I am Khefista Shemzoumot, dance ethnologist on the Kem's path apprentice as a child of Meritah

In recent years, I've been working to develop the transmission of what resides in me and to find ways to facilitate access to the fundamental notion of harmonizing ourselves with the rhythms of the universe and the sacred essence of our dances so that we can better understand and live the reality of balancing our existence in constant becoming.

Today, an incomparable anchor manifests itself with the initiation that I am pursuing at the M'Tam temple of Kemetic philosophy and spirituality Het Kebtah (Earth Center) in Montreal.

I've been learning my trade mainly through intrinsic research along with workshops in dance, in addition to formal training in ethnology and ethnographic films, validated by increased fondamental knowledge of our ancestral traditions at the origin of humanity.

The energy to act, learn and produce quality, nothing less, continually propels my courage.

My vision has always been clear about sharing the power of dance for integral wellness.

I follow through against all odds.

My vitality is a gathering strength.

My commitment to create an environment of harmony, beauty, and fundamental joy to infinity is a source of motivation. 

I walk willfully to spread serenity, respect and the joyful courage of love.

Through fundamentally joyful and powerful self-care to self-conquest, I aspire to bring light rays and beams, for everyone of us to dance its full potential of total presence, always.

The kreyòl Crone Goddess name, Tilarenn Solèy, I received in an ever present daydreaming state. The mighty Goddess Nout, the deity that governs the month I was born in the kemetic sidereal calendar, bestows upon me all the wisdom of a mother and the awareness of protection and preservation for me to deploy in my path of becoming to truly live the name the earth recovered for me which is Khefista Shemzoumot.

Everything begins with a thought

It is in my gut, I'm engaged to follow the truth we all have within.  

I let the stream of my dance run freely. 

I open my soul and let go. 

I release my soul's vibrations to strengthen the bonds with the ancestors. 

Every word, every gesture is sent in the universe and dances with the stars. 

I understand that we must own ourselves.

My energy is set on my words to be always impeccable as I dance and express that I am what I came to share.

My dance to self-conquest essence

I am devoted to lead by example.

I align heart and soul, body, mind, and spirit to dare to shine brightly. 

Revolisyon kadansenou.com is for you to enjoy your total presence unconditionally, to appreciate, integrate and share freely.

For me, it is a space open to the whole world to gain momentum and lay the foundations of the universal international Sacred Essence of Our Dance Carrier Movement.

As We are One, our individual energy positively nurtured is the foundation for individual and collective sustainable growth.

Sharing the power of self-conquest dance

I am sharing on everything I know, everything I am learning about self-care to self-conquest and the connection to our roots, our ancestral legacies to be in total presence, freely.

We shall elevate our consciousness through dance spirit integrity. 

It is all about who we are and who we shall become. 

It is all about growing in strength and wisdom. 

No sorrow, no angriness, no resentment will ever have room to stay in this truly genuine place.

The dance floor is yours...

Following is an inspiring example of how Alison Désir dances unlike any. Unlike any simply means as a unique person. You can share your unique story too (here), Unlike Any.

My short bio

I dance to the rhythm of my heart and soul, my mind and spirit recognize the rhythm of my sacred essence.

I am a dance ethnologist apprentice by calling developed through life's imperative statements, practical training and self-directed learning. I am mostly a Kem's path apprentice as Meritah's child.

I proclaim to be a single mother by both conscious and unconscious desire. I claimed since my early teens to want children and no husband, all the while desiring a loving companionship.

I thrive to develop my talents to better serve us all under the necessity I see to dance our sacred essence and foster sustainable circles of individual and collective wellness in total health and fitness and integral wealth fiercely.

My dance is my absolute mean of expression, for as far as I can remember, it prompted me to live fully without restraint, despite how irrelevant and unvaluable the man and the woman through whom I swayed to this earthy world imprinted in me over the years.

I dance to the rhythm of my heart and soul, my mind and spirit recognize the rhythm of my sacred essence.

As Pearl Primus express it so well...

Hardly walking yet, I would defy whatever standed in my way to get to the dance at my paternal grand parents' house. As a teenager, I took Ballet Jazz lessons and dreamed further to dance with icones like Louise Lapierre, Eddy Toussaint, Alvin Ailey...

Everything begins with an intention. I understand that we must be our own selves. My intention is to follow the truth we all have within. I communicate in movements, to the rhythms of life breaths memories. | Khefista Shemzoumot | Ayiti la, Photo: Wesley Rigaud, 2015

I share my dance to self-conquest with open heart enlightened infinite ever conscious love. Instead of being at war on every front, I dance who I am to self-conquest.

I started my activity on the internet in September 2011. What I had and still have to say has always been inherently part of me, it seems. I first began to express it in 1992 in a French course as part of a professional training that I followed in secretarial work under the recommendations of my brother, even though I was more interested in the accounting program offered in the same institution.

