Seattle Ecstatica: Presenting Bridgett Winters; West African Dance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ecstatic Dance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DJ: Bridgett Winters Embers Within calls you into the quiet, fierce warmth that endures beneath everything we carry. Tonight centers shared presence, with an extended closing circle held tightly and with intention. We’ll gather "fireside" to serve as sacred witness to each other, sharing what's real and making space for new threads of community to emerge. Enchanted by the magic of the ecstatic dance container and its radical permission to be real, Bridgett loves creating spaces where presence leads and connection flows. She’s especially in love with those juicy contact dances, when the music slows, the moment widens, and two people discover they’re riding the same delicious wave of aliveness. Bridgett is deeply inspired by the sacred practice of Closing Circle and previously served as consent program lead at Om. She works as a relational therapist, group facilitator, and event producer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pre-Dance Workshop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ West African Dance w/ Sarah Lee Parker and Baba ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Evening flow ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6:30pm - Doors Open 6:45pm - Workshop 8:00p - Dance begins 10:00p - Dance ends, closing circle 10:10p - Snacks & Socializing 11:00p - Doors close ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cost ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Workshop: free if attending dance Drop-in $20 Pass $90 (6 dances @ $15) Cash or Venmo at door or prepay online at omculture.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
