Creating a New Story — Releasing the Old Narrative

So many times we put undue pressure on ourselves at the turn of the new year.

We feel we’re being given a new start and we should take it seriously and change all the things we want to shift on one magical night. And then, a day or a week later, we feel sad and disappointed in ourselves because we let ourselves down and couldn’t keep to our resolutions.

This is an invitation to free ourselves from an old narrative that never served.

This is an invitation to release and liberate ourselves by choosing grace, intentional rest and peace over the feeling of being stretched beyond our energetic means on all the levels, self-improvement included.

This is an invitation to allow … to be … to recharge … to connect — within.

This is an invitation to embody and embrace ourSelves fully … as we are.

Liberate Ecstatic Dance Experience
2025-01-31 18:15 - 21:00
Liberate Ecstatic Dance Experience

with original musical transmission downloaded through Andrea Ivory

cosmic beats of ancient modern fusion + electronic world beat immersion ~ Intentional sound and movement alchemy for humanity’s liberation

Scroll to bottom for registration + tickets | This is a sober event

Divine Creatrix Andrea Ivory’s Invitation to Humanity ~Come be immersed in a transmission downloaded through Andrea Ivory during a profound transformational experience in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle, which has divinely unfolded into a musical journey that literally energetically encapsulates the shift in consciousness that occurred – from a state of suffering to one of Liberation – not only within herself but within the collective as well.

The activations encoded within the song created during and as a result of this powerful experience awaken remembrance within others to realize and catalyze their own Liberation, which has already occurred and just needs to be claimed.

Completely original music, sounds and vocals were channeled to hold the frequency of highly transformative power, rippling out into the collective to invoke the same shift in consciousness – a return to Liberation.

Breathe, listen, bounce, move how you want, dance if you want, or just sit back and immerse in the sound and energy of freedom – whatever that means for you.

If you’ve called this experience into your awareness, you have intended your own Liberation and have already begun unlocking it.

Come and allow this music that was created to assist you in the unfolding of it, and receive the transmission of the shift in consciousness that has occurred and is available to claim as a new lived reality.

LIBERATE Yourself.

The FLOW ~LIBERATE is an inner journey of an experience which starts off semi-guided first, as slower and meditative with some breath, then eases into some subtle pulsation of movement that grows and naturally evolves into the free release of whatever expression wants to come through as the music builds into a powerful crescendo of metamorphic vibrations, tapping into the inherent ancient rhythm and wisdom within every body to move itself however it wants and needs to be moved for healing and transformation and ultimate Liberation.

Join us for an evening of dance and liberation. Ecstatic dance is a judgment free movement exploration space. Feel free to dance, stretch, or rest as you please, as long as everyone’s space and experience is respected.

Come and move and BE as you are!This is YOUR dance — your journey of self-expression, transformation, and LIBERATION in the company of others BEing and doing the same. No experience necessary. This is a sober event. We will leave our phones in the coat room and reserve our conversations for off the dance floor (commons area for conversation provided).

WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE —

In the simplest terms, ecstatic dance is a free-form dance experience created to inspire personal authenticity and foster a healthy sense of belonging, while holding space for personal and community transformation. The music is intentionally crafted for the experience, and may include original, live, and curated sounds.

This is the dance you dance when nobody is watching — allowing your body to move freely without judgments or concerns for the “grace” or beauty of the dance, just letting yourself go — connect and flow.

Ecstatic dance is a self-led inner/outer journey, an authentic moving meditation where presence and ecstasy can be experienced. It creates a direct body-mind-spirit connection, allowing our body and inner guide to be our own teachers.

It’s about being fully present, transparent, and real with oneself and others, discovering our own true dance.

We can use this movement and energetic experience to release stuck patterns in our bodies, emotions, and mind — while encouraging deep inner-connection for embodied, authentic living.

Dance your visions and prayers to life!Dance to honor your beingness on all levels!Dance to release!Dance to renew!Dance to BE!

The BEing Collective Experience —

At Being Collective, our intention is to create and hold space for gatherings and experiences that build community, foster connection and a felt-sense of belonging.

It is our intention that Ecstatic Dance Journeys at Being Collective hold space to experience a sacred free-form dance floor where all BEings are free to be their authentic, empowered selves within a community of like-hearted souls being the same.

To be a part of the Being Collective Ecstatic Dance community means being committed to creating, supporting, and holding a safe and loving space for all who gather together.

At our dances, you will find bodies express, spirit connects, boundaries melt, boredom dissolves, creativity births, playfulness delights, hope emerges, prayers are heard, beauty flows, communities collaborate, ritual is reinvented, and unity resonates as the beat deepens within a musical tapestry of world rhythms, weaving us together as a world that moves in harmony.

More on the concept of Ecstatic Dance —

Ecstatic dance is a self-care practice, and it can be a spiritual practice.

It fosters a safe space to explore healing through divine communion, individually and within community (without the chatter of the mind while talking and drinking, common in the nightclub or party scene).

