INFO ABOUT CONSCIOUS ECSTATIC DANCE:
movement, rhythm, and music have been used by cultures throughout the world for millennia to induce healing and ecstatic states of being. gathering together in community, on the dance floor, in movement and music and breath, activates potent life force energy for transformation and creation. it frees our joy and inspiration!

Ecstatic Dance is a form of active meditation or prayer where music from around the world, free-form self-guided movement and breath are used to shift brain wave patterns from the day-to-day busyness, to the more meditative and insightful alpha state. in this state you may easily access creative & expanded visions of your life & purpose. at the very lease you'll release tension, touch authentic emotion & feel inspired.

during our 110 minute journey, the music MOVES us! we'll be drawn to our feet and into movement by soft tones & slow rhythms. then, we'll move through rhythmic beats, engage high energy transformation with chaos & drumming, reintegrate through melodic & poetic tones, and ultimately settle into a relaxed meditative state, or savasana. in the quiet of our completion, crystal bowls are played to encode our ecstatic dance experience into our bodies and minds, which is deeply satisfying, relaxing and rejuvenating. poetry and/or song are shared here too.

GUIDELINES:
No experience required or desired. if you have feet, a heartbeat, and a desire for more expansive freedom, connection and joy, just come move your body & dance your dance. (for ages 'Mature' 5 yrs & up)
1. no talking on the dance floor - allow your body to speak.
