Ecstatic Dance around the Bonfire

Ecstatic dance is hard work! Join us in the rest, relax and serve space for a break. As we create our community together take this opportunity to practice community building skills. Ask to join this cozy space, welcome one another in, serve each other a refreshing beverage or a foot rub for danced out feet! Together we can hold space for ecstatic, energetic release and safe, restful relaxation. Healing and serving our nervous systems one gathering at a time!

At 6 pm we will begin with an opening circle of exploring consent and intentions. We will practice recognizing our boundaries and longings, as well as clearly expressing and receiving “yes”, “no”, and “no, but here’s an alternative”. At 7 pm, when ecstatic dance begins, the space will morph into less structure but maintain the same guidelines and intentions. If you plan to participate in the opening circle please arrive by 6 pm. We will be creating a container for connection and safety, so it is best that everyone participate from the beginning.

No dance experience needed. Move any way you wish. Respect the space and the people there. Dress to sweat, bring water, no perfumes/colognes. Essential oils are ok. Lightly facilitated invocation. This is a deep container to fully express through an embodied journey, and let it all go. Your creativity, connection, and expression is welcome here. Come as you are, come alone or with family and friends. Flow toys welcome.

At the end of the dance, it is available to pull up a chair and hang out around the bonfire to socialize under the stars. Bring a drum or shaker if it calls you.
