cacao ritual & ecstatic dance with laurin

​Ecstatic Dance is a practice of free-form dance, and encourages us to show up AS WE ARE. We follow the impulses of the body and spirit to move with the music, however the music moves you! There may be swaying, shaking, bouncing, crawling, clapping, stomping, and anything that feels right in the moment. 

Cacao is a heart-opening plant medicine that allows us to soften into the subtleties of our experience, and opens us up to more connection and love. Together the cacao and dance work beautifully together to create deeper connection to yourself and to your community. 

We start with grounding in our opening circle and infusing the cacao with our intention. We'll work with the breath to gently open up the heart space, then transition into our ecstatic dance. We allow the music to take over to induce a state of flow and bliss through movement, before ending with stillness and silence. This trance-like state will leave you feeling expressed, embodied, and deeply relaxed.

All are welcome! Dance barefoot or in socks. Wear something you are comfortable moving in, layers are recommended for our opening and closing circle.
