Somatic Surrender Summer Series:
🌿🌀🔥Root, Flow & Flame🔥🌀🌿
Join us for a transformational summer of somatic movement, music, and ecstatic release as we explore the SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA.
Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)
The solar plexus chakra is the center of personal power, confidence, and self-worth. Located in the upper abdomen, it fuels our motivation, boundaries, and ability to take inspired action. When balanced, it helps us trust ourselves, assert our needs, and move through life with clarity and courage.
What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic dance is a presence practice, a form of dance movement that aims to induce a state of ecstasy, characterized by an emotional and physical release. It is a free-form practice, where individuals move their bodies freely to music, without adhering to specific steps or choreography. The primary goal is to surrender to the mystery of rhythm and allow the body to express itself spontaneously, leading to potentially meditative and euphoric experiences.
Benefits:
-Reduced stress and anxiety
-Increased self-awareness and emotional intelligence
-Improved mind-body-spirit connection
-Enhanced sense of unity and community
Overall, ecstatic dance is a powerful and expressive practice that invites individuals to surrender to their body’s innate wisdom and to the music, leading to a profound and transformative experience.

Nothing opens the heart faster than music and dance. Music taps into frequencies that vibrate the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual layers of our being. Vibrating these layers allows us to keep our channel clear and flowing so that we can meet the world in the present moment without the baggage of our past or future.
Breath, sound, and movement are encouraged. The dance floor has seen it all. All of you is welcome. All is offered up to be healed and celebrated. We look forward to meeting you on the dance floor!
💃🏻, Karen & Dana
