Ecstatic Dance Boston :: Cacao Ceremony & DJ Journey Weaver

"What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful. And there's a word for it... Authentic" ~ Tim Brown Let's gather to dance with love.... love for ourselves, love for community, and love for the magic we co-create when we come together in our movement expression 💜 As we celebrate this day of adoration let's take this opportunity to dance in connection ... We'll start with a ✨ Cacao Ceremony ✨opening circle and through the practice of "Authentic Relating" ... we'll drop into a shared space of compassion, camaraderie, and embodiment. Then flow into a heart-opening set with 🎧Journey Weaver... finally coming to rest with a live soundscape closing and teas served for time to connect with our beloved dance-fam 💜 There'll be a special altar of chocolates 🍫 and other special elements 💌 about to celebrate Valentines, along with tasty herbal blends in our SereniTea Lounge, relaxing massage, co-created community poetry on our giant-magnetic-poetry board, networking, nourishment, and more!

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 with "indoor 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 at the entrance and 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: Mar 10 (Tu) Ecstatic Dance Boston :: CI Live Music & JW Mar 27 (Fr) Ecstatic Dance Boston :: Chandra & Chloe Apr 12 (Tu) Dancing with Eros & ED Boston Apr 24 (Fr) Ecstatic Dance Boston :: Masha & RaSo *** 2nd Tues/Thurs and 4th Fridays till Summer, then shifting to 2nd Thurs & 4th Fri Sept onward! 😍 ✨ Save the Date!!! ✨ Ecstatic Northeast Campout :: June 4th-7th :: Western MA/NY RIDE-SHARE Group!
