Winter Solstice Ritual - Dancing Freedom - Cacao & Dance Journey
With Chelsea Amber & Carrie Arlah
$35 pre-register (up to a week before) | $40 week-of | $45 at the door
Join us to honor the changing of the seasons with Cacao, dance, and sound! We are transitioning from these last months of a bountiful harvest season into our winter rest. Here in winter we are invited to shed, to let compost what is ready to be returned to the earth, to create space for new iterations of our being. Dec. 21st (the Winter Solstice) is the shortest day of the year. This dance takes place within a special window of time- the peak of darkness, where we will honor the medicine of the dark AND welcoming the return of the light. We honor this threshold together with the ritual of dance.
Schedule:
7:15- Cacao Ceremony and Circle
- Dancing Freedom Dance Ritual
- Sound healing w/ Carrie Burr
10 PM: Event Closes
Join movement facilitator and DJ Chelsea Biklen for this monthly dance ceremony! We will open our space with a Ceremonial Guatemalan Cacao circle and exploration of our dance theme. The evening will continue into a lightly guided dance journey called Dancing Freedom, which follows a 5-stage arc through the 5 ayurvedic elements. As we dance with the elements we re-awaken and remember our connection to ourselves, each other, the planet, and the cosmos. It is a somatic, ecstatic, and shamanic dance practice that welcomes all bodies, all experiences, and all emotions. It is both dance and moving meditation. The evening will conclude with Carrie Arlah Burr sharing a sound healing and a collective closing circle. To learn more about Dancing Freedom visit: https://www.dancingfreedom.com/ .
