Ecstatic Dance offering for a limited time!
with special guest, The Flora Grimoire (Alexandra Wendt)
In-Person In-Studio or Via Zoom
Ecstatic Dance is a freeform movement practice that incorporates elements of somatic therapies with ancient methods of processing emotions with a non-judgmental approach to expression. Rooted in the desire for exploring that expression and how it leads us, the dance is an open space, with guidelines for safety. All genres of music are offered and carefully selected to enhance the practice. Participants are welcomed to dress in a way that suits them for comfort, including costuming embodiment. Feel free to dress to express, come as you are or in yoga clothes. All forms are welcome! At the end, we will have time to cool down and share our movement experience.
Dance classes are available at Chi-Town Shakti for May only! Sign-up for in-person or online.

Rules & Agreements
1. Noble Silence - When the practice begins, we enter into non-verbal communication and remain this way until closing circle.
2. Independent Choice - Free your authentic self and take what you need; you may leave quietly any time during the practice or be in stillness instead of movement.
3. Consent - If you wish to engage with someone in the dance, you may approach while getting clear consent through eye contact. If you would not like to be engaged, then use the prayer hands approach as a gentle and clear, “No, thank you.”
4. Come As You Are - Any way you feel will be accepted within the dance. We are not offering a professional therapy space so please bear in mind what is appropriate for the group to hold with you.
5. Sobriety - As substance use can be a trigger for many looking to process their experiences, we ask you to come and participate sober.
