Wunya/Welcome/Ngara ♡

This Ecstatic Dance Ceremony provides an invitation to come into stronger allignment with nature. To dance barefoot on the earth and feel the fortitude of gathering in intentional community. We will dance around the fire, witnessing both the beauty of the sunset and also the power and mystery of the darkness ♡

This event is an opportunity to remember our true nature, to feel a sense of freedom with our bodies, to let go of the masks or veils that many of us carry. The elements of dance, movement and music support us to embrace our playful and childlike expression with a sense of freedom and fluidity.

This Ecstatic Dance Ceremony will be held with reverence for the sacred land upon which we gather. We will sit in humility on Kubi Kubi/Yinabarra land and come together as a family to support each other and explore our edges for vulnerability ♡

The natural soundscape of the Cockatoos, Bell Birds, Eagles and Kookaburras provides a magical ambience for supporting us to come into closer harmony with mother earth.

🖤💛❤️We respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, and honor their enduring connection to community, land and water. We pay deep respect to Indigenous elders and peoples, past, present, and emerging, as we support the continuation of their rich cultural heritage.
