ECSTATIC DANCE PARTY

What is Ecstatic Dance?

Ecstatic dance is a form of dance in which the dancers, without the need to follow specific steps, release themselves to the rhythm and move freely as the music takes them, leading to a feeling of ecstasy. Dancers have described feeling connected to others, and to their own emotions. The dance serves as a form of meditation, helping people to cope with stress and to attain serenity.

Hosted by Dr. Dielle Raymond, ND, and Dr. Stephanie Boland (Hon. Philosophy).

Stephanie and Dielle have both returned to North Bay after spending time exploring the world! Drawn to return to the unique vibe and community of our area, Stephanie and Dielle have brought back the exotic vibe of ecstatic dance from Mexico and combined it with the big beats from Seattle to create a liberating experience like no other in the area! They are both passionate about creating a space that allows for free movement, celebrates life, and gets you flowing like a feminine goddess or unleashes your masculine warrior energy.
