About this Event

~ Ritual ~ Hi Dancers, Please join Coalessence Dance in welcoming DJ Sheena Medicina This Sunday Morning, October 9th To The Wow Hall, 291 w 8th Ave. Eugene Doors open 10:00am Hollye Holbrook Facilitating the Somatic Lab 10:15-11:00 Music ~ 11:00-1:30 πŸ’™ Intention from Sheena At Ecstatic Dance we are essentially tapping into a very deeply universal & human experience of creating "ritual" in our lives. These rituals are intrinsic to our humanity, and people have been dancing in ceremony and ritual together for time immemorial. From the plains of Africa to the temples of Bali, to the mountain tops of the vast Americas, and everywhere in between.....this ancient but fundamental technology of creating a ritual of coming together to dance is something so central to our humanity & the wiring of our nervous systems. It gives us a very real sense of place & community, a marked experience where we literally move through the full spectrum of emotions and experiences in a state of collective embodied healing. I want to tap into the remembering of how truly sacred this practice is, and how it has been encoded into our DNA as human beings....this is more than just an ecstatic dance, it is a ritual....a ceremony....and one where we get to remember just how sacred this human existence truly is. Also, what a sweet time, to play Ecstatic Dance on a Sunday in Eugene!!! Yip yip!
