We heard the call, and Ecstatic Dance at Sacred Ally is back! Join us for a sacred, substance free Sunday morning dance party where movement is your medicine.
Imagine dancing in community, completely immersed in intentional music, so present that external perception fades away. You are fully in flow, embodied, and overtaken by pure feeling and expression. This is the magic of Ecstatic Dance.
Ecstatic Dance is an invitation to dive deep into yourself, using movement as a gateway to presence. It’s a space where your body moves freely, responding to the rhythm and energy around you, while activating the sensory circuits of the brain and releasing endorphins. It’s more than just dancing—it’s a connection with your heart, your body, and the present moment.
What to Expect: Together, we co-create a supportive and judgment-free space for freedom of expression both physically and emotionally. All bodies are welcome as we move together, setting personal and collective intentions for healing, celebration, and connection.
Before we begin, we’ll open the space with collective breath and intention setting, inviting you to fully drop into your body. Whether you're new to Ecstatic Dance or a returning dancer, this ceremony helps ground you, preparing you for the transformative experience ahead.
Our Dance Guidelines:
BE Present – No phones, no cameras on the dance floor.
BE Embodied – No talking on the dance floor.
BE Consensual – Honor personal boundaries. Listen for a Yes, respect a No.
BE Clear – No intoxicants on the dance floor.
BE Free – Dance how you want to. No judgment.
BE Here – No shoes on the dance floor.
This is your time to drop into sensation, feeling, and freedom. Let your mind take the backseat, and let your body lead the way.
Join us this month and experience the power of Ecstatic Dance. All bodies and hearts are welcome as we create a safe space for personal and planetary healing, celebration, and communion.
