradition, Duncan’s teaching offers a rare blend of authenticity, gentleness and depth. His classes invite you to slow down, reconnect and rediscover the quiet intelligence of your own body and breath.
Duncan Rice has spent many years studying and practising Yoga, with all of his formal Yoga and meditation training taking place in India at some of the oldest and most respected institutions in the world. Yoga is also part of his heritage – his father learnt Hatha Yoga in Kolkata in the 1940s and ’50s and taught throughout his life, remaining vibrant and healthy well into his eighties. Duncan’s own training includes traditional Hatha Yoga at Kaivalyadhama, the Sivananda institutions, and Kriya Yoga meditation in Rishikesh. He also completed studies in Naturopathy at Ananda Nagar and Ayurveda with Kaivalyadhama. Rooted in ancient teachings, he believes Yoga nurtures the body, mind, intellect and soul. He teaches all levels and has a particular love for exploring how posture and controlling the breath prepare the mind for meditation, which he sees as the heart and ultimate purpose of Yoga. These special KwazuluSpirit sessions will guide you through the foundational pillars of Hatha Yoga – asana, pranayama and meditation – woven together as a single, transformative experience. Through mindful posture work, you’ll awaken strength, mobility and spaciousness in the body. Through conscious breath control, you’ll learn to steady the nervous system and cultivate inner clarity. And through meditation, you’ll be invited into the stillness that lies beneath the noise of daily life – the place where balance, insight and peace naturally arise.
Duncan teaches with warmth and accessibility, making the practice meaningful for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. His approach honours Yoga as a holistic path, one that rejuvenates mind, body and soul and gently guides us back to our true nature.
