About this Event
Ecstatic Dance is a donation-based offering.
Suggested donation: $25.
Please contribute what feels right for you. Ecstatic dance is a liberating, sober, free-form movement experience where you dance however you want to music, with no set steps, choreography, or judgment. It is a safe, welcoming "moving meditation" that combines a great workout with deep emotional release, allowing you to get out of your head and into your body’s natural rhythm. No Experience Needed: It is not about "knowing how to dance," but rather allowing your body to move freely, even if that means lying on the floor or just swaying. Safe Space: It is typically a judgment-free, shoe-free, and substance-free environment. The "Journey": Sessions are usually guided by group leaders, starting with an introduction to the space and some instruction about community agreements, then the music will bring us into a slow, warm-up, peaking in high-energy, sometimes wild dancing, and settling into a calm, gentle close. Authentic Connection: It allows for connection with oneself—releasing emotions—and others, without the expectations of a nightclub scene. REBECA MEDINA & MARY WOLTERS WILL LEAD THE OPENING AND CLOSING PARTS OF THIS SHARED JOURNEY.
