Through dance, we believe everyone can discover, explore, unleash, and enhance their individual potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. By engaging our senses and listening to our bodies, we connect to others and shape a consciousness that extends beyond our own. ~ Some Loving Guidelines ~ In order to create the ideal container, let's: ~ Allow ourselves freedom from cell phones ~ Let go of judgments of self and others – your dance is your unique expression ~ Connect with our bodies while respecting our “yes” and honoring our “no” ~ Be mindful to the boundaries of others and the space that we share ~ Let our dance be our voice, instead of words, during the ecstatic dance ~ Give our feet back their soul by removing our shoes in the movement space ~ Respect the privacy of the container so that our truest expression can be unlocked Please - ~ No shoes, cell phones, or photography in the movement space ~ Reserve conversations for the community spaces during the ecstatic dance ~ Practice consent - let’s do our best to make this is a safer space ~ Be clear minded - this is a substance/alcohol-free event :) The event is for ages 18+ (except for special dates) Our goal is to create loving and inclusive events. This will be a safer space for people of all colors, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientation. Please practice proper consent and be mindful of the friends around you. Guardians of the Vibe will be on location to support if needed. ✨ InSpirit is generally a camera-free event. We wanted to give you a heads up that tonight, the amazing photographer Melissa Robin Photography will be taking a few shots. During the dance - she will only take photos from 10-11pm (the higher energy time). ~ Admission ~ Get your tickets here: inspiritmay.eventbrite.com $24/$34 (pay what you can) online $16 Low Income Offering (Limited amount) $26-40 (sliding scale) at the door (event may sell out before doors) We kindly ask that our guests get their ticket online so we can be better prepared with quantities of cacao, tea, kava etc. It will also allow you quicker access to the event.
