Ecstatic Dance - LAVENDER FIELDS (w ALCHEMIZE workshop)

Ecstatic Dance is a container for raw, authentic expression through movement. If you are new to edance, please read the rules below. For this dance, we're bringing in LAVENDER FIELDS! Listening to Lavender Fields is like playing with a box of kittens! Her captivating genre-bending live electronica experience is created as she fuses analog hardware with the innovations of electronic music guided by the intention to heal. Lavender Fields is a producer, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who creates ethereal portals of sonic beauty, transcending time and space. Her spellbinding performances are accompanied by her playing the keys, flute, guitar and singing. The creator’s journey began with her foundation in classical music and has since alchemized with many of her inspirations, from the mystical classical compositions of Tchaikovsky to the timeless, reggae beats of Bob Marley. Flying Lotus’ experimental electronica inspired Lavender Fields to explore, create, and fuse sounds with the Moog. Her ultimate goal in music is to share a positive message with the world. Her passion for the environment is also expressed through her project “Light Up The World”, where she spreads lavender medicine musically and with lavender medicine she grew and prepared in every city she visits. https://www.lavenderfieldsmusic.com/ https://www.facebook.com/lavenderfields4eva https://www.instagram.com/lavenderfieldsmusic/ https://youtu.be/EY6BVbl2Rtk https://soundcloud.com/lavenderfields For our opening Workshop, Regina Gelfo will be presenting: ALCHEMIZE A guided hourlong journey using sound, movement, expression to alchemize an energy that we each want to transform. We start with a brief sharing circle of what energy we would like to alchemize. Regina will then guide a step-by-step process to help everyone clear their energy, open their channel, loosen up, and create a small improvisational piece of expression ~ can be sung, spoken, danced, freestyle, etc ~ which will be witnessed within the group as our closing share. We will end feeling lighter, freer, and pumped up for ecstatic dance! *NOTE: bonus points if you wear lavender and we can create a "field" of lavender dancing bodies :) ----------------------------------------- Schedule ----------------------------------------- 7 pm Arrival 7:15 pm ALCHEMIZE 8:15 Opening Circle 8:30 pm EDance ft.
