Soul Flow is a conscious event concept that goes beyond going to a dance floor to escape the problems of the world.

Soul Flow is a place where we can educate and empower ourselves to create a world we don’t have to escape from.

We dance in our truth and authenticity.

You will leave a Soul Flow event activated, grounded, and ready to support and advocate for your community with the unique magic you bring.

Soul Flow activations center around nervous sysytem regulation and holding space for conscious conversations about social issues, current world events and universal humans rights to empower us to understand and uplift these issues instead of feeling powerless. We expand into our power and unique wisdom and bring this new level of awareness beyond the container -- back to the collective.
