We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Brigette Cormier. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Brigette below.
Alright, Brigette thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
I am passionate about creating opportunities for myself and others to raise our vibrations and increase our wellbeing. From choreographing dance shows and curating open mic nights, to guiding mindfulness meditations, and everything in between, I’ve spent the past 15 years producing high vibrating experiences. It feels like now is the right time for me to produce my next high vibrating imprint in South Florida: The Love Steady Gathering.
Vibrational wellness, energetic well-being, and inner peace are integral keys for happiness in one’s life. Our vibration is the frequency measurement of our energy in any given moment. When we’re feeling energized, our vibration is high. I’ve curated the Love Steady Gathering as an all-day event with the intention to facilitate vibrational wellness and energetic balance towards inner peace. There are 4 aspects of balancing the energy in this event: physical movement, sound baths, affirmative meditation, and performance art.
We can balance the energy in our bodies through physical practice, so there are yoga classes as well as a dance class with Miami-based dance artist Kerine Jean-Pierre. Vibration is a frequency measurement, like sound, and so sound baths will provide an environment of healing sound vibrations to promote energetic wellness. Guided meditations will provide a practice to reclaim personal power and vocally affirm one’s greater balance.
My favorite form of facilitating vibrational well-being in others is through performance art. When sleeping, if we dream, our brain’s electricity moves the same way it would if we were awake. When in a passive state, observing media, our brain matches its energy. This mirroring of energetics also happens when we observe art, the brain’s electricity mirrors the vibration of the art. It is for this reason that there will be a live dance performance and a screening of dance art films, all by high vibrating Miami-based artists, so that those attending can experience balance through the brain on art.
By approaching vibrational well-being from these different angles, I hope to provide a powerful and inspiring community event where like-minded people interested in feeling inner peace and energetic wellness can gather and raise their vibrations, while also supporting local artists.
By the way, did you know that vibrations are contagious? The Love Steady Gathering offers a steady, slow drip of love vibrations to assist in spreading the energy of peace n’ love into the collective of humanity. The Love Steady Gathering meets in Miami Shores in The SandBox at Miami Theater Center on July 30th, with limited tickets available.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I moved to Miami in 2007 and received by BFA in Dance from the New World School of the Arts in 2011. From there I danced professionally with Miami-based dance companies while running my first gallery, Love Steady Arts, and producing the first iterations of my art events in Wynwood, FL until 2013. From there, I focused on my dance company BC Dance Co., choreographing and producing my dance art in collaboration with South Florida arts organizations (such as Miami Light Project and Miami Theater Center) for the rest of my 20’s. As I approached my 30’s I began building Love Steady Lifestyle, a hub for spiritual coaching and mindfulness meditation. And now, I’m 33 with a thriving vibrational wellness program for adults, a mindfulness & movement curriculum for children, and several new dance art projects under my belt. What is so meaningful about this next project, The Love Steady Gathering, is that it combines every method that has worked to bring joy into my life, and my loved ones’ and clients’ lives, into one experience. It’s my honor to do this work in Miami, and it has been a joy for me to bring my favorite artists and practitioners together to create an experience such as this. I hope it’s the first of many.
Do you think there is something that non-creatives might struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can shed some light?
I believe what makes someone an artist is the undeniable urge to create, to produce. The urge to create is not always picky about the art form, or the tools the artist uses, it simply provides the artist with an energetic motivation or vision that does not let up until the artful idea has been fully expressed. A piece of art is born inside the artist, and it does not feel satisfied until it is let out, through the expression of the art, and the completion of the piece. There is a sense of purpose and satisfaction that an artist feels through the creation and completion of their work.
Artists are like channels to the divine, as the artist’s undeniable urge to create, to produce, comes from deep within them, from their soul. The mind of the creative is naturally in constant translation of soul messages, open for epiphanies and new sparks of imagination at any moment. The sense of purpose that moves an artist is triggered and activated by life. While the artist interacts with reality, they are simultaneously interfacing what they experience with their imagination. Reality, life, is a source of inspiration that informs an artist’s work and gradually reveals the connection, the relationship, between their art and reality, leading them to the completion of their work.
: Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
Since I first started making art at 18 years old, I wanted to help people feel better, energetically and emotionally. As I’ve learned more about reality, I’ve been able to pinpoint the details in how I can contribute to doing just that. Every person has a personal magnetic field, an energy field that is anchored to their body that emanates out as their aura. The planet itself has an energy field, which we call the quantum field. And so each person is in the same quantum field, within their unique personal energy field. Our energy field vibrates, and because vibrations are contagious, we can feel each other’s energy… The closer you are to someone, the stronger you feel their vibration. And when a collective of people choose the same vibration together, the frequency gets stronger and can reach and be felt from farther distances. This is the reasoning behind my work, and why I say the intention of my work is to raise the vibration of the collective and create world peace. I hope to create vibration raising experiences that can be felt on a collective level, to increase feelings of wellbeing for all, even if I start small.
