Ecstatic Dance and Sound Healing

Join us for a lovely, ecstatic dance accompanied by a playlist curated by Chana, and concluding with sound healing provided by Rebecca White Raven.

Chana and Rebecca invite you to come as you are and be ready to let go, release, and then bring in all this new energy.

Ecstatic dance offers a space for people to let go of inhibitions, connect with themselves and others, and experience the joy of movement in its purest form. It can be a deeply transformative and liberating practice for those who engage with it regularly.

DJ Chana weaves music from all genres and backgrounds into her playlists. She invites those present to go deep and experience the magic of ecstatic dance.

Rebecca White Raven is an Ottawa based musician, kirtan artist and sound healer. From her perspective, life is too short to live it for anyone else. She enjoys finding what she loves and putting her energy there --- this means music, sound, people, meditation, dancing, playing, connecting with nature. When Rebecca discovered sound healing, it vibrated with her in a wonderful way. An organic and natural path occurred to bring her to a place of spiritual connection through the use of sound. This included studying the works of inspiring sound healers like Tom Kenyon and Jonathan Goldman, as well as in-person sound healing training with Jay Schwed and Jeremy Sills, and vocal programs with Elijah Ray and Barclay McMillan. Rebecca is currently inspired and fulfilled by using sound to raise the vibration of others. She spends much of her energy now feeling empowered and light, and sharing this with others. She loves helping others to discover their inner joys, release their fears and inhibitions, and let go of old patterns of belief that no longer serve them. And she does this through sound, song and dance. Find more about Rebecca and her offerings at
