Join us on Sunday June 22nd for an Alchemic Ecstatic Dance and Sound Healing experience: 🜂 Ground into the body 🜄 Release through rhythm 🜁 Activate imagination 🜃 Reclaim yourself through wild, embodied, free-form movement + sound ✧ Integrate it all through a restorative Sound Healing Journey THRESHOLD is an embodied ceremony rooted in the divine feminine, co-led by two powerful artists of transformation: 🌀Alchemic Ecstatic Dance: A Ritual in Motion🌀 w/Joy Okoye aka “Shakti Mama”: Blending the ritual structure of JourneyDance® with the liberatory pulse of Ecstatic Dance, Joy Okoye leads a soul-stirring journey where movement becomes medicine and the body becomes altar. Rooted in years of somatic facilitation, vocal channeling, and sacred storytelling, her sessions guide dancers through an elemental arc of grounding, release, imagination, and embodiment. Her sets fuse ancient-future bass, tribal trance, remixed top-40, and world-infused grooves, layered with improvised vocals and Light Language to open energy channels and awaken the wild truth within. This is a ritual in motion. A dance of transmutation. 🌀Sound Healing Journey 🌀 w/ Krystina of Soothing Somatic Sounds: After the dance, surrender into the medicine of pure vibration. Krystina weaves quartz crystal bowls, live looped vocals, and somatic frequency to invite you into full-body restoration and spiritual integration. This isn’t just a sound bath—it’s a sonic recalibration designed to tune your nervous system to Source. 🌀Sharing + Integration Circle🌀 Each Ecstatic TriDance gathering closes with a communal circle—an invitation to authentic connection, reflection, and grounding. This is not a therapy session, but a space to witness and be witnessed, integrating what moved through you on the dance floor. Sharing is always optional.

Ecstatic dance is a free-form movement - or dance - that's intended to lead to a feeling of ecstasy. It's a spirit-full practice that involves dancing without judgment or expectations, and without the need for a partner nor any dance experience. There are no steps to learn or follow - just the movement of your own body. Ecstatic Dances are often led by a DJ, sometimes with live drumming performances, and feature music that moves from slow to peak to stillness. The goal is to create a healing journey that takes participants from slow to unwinding to ecstasy, and then towards peace and serenity. Ecstatic dance has been around since ancient times and has been revived in the West since the 2000s. 🌀Ecstatic Tri-Dance spaces are safe and inclusive, welcoming ALL ages, ALL abilities, and individuals from ALL walks of life to freely express themselves through movement. No prior dance experience is required, just come as you are! No alcohol. No substances. Let the music and dance be your medicine. THIS is what LOVE looks like...All ages are welcome to become part of this vibrant community and share this journey of self-exploration, self-acceptance, and sacred ceremony. Questions?
