In meditation

reveals itself slowly
as it really is: in peace,
in subtle light and in silence
which calms your whole body.

Then we Live from

'Ouroboros' AMC Friday Evening Ecstatic Dance w/ Guest DJ Suede Raven
Location not specified yetFriday February 20th
Evening Dance Wave 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm | Warmup 7pm | Opening Circle 7:30 pm
Guest DJ Suede Raven, Gingko Moon | Supporting Facilitator Kris HostikkaIntention: Ouroboros
Where endings feed beginnings, where the serpent consumes its own tail not in destruction but in transformation.
Move through all of it: the death of what was, the fertile void between breaths, and the emergence of what's becoming. We dance the spiral. Returning to where we began, yet never quite the same.
Expect a soundscape weaving ambient meditation, global bass, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, UK garage, and ecstatic peaks. A sonic wave for your infinite becoming.
Dance your cycles. Dance your completions and your fresh starts. Dance the truth that you are always both ending and beginning.
Hear Suede Raven on SoundCloud.~~~

Musical selections will cover downtempo, organica, slow house, global bass, cinematic compositions, Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) and world music. The intro builds with a gradual hypnotic layering of rhythm, into more intense and complex structures, until the wave breaks, retracts and reforms into the soft stability of a deeply integrated stillness.Micah Swabb (DJ Mikaya) is a facilitator at AMC and creator of dance waves with many styles and flavors within the Ecstatic Dance realm. His deejay skill has spanned over two decades covering many ecstatic dance containers, festivals, sound healing events and yoga classes. You can listen to his catalog of over 80 mixes and mashups at http://soundcloud.com/mikayaswabb.