At ecstatic dance we have no one to impress, our attention is focused within ourselves, not on others, so we can be utterly ourselves — getting down, letting loose, allowing emotions to flow, dreams and prayers to dance themselves, freeing our minds and bodies while connecting with ourselves and others, and spirit, in a safe and healthy way.

Ecstatic dance empowers people of all shapes, ages, sizes and backgrounds to freely express themselves; the liberating atmosphere creates a melting pot of acceptance and the fearlessness with which others move gives permission and courage to dance without inhibition. Everyone is welcomed.

Ecstatic Dance at BEing Collective is a judgment free, safe, and sober space to explore embodied freedom from within, through dance and movement expression. Move to intentionally chosen and created original and curated world beat and electronic roots fusion sounds.

Ecstatic dance is a self-led inner/outer journey, an authentic moving meditation where presence and ecstasy can be experienced. It creates a direct body-mind-spirit connection, allowing our body and inner guide to be our own teachers.

It’s about being fully present, transparent, and real with oneself and others, discovering our own true dance.

We can use this movement and energetic experience to release stuck patterns in our bodies, emotions, and mind — while encouraging deep inner-connection for embodied, authentic living.

Dance your visions and prayers to life!Dance to honor your beingness on all levels!Dance to release!Dance to renew!Dance to BE!

The BEing Collective Experience —

At Being Collective, our intention is to create and hold space for gatherings and experiences that build community, foster connection and a felt-sense of belonging.

It is our intention that Ecstatic Dance Journeys at Being Collective hold space to experience a sacred free-form dance floor where all BEings are free to be their authentic, empowered selves within a community of like-hearted souls being the same.

To be a part of the Being Collective Ecstatic Dance community means being committed to creating, supporting, and holding a safe and loving space for all who gather together.

At our dances, you will find bodies express, spirit connects, boundaries melt, boredom dissolves, creativity births, playfulness delights, hope emerges, prayers are heard, beauty flows, communities collaborate, ritual is reinvented, and unity resonates as the beat deepens within a musical tapestry of world rhythms, weaving us together as a world that moves in harmony.

More on the concept of Ecstatic Dance —

Ecstatic dance is a self-care practice, and it can be a spiritual practice.

It fosters a safe space to explore healing through divine communion, individually and within community (without the chatter of the mind while talking and drinking, common in the nightclub or party scene).

At ecstatic dance we have no one to impress, our attention is focused within ourselves, not on others, so we can be utterly ourselves — getting down, letting loose, allowing emotions to flow, dreams and prayers to dance themselves, freeing our minds and bodies while connecting with ourselves and others, and spirit, in a safe and healthy way.

Ecstatic dance empowers people of all shapes, ages, sizes and backgrounds to freely express themselves; the liberating atmosphere creates a melting pot of acceptance and the fearlessness with which others move gives permission and courage to dance without inhibition. Everyone is welcomed.

Ecstatic Dance at BEing Collective is a judgment free, safe, and sober space to explore embodied freedom from within, through dance and movement expression. Move to intentionally chosen and created original and curated world beat and electronic roots fusion sounds.

Ecstatic Dance Experience - One Sacred Light
2025-03-08 18:30 - 20:45
We are SO EXCITED and blessed to have Soul Artist and Ecstatic Dance Lover Gina Maray as our DJ and Guide for this experience!

Pre-registration is appreciated! Click Here to Register Now

Gina first experienced ecstatic dance in late 2018 and It was life changing. Having always loved dancing, yet not having places that felt good to do it besides the beloved drum circle she attends, Ecstatic Dance opened up a whole new world of expression, playfulness, and creativity for her and she hasn’t stopped dancing since.

Gina encourages us to be the flow and express the truth that is moving within us … to feel our feelings, to love from our hearts, and to move our bodies in sacred aliveness. This is the vision and intention she brings for all of us!

Gina’s music mix will bring us into our bodies and give us all a permission slip to feel and express in a safe place.The music will be filled with layers of rhythms and energies to help us tap in and expand our own sacred aliveness, consciousness, and joy.

Healing can be fun! Ecstatic dance is very much proof of this. We all could use a little *or a lot* more fun! So let’s dance!

Join us in honor of the Spring Equinox | let’s immerse in a journey of re-awakening, in and through the body … tapping into breath, sound, and embodied movement for spring wellBEing.

As the season shifts and Mama Nature awakens and comes to life all around us, we feel our own stirring deep within. The light of day lengthens and the creative fire within us grows.

Spring is a time to lovingly tend to the gardens of our BEing-ness, a time to nurture the seeds of our becoming as we expand and grow into all that we are, and all that we are here to be.

During this gentle spring embodiment journey, we will:

connect, ground, and center in our bodies and being-ness

breathe, listen, move, be still … repeat

move our bodies to earthy drum-scapes and ancestral rhythms

honor, nurture, and balance ourselves

… guided by Savi, all while tapping into our own unique, authentic flow

our journey comes full circle with an activating and integrating drum-wash from Savi and a spring sound alchemy bath lovingly provided by Mark

This journey is open, accessible, and welcoming to all!Embodied movement is freeing and completely adaptable to one’s own inspired, authentic flow and capabilities. Embodied movement is for every body!

