Release and Rise Ecstatic Dance and Workshop III
A 4-hour alcohol- and drug-free journey of movement, fascia release, nervous system calming, and ecstatic dance freedom. We begin with gentle fascia-inspired exploration, Yin-style stretching, breathwork, and somatic grounding practices to release tension, hydrate connective tissue, and support emotional balance. After a tea break and optional face-paint intention ritual, we enter the second half: a full Ecstatic Dance Wave — a free-form, conscious dance space with no steps to follow, no right or wrong, just authentic movement and self-expression. The experience closes with deep relaxation, soothing breath, and a restorative gong bath. Beginners welcome. Come as you are — and dance yourself back to freedom, ease, and aliveness.
