About this Event
Bringing new life through endings of cycles
Dancing awake divine beginnings
With delicacy and strength
Come dance with us in springtime rebirth~
.
This movement session is a practice of deep listening through your senses, awakening dormant codes of somatic cognition and unfolding authentic expression.
Breathing deeply and flowing freely~
Coming back Home within.
.
This dance floor will be a safe space to express your process to the outer worlds without needing words.
If you desire to converse, please move your conversation to the astroturf foyer outside the door, or take a breather for fresh air outside. Keep voices to a respectable volume when on the street.
.
All expressions are indeed welcome; please feel empowered to laugh, cry, scream and shout. This is a sober space, to embody your emotions fully without reliance on use of substance. Clear mind, centered hearts.
.
We are propagating a consent-based culture: please tune in with clear yeses and no's when engaging with others on the dancefloor. This is a judgement free zone. Here is a space to embody what's moving within you. No cameras or footage allowed. One of our team may take photos of the dj to share for their own profiles, yet this isn't a space for recording others in their movement journeys. This is a space of presence and acceptance of all that is.
.
This will be a space to move to the beat of your heart, the rhythm of the depths of your being, and the spaces in-between sounds.
Your movement is your authentic art, waiting to be poured out onto the canvas of space and time.

~Siren of the Elements~
Siren of the Elements is a multidisciplinary artist who specializes in helping people strengthen mind, body, spiritual connections through movement, music, and the elements. Siren has been featured at dozens of ecstatic dances, private parties, and community events across the Lower Mainland and is quickly gaining traction for her ability to create spaces for breakthroughs to happen. On the dance floor she curates an otherworldly sound by blending ancient mantras, powerful bass notes, traditional instrumentals, and mind altering electronic wubs. Through movement and music, magic and sound, she looks forward to opening the portal on April 23rd at Synergy Ecstatic Dance, full moon edition!

~Navin Sahjpaul~
Navin Sahjpaul (Music Therapist, BMT, Certified Yoga Teacher, Musician, Mental Health Advocate) is a South Asian man of colour who identifies as an Indo-Canadian (he/him). Both of his parents were born in India and immigrated to Canada at a young age with their families. He resides and works in Vancouver, BC and his life journey thus far has led him to pursuing a career path in being of service in this world. Navin is deeply passionate about well-being, mental health, community building, and healing, a believer in the idea that one can overcome life adversity and does not have to live an existence that consists mostly of pain and suffering
**Sound Meditation Offering:**
Navin will lead a Sound Meditation experience using Live Music (Acoustic Guitar, Voice, Synthesizers) with the intention of creating an ambient soundscape within which one can find stillness, tranquility, and peace. The music is a restorative experience, opening the heart and bringing up emotions and feelings, providing an opportunity for the body to release anxiety, tension, and stress that has been stored and accumulated within one’s nervous system over time. During the experience, folks are invited to find a comfortable space during the experience for meditation, journaling, gentle movement, and yoga
