We gather in a secular and elemental ceremonial setting informed by authentic ancestral wisdoms and practices + the universal rhythms of the cosmos. 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.
