"The spiritual path is not a solo endeavor. In fact, the very notion of a self who is trying to free herself is a delusion. We are in it together and the company of spiritual friends helps us realize our interconnectedness."

Ecstatic Trance Dance*
A two-hour dance experience that is healing and nourishing for the soul.
Ecstatic trance dance is a ritual that is thousands of years old and uses authentic body movement, healing sounds and drum beats and the innovative use of a blindfold or bandanna to achieve meditative and transformative states of consciousness. Its primary focus is on healing and spiritual evolution and takes participants on an 'inner journey' not limited to our normal perceptions of space and time. By dancing within the seclusion of darkness (blindfolded), participants discover parallel realities where solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems are possible, where one is able to disappear, becoming more like spirit, and simultaneously less attached to life's ordinary difficulties.
“Dance is the fastest, most direct route to the truth -- not some big truth that belongs to everybody, but the get down and personal kind, the what's-happening-in-me-right-now kind of truth. We dance to reclaim our brilliant ability to disappear in something bigger, something safe, a space without a critic or a judge or an analyst. We dance to shed skins, tear off masks, crack molds, and experience the breakdown -- the shattering of borders between body, heart and mind."
