Ecstatic Dance and Overnight - Releasing Our Shadows

Dj Blisstina (Christina Sasser) shares her intention for the dance: I believe and have witnessed how dance & soundscape in community can be a powerful tool for the expansion of consciousness. Delving deep on the cusp of the dark moon, we seek within, asking "what am I really committed to?" & "what is most important to me?" This journey encourages the dancer towards discovering & releasing shadows, patterns & limitations. There is a deep inner elder wisdom that resides in each of us, tap this resource. Let healing spontaneously arise, blockages release, and allowing illumination of new ways & abilities. May you show up even more powerfully, vulnerably, & with an open heart. Don't close......stay open. Make space, expand your boundary a little bit, take some time here, reflect on the long range, recommit yourself to a higher vision. No more distractions, no more excuses. What are you here to do? What are you committing yourself to? How much are you really willing to show up right now, for your life, for the planet, for your family and your community, for animals, for the water, for spirit, for art, for passion, for beauty, for LOVE??? "I will face my fears and take a stand. Recommitting to becoming more than I am." ____________________________________________________ $20 min. Donation at the door.
