Becoming an Ecstatic Dance Ceremony Leader

À propos de cet événement

A gathering for those who feel called to host and guide Ecstatic Dances

I love the role of the Ecstatic Dance Ceremony Leader. It's the person who welcomes everyone, brings the group together, and helps create a safe space for a beautiful dance journey.

In this gathering, I want to share a bit of my experience and explore together the different aspects of it. What happens before the dance begins? How do we prepare the space and connect with the DJ and the team? How do we welcome people, especially those who are joining for the first time? And what is our role while the music is playing, and when the dance comes to an end?

We will look at the different moments of an Ecstatic Dance ceremony, from the preparation and opening to the dance itself, the closing, and everything that happens afterwards. There will be space to share experiences, ask questions, and explore how we can support the dance and the people in it.

This is for anyone who feels curious about becoming a Ceremony Leader, whether you already have some experience or are just beginning to explore this possibility. You don't need to have led a ceremony before. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your love for Ecstatic Dance.

After our gathering, if you feel like continuing the journey together, we can share a podluck dinner, followed by an Ecstatic Rave. Both are donation-based.
The Ecstatic Rave is open to public so everyone is welcome to join.

I look forward to sharing this afternoon with you!
