Ceremonial Myth-Making for Bioregional Regeneration
In times of unraveling, we are called to remember our shared humanity and cultivate radical hope for a more harmonious world.
REGENESIIS is that hope in action—a living ritual where art, ceremony, and community become pathways of renewal.
Rooted in both ancient and contemporary ritual technologies, REGENESIIS bridges the sacred and the creative, offering a multisensory rite that grounds hope, vision, and aligned action.
This 90-minute experience is both architected and emergent. Participants are gently guided through a living landscape of sound, movement, and ceremony—co-creating a collective prayer for Earth.
Through collective prayer, visionary storytelling, expressive movement, breathwork, and live multimedia performance, REGENESIIS invites communities into a shared act of myth-making—envisioning, embodying, and co-weaving a more beautiful world into form.
Cultural & Ecological Relevance
Cascadia is a place of vast ecological intelligence and cultural diversity, standing now at a pivotal threshold. While restoration efforts strengthen ecosystems, food systems, and economies, the soul of the region calls for cultural renewal.
Without story, ritual, and myth, ecological repair cannot root in lasting ways. REGENESIIS answers this call—tending to the narrative, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of regeneration.
Objectives
Unite diverse populations around shared values and collective vision
Cultivate emotional engagement and mythic resonance around regeneration.
Offer pathways to alchemize grief into creative energy.
Activate collective dreaming and shared cultural vision.
Generate mythic content to ripple outward through media and memory.
Strengthen kinship with more-than-human worlds through embodied ritual.
Artistic Framework
Drawing from ritual theatre, community ceremony, and expressive arts therapy, REGENESIIS transforms performance into a participatory world creation through:
Guided visionary breath work
Immersive multimedia performance (sound, puppetry, projection, movement)
Ritual choreography and altar activation
Animate set design, wearable art, and puppetry
Guided toning and collective soundscapes
Real-time participant prayer contributions via shared mic stations
Performance architecture
Participants are welcomed into a sacred space with elemental altars and ceremonial invocation. Grief is named, prayers are spoken, and the collective is guided through a breath journey to envision the healed world they long for — and what it takes to bring it to life.
As the vision unfolds, the space comes alive with projected images, soundscapes, and movement. Performers rise to embody the collective prayers — dancing the dreams of regeneration, justice, beauty, and ancestral memory. At the peak of the experience, smoke fills the air, and a ritualist leads the ancient Tone of Conception, merging sound and light in a sacred act of collective creation.
From the center, a flame is kindled. Candles are lit and offered to the altars. The prayer is sealed into the ether. A new dawn is born.
More than a performance, REGENESIIS is a living prayer—a ritual space where we dream, build, and embody visions for a more beautiful world.
Participate in REGENESIIS
Over 8 days 12 artists — visionaries, dancers, musicians, poets, ritual keepers, and earth guardians will gather to co-create a theatre of hope and regeneration, touring to festivals and gatherings across Cascadia.
Participants will apprentice in ritual technologies, oracular design, and animist art. Together we will rehearse, build, and embody a mythic offering for the Earth.
Roles
2 Visionaries (puppetry, oracular design, vision)
2 Dancers (embodiment + movement)
2 Poets (prayers + mythic architecture)
4 Elemental Altar Keepers (earth, air, fire, water communion)
1 Earth Tether (Malkuth, medicine + plant ally keeper)
While leads hold specific responsibilities, each member participates across all realms of creation and prayerformance.
Phoebe Fae is a visionary artist, ritual theatre director, and registered Expressive Arts Therapist whose work bridges art, ceremony, and cultural renewal. A graduate in Studio Arts and Theatre from Concordia University and the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute, she has spent over a decade exploring how creative process becomes a vessel for transformation—both personal and collective.
Her practice, through Animist Arts, centers on the alchemy between grief and possibility, architecture and spirit. Drawing from ancient ritual technologies, animist philosophy, and contemporary performance, Phoebe’s works invite participants into living acts of myth-making and remembrance. Her creations have taken form across North America through theatre, large-scale sculpture, community ceremony, and film exploring intergenerational healing and Indigenous resurgence.
Phoebe’s latest project, REGENESIIS: Project Hope, embodies her devotion to art as prayer and regeneration in action. Rooted in the Cascadian bioregion, REGENESIIS is a participatory ritual theatre offering that unites artists and communities to co-create a shared place-based myth of renewal through movement, sound, and ceremony.
Guided by a belief that story and ritual are essential technologies of re-enchantment, Phoebe’s work invites humanity to remember our belonging to the living world—and to create from that remembrance. Her mission across all her work is to center the more-than-human voices in council during changing times.
