ECSTATICA: MOON-IVERSARY

It's ECSTATICA'S 3rd Anniversary under the Full Moon and we are having something up our sleeve...
About this Event

Three years ago, ECSTATICA began with a simple vision...

To create a space where people could gather sober, move freely, reconnect with themselves, and remember what it feels like to truly belong.

Since then, beautiful dances, countless hugs, tears, laughter, friendships, and unforgettable moments have unfolded on our dance floor.

******* IT'S OUR MOON-IVERSARY ******

As we welcome the light of the Harvest Full Moon , we celebrate three incredible years of music, movement, ceremony, and community. Whether you've been dancing with us since day one or this will be your first ECSTATICA, we'd be honoured to celebrate with you.

Let's make this one unforgettable.

🌿 OPENING CEREMONY

Bri & Randy Crossen | @thesoundofbalance

Back by popular demand, we'll begin the evening with a community drum circle. If you have a frame drum, djembe, shaker, or percussion instrument, bring it along and help us awaken the room together.

Ashley Gilmore | @ashleygilmoremusic

We're honoured to welcome our beloved wild angel, Ashley Gilmore, whose soulful voice and heartfelt presence have a way of opening hearts and inviting us home to ourselves. Through song, she creates moments that feel intimate, grounding, and deeply alive.

🎧LIVE SETS


🎧 SPECIAL GUEST

DJ STATIxXx (Sean Crandall) | Manitoulin Island

Travelling all the way from beautiful Manitoulin Island, Sean Crandall; aka DJ StatixXx, joins us for this special celebration. Describing himself as a "responsible goofball with soft insides," StatixXx is known for reading a room with heart, curiosity, and an adventurous musical spirit. His playful energy and diverse selections create dance floors that feel both electric and deeply human.

🎧 WIZDOMDJ (Sean Crites) | @wizdomdj

ECSTATICA co-founder Sean "Wizdom" Crites blends Tribal House, Organic House, Latin rhythms, Ethno-inspired beats, and deep bass into an ecstatic dance experience that is both grounding and wildly uplifting. With more than 30 years behind the decks, his sets invite you to lose yourself in rhythm while remembering exactly who you are.

2 Seans under one roof? Could be trouble & we have something up pur sleeve...but you have to come to find out!

🌙 CLOSING INTEGRATION

As the dance settles and the moon continues her climb , we'll gently land together.

Monica MotherTree will guide a nourishing sound and integration journey, allowing the body to absorb, soften, and carry the medicine of the evening home.

💛 NEW TO ECSTATIC DANCE?

Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement experience.

There are no steps to learn, no choreography to follow, and no expectation to dance a certain way.

Simply listen.

Move.

Rest.

Express.

At ECSTATICA, we co-create a welcoming, sober, judgment-free space where movement becomes medicine and strangers become community.
