Forever Transcending Through Reverence - Mandala Springs Ecstatic Dance

Wahe Guru! Forever in reverence to life. As we linger in the afterglow of Foreverence, we invite you to gather with us at the beautiful Mandala Springs for an evening of community, ceremony, movement, and ecstatic dance. Join us on Thursday, July 30 as we bridge the heart of Foreverence with the spirit of Trancendance, our upcoming 3-Day Ecstatic Dance & Yoga Gathering taking place August 28-30 at Sacred Mountain Waters in Marshall, North Carolina. Together we'll share tea, cacao, Kundalini Yoga, music, connection, cold plunges, sauna, and an unforgettable ecstatic dance journey as we celebrate what has been and welcome what is to come.

Here at Mandala Springs we believe that conscious communication practices are critical for building a sustainable future. To create a share-based economy, or save forests we need to work together. To work together we need the skills to ask for what we want and hear others needs. We need the skills to rupture conflicts and bridge misunderstandings! Join us to practice! 🧘🏽‍♀️ Kundalini Yoga Activation with Wryn Magdalyn Before we dance, Wryn will guide a short yet powerful Kundalini Yoga practice designed to awaken the body, energize the nervous system, and activate prana. Through breath work, mantra, rhythmic movement, and meditation, we'll invite energy to rise through the spine, clearing stagnation while cultivating vitality, presence, and expanded awareness. This practice is accessible to most bodies and can easily be modified for different abilities and experience levels. 🎶 Live Music Cacao Circle with Medicine Woman Band Our evening begins with a heart-opening cacao ceremony facilitated by Alanna Collins and friends, accompanied by an intimate live acoustic offering. Together we'll set intentions, share prayers, and invite the gentle medicine of cacao to open our hearts before carrying that energy onto the dance floor. 💃🏽 Ecstatic Dance with DJ Magdalyn Magdalyn made her DJ debut in Asheville during the summer of 2024, beneath the rising influence of Venus.
