We provide cacao to activate the heart and energy.  🙌🏼 ECSTATIC DANCE ETIQUETTE + ATTUNEMENT In order for all of us to feel most free in this space, and have the richest experiences possible, it's imperative to maintain a foundation caring - for ourselves and each other. This involves practicing consent, and attuning to yourself and others in the space:: Have clarity before dancing with anyone else either asking or accepting - consent may be asked for through body language, eye contact, words, ect - be sure to receive a clear yes from a clear ask. No's are liberating! Some people are here for connective experiences, and some people are here for solo journeyers. Most people are here for both! If someone is in an internal space with their eyes closed, that isn't the time to initiate touch or a dance. Give people the gift of their personal space. Always take a moment to check in with yourself of what you're actually needing/desiring ~  👣 We move barefoot. 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 and hired photographers 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. 🌍 CALLING ON OUR PEOPLE Are you inspired to artistically add to Earthshake?