In fact, the awakening first sparked in 1988 during my university studies in visual arts and French literature after failing in biology. It was a period, starting in 1986, when I tried to align myself with my childhood dreams.

I first undertook studies in biology to move on to general medicine and then pediatrics. Then, I chose to study visual arts and French litterature towards the teaching of the arts and children's book writting. I was taking parallel classes at the Ottawa School of Arts where I also carried out live model contracts to better incorporate the arts community.

At the same period of time, I also experienced several areas of performance arts at the Groupe de la Place Royale. Shortly after, in 1987, the great adventure began with Gwoup Kiskeya, an adventure that lasted 10 years.

The birth of my eldest son in 1989, led me to follow the strings of life to meet our basic needs, namely housing, food and finding the means to offer him the best possible education.

In this frenzy, my body issued warning signals with 4 episodes of physical exhaustion, in 1990, 1991, 1997 and 2005. I reacted drastically to the 5th episode of exhaustion in 2007 by reorienting myself towards my dreams with that of an entrepreneur, this time. I first branched out as a financial planning agent, an in-between to try and cover our basic needs to start.

In the meantime, my second son was born in 1995, expanding my small family unit to three.

Finally, the 6th episode of exhaustion being physical and mental in 2011 was quite devastating, leading to the ultimate 7th episode of exhaustion in 2013 being fundamentally mental.

I have worked for the last 7 years, respecting the inherent rhythm of the process, to access what dwells deeply in me in order to best materialize the notion that We are One.

Today, an unparalleled anchor presented itself with the initiation that I am pursuing at the M'Tam School of Kemetic Philosophy and Spirituality at the Het Kebtah (Earth Center) Montreal.

In 2007, a period of retrospections after my 4th episode of exhaustion, I put myself in a position between 3 choices:

1. Start entrepreneurship training with the objective of making a living from dance passion 
2. Go to Senegal for 2 months of intensive African dance immersed in the adventure
3. Join Investors Group as a Financial Planning agent in hopes of making money first.

Although I opted for financial planning, because of course there was an interest, it was far from not what inhabits me. Finance is not what makes me vibrate, feel alive, gives me that momentum of life where I feel I am. I have the desire and the ability to learn about finance, but no natural tendencies or talents. I saw usefulness in helping people while providing me with a springboard to help me propel myself towards the fulfillment of what really inhabits me.

I tended to put aside what came naturally to me and look for things to be recognized and valued by others publicly. I wonder if this is why I have invested so much in accounting, administration and finance. Of course I always had the pretext of wanting to feed my family.

I always felt this division between me and this other in me which took so much place in my head, while I remained very present in my body aligned with my authenticity.

I share my dance with open heart enlightened infinite ever conscious love.Instead of being at war on every front, I dance who I am to self-conquest.

My journey in self-conquest mode

I set my path to self-conquest to better embrace and own my total presence.

I embody self-care to self-conquest to advocate total health and fitness and instigate the revolution of love, respect and joy towards balance and integrity through dance spirit mindful total presence enlightenment.

Our dance is our inherent universal and timeless resource.

Wherever you are, whichever walk of life you travel, your dance is your natural quality of life foundation. 

Your dance carries the essence of your power to self-conquest for individual and collective well-being, anti-aging emotional and physical health in body and mind, material and spiritual freedom across dimension, time transcendence, and more...

The power of self-conquest is always accessible in vibrant self-care as we thrive to the rhythms of our profound being and propel ourselves to completely unlock the sacred essence of our dance legacy richness!

My dance to self-conquest keeps me consciously grounded, genuinely alert and vibrant, naturally blooming.

I dance to self-conquest, wherever I go, in everything I do.

I acknowledge that the journey is always worth it as long as we stay genuine in our essence and learn to take our place with integrity. I dance who I am to self-conquest!

This is a quest where we get barriers down. I dance who I am to self-conquest!

This is a journey where we fully endorse balance and harmony at every step and every move, feel the sacred essence of our dance to stir our vital energy, consciously present in every curve.

The sacred essence of my dance has been and will always be a vital source of inspirations, to create sustainable health and fitness and integral wealth.

Our dance in love, respect and joy means to dare to be always in all integrity, to nourish the timeless essence of our total presence towards universal rhythms of balance.

I choose to dance who I am to vibrate with all of our souls, dare to be always in all integrity, nourish the timeless essence of our greatness.

I choose to dance who I am to self-conquest so that we can better integrate the spiritual, cultural, social, political and economic revolution of our total presence with daily keen consciousness of each movement at every moment.

I share my dance to self-conquest with open heart enlightened infinite ever conscious love. Instead of being at war on every front, I dance who I am to self-conquest.
