Learning to Let Go

Sometimes it feels as though you have no choice in the matter, that the sorrow will stay as long as it chooses, just when you think you’ve finally turned the corner and you’ve felt a glimmer of lightness in your heart, Bam! That familiar heavy wave of grief opens the floodgates of tears once more. You may question how is it possible for a human to cry as much as you have? And when will it end? There is no forcing it away, you may be smiling on the outside to the world but inside you can feel your heavy heart weighed down by the loss you are enduring. If you are feeling this way right now, my heart goes out to you with all the love, compassion and tenderness you deserve.


So how can we learn to let go of this sorrow when we feel we have no control over it?


Accepting that this is the process you are in, is the first step. No longer having that person who you love with all your heart by your side is one, if not, the most painful process in one’s life, and it truly does take time to heal, no matter all the healthy habits and perspectives you keep returning to, this is the greatest loss you have ever lived and it is going to take time to return to the lightness in your heart you once knew. I know this doesn’t feel very encouraging, but hold on dear friend, there is hope.


Accepting a tough reality isn’t easy, but it is necessary to help you to stop fighting what is and move into the sphere of supporting yourself through what is, and this is where the light of hope shines in. Moving from ‘When will this pain end?!’ to ‘Dear heart, how can I comfort you? What can I do to help you feel held with love?’


There are so many holistic, artistic and somatic ways we can relate to and express our emotions. Find one that speaks to you, explore it and you will feel a shift within. Learning to let go is a voyage through dark and stormy seas, be kind and gentle with your tender heart, she will shine again, and her love will be far more powerful than ever before, once she has navigated through this shipwreck of loss and discovered the treasure of tending to her light of love.

 Blossom: The Dance of Becoming is a multi-sensory one-woman show that invites the audience into a sacred dream   space where transformation takes root. Through poetic dialogue, evocative music, interpretive dance, and immersive visual imagery, we witness Aurora´s decent from heartbreak and hopelessness over the suffering in the world, into awakening, self-love, empowerment and soulful reconnection with Earth and Self. The play blends spiritual symbolism with grounded emotional truths. The animals that appear in Aurora’s dreamscape are more than symbols — they are messengers, mirrors, and mentors, supporting an inward journey toward healing and radiant transformation.

​​

 My intention is to guide the audience inward as Aurora reconnects with the Earth, her inner child, her soul's purpose,   and the quiet, radiant power within. May this production touch the hearts of all who witness it and awaken the   remembrance that healing is possible, and that every being carries a unique light meant to shine.-Charity Joy Rose

​“Powerful, authentic, vulnerable & breathtaking.”

¨Blossom, is a powerful one-woman show—an authentic, vulnerable, and breathtakingly moving creation. It’s a journey of awakening, a living testament to what becomes possible on this planet when clear, loving intention is held at the center of everything.

Thirteen years in the making, Blossom is the result of deep dedication, integration, and unwavering faith. It reflects a life’s work infused with passion, vision, and a fierce love—for self, for others, for humanity, for the animals, and for this Earth. It carries a message both urgent and timeless: that unity on this planet is not only possible—it is within reach.

To witness Blossom is to be reminded of our shared capacity for transformation, and the beauty that unfolds when we choose love as our compass.¨- Shayu Talbot, Victoria BC

“Authentic, raw & visually stimulating—exactly what this world needs.”

¨´Blossom: The Dance of Becoming´ is an artistic blend of digestible emotional processing and promotes self acceptance. It is authentic, raw, and visually stimulating. The creator has blended the non-linear progress of self awareness (becoming) with accurate emotional presentations and subtle psychological supports.

Aurora effectively represents us all. Our inner feelings and fears. She shares the challenges boldly and with passion & vulnerability. The visual imagery is aesthetically pleasing and allows the audience to connect with both Aurora and our shared emotions.

The spirit animals guides expose the audience to heart based counselling methods in a way that is both acceptable and non-threatening. So much easier to open ones heart to self exploration when a loving creature shares knowledge not judgement.

Created for any level audience this production allows the audience to feel with and explore personal options. The contrast of the bare stage and bold video backdrop focus and entrance the audience. They are with Aurora as she feels and progresses and becomes her true self.

