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!

Divine Creatrix Andrea Ivory’s Invitation ~

Come be immersed in a transmission that downloaded through Andrea during a profound transformational experience in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle, which has divinely unfolded into a music journey that literally energetically encapsulates the shift in consciousness that occurred – from a state of suffering to one of Liberation.

The activations encoded within the song created during and as a result of this powerful experience awaken a spark of remembrance within others to realize and catalyze their own Liberation, which 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 freedom. Transcending & melding genres, this music journey weaves together layers & levels of all different styles, tempos & vibes that move you to be moved in all the ways. Encompassing everything from ancient tribal feels to modern electronic dance beats, all the frequencies are powerfully felt.

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. This journey can be experienced as a ‘concert’ if you don’t feel inclined to move or dance and prefer to just receive the energetic transmission.

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 – to transcend wherever you’re not yet free.

LIBERATE Yourself.

The FLOW ~

LIBERATE is an inner journey of an experience which starts off slower and meditative, then 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.

6:30pm – Doors open | Check in + settle in** Please plan to arrive by 6:50 at the latest — This experience unfolds as a whole musical journey & the doors will be closing once it begins

7:00pm – LIBERATE Begins | Doors close

Ecstatic Dance Journeys at Being Collective | General Info:

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 is provided).

The Guidelines —

Dance is done barefoot/socks — no shoes — ground, connect, feel

Dance without words — inward journey, meditative experience

Dance as we are — be yourself; with respect for ourselves, the space, and each other — no expectations, no judgements, no shoulds — dance as we are

No drugs/alcohol, no phones, camera, video

The Space —

Being Collective is a space dedicated to Community, Connection, and WellBEing.

The energy is warm, inviting, welcoming, peaceful, generating, healing, and elevating.

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.

Payment is sliding scale $15 – $25 at the door
