Tales of Aria + Sami
Swamp fairy priestesses of whimsy
Friday November 7, 2025
Greetings fellow travellers, we are the priestesses of the Temple of Ham, a performance art and somatic healing duo. We are flow fairies made of magic and whimsy. As a performance art duo, we dabble in the realms of meteor, poi, staff, silk fans, dance, being strange little goblins, etc.
The first time we met we flowed together in the park and we have been doing a lot of that together since then. We have been hosting a weekly flow meetup for around half a year together, and really value building community in the flow space. Nothing beats getting weird and wacky with fellow flailing humans.
Our magic is powered by our saviour and overlord, Ham – Sami’s dog (or wizard that got trapped in a dog body, we cannot tell, we’re pretty sure it’s the second one).
If you want to get to know us more in the realms of somatic practices, we'd love for you to learn of our individual journeys below.

No matter what age you are, you are never too old to use your imagination, play, or begin living the life that you want to live.
Sami, Priestess of Ham
Hello fellow humans! I’m Sami, a recent graduate from Rhodes Wellness College where I
completed my certification in life coaching, and my diploma in wellness counselling.
My approach to this work aims to help people break the internal rules of what we’re told being an adult is supposed to look like, and instead give you the tools to create new rules that align with the life you want to live
I believe that each of us carry a powerful seed of authenticity and self expression that is the home for our inner child, and this part of us is just waiting to be nurtured and set free. Through utilizing curiosity, self exploration, and rebuilding the safe relationship with your body and emotions, you can tap back into your inner magic, and release the shackles and monotony of “growing up”.
No matter what age you are, you are never too old to use your imagination, play, or begin living the life that you want to live. It’s time to break the rules, and get whimsical, weird, and have fun living life again.

Dark and light are the opposite sides of the same spectral reality. Let’s play in the spiral swamps together – muddy and laughing.
Aria, Priestess of Ham
Earthly blessings, friend. I’m Aria – a certified somatic dance facilitator and yoga teacher.
Credentially, I have a certificate in somatic dance facilitation and my 500hr yoga teacher training in hatha and ashtanga yoga. This is less interesting to me though, than the decade of lived experience I have of alchemising my darkness into magic.
I believe somatic movement and energetic channeling are keys to living a whimsical life that honours your own unique way of being, and no one else’s. There is no pushing away the darkness, as there is no pushing the river. There is only to flow and allow.
My offerings are to create space for the entirety of your being, as you are now. For physically and energetically moving through what is alive for you. Not to just logically confront what is in the mind, but to move with what is in the body, to dance with what is in the spirit.
