SUMMARY:Lions Gate: Friday Ecstatic Dance
DESCRIPTION::: L I O N S :: G A T E ::\n“The Lion’s Gate Portal is the moment where the Sun in Leo is in alignment with the star Sirius\, Orion’s Belt and Earth. This happens when Sirius “rises” or becomes visible again due the Sun’s yearly passing of the star. The 8/8 of the Lion’s Gate Portal is regarded as one of the most powerful moments in the whole calendar. Much like the ancient Egyptians\, you could view the Lion’s Gate Portal as a bringer of the abundant and new. Consider it a time to break free from any habits that may be preventing us from becoming our best selves.” – Mia Steiber \nTogether // let’s call in this new abundance into our communal and personal lives.\nAll are welcome // we are a multi-generational\, culturally\, gender\, and socioeconomically diverse community.\nRemember // all the ingredients for this adventure live in your own breath\, bones\, and blood. Dance is our birthright and our homecoming. A thread to a memory of our interconnectedness. \nSCHEDULE:\n7P | Doors to the Lobby Open for Elixir Lounge\n8P | Music Warm-Up\n9P | Opening Circle and Facilitation by Sarah Sampson\n9:30P | Ecstatic Dance Journey w. DJ Cosmic Soup\n11:30P | Sound Bath + Closing Circle\nMidnight Lounge Opens Post-Show for Tea + Connection \nWHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE:\nWe create a space that is inspiring and uplifting; without talking\, alcohol or the nightclub scene. We encourage participants to utilize the Ecstatic Dance space as an invitation for their magical mysterious nature\, soulful somatic movement\, creative self-expression\, and heart-centered connection to self\, life and others. We hold a nonverbal\, barefoot\, alcohol-free container to keep the journey intentional and lucid. You can dance the night away and still wake up early to do awesome stuff in the world! \nADMISSION |\nTickets Available Online + at the door\n$30 :: first 30 tickets\n$40 :: until August 2nd\n$45 :: until August 8th\n$50 :: day of event \nGUIDELINES:\n1.

Move your body however you wish!\n6. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart.)\nEverything will be explained in Opening Circle by Sarah! \nSUGGESTIONS:\n1. Dress comfortably to sweat & move.\n2. BYOWB — Bring your own water bottle – prefer non-glass.\n3.
