Ecstatic Dance and Cacao with Mat Chandler

Join us for a 5 Rhythms style ecstatic dance and open it with us in a cacao ceremony.

Cacao is a powerful plant medicine, and also the tasty bean that makes chocolate. Known for opening the heart, it will surely help you help the energy flow in this ecstatic dance.

Ecstatic dance is a free-flow movement practice that incorporates music from all around the world into a wave of energy the rises and falls. Here we will open ourselves to feel what is real for us and express it without judgement.

Come co-create as we combine the dance of life with this fresh Mayan cacao just brought back from Guatemala. The ceremony will be lead, and the music-mix orchestrated, by Mat Chandler; who has been living in this ancient Central American heartland of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.

Energy exchange for this first of Wednesday night dances is FREE! (Though if you feel like donating to the DJ Mat Chandler for his work for the evening and for the opening cacao ceremony, please feel free.) For the cacao, it’s just $5 more for a heart-opening cup, should you choose to partake. Feel free to come to the whole evening, even if you are not drinking the cacao. (PS the dance is a substance-free event aside from this special elixir.)

We will start promptly at 7:30, please arrive at 7:30 or a bit before, as early as 7:10. We will plan to wrap up the music and a closing circle by 10pm.

Please invite your friends! This is going to be an epic dance (and the first of a bi-weekly Wednesday night dance!)

Thank you and may you experience peace and happiness in your days.
