'Ouroboros' AMC Friday Evening Ecstatic Dance w Guest Suede Raven

Friday, February 20th Ecstatic Dance 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm | Warmup 7pm | Opening Circle 7:30 pm Guest DJ Suede Raven | Facilitator Kris Hostkikka Intention: Ouroboros Where endings feed beginnings, where the serpent consumes its own tail not in destruction but in transformation. Move through all of it: the death of what was, the fertile void between breaths, and the emergence of what's becoming. We dance the spiral. Returning to where we began, yet never quite the same. Expect a soundscape weaving ambient meditation, global bass, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, UK garage, and ecstatic peaks. A sonic wave for your infinite becoming. Dance your cycles. Dance your completions and your fresh starts. Dance the truth that you are always both ending and beginning. About Suede Raven: Suede Raven (Ginkgo, they/them) moves floors with deep, cinematic bass and unexpected turns. With over a decade of ecstatic dance experience, they’ve honed a style that blends global rhythms, lush electronica, heavy synths, indie gems, and throwback dance heat. Rooted in connection and movement as liberation, Ginkgo builds dance waves that carry bodies from introspection to full-body release. Expect genre-bending soundscapes, hypnotic drops, and tracks that make you forget where the night ends and the next chapter begins.
