unlearning fear through voice + dance
spirit lab academy
spirit lab academy
is a down-to-earth, hands-on
unschool for the soul.
we do not teach you who to be;
we hold containers for you to
remember who. you. are.
spirit lab’s flagship event is called
T H R I V E. it’s our playground!
a living laboratory where you have creative freedom to unleash your voice, move your body, make visual art, and ride the waves of the collective unconscious with people who care.
here, we treat sound, color, light, and space as playful tools to shape in real-time, using our real emotions
— whether somber and quiet or wild and ecstatic —
they are raw materials for our courageous and compassionate research.

the spirit lab community is a beautiful ecology of kinship—a warm community of artists, creative souls, and fully feeling creatures who treat each other with deep respect and kindness. We come together like a big family to play, heal, and celebrate the unique gifts, sound, and movement that everyone brings to the table.
