Ecstatic Dance Boston :: Ankati Day & Journey Weaver :: Fri

"Make your life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in your imagination…" ~ Roman Payne The closing of a decade... the birth of a new one.. What a gift to ourselves to dance!!! Connect in heartwarming expression with sweet community! Honor all we've accomplished and all that's coming our way!! This evening we'll warmup with a Yoga Dance Lab led by renowned facilitator, Ankati Day, then flow into a blissful dance wave with DJ Journey Weaver... and finally closing the night with a crystal bowl sound bath and tea served for connection and integration. We've had a surge in dancers and greatly appreciate all the respect and kindness being shown to everyone on the dance floor 💜Each journey is a co-creation and you are an essential part of making it what it is. As a special edition to the evening we'll be offering an interactive "altar of intensions" ... with elements of letting go, of finding serenity, of discovering desires, of honoring ourselves, of offering our gifts, of allowing ourselves to receive, and of moving us towards our highest vibration. In celebration we'll be serving a special ✨spiced hot chocolate ✨ in the SereniTea Lounge, along with fancy grapes to honor the Spanish tradition of making edible wishes allowing them to become a part of you and manifest in your life 🍇 Annnd... in the spirit of the Icelandic tradition of Jolabokaflod, we'll be offering baskets of "literary love" for a community book exchange! 📚 Let's gather and dance our way through through this time of transition... honoring ourselves, our loved ones, our community, and our bliss... allow the music to inspire your movement and set your heart free! 💜 ✦✦ Schedule ✦✦ 7 pm Doors open, Arrival 7:15 Opening Circle & Dance Lab :: Ankati Day 8:00 Ecstatic Dance :: DJ Journey Weaver 9:45 Live Sound Scape :: Crystal Bowls 10:00 Closing & Connection Chill-out with Complimentary Teas ✦✦ Location ✦✦ 11 Garden Street Cambridge, MA ** Ecstatic Dance Boston has no religious affiliation ** ➡︎ Head through the right side of the building when facing the front.

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 Ecstatic Dance Boston 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: Jan 19 (Sun) I-Opener Dance Boston Jan 24 (Fri) Ecstatic Dance Boston Feb 14 (Fri) Ecstatic Dance Boston Mar 27 (Fri) Ecstatic Dance Boston *** stay tuned as Ecstatic Dance Boston shifts to twice a month!! 2nd Tues/Thurs and 4th Fridays 😍 Save the Date!!! ✨ Ecstatic Dance Campout ✨ June 4th-7th @ Sacred Mountain (Abode, Western Mass/NY) RIDE-SHARE Group!
