The summer solstice is here! Let's dance in celebration of the celestial bodies that help us keep the rhythms of our own mind-body-spirits. Expect some higher tempo music, trance tunes, and music that will remind you to ✨sparkle ✨
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 June 21st 💛✨🌼☀️
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.
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!

You're totally not alone - this spring emergence feels like we've have to go 0-100. Just as spring begins to peak out of the ground in verdant sprouts, we're already jumping ahead to the intensity of summer.
Honey, I promise you that's a quick way to anxiety and burnout.
This dance is to slow down our movements, check in with our bodies, and allow the progression of spring into summer to live deep within our souls - making space for us to move as fast or as slow as we need to emerge.
As the moon begins its monthly cycle, so too can we consciously cultivate new beginnings within ourselves. Our monthly New Moon Intention Circle offers a sacred space to meditate, connect with the unique energetic themes of the month, and set heartfelt intentions. Inspired by the Jewish tradition of Rosh Chodesh, a celebration of the new moon's renewal, we gather to honor this powerful time of potential. Discover a deeper connection to your inner wisdom, the cycles of nature, and a supportive community.
New Moon Circles are hosted outside at UW Picnic Point during warmer months and Bohemian Oasis during cooler months. Rain dates will be provided for outdoor New Moon Circles as needed. If you cannot attend the rain date, or the event is cancelled due to weather, you will receive a 100% refund.
