Ecstatic Dance-Movement Group

Ramanda Brockett

Description: This is a perfect space for anyone who has ever wanted to try ecstatic dance but may have been too intimidated to join one in person. We'll be studying the main tenants of therapeutic, free-flowing, creative movement without judgements in the virtual setting, which is the perfect place to start. This is a great opportunity to dance past our own judgements and expectations, engage with our deeper levels of creative expression, and embrace movement as a natural form of connection to self and healing. Participation Guidelines from Ecstatic Dance International: Ecstatic Dance – 3 Simple Guidelines 1. We Dance without shoes (or: We Dance Barefoot) This allows us to connect more fully with the Ground (socks are OK) If you have a physical condition that you need dance shoes, then OK 2. We Dance without words (or: We Dance with Body Language) This makes it easier to be in a Meditative State No Verbal Instruction from the Facilitators No Talking from the Dancers 3. We Dance as We Are No Drugs/Alcohol, No Phones, No Camera/Video, No Scents, No Expectations, No Judgements, No Shoulds, No Oughts… Just Be Yourself; With Respect for Ourselves, the Space, and One Another.
