Radiant Rhythms Ecstatic Dance is an interactive immersive experience where everyone is invited to free expression through dance and movement. You can move however you like, there is no right or wrong way. All emotions are welcome, joy, sadness, love, grief, but mostly, it's joy! The goal is to get out of your head and get in touch with your body, surrender and let go of judgment. In ecstatic dance, we co-create a safe space to be our authentic selves. You are free to be beautiful, silly, free, and be you! The benefits of ecstatic dance include: relieve stress and tension, mindfulness and relaxation, somatic healing, exercise and play, being our most authentic selves, community and connection.
No experience necessary! We will provide instructions and ease you into the practice. The event begins with an opening circle where we get to know each other and share intentions, followed by an hour and fifteen minute playlist, and a closing circle to share reflections. We will spend time before and after the dance connecting in community. During the dance, there is no talking. This helps us to connect with our bodies and each other nonverbally. The result is often a trance-like and ecstatic experience.
An Inclusive Space: All ages, genders, sexual orientation, and abilities welcome.
Music: A mix of new age, worldbeat, tribal, EDM, trance, arranged in a dance wave, from slow to fast to slow. It is typically 50% non-lyrical.
What to bring: Water bottle, short sleeve, loose clothing, expect to get sweaty! Yoga mat (optional).

Welcome to a sacred Breathwork & Reiki Circle designed to gently guide you into the expansive realm of your heart, where healing and transformation unfold effortlessly.
Through the powerful union of Breathwork healing and Usui Reiki, we embark on a journey of deep somatic release, allowing the breath to act as a bridge from head to heart. As we surrender to the rhythm of our breath, we awaken the nervous system, inviting in waves of somatic, emotional, and spiritual release.
Join us in this sacred circle as we honor the wisdom of the body, embrace the power of the breath, and journey inward to discover the boundless depths of our own hearts.
**Breathwork healing (there are many names) is an exploration with your body, mind, heart, and spirit through a somatic, self-healing technique. A 2-part active rhythmic breath done through the mouth to allow the overstimulated mind to surrender and saturate the body with prana to open up the energy channels to release stuck energy within the body.
