What is Ecstatic Dance?

Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement practice where participants dance without any structured steps or choreography, often with the aim of achieving a state of mental and physical liberation. This practice is rooted in the idea that dance is a natural and universal way to express emotions, connect with others, and release stress.

The atmosphere is non-judgmental and supportive, encouraging dancers to move in any way they feel called, creating a safe space for personal expression and emotional release.

What is Ceremonial Cacao?

Ceremonial Cacao is a form of cacao prepared specifically for use in rituals and ceremonies, often to facilitate heart-opening experiences and spiritual connections. Unlike commercially processed chocolate, ceremonial cacao is made from high-quality, raw cacao beans, minimally processed to retain its natural compounds and energetic properties. This type of cacao is believed to have numerous physical and spiritual benefits, including enhancing mood, promoting mental clarity, and fostering a sense of interconnectedness.

What is Yoga Nidra?

Yoga Nidra, often referred to as "yogic sleep," is a guided meditation practice that induces deep relaxation and a state of conscious awareness between waking and sleeping. Yoga Nidra aims to quiet the mind, release tension, and promote profound rest and rejuvenation. It is considered a powerful tool for managing stress, improving sleep, and enhancing overall well-being. By reaching the state of Yoga Nidra, practitioners can access deeper levels of consciousness, leading to healing, personal insight, and a sense of inner peace.
