Ecstatic Dance
Ecstatic Dance is a free-form, expressive dance gathering where participants are encouraged to let go of inhibitions, surrender to the music, and connect with their bodies, emotions, and others in a safe and supportive environment.
The focus is on moving authentically and without judgment, rather than following specific steps or styles. Our event starts with a facilitated group circle, to provide the guidelines for the experience and use of the spaces.
The benefits of participating in an Ecstatic Dance event can include:
1. Emotional release: Dancing freely allows individuals to express and process emotions, leading to a cathartic release.
2. Mind-body connection: Ecstatic Dance promotes body awareness and mindfulness, helping participants to develop a deeper connection between their physical and emotional selves.
3. Increased self-confidence: By dancing without judgment, individuals can learn to embrace their bodies, movements, and self-expression, leading to improved self-esteem and confidence.
4. Stress reduction: The combination of physical movement and emotional release can reduce stress levels, promoting relaxation and overall well-being.
5. Community connection: Ecstatic Dance events often foster a sense of community and belonging, as participants share a common experience and create connections with others.
