As the season turns to spring, we gather in remembrance—an invitation to embody the strength within and feel how ancestral wisdom moves through us. When we connect to our inner foundations, we touch the support of those who came before and deepen our sense of belonging to life itself.

We’ll begin with ceremonial cacao, then drop into a guided movement journey with live soundscape. There are no steps to learn, no performance—just presence, curiosity, and letting your body move as it feels. Barefoot and phone-free, you’re invited to drop deep into free-form movement, awakening parts of you that you may have forgotten.

Come as you are.
Move with what you feel.
Leave feeling empowered, connected, and alive.

Somatic dance is a guided movement practice that helps you tune into your body’s wisdom and move from the inside out. Unlike ecstatic dance, which is typically an open, DJ-led space with no facilitation, somatic dance offers gentle guidance to support you in exploring sensation, emotion, and embodiment in a safe, intentional way. You’re not learning steps or performing—you're being invited into presence, curiosity, and feeling. With a focus on nervous system regulation, personal expression, and inner listening, somatic dance creates a nurturing space to come home to yourself.
