:: S U M M E R :: C E R E M O N I A L ::
Ceremony // a process in which the human capacity for sacred feeling and reverence is given form and expression
– Stephen Harrod Buhner
You’re invited // to a gathering centered on intentional presence + fueled by exquisite music, soulful sweat, and the simplicity of connection.
Together // we alchemize. transform. transmute.
Together // we’ll honor the cusp of becoming. The potential + possibility that heartfelt intention met with a purposeful journey can open the door to a new threshold. We’ll discover collectively what waits on the otherside.
All are welcome // we are a multi-generational, culturally, gender, and socioeconomically diverse community.
Remember // all the ingredients for this adventure live in your own breath, bones, and blood. Dance is our birthright and our homecoming. A thread to a memory of our interconnectedness.

"Ceremony can bring the quiescent back to life;
it can open your mind and heart to what you once knew but have forgotten."
-Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE:
We create a space that is inspiring and uplifting; without talking, alcohol or the nightclub scene. We encourage participants to utilize the Ecstatic Dance space as an invitation for their magical mysterious nature, soulful somatic movement, creative self-expression, and heart-centered connection to self, life and others.
We hold a nonverbal, barefoot, alcohol-free container to keep the journey intentional and lucid. You can dance the night away and still wake up early to do awesome stuff in the world!
