~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dance is one of the most powerful forms of magical ritual...
It is an outer expression of the inner spirit.
~ Ted Andrews
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our DJ's will be sharing uniquely crafted musical journeys for your energies to root, renew and flow like a river running clear, strong, wild and free.

7:30pm-8pm: Arrive. Socialize.
8pm Opening Circle
8pm-

9:30pm: Ecstatic Dance Journey
9:30pm: Closing Circle. Sharing.
9:30pm-10:30pm: Snacks and Social Time

7:30pm-8pm The entry time has been extended to one hour so that we have plenty of time to arrive, stretch, move our bodies, catch up with old and new friends we haven't seen in a year, take a nap, have a snack, read a book or simply relax quietly in a corner and meditate.

8pm We will come together for Opening Circle. The DJ will guide us through some gentle breathing stretches to awaken and relax the body. Together we will settle onto the ground for an inspiring meditation.

8pm-9:30pm Our ecstatic dance journey will start and as usual there is no talking unless something is urgent. We play a variety of rhythms and beats from around the world that encourage movement and expression! The journey starts in a low beat to give your body the chance to ground, connect and warm up. The rhythms and beats progressively increase to an energetic peak and slowly come back to conclude with a smooth landing back into stillness.

9:30pm We'll gather for Closing Circle to sound and harmonize a little together and share reflections from the night (only if we wish). Delicious snacks will be passed around and our circle will be open for socializing until 11pm. Invite your dancing friends and share the love of dance, music and community!!! The best way to stay in touch is our newsletter so click here www.ecstaticdancetoronto.com scroll down to the bottom of the page and sign up. Contact email: [email protected]

🌍 Thursday Aug. 20 · SP. GUEST AVERY
SINGING/SOUNDING CIRCLE INTEGRATION

Avery Florence is a necessary artist of these times, sharing stories and songs conveying a message of love.  Her voice lands deep in the soul, opening those who listen to feel their own aliveness. 

She brings people together, engaging audiences to sing and lead from their heart. She is a frequent performer and the community manager of the Grateful Den (Toronto).

Avery loves to collaborate with live DJ sets, adding her sultry voice to enliven the waves of music, co-creating with dancers. Her voice has been compared to “a hug”, and her melodies “spellbinding.” She will close the circle with song, empowering the collective to rise through voice.

🌍 Thursday Aug. 20 · Sp Guest MIXWELL Bonus: 2hr 📣 Ecstatic Dance Journey

Through years of travel in the wilderness, he found the music of the earth — tribal, tropical, indigenous sound made from instruments carved from native woods and the bones of wild animals.

Music born from the same soil as the people who channel it. Lake Atitlan, in the sacred Mayan highlands of Guatemala, became home. It was there he discovered ecstatic dance — and it was on those floors that his signature sound emerged.

A DJ style that weaves classical, organic, ceremonial and modern into one continuous journey. He brought that sound to Lightning in a Bottle, Symbiosis, Envision, Lucidity, Montreal Jazz Fest, and dance communities in over 150 countries.

Now Toronto! 100-200 people.
Zero phones. 100% pure energy.
Step into a new era of dance.

BONUS 🌙 SOUND BATH
waves of sound washing through the body, dissolving stress and carrying you into deep, healing rest.

AUGUST 13 🤎 Cymatic Dreams
is the ambient, ethnic music project of Federico José Papp — layered vocal choirs forming a cushion of sound the listener travels through, guided by the melody of the Bansuri, the ancient Indian flute.

It’s an invitation to dive into your inner world as the music moves your energy, easily drawing you into a meditative state.

Rooted in a sacredness that seems to rise from the ancient core of the Earth, Cymatic Dreams offers a deep, mindful listening experience — a call to slow down, attend to each sound and layer, and be fully present in the hearing.
