About this dance

Clear Heart Ecstatic Dance Medicine | Leavenworth, WA

Clear Heart is a growing community coming together through the medicine of dance, music, and authentic expression. Nestled in the mountains of Leavenworth, two hours east of Seattle, we gather to move, feel, release, celebrate, and remember.

Our dances are a space to belong, to be witnessed, and to meet ourselves and one another through movement. We open with ceremony, ritual, song, and connection, creating a welcoming container where all feelings are welcome and there is room for the full expression of being human.

In the warmer months, we dance beneath the trees at Clear Heart Sanctuary, surrounded by nature. In winter, we gather indoors at a stunning venue, Icicle Center for the Arts, with mountain views.

Writing
DJ Klarity, our resident DJ, steward of the land, and healer, is first and foremost a dancer. Movement and music live in her body, informing the way she listens, feels, and responds to the dance floor. Drawing from soulful house, Latin and African rhythms, world fusion, electronic music, and deep, juicy beats, she DJs live, attuning to the energy of the group and the moment. She weaves a musical journey that builds organically, bringing us into our bodies, grounding us in the earth and the elements, and gradually opening us into fuller expression, connection, and the joy of moving together. Her intention is to create a space where we can let go, feel what is alive in us, and connect more deeply with ourselves, one another, and the world around us.

Clear Heart is also a home for community collaboration, welcoming others to share their gifts through live music, gatherings, seasonal celebrations, solstices, equinoxes, and retreats. Camping is available on the land for those who want to visit and connect more deeply.

We are growing this community together, with care, open hearts, and a shared longing for authentic connection, freedom, joy, and belonging.

We would love to welcome you. Please reach out to Klarity before your first dance so we can connect, share our community agreements, and tend to the safe, intentional space we create together.

Come as you are. Feel what you feel. Move as you feel called. Find your people.

Getting there

Please reach out to Klarity before attending our spring–fall dances at Clear Heart Sanctuary. We love connecting with newcomers before their first dance so we can share our community agreements and make sure we’re aligned in creating a safe, welcoming space for everyone. Our outdoor location will be shared once we’ve connected.

During the winter months, we gather indoors at the Icicle Center for the Arts (ICCA) in Leavenworth.

We dance twice a month and host retreats, seasonal celebrations, and other special gatherings throughout the year. We’d love to connect with you and welcome you into our community!

Three simple guidelines

Learn more about ecstatic dance
1

We dance barefoot

This allows us to connect more fully with the ground. Socks are OK, and dance shoes are fine if a physical condition calls for them.

2

We dance without words

This makes it easier to be in a meditative state. No verbal instruction from the facilitators, no talking from the dancers.

3

We dance sober, as we are

No drugs or alcohol, no phones or cameras, no scents. Just be yourself, with respect for ourselves, the space and one another.
