Join us for Ecstatic Dance: an invitation to drop out of the mind and into the body, to listen, release, and reconnect.
About this Ecstatic Dance event
In the quiet embrace of The Monastery, we gather to move - not for performance, but for presence.
Through sound and movement, we explore freedom and emotion. The carefully curated wave guides us from gentle openings to deep rhythms then to silence.
Let this be a time to come home to yourself.
No dance experience needed - only a willingness to move and be moved.
Bring water, comfortable clothes, and an open heart.
Leave shoes, words, and expectations at the door.

What can I expect?
