What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic dance is a free form movement, accompanied by a carefully curated mix of music. The dance time (or "wave") starts slow, allowing time for the mind and body to drop in. Building from there, the music tends to build in intensity, inviting participants to move more vigorously up until the peak or the "ecstatic" part where everyone lets loose. The mix starts to slow down, along with the movements, until we reach full stillness.
Ecstatic dance is a fun way to release stress from the body, move in a fun and non judgemental way, and to let the emotions and traumas stored in the body be energetically released in a safe space.
(This is a sober offering, you will be turned away if you appear to be intoxicated.)
Nick Mueller
For as long as he can remember, music was a pillar in Nick's life. Nick would spend hours listening to a myriad of diverse music, feeling the emotions the tones and rhythms would invoke. He discovered ecstatic dance in 2022 and the free-form movement coupled with the healing power of music awakened something inside of him. The thought of facilitating his own dance swirled in his mind for some time before teaming up with Kelly to collaborate in this expansive healing modality. Nick holds this cathartic practice close to his heart and he invites you to lose yourself to dance.
Kelly Flowers
Kelly has been immersed in the healing arts for over a decade. As a musician of more than 20 years, she has experienced profound transformation through the alchemy of sound. A yoga teacher, sound bath practitioner, and Reiki practitioner, Kelly weaves together sacred spaces where deep healing can unfold; through mindful movement, intentional stillness, and the unification of mind, body, and spirit. A former classical dancer turned ecstatic, she now dances and intertwines deeply with the magic and of this beautiful healing path.
