.: Synergy Ecstatic Dance : Elkemist :.

Risen again and again from these ashes As phoenixes we dance in perpetual motion Spinning to the stillness and breathing as one~ . This movement session will be a practice of deep listening through your senses, awakening dormant codes of somatic cognition and unfolding authentic expression. Breathing deeply and flowing freely~ Coming back Home within. . This dance floor will be a safe space to express your process to the outer worlds without needing words. If you desire to converse, please move your chat to the chill zone to the right of the dj in the venue and keep voices to a whisper.. or take a breather outside. Keep voices down when on the street outside. . All expressions are indeed welcome; please feel empowered to laugh, cry, scream and shout. This is a sober space, to embody your emotions fully without reliance on use of substance. Clear mind, centered hearts. . We are propagating a consent-based culture: please tune in with clear yeses and no's when engaging with others on the dancefloor. This is a judgement free zone. Here is a space to embody what's moving within you. No cameras or footage allowed. One of our team may take photos of the dj to share for their own profiles, yet this isn't a space for recording others in their movement journeys. This is a space of presence and acceptance of all that is. . This will be a space to move to the beat of your heart, the rhythm of the depths of your being, and the spaces in-between sounds. Your movement is your authentic art, waiting to be poured out onto the canvas of space and time. . =Schedule= 6.45 - Doors open, welcome to come early to settle into the space 7pm - Opening Circle & Body Activation 7.15-9.15pm Music with Elkemist 9.15-9.45pm - Sound Bath with Aga Somaheart 9.45pm - Closing Integration Circle 10-10.30pm - Integration mingle flow 10.45pm - Time to flow onwards & vacate the space =Music= ~Elkemist~ Elkemist (Jase Aether) curates hybrid live DJ sound journeys that weave together elements of the organic and electronic – downtempo, bass, medicine music and world flavours with tribal rhythms. Punctuated by live instrumentation to support a full sound exploration, the goal of his sets is to encourage the wisdom and guidance of the body to be expressed, supported and released. For the past few years Elkemist has been offering sonic alchemy while co-creating ceremonial dance gatherings and intentional festivals around Canada and Australia to help cultivate collaboration, connection and healing for our expanding dance community.

She has over 12 years of professional experience working in the realm of holistic healing and expanded states of consciousness.

She carries a warmth, levity, and a great sense of humor in her work, encouraging you to curiously explore your inner landscape with compassion to heal your heart, refresh your soul, and awaken your authentic expression.
