Dance is one of the most powerful forms of magical ritual...
It is an outer expression of the inner spirit.

Our DJ's will be sharing uniquely crafted musical journeys for your energies to root, renew and flow like a river running clear, strong, wild and free.
7:30pm-8pm: Arrive. Socialize.
8pm Opening Circle
8pm-
9:30pm: Ecstatic Dance Journey
9:30pm: Closing Circle. Sharing.
9:30pm-10:30pm: Snacks and Social Time
7:30pm-8pm The entry time has been extended to one hour so that we have plenty of time to arrive, stretch, move our bodies, catch up with old and new friends we haven't seen in a year, take a nap, have a snack, read a book or simply relax quietly in a corner and meditate.
8pm We will come together for Opening Circle. The DJ will guide us through some gentle breathing stretches to awaken and relax the body. Together we will settle onto the ground for an inspiring meditation.
8pm-9:30pm Our ecstatic dance journey will start and as usual there is no talking unless something is urgent. We play a variety of rhythms and beats from around the world that encourage movement and expression! The journey starts in a low beat to give your body the chance to ground, connect and warm up. The rhythms and beats progressively increase to an energetic peak and slowly come back to conclude with a smooth landing back into stillness.
9:30pm We'll gather for Closing Circle to sound and harmonize a little together and share reflections from the night (only if we wish). Delicious snacks will be passed around and our circle will be open for socializing until 11pm. Invite your dancing friends and share the love of dance, music and community!!!
