Lauren Bartfai from Sonic Expression will use the gong to help move and reset the body through its sound vibrations.

Purchasing tickets through eventbrite is prefered but there is cash at the door available or etransfer to [email protected].

What to bring/not to bring!

****Bring water/water bottle. There is a refill station.

****Very important!! This is a scent free/alcohol free event. Please refrain from wearing perfume/cologne as we are mindful of those who have sensitivities! We may burn a small amount of sage or Paolo Santo so if you have a sensitivity to this please inform .

****Bringing something healthy and delicious to share at the end is always welcome. I will always have something ready to nourish and ground .

**** You are welcome to bring drums and shakers or any musical instruments you feel inclined to bring. Hula hoops and scarves are fun dance mates! Dress in comfy layers as it can certainly vary in tempature so dress in layers. Most likely you will get hot so bring layers to take off! Wear what ever clothing you feel good in!

**** You may also want to bring a blanket and or yoga mat for the sound healing or mediation at the end.


What event looks like

3PM Please arrive, take your shoes off, ground, stretch, wiggle, dance, connect with friends or go inward and meditate in a quiet space.

3:10pmish Opening Circle/ Natalina or another facilitator will lead us through a land acknowledgement, go over agreements and open up dance with a grounding practice of breath and presence.

3:15ish-5ish Ecstatic Dance Journey

5-5:20ish Sound Healing

Our ecstatic dance journey will start and as usual there is no talking unless something is urgent. Sounding is welcome. We play a variety of rhythms and beats from around the world that encourage movement and expression! The journey starts in a low beat to give your body the chance to ground, connect and warm up. The rhythms and beats progressively increase to an energetic peak and slowly come back to conclude with a smooth landing back into stillness.

We'll gather for Closing Circle to sound and harmonize a little together and share reflections from the night (only if we wish). Snacks will be passed around and our circle will be open for socializing until 5:45pm.

WHAT IS ECSATIC DANCE??? One of the many great things about ecstatic dance is that it is free form movement and therefore everyone can do it! No matter what age, what gender, or what culture you are and no matter what actual dance experience you have ... ....none of that dictates your capacity to ecstatic dance! It's about the flow, the organic movement and the freedom to be! There is NO right way or wrong way!


With the many ways we have to pre-qualify and validate our status as human beings in order to engage in life, I find it deeply liberating that there is a space that simply accepts me and you for who we are. A place for our nervous system to recoup and just move freely to amazing beautiful music in a safe welcoming environment. Bring all of you. And please feel free to reach out with questions to [email protected]
