This event has been canceled due to the low turnout and not being able to give a qualitive Ritual Dance from what I feel. I look forward to future Ritual Dances with you all and looking forward to keeping this energy alive! I still invite you to connect to Mother Earth tomorrow, feel into that energy, give and receive gratitude for what we share and... do at least a small Dance <3 ______________________________________________________ 🕯️Welcome to 𝐑𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 - 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🕯️🙏 ~ Special invitation below for recycling clothes! ~ This day is recognized by many as representing a yearly celebration of Earth. Earth Day unites people in support of sustainability and responsible choices. It creates space for collective awareness, encouraging action that protects and nurtures the planet. By raising consciousness and inspiring engagement, Earth Day becomes a catalyst for meaningful change and deepens the relationship between human life and the Earth we live on. Raising awareness about environmental issues, we will embody these topics and give them movement through dance. Pollution - Deforestation - Climate change - Endangered species - Sustainability As we recognize the challenges, let's also recognize others through some of the different names Earth has been named: Mother Earth - The World -Pachamama - Midgard - Terra - Gaia - Nandini Though there are many names, we are all united as one within one place that is Earth. There is only one Earth. 🕯️𝒀𝒐𝒖 are 𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅🕯️ Take a moment. ~ 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑝... 𝐶𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑦𝑒𝑠... 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒...

From the silence we feel into ourselves, make eye contact with another dancer, show ourselves & recognize the other. The music is the invitation to go into spontaneous, free dance. The concept of Ritual Dance is inspired by Ecstatic Dance and Ritual Play. As we only use body language & sound, we leave words behind. We dance barefoot, only drink water and let ourselves be carried away by the natural flow. There is a demarcated space (the field) and demarcated time (the music), in which we step into the unknown, to authentically follow our impulses in tune with the other.
