Adapted from Disney’s beloved animated film and the works of Rudyard Kipling, this musical for the entire family will have the jungle jumpin’ with a jazzy beat! Specially adapted from the classic Disney animated film, Disney’s The Jungle Book Live features a host of colorful characters and your favorite songs from the movie, including The Bare Necessities, and I Wanna Be Like You. Banished by the ferocious tiger, Shere Khan, a human boy named Mowgli and his panther friend, Bagheera, are on the run in the deepest parts of the jungle. On their journey, the two meet a sinister snake named Kaa, a herd of elephants and a giant bear named Baloo, who teaches them the swingin’ musical rhythms of the jungle. After surviving a dangerous encounter with a band of monkeys led by King Louie, Mowgli and Bagheera are forced to run for their lives. When Shere Khan returns, our heroes must rally their fellow animals into battle and restore peace throughout the jungle. A live, one-act stage production.

The Shift from Fear to Love is a live event, a mission, a movement, and a growing community. It activates us, personally and collectively, to lead with Love and liberate from Fear.
It is a growing community of rising leaders that share:
1. A common mission to personally and collectively shift from fear to love.
2. An awareness that: our inner challenges and our world’s problems are rooted in fear; healing & sustainable solutions are aligned with love; and we each have the leadership capacity to shift from fear to love with every breath, thought, choice, action, and contribution.
3. A dedication to unleash our greatest leadership contributions, each shifting the world from fear to love in our own unique way.
.
The purpose of the Live Event is to liberate your next level of leadership contribution, as we come together to shift ourselves and our world from fear to love.
The Vision for the Live Event includes many collaborative elements that will be woven together into a transformative, artful, improvisational, engaging experience on-stage. Whether you are on-stage or in the audience, you will experience personal transformation and community-building. Your full presence will naturally contribute to The Shift from Fear to Love.
We will begin our 4-hour experience creating a heightened state of love and liberation–weaving in the power of music, dance, singing, spoken word, meditation, guided visualization, and communal intention. You will then be invited into transformational experiences–a collage of journaling, partner work, open forum sharing, spotlight coaching, and improvisational creativity. Everything will be by choice where you decide how deeply you’re ready to engage.
.
Ticket Sales & Free Membership are open to all rising leaders.
