Lions Gate: Friday Ecstatic Dance

:: L I O N S :: G A T E ::
“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

Together // let’s call in this new abundance into our communal and personal lives.
All are welcome // we are a multi-generational, culturally, gender, and socioeconomically diverse community.
Remember // 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.

WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE:
We 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!
