+ SOBER FUN connecting with yourself and others in a safe space without drinking & drugs

  • "ecstatic dance has been one of the most liberating experiences of my life. there's something so raw and primal about moving your body without judgment, without steps, without expectations. I felt a deep connection to myself, to the music, and to the people around me. it's a beautiful way to express emotions that words can't capture. after each session, i feel lighter, more grounded, and more connected to my inner self."

    Testimonial from Sandra

  • "the first time I attended an ecstatic dance session, i was a bit hesitant. i wasn't sure what to expect. But once the music started and I began moving, I realized how much I needed this. It's like a release, a way to shake off all the tension and stress from everyday life. It helped me reconnect with my body in a way I hadn't experienced before. Now, it's my favorite form of movement therapy!"

    Testimonial from Debbie

  • "what I love most about ecstatic dance is that it's completely free-form. There's no right or wrong way to do it. It's just about letting go and moving in whatever way feels right for you. i was shy at first, but the community is so supportive, and there's such an inclusive, non-judgmental vibe. By the end of the night, I felt euphoric. It's helped me become more comfortable with my body and more open emotionally."

what makes it a safe space?

The dance floor is a non-verbal space

We join together to create a safe and sacred space for movement. Eliminating talking on the dance floor allows us to move out of our heads and into our bodies, hearts, and souls. We leave behind the words and worries of the day and connect with spirit and one another in new ways.

The dance floor is a place of respect and safety

Ecstatic Dance has been created as a safe container, whether we’re dancing alone or with others. Ecstatic Dance is contact-friendly, but keep in mind that we all have different levels of comfort when it comes to being approached and touched. Please be mindful and make sure the way you approach other dancers is resonant with them. If somebody offers you a shared dance and you are not interested, simply give them a bow with hands at your heart to say, “no thank you”.

The dance floor is a strictly sober space.

Please keep the dance floor free from:
Talking, street shoes, photos, videos & glass bottles

If you feel overwhelmed during the dance feel free to seek Laura out for emotional support.
