Reach out to the organizers with inspiration & vision! 🍇🍊🌿 ABUNDANCE POTLUCK-STYLE TABLE Bring snacks, treats, herbal medicines, clothes, books, fun things to pass along to community !~!~!! We provide cacao to activate the heart and energy. 🫶🏼 ECSTATIC DANCE ETIQUETTE + ATTUNEMENT In order for all of us to feel the most free in this space, there must be a foundational level of caring for ourselves and each other. This looks like practicing consent and attuning to yourself and others in the space. Have clarity before dancing with someone(s) - consent may be asked for through body language and eye contact. If someone is in an internal space with their eyes closed, that isn't the time to initiate touch & a dance. Always take a moment to check in with yourself of what you're actually needing/desiring ~ 👣 We move barefoot. We keep phones & lengthy conversations off the dance floor. This is an alcohol-free space. We dance how we wanna, there is no wrong way to move. Let's skip the judgement on ourselves + each other and allow to get weird and wild and prayerful and primal, however the music is moving you. 📸 Organizers may take fun & quick video clips during the night. Please contact Brianna if you don't want any footage of you shared on social media. SUPER IMPORTANT!!!! PLEASE READ BELOW!!! . . .
