Ecstatic Dance
Ecstatic dance is a freeform conscious movement practice. The space is yours to explore presence, creativity, and compassion at your own pace. It is your time to be free.
We honor the space by embracing silence during the event so that your inner experience, music, and movement can guide the journey. There are no rules, prescribed movements, expectations, or judgment. You don’t even need to dance. You might move with energy, or simply sit in meditation.
You may also choose to explore your emotions. Ecstatic dance has a unique ability to loosen what no longer serves you, creating room for joy, release, and freedom. Our bodies carry stories and memories, and sometimes those stories become stuck. Through freeform movement, you may feel those stories soften and begin to let go, if you set that intention. Not every journey has to go deep; sometimes the medicine is in simply letting the music wash over you.

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.
