Embody the wisdom of your soul and feel deep healing. This free-form somatic dance class, also called ecstatic dance, is about expressing yourself, processing feelings and emotions, and releasing stuck energy patterns stored in your body so that you experience life fully present.

What is ecstatic dance?

Ecstatic Dance is a general term for free-form (unchoreographed) somatic movement practice. Somatic movement helps you step out of the mind and consciously connect to your body. It releases emotions, stuck or blocked energy patterns, and helps heal deep soul trauma. Dance becomes a healing modality as you develop a better connection to your mind, body, and energy. This lineage of ecstatic dance is unique. Guidance for being fully grounded in your body and connected to Earth energy is a key component for feeling safe and secure to fully express yourself. Drawing in Earth energy allows you to more fully step out of the mind and into the body for a deeper healing experience. In other words you experience soul embodiment with a grounded high feeling.

How I found ecstatic dance

I’ve always been a naturally good free-form dancer. I feel the music and let my body follow. (Dancing with choreography never felt quite right.) A few years ago, I learned dance could be a healing modality. I knew it was euphoric and felt better when I danced. After experiencing a free-form dance class on a retreat, I felt a stirring in my soul and began exploring the idea of becoming a dance facilitator. World events put a pause on that pursuit until recently when I was divinely guided to Heal Through Dance with Star Triana. Navigating the world as an empath and clairsentient has been a challenging learning process for me on my spiritual journey. Becoming an ecstatic dance facilitator is a beautiful alignment of my body, heart, and soul. Free-form somatic dance (ecstatic dance) has given me a modality for honoring, expressing, and healing my soul. Now I want to share this dance modality with you!

What is a Heal Through Dance experience like?

Dancing offers us access to the wisdom of our soul and release from stored trauma, stories, and memories stuck in our body that are preventing our soul's expansion. As we step out of our mind and into our body, it (our body) becomes a vessel for deep healing. 
​
​You listen to the rhythm of your body (and some guidance by me) as you naturally connect to your inner wisdom.
​We join together in the community of dance as we hold sacred space for each other.

​We'll move through the chakras and elements with guidance and a specially curated playlist while the space is infused in the high-vibrational energies of Holy Fire World Peace Reiki and Light Language. It will be a high-vibrational immersion of energy for your body and soul.
​
​*No dancing experience is required.*
Here's what to expect
  • As we gather, I’ll talk briefly about ecstatic dance and what to expect during our time together.
  • Next, there will be a brief guided grounding visualization.
  • Then, we'll come inward, move to the music, and end in savasana for full integration of the dance and healing energies.
  • Last, we'll take a moment to share our experience. ​
Other details
​Dress comfortably and bring water. (We'll be dancing in bare feet.)

"My experience with Phyllis and ecstatic dance was more powerful than I thought it would be. Phyllis guided us through the whole process. I felt her energy and the energy of the other dancers throughout my whole body. As we went through every chakra I could feel the warmth and energy."

"From the moment I walked in the room, Phyllis made me feel safe and welcome with her warm and playful spirit, and her engaging yet gentle guidance. As she led us through a series of different rhythms, I felt my entire being come alive in a way that transcends all the 'shoulds and coulds' that bombard me on a daily basis."
