It's our 3 YEAR BIRTHDAY!!!! We hope you will celebrate by joining us for another beautiful dance journey this TUESDAY Oct 20th! 🎉
We will start the evening at 7pm with: Embody Your Dance led by Alicia Love () Embody Your Dance is a guided movement journey designed to help you return home to your body. In this workshop Alicia Love creates a grounded and supportive space where you can gently reconnect with your inner rhythm, release performance pressure, and rediscover the freedom of authentic expression. Through somatic awareness practices, nervous system–centered guidance, and intentionally curated music, you will explore movement as a pathway to safety, self-trust, and flow.
Our DJ for our celebratory night of dance is Meadowphor (), back for her second time at Ecstatic Dance Portland! Meadowphor (https://soundcloud.com/user-144583235) is a Southern Oregon-based ecstatic dance DJ and host who has spent the past 16 years immersed in dance, movement, and the ways music can bring people together. Her experience with ecstatic dance, fire dancing, and contact improvisation shapes the way she plays, weaving bass, house, and world sounds into playful, soulful journeys that respond to the energy of the room. Meadowphor represents creativity and the spirit of the meadow; a space for freedom, diversity, and play, where different sounds, energies, and expressions can exist side by side and something unexpected is always waiting to emerge.
We will end the evening with a beautiful sound healing led by Joanna Wiley of Sanctuary Sound Bath () featuring Amarnath Amaru and Rachellee Sigler. Sanctuary Sound Bath is a collective of master practitioners weaving sound, energy and embodied practices into heart-centered experiences. They each bring their own unique instruments, practices and years of experience to create a dynamic soundscape. Rooted in presence, connection and a passion for returning to the heart, their work invites participants to reconnect with themselves and the community. Come receive, fill your cup and leave feeling renewed. 🩵
