Ecstatic Dance at Hope Flower Farm

Ecstatic Dance at Hope Winery

Join us for an afternoon of embodied movement! Throughout human history, people have practiced some form of dance as a way of altering one’s consciousness and connecting with nature, other, and self. The modern day movement of ecstatic dance brings us back to these ancient practices. In its most basic definition ecstatic dance is a free-form dance movement inspired and led by carefully crafted music with the intention of creating a healing journey. The music follows a wave form, starting slow, moving to a peak, and descending into stillness. No dance experience or partner is necessary or needed. On one hand it’s a perfect outlet for those who think they “can’t dance” because they were taught that to “know” how to dance is to move in a certain way. On the other hand it is a luscious playground for experienced movers and dancers craving for a free space to express amongst community.

The dance will last about 1 hour and be held in the Dairy Barn. Wear comfy clothes to move in. The tasting room and grounds will be open for about an hour after the dance and we hope you take that time to decompress and enjoy their incredible property.
