Ecstatic Dance

As an Ecstatic Dance facilitator, I create a space where movement becomes a gateway to freedom, expression, and deep connection. My approach is rooted in my love for guiding others through thresholds—whether in nature, life, or the self. I believe that dance is a powerful form of transformation, a way to shed layers, release stagnant energy, and step into embodied truth. With a deep reverence for the body’s wisdom, I invite participants to move without inhibition, allowing rhythm and intuition to lead the way. There is no choreography, no expectation—only an open container where every movement is valid, and every emotion has a place to unfold.

My background in outdoor leadership, death work, and somatic awareness informs how I hold space. I approach Ecstatic Dance with the same care and intention I bring to all my work—creating a container of safety, presence, and radical acceptance. Whether you are moving through grief, joy, transition, or simply seeking a place to let go, you are welcome here. The dance floor becomes a sacred space for self-discovery, collective energy, and healing through movement. My highest hope is that when you step into this space, you will feel free—free to express, to release, to connect, and to remember the wisdom of your own body.

  • Embody Freedom & Release Stress

    Ecstatic Dance is a powerful way to shake off tension, quiet the mind, and reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm. In just one hour, you can release stored emotions, reduce stress, and experience a sense of liberation that goes beyond words. Movement without judgment allows you to let go of daily pressures and step into a state of pure presence and joy.

  • Deepen Connection with Self & Others

    Through dance, we tap into something primal—our innate ability to connect. Whether dancing solo or sharing energy in a group, Ecstatic Dance fosters a sense of belonging and unity. It invites you to trust yourself, express authentically, and feel the support of a collective space where every movement is honored.

  • Activate Healing & Inner Awareness

    Movement is medicine. Ecstatic Dance activates the body’s natural ability to heal by improving circulation, releasing endorphins, and creating space for emotional processing. Whether you’re moving through grief, transition, or celebration, the dance floor becomes a place for self-exploration and transformation.

  • Enter a Meditative Flow State

    Ecstatic Dance allows you to quiet the thinking mind and drop into a state of pure presence. As your body moves freely to the rhythm, you may experience a sense of timelessness, clarity, and deep inner stillness. This moving meditation helps you access creativity, intuition, and a profound connection to the present moment.

"Ecstatic Dance with Teresa was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I walked in feeling heavy and left feeling light, free, and deeply connected to myself. The space was welcoming, the music was transformative, and I felt completely safe to move however my body needed. I can’t wait to dance again!"

 FAQs

  • Not at all! Ecstatic Dance is about free movement and self-expression, not choreography or technique. There’s no right or wrong way to move—just come as you are and let your body guide you.

  • Wear something comfortable that allows for unrestricted movement. Bare feet are encouraged for better grounding, but you’re welcome to wear socks or soft-soled shoes if needed.

  • The music is a dynamic, evolving journey designed to inspire movement. It may include world rhythms, electronic beats, acoustic melodies, and deep, soulful sounds—anything that encourages expression and flow.

  • Ecstatic Dance is typically a non-verbal space to encourage deep presence and embodied expression. However, nonverbal communication, eye contact, and shared energy are all welcome.

  • Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated and an open heart. If you’d like, a small journal can be helpful for reflections after the dance. Most importantly, bring a willingness to move, feel, and explore.
