.: Synergy Ecstatic Dance : Raghunath Khe :.

*Updates to our scheduling! Please read full event description* . Clearing the fear Embodying the change Echoing our true hearts desire as we dance through this life~ . 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. . *We have evolved the structure of our events moving forwards, removing the workshop portion and simplifying the event to be focused more on coming together in ecstatic dance.
