Archetypal Dance Adventure Through the Major Arcana
Come dance the night away with us on Friday April 5th! We will have an ecstatic dancing class at 7:00pm the first Friday of every month at ZenLife Center for Healing. Led by our instructor Kristina Rich, the Archetypal Dance Adventure event includes tarot readings, visualizations, and embodied dancing.
What Is Ecstatic Dancing?
Ecstatic dancing is a style of free form movement that allows for all participants to move their bodies in whatever way feels right – there are no rules, steps, or expectations! This type of dance is extremely therapeutic. But it requires releasing all your constraints and inhibitions and surrendering to the rhythm of the music.
As you dance, you may experience a state of ecstasy (hence, “ecstatic” dancing) and bliss. This practice has roots in ancient Greece with religious ties to their gods and myths. The Greek origin of the word “ekstasis” means to get out of oneself. This type of self-expression was and is still a common religious practice in many cultures.
What Are The Benefits?
Allowing yourself the chance to let go and be free through healthy movement comes with a myriad of benefits! The exercise aspect alone is great for your health and produces endorphins that can improve your mood and outlook. The combination of music and rhythm, unrestrained movement, and meditative state of consciousness can lead to:
- Inspiration & revelation
- Self-confidence
- Healing from trauma
- Stress & anxiety relief
- Mind-body connection
- Releasing pent-up emotions
- Feelings of happiness and euphoria
