.: Synergy Ecstatic Dance : Kukāro :.

Evoke your Spirit Awaken your body Ignite your senses Drop into your somatic essence ~ . *This time we dance on a Monday due to venue availability the week of Valentines Day! Be sweet with your loved ones, beauties~* . 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 7.15pm - Roots Flow Movement with Rae 8.15pm - Music with Kukāro 10.15pm - Sound Bath with Astika 10.45pm - Closing Integration Circle 11-11.30pm - Integration mingle flow 11.45pm - Time to flow onwards & vacate the space =Music= Kukāro Kukāro aka Will Sacks, is a Canadian-born musician, producer and DJ currently residing in Nashville TN.

People leave feeling centred and energised or calm and relaxed. A workshop that leaves you feeling like YOU again. With an upbeat, multi-genre playlist; embracing the rave-spirit. A safer space to unleash. Be prepared to be challenged mentally and physically with floor-based flow movement that enhances strength, mobility and joint resilience. When we open up the body; we open up the mind. We let energy move though us, emotions that are ‘stuck’ can move, this releases tension and creates space for joy and inner peace! Rae, the curator of Roots Flow Movement, believes that joyful experiences remind us of our true nature and help us to cultivate a higher baseline of happiness. Rae brings a fusion of yoga, Animal Flow and Natural Movement. IG: @rootsflowyoga www.rootsflow.com =Sound Bath= Astika Sound Healing Hypnosis with Astika~ Astika is a clinical hypnotherapist who uses sound healing as a tool to bring people into hypnosis. Enjoy the soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls, chimes, rain sticks, and other sound healing instruments- as you follow her guidance into a deep state of relaxation. (hypnosis) . *a note on hypnosis * All hypnosis is self-hypnosis! You have full control of your mind. When you bring yourself into hypnosis, you quiet the conscious mind (chatter brain) and open your subconscious mind. This allows any clarity, insights, or downloads to come through. . Astika's intention is to support you in finding your way to this deep state of calm, so you can slow down your thoughts, soothe your nervous system, and let your body fully relax. She is located in Maple Ridge, where she offers gentle and restorative yoga, group & private hypnotherapy and more! . You can find Astika on instagram @bliss.begins.within and facebook @astika.rose (Begin Within) . She is looking forward to offering Sound Healing Hypnosis at Synergy and sharing this time together! . =Spring Water= We will be providing fresh spring water from Lynn Valley.

The remainder of tickets will be released after midnight for $40 on the day of the event. We will also accept $40 cash at the door if there is space. . We are keeping the capacity low to allow space for fully expressive movement. We will keep the page updated when we are nearing capacity. . We also have created a Facebook Group for our growing community. This is a space for expression about your experiences through dance, and also sharing events that are in resonance with the guidelines. Please join and invite your friends~ https://www.facebook.com/groups/synergy.ecstaticdance.community .
