Dance Ritual (Collingwood)

Hello you beautiful soul!

Dance Ritual is a guided journey through sound, breath, and the body, moving intentionally through the chakra system.

From stillness into expansive expression, this meticulously curated arc supports the transformation of stagnant energy, a reconnection to inner vitality, and a return to a more harmonious, grounded state.

Please arrive on time for 7:30 as we set the container and journey together as a cohesive group.We move from the mind into the body through a 25-minute breathwork practice before we begin our hour of free form dance. We end with intentional collective grounding before we wrap up at 9:30.

Dress comfy, bring a water bottle, mats & bolsters are provided.

This is an intentional committed experience where we create a container of safety for full expression in which all are welcome.

(It is not a casual pop-in anytime to check it out.)

The ask is to trust the journey — to come release, rise, and return home to yourself in the presence of like-hearted community.

Early bird ticket: $25 (until Saturday April 11th)

Regular exchange: $35 (after midnight Apr 11th)

The BREATH is everything, it happens both consciously and unconsciously. When we bring our awareness to it and breathe with intention - big things can happen. Somatic breathwork invigorates the body, mind and spirit as we bring this up-regulating breath of life through our bodies, exploring all parts of us. When we breathe in this way, our nervous system becomes awakened which results in the ability to access stagnant energy and emotions that have been stored deep down in the body. This can present physically such as temperature changes, shaking, yawning and cramping (which can also be caused by the fluctuation of our blood chemistry). We can also experience an array of emotional experiences from anger, sadness and grief to joy and bliss. Sounds are encouraged and space is made specifically for that as it helps to tone the Vagus nerve and to move energy. All of the sounds and emotions are welcome - all parts of YOU are welcome.

Dance is another powerful and potent form of medicine to heal the mind, body and soul as physical movement aids in transmuting (stuck and or stagnant) energy held within us. My ethos with how I guide ecstatic dance is through the chakra system, from root to crown; the music is to activate these different parts of us and help move the energy through our being. I mindfully guide us from the breathwork into slow and gentle movement as we build the energy back up during our dance. My "job" is to move us from stillness up to peak states and back down again, allowing for wild expansion and returning to a grounded and harmonious state.

The process is magic, and when everyone in this large group allows their magic to flow, it is an unbelievable experience. I am incredibly grateful to be a part of it and to be serving in this way.
