Shanteel Yoga Sanctuary | Sellersville, PA
✧Ecstatic Dance Journey Guided by Joy Lynn Okoye

✧Bring in the Light✧
On the darkest night of the year, we gather to move, pray, and breathe the light back in—for ourselves, for our beloveds, and for this world. This (Winter) Solstice Portal weaves a guided Ecstatic Dance Journey + Ritual, live music improv from Scott Pehnke & friends, plus vocal alchemy and a vibrational healing sound bath with Joy. This consciousness-expanding ceremonial experience is a blend of sound, movement, intention, and vibrational medicine.
We gather as friends, beloveds, family, and new friends—all together in community—to be advocates for peace and love through the universal language of music, dance, and vocal harmony.
