RETURN TO MAGIC ECSTATIC DANCE
Dance freely with us in the Concert Hall Ballroom of the Maritime Conservatory to the Spacey Tribal sounds of A’ā
This celebration is taking place on March 17th the same day as St Patricks Day. We chose this day becuase tradtitional St Pats celebrations involve heavy intoxication and is based on the story of St Patrick driving out the snakes. The story is based on an allegory for the witch hunts of the time. The witches were represented by snakes in the story to associate the magic people of the time with fear.
Our intention for this event is to celebrate the return and rememberance of our own Magic.
We will feature local herbalists, artists and healers at the event.
See you on the dancefloor!

Dance Guidelines
Ecstatic Dance – 3 Simple Guidelines
1. We Dance without shoes (or: We Dance Barefoot)
This allows us to connect more fully with the Ground (socks are OK)
If you have a physical condition that you need dance shoes, then OK
2. We Dance without words (or: We Dance with Body Language)
This makes it easier to be in a Meditative State
No Verbal Instruction from the Facilitators
No Talking from the Dancers
3. We Dance as We Are
No Drugs/Alcohol, No Phones, No Camera/Video, No Scents, No Expectations, No Judgements, No Shoulds, No Oughts… Just Be Yourself; With Respect for Ourselves, the Space, and One Another.
