Ecstatic Dance at Body Collective

Come dance your heart out with the community! Allow your expression to flow with the music.

What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic Dance is a free movement sober dance celebration that takes place without talking or cell phones. You can enjoy music and movement in a space where you can feel free to move like YOU.

The music is crafted as a complete journey, where it starts slow, making the space easy to enter into, builds to a peak, and then tapers off back to stillness. You can enjoy the experience as your own journey, enjoy dancing and connecting with others, or with the group as a whole. It’s up to you.

Think of it as a movement and meditation practice that is easy and fun to do. Knowing the music will take you on a journey allows you to give up thinking too much about how to move, whether or not people are watching, or how you look while you do it.

What if I can't dance?

Perfect! Then ecstatic dance is for you! Cause it’s not about showing off that new TikTok dance or impressing anyone. It’s about becoming better acquainted with your body, so we can feel less like strangers to the skin we’re in. It’s about learning what we’re capable of, and trying to find new ways to express ourselves. It’s about letting go and letting it out!

Some amazing benefits of ecstatic dance are increased confidence, connecting with other humans in new ways, caring less about what others think of you and having more joy in your life! Whether you dance with partners, dance by yourself, dance with your eyes closed or simply jump around, you’re doing it right!

What to expect:

A safe place to express yourself through movement
The most fun and incredible workout ever!
A place to let loose all the tension of daily life
An amazing place for community and growth
A place you meet yourself and others

Meet your host

About the Facilitators:

Keith has been coaching, facilitating, teaching and a community leader for the last 10 years.

He started dancing in the Austin Ecstatic Dance Community 10 years ago as well, and found his beloved dance interrupted by Covid in May of 2020, when the couple who had hosted this tradition for 13+ years lost their venue.

By September of 2020, Keith had worked with them to bring the dance back to outdoor spaces, and over the course of a year, led his community to dance outdoors at parks, fields, and private property all over Austin.

Late last year, he found an amazing venue, and took the traditional Sunday morning ecstatic dance back indoors after an almost 2 year hiatus.

He considers himself a steward of this 30+ year long tradition of ecstatic dance here in Austin, and is honored and enthusiastic to bring it to more and more people here.

Sunday Wellness Meetup - Austin Yoga Event - at Flow Yoga Westgate

Reiki-Infused Somatic Release Breathwork with Derek Lively Join us this Sunday for community connection & take part in a transformative modality that serves to empower and realign you! Derek will guide you through a breathwork journey that utilizes NLP to help clear out the things you no longer want to hold onto, and then replace and repattern your mind into an optimized state. It is very possible that you will have major realizations and downloads, and more may continue to pop up throughout your week as you go about your days!This breathwork session has the potential to open up doors inside of you. You get to give into yourself, understand better who you are and who you want to be, and clearly see your power. We all need a break from the constant stress, confusion, and distraction of life. We all need to be able to see the light-and this will allow you to experience that. **This event will include a total of 6 breathwork practitioners, and 4 reiki energy workers that will be present. The purpose of this is to take you to an even deeper level of healing-to a place where you can see very clearly the things that no longer serve you, and be able to dissolve them. Please bring a journal and pen with you. We look forward to seeing you! Ticket is $20 for members Flow Yoga or Flowmagina and $50 for non-members (does not include cacao). .?????. ?????.?????. ????? Join us each Sunday for this unique event! Every week, a special guest will guide you through mindful activities that allow you to sample different spiritual modalities and tools to help you in your journey of personal growth. Starting at 6:30pm in the lounge, we'll start the night off with Cacao & Connection: enjoy some heart-opening cacao from the 3rd Eye Bar while getting to know the community by playing Cards for Connection games. Moving into 7:30pm, we'll head to the big room and begin with intention setting and meditation – bringing mindfulness to our lives. This will be followed by sound healing/movement as well as other activities depending on the facilitator. Following this, you can reconnect with those you've met earlier or explore new connections. Can’t wait to see you there!We love you,Derek & the Insid3out TeamLet’s stay connected and keep the conversation going!

That inner critic that likes you playing it safe can sense courage, growth, and desire, and tries to put out that fire in you by keeping you safe & small, ensuring that you won't fail.

This image shows the stages of change and growth, knowing that you will face fears, the inner critic acts as a gatekeeper before you take the leap into the learning zone, and then the bliss of grounding into growth.

Whether it be a leap or a small step out of your comfort zone, it may not be easy, it may take time, BUT it is possible, manageable & the quickest way to silence your inner critic!

Where can you push yourself today?
