Ecstatic Dance Event with Cacao & Reiki

This ecstatic dance event is curated as a mini retreat with elements of expansion, expression, movement, deep relaxation, healing work, and integration.

The afternoon will start with the medicine of cacao (the building block of chocolate) to open the heart and guide us into our bodies. Participants will then journey into a 90-minute ecstatic dance wave – a non-conversational space where we’ll be free to allow the music to move us, and to express ourselves through movement. We’ll follow the 5 rhythms structure for this dance wave, starting out slow and easy, building to a higher energy, and then easing back down into stillness and integration.

We’ll then move into an extended stillness period where each participant will receive hands-on (or hands-off, if preferred) Reiki energy healing work. This will be a period of deep relaxation and integration of the ecstatic dance and cacao portions of the ceremony. Reiki is an extremely gentle but profound form of energy healing, in which Mallory is Level II certified. It lends itself to deep relaxation, movement of stuck energy, and a sense of inner peace.

There will also be a small portion of sound healing & toning that follows, offering participants the space to go deep within themselves and be enchanted by sound, integrating the entirety of their experience.

The day will conclude with a closing circle, in which participants will be welcome to share about their experiences, or remain in silence – whichever feels best in the moment!

WHAT TO BRING:
– A yoga mat and/or blanket if you have one, for the reiki & sound healing portion of the event
-Water bottle
-Wear clothing that is comfortable and easy to move/dance in, such as yoga pants, leggings, stretchy fabrics, etc
