WAYFINDER: Sol Dance's Monthly Ecstatic Dance with Live Drumming + Vendors at Ambient + Studio, ATL

way·find·er /ˈwāˌfīndər/ noun: wayfinder; plural noun: wayfinders; noun: way-finder; plural noun: way-finders ie. A Wayfinder is someone who, in the midst of chaos, can access an inner compass that always points true north. In every soul, there is a compass—a deep knowing and a pull towards something greater than the awareness of self. On Sunday, February 9th at 12P, we invite you to awaken your embodied inner navigator and allow it to guide you through movement, music, and intuition toward your own unique path. As a Wayfinder, you will continually ensure that you stay on the right, true course using deep self-knowledge and intense observation of your thoughts, actions, and habits. Whether you feel lost or aligned, hesitant or ready, this is your invitation to listen deeply and move freely—to find direction not through thought, but through the wisdom of your body. 🌬️ In the face of chaos, trust the current. You are your own Wayfinder. 🌊✨ PSA: Introducing "2ND SUNDAYS" (our monthly mainstay dance event - happening every second Sunday of the month) to you so that you always know when the next dance will be - no matter what (unless otherwise advertised due to weather or other circumstances). "Pay-What-You-Can" ticketing (sliding scale of $20-$35) is currently live so please share this information with your friends. We also won't allow professional photography or videography to be present on the dance floor - for this dance - to ensure that the space feels contained and safe for everyone to show up no matter what. So, let us do just that and show up for each other - Inclusively, uninhibited without distraction, safely, and completely able to process the extent of our human experience. As well as express our desires for global peace & cosmic harmony through dance & community! 🌍❤️ MEET OUR EVENT FACILITATORS: 🎧 Co-Founder & Resident DJ - Scott Houston - sharing a live Ecstatic Dance DJ set! 🌺 Co-Founder & Ceremonialist Maya Lemberg serving as MC 🪘Percussion Lead - AJ Nocito 🌀 Opening Embodied Warm-Up with Estonia Elizabeth of AfroCon Tribe ✨ Closing Sound Journey by The AfroCon Tribe featuring Zai'Ra Paige, King Kanyini, Estonia Elizabeth 🖼️ Live Painting by Kelly Freespirit EVENT FLOW: Noon - Space Opens 12:20 PM - Embodied Warmup with Estonia Elizabeth 12:50 PM - Welcome & Orientation with Maya & Scott 1:00 PM - Opening Meditation with Maya Lemberg 1:10 PM - Ecstatic Dance with Scott Houston 2:40 PM - Sound Healing with The AfroCon Tribe 2:50 PM - Closing Circle with Maya & Scott 3:00 PM - Event Ends 4:00 PM - Space Closes ARTISAN MARKET VENDORS: 💆🏼‍♂️ Wellness Activation curated by Be One Collective 🐝 Hive Vibe Elixers from Hive Holistics 🌮 Vegan Tacos from Tacos & Giggles 🪇 Ceremonial Rattles by Aumdoc's Rattlehead 🙌🏻 Reiki Sessions by Golden Aura Healing 🪴 Sustainable Terrariams by Teeny Terrariums 📿 Healing Resources by Natural Wonder Wellness 🦄 Clothing & Crafts from Whimsy Van Winkle 📒 Mother's Tounge Planners by Steffi Nicole 🫖 Teas & Body Buddahs by Muva Mystick 👩🏻‍🎨 Face & Body Painting by Brooke Creates 💦 Living Water compliments of Vital Vessels To inquire about vending at future events, submit an application using our Collaborator Form.

WHAT WE DO: Sol Dance is a free-form movement experience where all bodies are welcomed. We offer a gently guided sensory journey meant to be experienced in its entirety. The music is meticulously curated by Sol Dance Resident DJ & Co-Founder – Scott Houston – alongside talented guest DJs, percussionists & sound healers. You can expect a culturally-diverse blend of electronic and acoustic sounds, skillfully attuned to the energy of the group. Beginning with an opening meditation and moving into deeper, slower sounds, the bpm & energy peak in the middle, and are finally brought back down, closing with meditative sound healing and a gratitude circle.
