Ecstatic Dance
OKLAHOMA
A sober, safe, wild dance party for transformational growth.
Ecstatic Dance is a freeform movement journey facilitated by a professional DJ and performed in a safe and sacred environment. It's a place where participants can be themselves while still being linked to something bigger.
Ecstatic dance has been practiced since the dawn of time. Ecstatic dance and rhythmic drumming was used to change consciousness in spiritual rituals in the ancient and widespread tradition of shamanism. Religious traditions all over the world have their own versions of ecstatic sacred dances.
Gabrielle Roth revived modern ecstatic dance in the 1970s, formalizing it in her 5Rhythms practice. Many variants of this dance form / spiritual modality have arisen since.
