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 at any point can be addressed with an available Space Holder (listed at the entrance table) ◀︎ ECSTATIC DANCE BOSTON ▶︎ A monthly dance journey to take us into self exploration and creative expression. 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! ◀︎ 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/ RIDE-SHARE Group!
