Description

Ecstatic dance is a free flowing way to express yourself through the body without the mind getting in the way. Dance is one of the strongest medicines and in the form of a silent disco which means with headphones on, you have a chance to go even deeper internally. Ecstatic dance follows the flow of 5 rhythms, continuously building and then coming back down to create a wave. This allows us to connect to all 5 elements and move our bodies in different ways based on the different rhythms. We start with earth; slow and grounded, move to water; flowy and free, then to fire; rigid and fast, peaking at air; shaking and chaotic and then finishing with spirit; light and lyrical. The purpose is to exhaust yourself and to find yourself in a place of ecstasy where you are moving freely without thought. The dancer disappears and there is just the dance. It is a beautiful spiritual practice with major healing potential. This is a substance free event. We will begin and end in circle. Cacao, a heart opening and energizing beverage will be served.
