FRIDAY DANCE DOSE
A freeform dance embodiment practice—sometimes called "ecstatic dance"—though all states of being are welcome (not just ecstasy). Come as you are, with your truth. Through the wisdom of our bodies, we process reality for ourselves and the collective.

Each session features an intuitively curated mix of music, selected by our facilitators—something fresh and different every time. We come together, immersing ourselves in the medicine of dance, feeling alive, and allowing movement to unfold naturally. This practice creates a powerful, transformative space with ripples beyond the dance floor.

  • Move however your body is called to—there are no steps to follow, no "right" way to dance.
  • You may feel stillness at times or wild expression at others.
  • Dance solo or with others, stay in one spot, or move freely around the room.
  • Whether you resonate with the music or feel resistance, you're invited to move with whatever arises.
  • Verbal cues from facilitators are suggestions only—you are your ultimate authority.
