FAQs

Who?

Hey babe! Are we just connecting now? Lemme catch you up to speed My name is Rachel and I’m your ecstatic dance facilitator on November 15th 💛✨🌼☀️

I graduated from Mariposa Movement Flight School 🦋 in 2022. What does that mean? I know how to hold your energy on the dance floor and facilitate an experience that’s more than just fun (and it is SO MUCH FUN). When I gather people to dance, we connect with our mind-body-spirit with the purpose of re-energizing so we can each lend our unique gifts and talents to the necessary liberation work in our lives.

What?

I offer ecstatic dance rituals with the intention of moving towards expansion in the mind, body, and spirit. Dance rituals are completely free form - no prior experience or training necessary! They begin with an opening circle to declare our shared intent for our dance journey, then flow through music curated based on Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms Method, and end with an integration circle to share the wisdom we’ve received through the dance.

Never done ecstatic dance before? Great! There's no experience needed. Because ecstatic dance is free form, just moving with the intuition of your body, you never have to worry about choreography or doing it "wrong." If you've ever been to a rave or danced in your kitchen you get the vibe. 

Folks dance in anything from yoga pants and a t-shirt to sparkle-bedecked jumpsuits with neon wigs. Really, the dance is whatever energy you bring to it, so grab what you feel most comfortable moving and feeling like a badass in and let's go!

It's always a good idea to bring water everywhere you go #MillenialVibes - but especially to places you may work up a sweat!

Why?

This descent into winter hits everyone differently, but honey I see you feeling the weight of it all. The world feels like its collapsing (maybe it is?) and the day to day is getting to difficult to handle. You need ritual, space, and movement to create the ncessary opennes to hold you in this spiraling inward journey. 

This dance is to slow down our movements, check in with our bodies, and allow the progression of fall into winter to live deep within our souls - making space for us to move inward while in support of community.
