We honor "moving as the music inspires you" in a judgement-free space designed to inspire easeful presence and energetic flow. ED Boston is an opportunity to connect with your self, shake up your patterns, let free-form inspiration abound, and co-create a transformative experience. Let carefully crafted musical journeys allow you to process emotions, exercise your body and mind, lift your spirits, and be welcomed by a vibrant local community as part of a global family in ecstatic expression. You can engage in the dance as you wish… through movement, meditation, expansion, observation, introspection, development, and connection. You'll be amazed at what emerges when you let go and just dance! ◀︎ GUIDELINES ▶︎ 1. Respect yourself and one another 2. Dance barefoot (or for health reasons... use dance, non-street shoes) 3. Conversation & cellphone use outside the dance space "At Ecstatic Dance, we join together to create a sacred space for dancing. No talking on the dance floor allows us to move out of our heads and into our bodies, hearts, and spirits. We leave behind the words and worries of the day, and connect with spirit and each other in new ways." - Donna Carrol (Co-Founder Ecstatic Dance Oakland) ❉ Connect with inquiry before assumption, give yourself permission to be present and free of digital distractions, enjoy a natural high, and co-create the experience with consideration. ❉ Any concerns or questions can be addressed through feedback forms online at www.ecstaticnortheast.com ◀︎ STAY CONNECTED ▶︎ Follow our page Boston Ecstatic Dance Join our group Ecstatic Dance Boston Community Find us on Instagram at "EcstaticDanceBoston" And check out our Meetup Group www.meetup.com/Boston-Ecstatic-Dance/ UPCOMING EVENTS: 11/24 I-Opener Dance Boston :: Coming Home *** stay tuned as Ecstatic Dance Boston shifts to twice a month!! 2nd Thurs and last Fridays 😍 *** Feb 23-29, 2020 (Troncones, Mexico) I-Opener Dance "Beachside Bliss" :: Tropical Retreat :: DJs, Musicians, Community, Art, Workshops, Nature, and more!!:: RIDE-SHARE Group!
