Winter Solstice Ecstatic Dance at House of Waking Life with Angela

Sun 22 Dec, 11 am-1 pm. House Of Waking Life, 109 SE 4th Avenue, Gainesville, 32601. 352-562-9919. Aurora Healing Arts - [facebook][email][events]

Join us as we explore the 5 Rhythms of Ecstatic Dance. We'll let go of judgment of ourselves and others, embrace whatever emotions arise, and feel free to move, shake and groove however our bodies choose!

For those of you who haven't been to an Ecstatic Dance, it's part free-form dance party, part moving meditation, and part community gathering. We let go of talking during the 90-minute playlist, which follows a "5 Rhythms" pattern (a concept created by Gabrielle Roth) that begins slowly, peaks with some hot beats, and gently brings us back down to earth.

These elements facilitate awareness and appreciation of our bodies, allowing us to explore our inner landscapes. It's also good ol' fashioned FUN.

We will begin with an opening circle at 7 pm sharp, so be sure to arrive on time if possible. Please reach out if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!

Registration is available online through intotheHOWL.com, or in person at the front desk, $10 exchange.

On weekends, parking is available in the GRU lot on the corner of SE 2 Street and 4th Ave, and always in the lot to the West of the HOWL.
