Influences: Cowries have been a favorite element of female adornment for thousands of years and are a great symbol of affluence and power. The cowrie shell resembles the vulva of a woman, and for this reason, it has been embraced by many women today as a fitting symbol for their process to reclaim the sacred in their own bodies and in their sexuality. With the cowrie being such an ancient symbol for creation, birth and re-birth and since it is worn by many women as a statement that they take the manifestation of their own spirituality seriously, no wonder the ladies from Akasha are draped in them.

Sounds Like: we are a caravan of very eclectic gypsies... something you aren’t likely to see anywhere else. imagine the intricate invocation of powerful secrets of past, present and future within a sacred circle of sisters...
Looks Like: Akasha is a fusion belly dance troupe with influences as diverse as each of its members...we aren’t just tribal...or tribal fusion...or folkloric...OR cabaret. we are a tribe of gorgeous-rampaging Amazons, a sacred sect of roaming priestesses, a circle of stunning sirens...
