ECSTATIC DANCE TORONTO is very excited and honoured to be producing the second Ecstatic Chant ๐ in Toronto on โจ Saturday June 14 โจ with our local voice alchemist Chris Assaad ๐.
We will come together in community, in circle and in a beautiful open space with intention.
We will open our voices, we will sing musical affirmations, we will chant soul hymns, we will make sound intuitively, we will tap into the medicine of voice and use our voices playfully and powerfully to amplify ecstatic states and soulful vibrations.
This will be a safe and sacred space to explore, to play, to connect and to use your voice.
The experience will be guided by Chris Assaad and a beautiful curation of guest musicians and voice artists.
Come discover the pure bliss of freeing your voice, singing, chanting and making sound together in community.
All are welcome. No experience necessary.
This will be a co-creation with you and with all who choose to join us.
This is the second of what we intend will be a recurring event.
This is NOT:
โขโ โ A vocal technique workshop
โขโ โ A Kirtan offering
โขโ โ โ A Choir practice
โขโ โ โ A big purge fest

MEET ECSTATIC DANCE TORONTO
๐ If youโre ready to experience more embodied freedom ๐ฆ
and aliveness, while deepening your connection to life, Ecstatic Dance may be for you. ๐ Throughout history, people have practised some form of dance to alter our consciousness and connect with nature, others, and self. ๐ The modern-day movement of Ecstatic Dance brings us back to our roots.
โค๏ธ Ecstatic dance is freestyle dance - move however you wish - honour your body - dance with bare feet - no experience necessary - all ages, genders, cultures, sizes are welcome - respect yourself and one another - bring comfortable clothes to move in - bring water to drink - alcohol-free and recreational drug-free - safe and sacred space - let the music take you on a journey - see you on the dance floor!
We are Torontoโs leading weekly Ecstatic Dance community with nearly 1000 dances offered and counting founded by Julia Ray. Literally, tens of thousands have danced, healed and celebrated with us since our first dance in January 2006.
Join us for an uplifting evening of movement and heartfelt connection as we flow, express, and transform together as one human tribe every Thursday Night in Toronto. Dance like nobody is watching in a substance-free non-judgmental space for freedom and self-expression.
