SPECIAL EVENT: Ecstatic Dance, A Mindful Movement event

We are excited to announce that the Community Meditation Circle is collaborating with community members to host an Ecstatic Dance Mindful Movement event on November 16. This event is titled "THERE ARE NO WORDS" which will help us access a somatic (body) understanding that our pain and traumas cannot be resolved solely through the mind, and sometimes words are inadequate to describe how we feel or to process through the gunk.

The event: On Sunday 11/16, we invite you to a free community event at Fountain Street Church from 7pm-830pm. All ages and bodies welcome. An LGBTQ-affirming event. A sober event held in conscious community. Street parking.

Purpose of event: To experience joy and fun through dance and movement; to explore how our bodies move; to release stuckness in the body; and to cultivate community through movement and presence.

What to expect: At 7pm, we will gather to establish group norms that are consent-centric, inclusive, and judgment-free. Please arrive on-time so that we can begin cultivating community right away. We will dance from 715-830pm and reserve the last 15 minutes for socializing and to close the circle.

What to wear/bring: We recommend wearing light, non-restrictive clothing and socks or no shoes (barefoot). Feel free to show up authentically. Bring your own water.

*****What is ecstatic dance (also called mindful movement)? It's simple - it's when we tap into ourselves and allow our bodies to move to the music. There is no right or wrong way to move your body. Think about what it feels like to be in a flow state or think about how you might dance in your kitchen - that's ecstatic dance. It's a free-flowing kind of movement sans expectations or judgment.
