Ecstatic Dance Express, feel, liberate

Join us for an evening of **Ecstatic Dance** led by **Megan Hill**, a seasoned Sacred Dance Facilitator and Biodynamic Breathworker. Megan has been guiding conscious dance circles in Kingston for over 6 years, bringing people together to explore the transformative power of movement, breath, and presence.

This **Ecstatic Dance** event will begin with a welcoming **Opening Circle** followed by **gentle stretching** and **breathwork** to warm up the body and mind. As we drop into the dance, the space will be held for a freeing and authentic exploration of movement, where you are invited to express yourself fully, shedding any limiting thoughts or judgments.

After the dance, we will gently **guide you into a stretch and self-reflective practice**, (Jan.10th, Feb.7th , March 7th) or letting yourself be bathed in live music provided for integration, bring a blanket mat and pillow ( Jan.31st, Feb.28th, March 21st) allowing you to connect with yourself in a grounding way.

The event will close at 9:45 PM with a **community social**, where you can relax, connect, and share your experiences with fellow dancers if you wish.

This is a **drug- and alcohol-free event** where we create a sacred space for healing, expression, and community building. No prior dance experience is necessary – just bring your open heart and willingness to move!

**About Ecstatic Dance:**

Ecstatic Dance is a freeform, movement-based practice where you can explore your body’s natural rhythms, release stored emotions, and cultivate a deep sense of presence. It is not about perfection or technique but rather about feeling the music and letting it guide you. This type of dance encourages freedom, self-expression, and connection with the collective energy of the group.

**Dance Floor Guidelines:**

To ensure a safe, inclusive, and sacred space for all participants, we ask that you observe the following dance floor rules:

1. **Respect the Space** – Create a container of support and non-judgment where all feel safe to explore their movement.

2. **No Talking on the Dance Floor** – This encourages a deeper connection to your body and the music.

3. **No Shoes or Bare Feet Only** – This allows us to connect deeply with the energy of the space and the earth.

4. **Respect Personal Boundaries** – Maintain physical space and seek consent before engaging in close or partnered movement.

5. **Stay Present** – Let go of distractions and focus on your own experience in the moment.

6. **Be Mindful of Others** – If you need to step off the dance floor, please do so with awareness and respect for the group dynamic.

We look forward to dancing together in community and celebrating the joy of movement, connection, and transformation. See you on the dance floor.

Feel free to bring water, comfortable clothing, yoga mat, even a blanket for the final relaxation and an open mind!