What is Embodied Movement | Embodied Being?

Nurturance!

Nur·tur·ance – nounemotional and physical nourishment and care given to *someone.*self + other

Savi in a self-embracing, self-love hug … active, engaged, committed, felt

In Embodied BEing we consciously listen to + honor our bodies and our feelings. Through intentional embodied (accessible, dynamic, and even playful) movement along with sequences of conscious breath, we support our bodies need to move, flow, and find balance, while giving stuck or stagnant energy and emotions a safe pathway to release as we bring an active reset to mind, body, spirit.

We’re in these bodies very much on purpose.

Join us! Feel embraced, seen, heard, and empowered by the energy that Savi and the group synergy generates.

The Experience

Join us for an evening of dance and liberation.Ecstatic dance is a judgment free movement exploration space. Feel free to dance, stretch, or rest as you please, as long as everyone’s space and experience is respected.

Come and move and BE as you are!This is YOUR dance — your journey of self-expression, transformation, and LIBERATION in the company of others BEing and doing the same. No experience necessary. This is a sober event.

The STORY

Ecstatic dance is a free-form dance practice where participants move to music without following specific steps. The music provides the journey, and participants feel, move, and weave through the soundscapes freely. The sacred intent is to provide a liberating and joyful space for self-expression through movement in the company of others doing the same.

The dance floor is a sacred space where we join together to journey into sound, rhythm, movement, and breath.

As we enter into the journey, we commit to an intentional, sacred, and safe space where we are all held and honored — on the dance floor we let go and free ourselves as we drop deep into the experience, inviting and allowing powerful transformational dance moments that can invoke a natural ecstatic state from immersing in embodied connection within ourselves and our surroundings.

When we step onto the dance floor, we invite and include our whole selves, even the frightened parts that want to hideWe dance through pain and sorrowWe dance with joy until our hard edges soften and our masks fall awayWe dance, bravely allowing the uniqueness of our authentic nature to beam throughWe meet other courageous dancers, weaving unbreakable threads of connectionOur connections and friendships transcend the boundaries of time and spaceAnd it all melts together —Sound, beat, movement, breath —into a swirling vortex we embrace as communityAs the throbbing pulse of the dance floor matches our own heartbeat, we know, without a doubt, we are not alone — we are all connectedAnd we return, again and again to the dance floor to uplift ourselves in community, connection, belonging, love, peace, and joy!

Sound Bath + Songs with Natural Satellite
2025-04-24 19:00 - 20:30
Join Natural Satellite at Being Collective for “Sound Bath & Songs” – an immersive full-body listening experience encouraging emotional release and connection

Join us for this extra-special LIVE MUSIC gathering!

The weight of the world is especially heavy right now for all of us. We want to use this time to bring our community together to release negative emotions while promoting peace and renewal of the spirit.

The evening will start and end with an improvised sound bath. The cello’s lush strings, the saxophone’s warm, breathy tones, and the human voice’s ability to evoke emotion will harmonize together, creating a truly immersive and meditative environment. Following this immersive sound journey, the evening will evolve into a live performance of original music from Natural Satellite. With the cello, voice, and saxophone at the heart of their unique sound, this performance blends intricate melodies, atmospheric harmonies, and raw emotion.

Natural Satellite Bio

Cello and saxophone seem like an unlikely pair for an indie jazz duo, but when you hear Natural Satellite, you’ll consider the two instruments to be meant for each other. Karli and Jason Reisdorf have been performing and captivating audiences with their unique sound for nearly a decade. The couple met in 2011 while attending the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point and have since built a family and a music career centered around love, exploration, and education.

The WAMI-nominated duo layers finger-style cello with catchy melodies, harmonies, and improvised saxophone to create a sound comparable to groups such as Morphine and Portis Head. Jason’s saxophone weaves in and out of verses harmonizing beautifully with Karli’s angelic voice. Their lyrics focus on self-love, reflection, and growth, leaving listeners feeling uplifted. When watching Natural Satellite perform, you can feel the chemistry between the two and the unique musical bond they share.

What is Being Collective?

Being Collective, located in the heart of Downtown Appleton, is a Center for Community, Connection, and WellBEing. In addition to regular classes and gatherings, held in our Gathering Hall, Being Collective is a unique and beautiful, warm and welcoming space that hosts special events like this one with Natural Satellite. The space has a peaceful, easy vibe and has amazing chapel-like acoustics. Being Collective is a SHOES OFF (bring socks or slippers if you prefer) and SOBER community gathering space.

From Savi, Being Collective Co-Founder

We are beyond excited to be bringing Karli and Jason of Natural Satellite to the Center! We have been fans of theirs for years and love catching their shows at Mile of Music! Last summer I finally introduced myself to Karli after their amazing set at Art in the Park and we excitedly started dreaming into this event that is now happening! We are honored to host such amazing heart and talent!
