MoonDance is a spacious restival blending gentle ceremony, restorative breathwork, mellow ecstatic dance, community creativity, and a closing sound bath. Every part of the night is curated to downshift your nervous system, open your senses, and help you feel at home in yourself and in community. We bring the best of Seattle’s movement, sound, and creative arts into one soft, beautiful container—ending at 11pm so you can float home into delicious sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🌀 Opening Ceremony with Terry Pooler We begin together in a grounding drop-in ceremony led by ceremonialist and vocalist Terry Pooler. Through presence, intention, and soothing vocal textures, Terry helps you land gently in your body and in the shared space. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🌬 Gentle Breathwork with Phoenix Rose To deepen our arrival, Phoenix Rose guides a soft, accessible breathwork journey designed to widen your inner spaciousness and calm your nervous system. This practice opens the door for a deeper, more embodied dance later in the evening. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🎶 Mellow/Groovy Ecstatic Dance Music by DJ Nate Mladenovic A 2.5-hour ecstatic dance journey with DJ Nate Mladenovic, weaving mellow, groovy, soulful music designed to help your body unwind rather than intensify. No high peaks, no intense drops—just smooth flow, warm basslines, grounded rhythms, and music that nourishes. This is a dance for soft bodies, contact improv lovers, introverts, neurospicy humans, and anyone ready to move without pressure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🎨 Massive Art Cart with Aaron Nather of Reishi Creative Mobile Art Cart Explore your creativity with the massive Reishi Creative Mobile Art Cart—a rolling studio filled with supplies, textures, colors, and playful inspiration.
