Next Community Event: Ecstatic Dance!
Who This Space Is For:
- Anyone who wants to be celebrated for showing up exactly as they are
- Anyone who desires gentle movement and or freedom to express
- Anyone who wants time and spaciousness to process, integrate, transmute, and alchemize energy, emotions, or how they may be showing up in their body
- Especially encouraged: healers, community leaders, activists, caregivers who want a space to be held, grounded, and be witnessed and honored
This container is designed for you to tap in and find respite, release through intentional movement, and allow time for yourself to process and integrate.
Let the music move you. Let your body be witnessed with love and compassion. Let dance be your medicine.
No previous dance experience is necessary. All genders friendly!
Seeking community connection and a space to process through gentle movement?
Join me monthly in co-creating a 2.5-hour somatic movement experience tailored to process, move through, and de-stress during these unprecedented and chaotic times.
🖤 NEXT GATHERING: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, PIETER PERFORMANCE SPACE, LINCOLN HEIGHTS, CA 🖤
Let us move, roll, squirm, wiggle, and writhe together in a brave and heart-led space. You will be guided through a restorative and trauma-informed practice with a curated playlist. Take it at your own pace.
Free form movement is celebrated and encouraged. There is no choreography or style to learn. You will be led through a brief grounding meditation and then led directly into movement after the opening circle.
Times are tough right now; I've got you, boo. >> Save with "Early Early Bird" or ‘Early Bird’ discounts!
Do you know someone who could benefit from a space like this? Select "Bring A Friend" and save $20 on General Admission for both of you!
Together, we will co-create a dance floor that becomes a brave and sacred space. Together, we will dance and celebrate each other.
Please be mindful of the following guidelines and gift us your presence:
Rules of Consent and Engagement:
No phones or cameras on the floor: Be Free and Present: dance however you feel, without judgment, and practice being fully present in the moment.
No Shoes: Barefoot dancing is encouraged to protect the dance floor and foster a connection with the space.
No Talking: Ecstatic Dance is a body language-only experience, with the exception of giving consent.
No Substances or Intoxicants (alcohol, stimulants, or other recreational drugs): Maintaining a clear mind is crucial for fully immersing yourself in the dance experience. Let the variety and texture of sounds and music move you into a brain-immersed state.
No touch: Please respect others' boundaries and seek consent before any physical interaction.
Body Language: Use eye contact and body language to communicate your intentions and desires.
Understand “No” Signals: crossed arms, looking away, or the prayer hands gesture may mean "no" or "done dancing".
Be mindful of your movement and how it impacts others, and be open to others' signals about wanting space.
Reminders:
Please bring water to stay hydrated
Wear whatever clothing that may tickle or fancy your body, and allows for free movement. ‘Costumes’ are welcome and encouraged. Anything from tutus to sweat pants, oversized shirts, or baggy yoga pants, a fun hat, or leg warmers. You are free to play with clothing and textures that suit your mood
Pieter Performance Space is accessible by one flight of stairs and an elevator (code available upon request)
There is a free city parking lot in the back, and usually plenty of street parking in the area.
Restrooms available in the building are gender neutral.
