Description

We gather to r e n e w. We know that there is medicine and magic in showing up to be expanded open again and again; like the moon. So e x p a n d, you starstuff. Make a new infinite home with your movement. Re-sync with the cosmos that we all come from. Re-align bones, blood, breath back with the spinning orbits our ancestors knew to attune everything to. Remember. 🜄 begin again. d e e p e r this time. 🜄 ⤐ 6:15pm | Opening Ceremony begins and includes a plant-based elixir to guide your breathwork and meditation.

We gather in a secular and elemental ceremonial setting informed by authentic ancestral wisdoms and practices. In this way, we intend to decolonize and ground conscious dance experiences so that the healing impact is integrated and enduring. THE DANCE is a somatic healing and regenerative plant medicine experience facilitated by Egyptian Sonic Alchemist, international DJ, and community organizer DREEEMY (also known as Reem Abdou) and Colombian herbalist and plant ritualist Valeria De La Pava. THE DANCE is brought to you in evolutionary partnership between The Collective BAE & Ambrosia Elixirs in NYC, and coming soon to a dancefloor near you.
