Dancing with Eros ~ February: Desire

❣️Dancing with Eros Valentine’s Edition: Desire❣️ Hosted by Dancing with Eros and @Alyssa Lynes "Evolution leads the way through desire." ~ Deepak Chopra Desire is a powerful pathway towards manifestation of our goals and dreams. How do we pursue our desires without objectifying them? And how can we practice this together in the dance? ❣️Dancing with Eros ❣️ Together we hold the intention of exploring our erotic energy through dance. What does it mean for us as individuals as well as our community to dance with Eros? As a society, we have been acculturated to have shame about our sexual desires. In many dance communities in the country, we have struggled with issues of consent and sexuality in the dance spaces, so much so that many local dances seek to explicitly keep erotic energy separate from the dance. This is an invitation to allow and follow our intimate and erotic energy, with consciousness and care, consent and healthy boundaries. Erotic energy is creative energy. Let your creativity flow. ✦✦Schedule✦✦ 8:00 pm Doors open, Arrival 8:30 pm Opening circle Alyssa Lynes Warm up with Sheri Hupfer 8:00 pm Ecstatic Dance: Aaron Brando aka DJ Hipsockit 10:45 pm Closing and Integration ✦✦ Location ✦✦ Karuna Yoga 25 Main Street, 3rd floor Northampton, MA ✦✦Pricing Structure✦✦ $20 at the door $15 for students and low income ✦✦Honoring the Container✦✦ 👉🏽Arrive by 8:30 pm to be present for the setting of the sacred space. 👉🏽Please keep casual conversation outside of the dance space, but please do use your voice anytime, in order to set or clarify your boundaries or ask for what you want. 👉🏽This is a shame free zone. We are practicing shame resilience through artfully learning to honor our own boundaries and honor the desires of others, whether or not we choose to meet them. 👉🏽Explore consent, verbally and non-verbally. Be forgiving and truthful with yourself and others in the event of a consent accident. This is how we learn and grow. 👉🏽Allow yourself space from the digital world and simply Dance with Eros within and around. 👉🏽No exchange of bodily fluids on the dance floor. 👉🏽There will be a designated cuddle space, if your dance becomes slow or floor bound, consider moving to the cuddle zone to leave the dance space open and available for dancing! 👉🏽This is a body positive space. Reveal yourself to the extent that feels empowering and exciting AND keep your genitals covered. ✦✦ Bring ✦✦ 1. Clothing that is comfortable to dance in and that you feel ALIVE in 2.
