🌟 What Is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic Dance is a freeform dance meditation that invites you into joyful expression, deep embodiment, and community connection in a safe, substance-free container.
This experience is a collaboration between the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington and Soul Fire Experiences, hosted by Ari Azizkhan-Gould (DJ electro-cute) — local DJ, conscious event curator, and lifelong ecstatic dancer. Expect a musical journeys influenced by global sounds, diverse eras, and playful energy designed to awaken your body and inner child. Flow arts are encouraged and many flow props are provided!
The event includes:
• Embodiment warm-up
• Dance meditation with live DJ
• Sound healing cool-down
• Two-room experience: dedicated dance floor + cozy chill-out room with pillows, blankets, and local vendors (energy/tarot readings, bodywork, jewelry & more)
