ECSTATIC DANCE

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. 
I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. 
I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive” 
- Joseph Campbell

In the rhythm of life, there exists a space where movement transcends mere steps, where the body becomes a vessel for expression, and where the soul finds liberation. Welcome to the world of Ecstatic Dance – a transformative practice that invites you to journey within, connecting deeply with yourself and others through the language of movement and music.

At its core, Ecstatic Dance is about embracing the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely, unbound by societal constraints or self-imposed limitations. It is a sacred space where you are encouraged to let go, to play, to connect, and to express yourself authentically. Here, there are no judgments, no expectations – only the pure essence of your being, unfurling in its most natural state.

In our Ecstatic Dance sessions, we create a safe and respectful environment where 'all ways' are embraced. It's a space where you can explore the depths of your emotions, releasing what no longer serves you and embracing the full spectrum of human experience. Through freestyle movement and immersive music, we invite you to embark on a journey of self-exploration, connection, healing, and community building.

Some GUIDELINES

Within this space of boundless freedom, there are some guidelines to ensure that everyone feels safe and supported.

No Latecomers: 
We begin our journey together, creating a container that holds us all from start to finish

Keep Dancing: 
You can move your body however you wish letting the music inspire you.  The power of Ecstatic Dance comes from integrating movement, music, and our feelings.

No Spectating. 
Stay connected to your own body, sensations, emotions, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions!

Silence in the Dance Space: 
Without the distraction of words, we tap into a unified field of being, where we are both wild and free yet connected to something greater than ourselves.

Mobile Phones Muted and Out of Sight: 
Let’s detach from technology and connect to the essence of our natural selves

Substance-Free Environment:
We embrace the tribal force of the dance, honoring our bodies and the sacredness of the space.  Substances such as alcohol and mind-altering drugs remove us from the magic of this experience.
