An exciting collaboration between Movement in Worship, Psalm Drummers and Images of Light!

Essence Colorado will explore the dynamics of worship and outreach integrating movement, percussion and engaging with the supernatural realm. We’ll be connecting land, people and the Holy Spirit through worship, intercession, the

prophetic, dream interpretation and more.

Building on a devotional and Biblical foundation the school splits into three training streams, 'Movement', 'Percussion' and ‘Spirit-Led Outreach’. Each participant will choose which stream they will do for the week, but they’ll also get a small taster of the other streams.

The 'Movement Stream’ includes an exploration of moving in worship individually and corporately, the use of props, intercessory and prophetic movement. All participants will be prepared for moving on the streets.

You will need to bring suitable clothing for moving inside and outdoors – we suggest stretchy pants, long tops and sturdy dance shoes or tennis shoes. Flags and props will be provided, but you are also welcome to bring your own.

Through group work, the 'Percussion Stream’ explores worship and prayer using rhythm. You will be challenged and helped to become more creative in using your playing to connect with God and to communicate Him to others.

Students are asked to bring a medium drum (djembe, dumbek or Floor Tom – no snares), a shaker sound (egg, soft shaker, rain stick or tambourine), a wood sound (clave, wood block) and a bell sound (cow bell, go go bell, triangle or chime). If needed, we can offer a medium drum rental (details in cost info).

The ‘Spirit-Led Outreach Stream’ is grounded in understanding the Father Heart of God for the world and will explore creative ways through which we can engage with the culture of today and impart His love. Through dynamic teaching and practical activation, participants will learn about going deeper in the prophetic, the realm of the Spirit, biblical dream interpretation, and ministering to the human spirit with the purpose of incorporating these expressions of ministry in an outreach setting.

These streams merge together to take worship, intercession and the prophetic out into the community. If you opt for the Movement or Percussion Stream please bring dark colored pants and bright one-color t-shirts to wear when we go out. Those on the Spirit-Led Outreach Stream will wear everyday clothing when we go out.

This is a transformative week for the students and teachers. We are excited to see what God will do in and through us. One of the highlights is always the community that is built throughout all aspects of the week including the fun social evenings!

Who Can Come?

No previous experience in dance, percussion, the prophetic or outreach is needed as experienced teachers will be facilitating the week.

The minimum recommended age is 12 years, and there’s no maximum age! Please contact us if you have children under 12 years who would like to attend. All under 16s need a participating guardian with them who will be responsible for helping them participate and engage in the week’s activities.

What Content Will Be Covered?

All events will be facilitated by the teachers.

On Saturday August 6th, we’ll be finishing off the week by joining Vinelife’s “Love in the Park” team on outreach near the Pearl Street Mall. The outreach will include a drum circle with movement, face-painting, a Spirit Dream Booth with spiritual readings and dream interpretation and community art…it will be a fun and exciting time!
