💫Reiki Dance: Return to Your Center
Sat, Oct 17
4PM - 6PM

✨REIKI DANCE is a live healing experience combining Reiki, meditation, intuitive dance, live music, and sound healing.
REIKI DANCE
A Live Healing Experience of Music, Reiki & Movement

🌞 REIKI DANCE™ is a restorative two-hour experience combining Reiki, somatic movement, meditation, live music, intentional dance, and sound healing to help you slow down, release tension, and reconnect with yourself. Each Reiki Dance experience is unique.
No Reiki or Dance experience required. Open to all.

Live music that responds to the energy of the experience
Learn to channel Reiki for rest, energetic balance, and healing
Somatic movement meditation to release tension and reconnect with the body
A closing sound healing experience for rest, clarity, and integration
Release stress, quiet the mind & reconnect with your body

✍🏻October Theme: Return to your Center

This month, we return to our center. Through Reiki, breath, somatic awareness, live music, and intuitive movement, we explore the balance between effort and ease, giving and receiving, movement and stillness. Rather than searching outside ourselves for direction, we practice listening inward and allowing movement to emerge from a more grounded place.
We will explore topics like: Where am I? What feels grounded and true within me?

Heart Hive Returns for their Fall Season!

⏰ Time & Location
Oct 17, 2026, 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM
First Church in Cambridge, 11 Garden St, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA

Hello Hive! 🐝

Heart Hive is back after our summer break, and this month’s theme is Adaptation.

This season brings two changes: we’re moving to Saturdays, and we’ve found a new home at First Church in Cambridge (11 garden st Cambridge)

Our ethos remains the same: a welcoming space to move freely, connect with one another, and build a resilient community!

Our ecstatic dance beats will be provided by Djini (Amir, Heart Hive’s president).
After the dance, Lawanda of Pharaoh Essentials will lead us in a sound healing circle.

Come as you are. We’re looking forward to dancing together again.

With love,
The Heart Hive Team

5Rhythms® Emerging Waves with David Ritscher
Wed, Oct 12

💫Come dance with us in our movement meditation grounded in the belief that when we move, we heal.

“Put your body in motion, and the psyche will heal itself,” wrote Gabrielle Roth, who created the 5Rhythms discipline. Through moving my body, I’ve found release, freedom, connection, being in the present.

This practice welcomes every body, every culture, every age. Wherever the rhythms are danced, a community forms — one that moves together, sweats together, grows together.

Come move with us!

Location: First Parish Dorchester
10 Parish Street Dorchester

🚨Invite a friend and the two of you will dance for the price of one!

📌 The venue is air-conditioned, and there is ample parking, including a church parking lot.

💫Ecstatic Dance with Linda Ugelow
Mon, Oct 12 - 7-9 pm

✨ This Is Your Body on Dance ✨

⏰ Time & Location:
Oct 12, 2026, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
The Calvary, 300 Massachusetts Ave, Arlington, MA 02474, USA

At the Calvary Church, 300 Mass. Ave., Arlington. (Come through the door on Linwood St. and go up to the 2nd-floor lovely Fellowship Hall)

Ecstatic Dance with Linda Ugelow
This Is Your Body on Dance

What does your body want to say tonight? Ecstatic Dance is freeform movement where the music becomes inspiration, invitation, and partner.

There is no choreography, nothing to get right. You follow the rhythm, the feeling, the mood, the impulse, wherever it wants to go.

Come with a question or an intention and let it work itself out on the dance floor, or come simply to move, play, and be surprised by what your body knows and needs. Dance alone, dance near, or dance with others.

Connection here is an invitation, never an expectation. We’ll begin with a guided exploration and will close with time to write, draw, and share for connection and grounding.

⚜️Soul Dance: An Embodied Movement Practice with Allison Talis

Date: Sat, Oct 03

💗 Soul Dance is a path back into the wisdom of our bodies. It is a movement language and framework..... It recognizes the body holds memories, emotions, and experiences that can be accessed and processed through body awareness, movement, expression and communal connection in a trauma-informed container.

Through the dance we can move into concealed spaces, touch lightly on our epigenetic inherited patterns, legacies, ancestral wounds and bring forth a more integrated self. One that honors and acknowledges all of our parts- to know and befriend them all. To welcome all our parts out of exile and into new patterns and forms of expression that allow us to remember we are made for these times.

🔆MEDICINE DANCE with Allison Talis
Sun Sep 27, 2026 11:30 AM - 2:30 PM
The Dance Complex, 02139

Welcome to our Monthly Journey. A curated experience that is a bit different each time, weaving ecstatic Soul Dance, sacred ritual, creative modalities, meditation, guided visualization and somatic practices.

We begin with Soul Dance dance and then move into a guided process created by Allison called Emotion in Motion- where the individual and the collective meet.

The Dance is a path back into the wisdom of our bodies. It is a movement language and framework that recognizes the body holds memories, emotions, and experiences that can be accessed and processed through body awareness, movement, expression and communal connection

💫A guided improvisational movement practice that engages somatic awareness to facilitate personal growth, emotional well-being, and collective healing. This is an interactive practice, welcoming participants of all experience levels. This is a highly creative and imaginative practice that allows us to play, explore and remember who we really are.

We enter in a cycle of movement that begins slow, builds in intensity, peaks, lightens, and then settles. Through verbal instructions, participants are invited to explore, in their own bodies way – a variety of movement patterns, physical inquiries, and focal points. The journey is curated to an intentional and eclectic soundscape. It is a journey where you might sweat (though you are always in control of your rhythm and pace)

🙏We will engage in somatic practices to slow down, regulate and welcome gentleness and balance. Medicine Dance is a journey back HOME again and again to that which is real, that which is now and that which is eternal.

We will land and anchor with meditation and visualization, followed by our closing circle.

Please bring a journal/ paper, a pen and water.

This is a 2.5 hour workshop.
