01Silent Disco Ceremony

Headphones on, sitting comfortably. The journey is about to begin.

We begin with gratitude and a clear intention. With headphones on, guided meditation, breathwork, cacao, and music create space to slow down and reconnect. Each circle is hosted by our facilitators.

Intention SettingBefore we begin, we explain the session, introduce the headphones, and set an intention. A simple guided breathing pattern helps everyone settle.

Celebrating the virtues of gratitude and intention setting through hosted meditation, breathwork, and cacao ceremonies in a silent-disco format.

07Who Holds The Circle

The Facilitators

Victory brings years of experience holding live rooms; Salar brings visual storytelling and a long personal relationship with plant-medicine culture. Together they balance structure with imagination, helping people feel held without making the experience feel clinical.

Victory Battle, Founder & Ceremony Facilitator

Victory Battle

Founder & Ceremony Facilitator

Victory has spent more than a decade building experiences where the audience is inside the moment rather than watching it. He joined the event production platform Artery in 2018, hosting intimate gatherings out of his Toronto loft studio, and was later chosen as their Event Ambassador.

Before that he designed corporate team-building through The Field Trip Program at Pursuit OCR — stripping away titles and seniority — ran Camp Pursuit for kids across the GTA, co-hosted live charity broadcasts for the Boobie Ball, and built the Dance On Cancer's Grave Relay For Life campaign in memory of his friend Danielle.

Hideas has since relocated from Toronto to British Columbia, where Victory now holds Nature Loves Courage silent-disco meditation and breathwork ceremonies and Token of Gratitude cacao circles in Vancouver and across Central BC, including Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton.

Salar Salahi, Creative Director & Visual Artist

Salar Salahi

Creative Director & Visual Artist

Salar is a visual artist with over 12 years of experience — film, caricature, photography and collage all live under the same hand, and that is where Hideas visual language comes from.

In 2018 he ran a podcast about plant medicine for 18 episodes, and since then he has been in the discovery of different medicines to heal his own traumas and to help others overcome theirs.

He is currently a student of Human Garage, learning to help himself and the community release tension and trauma held in the body.