A beautiful creation balanced to hit audiences of all ages, children, teens, and adults. A great opportunity for parents to support emotional exploration and identification. A healing opportunity for couples or singles. It gives freely to the audience to encourage their own relationship with self and the world. May it encourage those in need of extra support the boost to connect with a heart based facilitator.

So grateful to have witnessed its first appearance, be prepared to be moved. It is exactly what this world needs to heal and bloom.

With gratitude & honour, the creator is pure magic.´´

“Taps into feelings of overwhelm, sadness, ‘not‑enoughness’—then leads you to stillness, hope & joy.”

​¨On Saturday, May 24th, I attended Charity Joy Rose´s show, ´Blossom: The Dance of Becoming´. Wow. I had no idea what to expect, and wasn’t prepared for how wobbly this would make my heart. A very good wobbly. In the purest, most honest and vulnerable form, Charity managed to tap into a place, and into feelings I think we’re all very familiar with, especially these days. Feelings of overwhelm, of being lost, of sadness and not-enoughness. Feelings of… where do we even start? First- how do I even get myself up off this floor? We were reminded, and shown so beautifully, that inside us, there is a guide. We can be still, and we can listen. And we will find the good, and the joy and the dance and the hope. We’ll remember. We can find and hold our broken, little-me. We can start there. While I am a middle aged woman, and needed this show more than I knew, I am also a parent to 4 kids/teens. All I could think, through the entire show, was how badly our kids need this. This show would change little hearts; I am sure of this. Through Blossom, Charity has given us a road map. A map to finding the way back to our source, to access the deep love and goodness that’s sitting right there, waiting for us. There is so much we cannot control, immediately around us and in this great, big, sad world. Through Blossom, I felt that Charity gifted us the antidote.¨

“An ode to joy—treasure trove of healing for audiences of all ages.”

¨Blossom: The Dance of Becoming: An Ode to Joy

Do you long for the ancient wisdom of animals to help you discover your purpose and embrace peace and joy? Aurora, the heroine of Blossom, has embarked on that journey!

As we venture into Charity’s world, we are reminded of the pressing issues that still plague our society. Her reactions are heartfelt and authentic; her performance transcends mere acting. Through her connection with animals, which impart powerful messages celebrating life, Aurora blossoms into her true self—vibrant, joyful, and playful. This transformation culminates in a series of songs that resonate as the heartfelt prayers of her spirit.

Throughout the experience, the audience becomes part of the narrative, cheering and laughing together. The joy is contagious, unraveling the secrets of life and sending everyone home with a precious bundle of happiness to cherish. 

This is more than just a performance; it's a treasure trove of healing that everyone should have access to, for joy spreads like a delightful contagion.¨

“Creative achievement that can inspire people of all ages.”

¨Charity's Blossom was an insightful, touching performance with an important message: believe in and love yourself and others. To recognize the strength and worthiness we all can nurture in the face of adversity and the dysfunction of humanity leads to confidence and resolve, to setting goals and fulfilling them.
The visuals on the big screen of animals as guiding totems offering their wisdom and encouragement added to the impact of Charity’s fluid dance and Aurora’s monologue.
The performance was a creative achievement that can inspire people of all ages.¨

“Wondrous journey of self-confrontation…beautiful, tumbling between tears, wit, fun & pure joy.”

"Blossom: the Dance of Becoming" by Charity Bryant is a one-woman show that takes viewers along on her wondrous journey of self-confrontation and exploration, meaning-making and discovery in our beautiful world during this troubled and tumultuous time in history.
The clever use of video-photography as a backdrop along with gentle music, interpretive dance and songs weave their spell as the audience experiences Aurora's (and perhaps their own) hopes and fears, longing and inspiration to make the world a better place.
Blossom has moments that may draw traces of tears only to be quickly be replaced by moments of quick-wit, relief, fun and pure absolute joy.
Do yourself a favour and go see Blossom: The Dance of Becoming. You will feel better at the end and be very glad you did! Recommended for ages 12+ "in my opinion."

-Pauline James Curtis, Victoria BC
