This is a monthly experience one Saturday per month.
Ecstatic Dance is a freeform dance meditation that allows you to embody your most joyful and playful self in a safe container.
This special collaboration between Sun & Moon Yoga Studio and Soul Fire Experiences is hosted by Arielle Gould aka DJ electro-cute, a local DJ, conscious event curator, and avid ecstatic dancer with a passion for the conscious community and creating spaces for people to be connected to their bodies, community, and joyful expression. You can expect to hear music with influences from all around the world and eras. The intent is to bring together the yoga and conscious dance community to create a place for your inner child to dance and be free for all ages and walks of life.
The event begins with an embodiment warmup to get us tapped into our bodies, goes straight into dance meditation with a live DJ, and cools down with a sound healing experience.
This will be a 2 room experience with one room as a dedicated dance floor and a chill out room across the hall for participants who would like to relax, have a chat, tea, and enjoy some offerings from curative vendors.
This month we will have the following community members co-creating the experience!
KiKi Simopkins leading our embodiment warm up with yoga nidra, self massage, and somatic work.
Zac aka Zenglish will be cooling us down with a “Sounds of Life” immersive sound healing experience incorporating soothing sounds of nature & everyday life with ambient electronic soundscapes.
Lily Ribbons Crystals will be our curative vendor with crystal jewelry, sun catchers, and crystal goddess carvings attuned to your energy.
DJ electro-cute, our resident DJ and founder, will be leading the dance flow playing house music featuring world music influences and funky, nostalgic sounds!
