Sunday Morning Ecstatic Dance 5.31.26

Ecstatic Dance is a freeform movement journey, held in a safe and sacred container, facilitated by trained facilitators and professional DJs. It’s a place where we can be our unique selves, and also connected to a common source. LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE- We encourage you to buy tickets in advance to reserve your spot. Date: Sun May 31, 2026 Time: 11:30am - 2:30pm Flow (we will do our best with timing, we keep it slightly flexi in the moment) Warm-up: 11:30am - 12:15pm Opening Circle: 12:15pm-12:30pm Ecstatic Dance Journey (including cool down) 12:30 - 2:15pm Closing Circle: 2:15pm-2:30pm 🔥Warmup Leader: Christie Chandler aka Feral Faerie Goblin. Christie (usually found in her mud loving goblin form at local dances and festivals) is also a clinical herbalist, respiratory therapist, costume maker, strange performance artist and facilitator of feral playshops, interactive myth weaving ,and self care for spoonies workshops. Please be kind (of weird) with this creature. 🔥This week’s warm-up is meant to unbury and unchasten and embrace parts that may have been labeled too much or not enough. To give those parts a place to move, interact, be witnessed and to be coaxed back into our lives embracing the richness of unfettered play for our inner wild, mythical, monstrous, and imaginative creatures. ⭐The theme of this dance is the dance of self and other. Christie will be encouraging the option of family friendly contact improv and play, and also encouraging people to feel into themselves, release what other people might think, and really get into their bodies. ⭐Nothing is mandatory. All partnered and small group activities are optional. Options will be offered for those who do not want to participate in partner or group work. You are always welcome to stay in your own experience and move in whatever way feels right for you. 🎧 DJ Leading Our Dance Journey: DJ Indigo Indigo is a DJ who trusts in the body’s wisdom to move through emotions and release them. As a psychotherapist, she finds ways of weaving self-regulating wisdom into her sets. Dance is therapy, dance is devotion. Indigo loves all musical genres, but favors deep bass beats that encourage primal movement, and support grooving through stuck places in the body. Do not miss DJ Indigo’s beats. She will be guiding the dance journey with deep, embodied sound that invites release, expression, and full body movement. Ecstatic Dance as we know it began in the year 2000, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Little did we know that this would inspire a movement, a culture, and a community, that would spread across the world. ✨️Dance with us on Sunday mornings in gratitude for being alive. Sunday has long been seen as a day to celebrate the Divine! We tap into that in a non-dogmatic way. A space for unity, community & connection to something larger than ourselves.
