About this Event
Rest to Rise is a nurturing opportunity to connect with the parts that need to move at their own pace.
We will begin with a grounding practice and intention setting, followed by an Ecstatic Dance, and end our evening with a Meditation and Reiki Circle.
An invitation to gather in community, set intentions, drop into the body, then connect with music and your intentions through mindfulness, intuitive movement, meditation and authentic connection.
About Ecstatic Dance:
Ecstatic Dance is a free form dance, with no choreography. Simply intuitive movement. The dance playlist creates a wave of 5 rhythms to facilitate journeying, flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, stillness. The intention is to form community connection and connection with one’s body/mind and soul.
About Reiki:
Reiki is Universal Life Force Energy that flows through all living beings. It is a Traditional Japanese Healing Technique that aims to serve the highest good of all. We will join hands and invite Reiki to aid us in the highest good, attune to the collective and individual energies, where tension and stagnant energy dwells. Invite and allow Reiki to work with your intention, your chakras, and your auric field to guide the flow of Life Force Energy throughout the body and collective.
