You are invited to a cacao journey with our beloved community through a musical portal as we dance our hearts out! An Ancient Tradition of Embodied Love!
We (David + Amanda + Kelli Joy) are hosting this ecstatic dance as a way for us to connect and celebrate the Summer & growing Centered Community. Ecstatic dance is an opportunity to drop into your body and release emotions, anxieties, and stress through movement. It is an invitation to connect to your senses, to your aliveness, to ecstasy!
We invite all of you to the dance floor. This is a sober, conscious dance. Please share this event with anyone you think might benefit from this experience. We are so grateful to see this community growing and thriving!
