# Event Details - **Event Name**: Radiant Rhythms Ecstatic Dance - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Ecstatic dance is an exceptional wellness practice exploring free expression through movement in a substance-free, facilitated, and inclusive environment. In ecstatic dance, there are no set steps or structures, you move however you feel moved to move. The goal is to get out of our heads and get in touch with our bodies, emotions, and the collective. The dance is constructed as a wave where the music starts out slowly and gradually increases in pace and intensity before coming down to resting. This structure facilitates easing into movement, building to an ecstatic state, and gradually releasing. Everyone can choose how they want to express themselves long as they don’t interfere with others’ self expression. In ecstatic dance, we co-create a safe space where everyone is free to be their authentic selves. The result is mental clarity, emotional freedom, and physical embodiment. The benefits of ecstatic dance include: Stress and tension relief Mindfulness and relaxation Somatic healing Self-expression Exercise and play Community and connection No experience necessary! We will provide instructions and ease you into the practice. The event begins with an opening circle where we get to know each other and share intentions, followed by an hour and fifteen minute playlist, and a closing circle to share reflections. We will spend time before and after the dance connecting in community. During the dance there is no talking. This helps us to connect with our bodies and each other nonverbally. The result is often a trance-like and ecstatic experience. 6:45 Doors open 7:00 Opening circle 7:30 Dance 8:45 Closing circle 9:00 Depart An Inclusive Space: All ages, genders, sexual orientation, and abilities welcome.
