Ecstatic Dance PVD ~ EARTH DAY

April 22nd is Earth Day and we are celebrating with a cacao and sound infused musical journey in honor of our magnificent planet and with intention to recommit to ways in which we can better care for her. It begins with healing ourselves. We will have an (optional) ceremonial cacao offering with Maggie Mason and opening circle followed by beats by resident DJ Tara Ma and a Restorative Alchemia Sound Bath with Nicole Benisch. We will end with our closing circle and shares and Afterglow. ABOUT Maggie Mason: Maggie Mason started her journey with cacao 4 years ago and has been holding ceremonies for the last 3 years. Combining her love for reflection, connection to nature and community, and her background in yoga, Maggie holds a sweet ceremony space that allows for people to dive inward while also feeling deeply supported. ABOUT Nicole Benisch: Nicole is the founder of Light Spirit Essentials and Reyna Collective - She uses vocal toning, meditation, music, plants and reiki to help her clients with nervous system support, energy balancing, and mind-body connection. https://soundcloud.com/nicole-benisch Schedule ~ Doors Open at 6:00 Opening Circle and Ceremonial Cacao by Maggie Mason - 6:30 Beats by DJ Tara Ma - 7:00-8:45 Sound Journey/ Nicole B. 8:45 - 9:15 Closing Circle *Afterglow* TICKETS Early bird rate - $25 General Admission (pre-registration only) - $30 Door rate - $35 Cacao/Door - $5 Student rate - $20 CASH/DOOR ONLY (with cacao $25) Volunteer rate - FREE (must arrive at 4:30 p.m. and stay late to provide assistance with setting up, breaking down and carrying equipment) FREE TICKET - dance for free if you bring 2 new friends who have not come to Ecstatic Dance Providence before! $10 off if you put our cards on 5 community bulletin boards.
