Boho Blade and Sword Magick™ present: The Living Blade - A collaboration with Belladonna & Shannon Burla

Step into the circle and awaken the spirit of the sword.

In this special collaboration for Siren’s Fest, Belladonna, creatrix of the Boho Blade system, joins Shannon Burla, founder of Sword Magick™ , to explore the blade as both instrument and ally — a tool of precision, power, and transformation.

Boho Blade is a codified sword dance style that blends fusion dance technique with martial awareness and the guiding principles of the Boho 3 P’s: Powerful Purposeful Presentation. In this practice the sword is not merely carried — it is partnered with, becoming a weapon, tool, and extension of the self.
Sword Magick™ approaches the blade as ceremonial and sacred, inviting dancers into ritual-inspired movement where intention, symbolism, and presence transform the dance into a living spell.

Together, these two approaches weave technique and mysticism — grounding the body in strong, purposeful movement while opening space for the deeper archetypal power of the sword. 

Through guided exploration, dancers will move between form and flow, discipline and devotion, discovering how the blade can become a mirror, a guardian, and a catalyst for personal transformation.

Shannon, a practitioner of Boho Blade and a licensed Boho Academy Foundations Instructor, bridges both worlds beautifully. Belladonna is deeply honored to share this collaboration and to bring the magic of sword dance to the Siren’s Fest community.

Come ready to move with intention, embody your power, and dance with the living blade.

Performance featuring The Dancers of Nyx and the students of Whispers of the Heart: The Magician

What if I told you that you already have that magick inside of you?

Sanctum Samhain: A Sword Magick™ Intensive & Ritual Showcase takes students through a journey of sword dance technique and experimentation that helps them to find their own pathways and movement, layered with their own intentions, and guides them to create a ritual sword dance that is truly and uniquely their own.After the intensive ends, you will have a different, deeper and more powerful relationship with your blade and your dance practice. Not only will you will walk away from this experience with a brand new dance that you created yourself, you will have a deeper understanding of how to create your own movement vocabulary from here on out.

You will walk away full of new ideas and strategies that will continue to keep your creative forge ablaze, and help remind you to keep your sword practice alive with magick.
