Ecstatic Dance Vienna - Winter Solstice Special

Dear beautiful people, On the 21st of December we´ll gather to celebrate the Winter Solstice: The longest night of the year, the turning point where darkness gives birth to light. As we step into this sacred space, we honor the stillness, the quiet, the mystery that lives in the dark - and the spark within each of us. Let this dance be our way of releasing the old, calling in the new, and remembering that even in the deepest night, the light is already returning. Thank you for bringing your presence, your breath and your heartbeat. Let’s move together into the new cycle! _________________________________ 17:30 Arriving in Silence: We ask you to come onto the dancefloor in silence to prepare for the journey ahead 18:00 Opening Circle 18:15 Opening Prayer & Dance Introduction by Antara Dakini Antara is fully committed to the path of transformation, truth, growth, and self-knowledge.

To provide a „Sacred space“ for inner and outer movement. A Space where we connect to ourselves through Dance, Meditation and Prayer. A space where it is welcome to be you in all of your glory – in all of your aspects, seen and unseen. It is a space where transformation, relief or an emotional process can happen. Of course, none of that must happen. Just know that it can and that the space welcomes it. It's a place to float in trance, to go on your own inner dance journey. It's a place to explore how I relate to myself and the other – each encounter can be a practice of mindfulness. Do I judge, do I try to please, am I authentic in my presence and how does it feel when I am not? And, it's a place to dance, of course. The variety of expression of movement is infinite. We invite you to express all that you feel through your movement! It's a place to roll on the ground, jump, be crazy, have fun, laugh, cry and be. We believe that dance is a universal language which can bring us closer together as a human family. We as a community are consciously co-creating and holding that space together. We as the initiators are giving our best to keep the space clear and clean. We want to create the most amazing dancefloor that is possible – together with you. Please, be a part of it. And please, respect the space! The most important guidelines: No talking on the dancefloor, No alcohol and no drugs, No movies or pictures, Respect your own space and that of each other. This video sums it up quite well:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTnRHkMChbI
