Heart Rhythms - Authentic Relating & Dance

Step into an evening of connection, movement, and heart-centered exploration—where magic happens and sparks just might fly. We’ll open with a ceremonial cacao ritual to ground you in the present moment and expand your heart, creating space for authentic connection with yourself, others, and maybe even someone special. Through guided exercises blending somatic practices and authentic relating, you’ll discover the power of vulnerability, presence, and playful curiosity.

As the evening unfolds, we’ll transition into contact dance, a co-creative expression of freedom and connection through movement. We’ll close with an energizing dance space—a celebration of community, embodiment, and joy, where anything feels possible. Whether you’re seeking deeper self-awareness, meaningful connection, or maybe even the chance to meet your soulmate, this experience is designed to ignite your heart and leave you feeling inspired and uplifted.
