Venus Rising: A Feminine-Centered Ecstatic Dance

​​​ ​Venus Rising: A Feminine-Centered Ecstatic Dance Experience​​​​​ ​ What if you didn’t have to earn what you receive? ​ This is an experiment in centering the feminine… and restoring beauty, reverence, and authenticity in how we relate. It’s an opportunity to: uplift the feminine honor and redefine the masculine as presence, care, and integrity explore ways of relating that create spaciousness and genuine connection ​ This isn’t about excluding anyone. It’s about giving all of us a lived experience of something different. * Opening circle with clear consent guidelines * A JourneyDance-inspired warm-up to unwind the body * A ritual exploring receiving, presence, and offering * A rich, evocative, free-form ecstatic dance wave (not guided!) * A closing soundscape for integration At the heart of the experience, we’ll explore with "The Receiving Lab" We'll explore feminine (receptive) and masculine (directional) energies as non-gendered states of attention or roles that any body can step into and feel and explore different qualities of Its a space to: receive without performing offer without agenda connect without pressure ​ This will be a space to gently re-pattern how we relate… and begin to heal the divide between giving and receiving. Expect there to be dark chocolates and perhaps a giant throne! ​ Consent-centered • Substance-free • All bodies welcome Saturday April 18, 2026 from 2:30-4:30pm ​​ Again join us: Friday May 22, 2026 from 7-9:30pm ​ It is necessary to arrive on time in order to land together with common agreements. ​​ Common Street Spiritual Center 13 Common St. Natick, MA ​​​
