Absolutely. Kids come free. And there is a free kids play space during the entire Ceremony.

We ask that you plan on being deeply present, participating fully, and honoring the 5 pillars: sacred, silly, sober, safe, and sovereign.

There is gluten-free food provided after ceremony for $11 a bowl. Please go to the bar and ask for more details. There will also be cacao available at the bar.

What if I feel uncomfortable about singing in front of other people?
This is a space to be vulnerable and sing your beautiful heart out. Know you will be fully accepted and celebrated for your expression. Enjoy the ride!

What if I don’t know anyone?
We believe strangers are simply future family. So, greet people you don't know yet and ask what inspired them to come this week. They will appreciate it. And you will create meaningful relationships in the process!

What are the video and photo boundaries?
We will be recording audio and video during this experience so the Sacred City organization can share this medicine with you and the rest of the world beyond our time together. We invite you to record videos as well and tag us in your IG stories at @sacredcity_

Is this a spiritual experience?
It definitely can be. With that being said, this medicine music practice is not tied to any specific religion. We’re always looking to include medicine songs and mantras from across the globe.

See you in Ceremony, my friends

Step into sacred space and move in communion with the divine. Guided by the sonic alchemy of DJ Rasa LaVee, this journey begins in stillness—inviting presence, breath, and gentle unfolding. As rhythms rise, we awaken into the mystery, dancing between worlds, weaving movement into prayer, and joy into liberation.

This experience was born from a spark—Rasa’s own awakened connection to the Divine during a Seekers of the Eternal Satsang meditation, a weekly gathering held Wednesdays from 8–9:30pm at Roots.

Catherine Dana Costa, known artistically as Rasa LaVee, is a devoted curator of sound and soul. A poet, singer, and improvisational performer, her work bridges the mystical and the musical. She plays guitar, percussion, ukulele, Native American flute, and is currently exploring the hurdy-gurdy.

Mama Cacao Ceremony - A mother's day gathering that everyone is welcome to.

Sunday May 11th · 11am-4pm

Join us in a heart-opening Mother’s Day Cacao Ceremony to honor the sacred feminine and the nurturing spirit of motherhood. Guided by the heart-medicine of Cacao, we’ll journey inward through meditation, sharing, and gentle movement to connect with gratitude, love, and ancestral wisdom. This gathering is an invitation to celebrate all forms of mothering—biological, spiritual, and communal. Together, we create a space of reverence, reflection, and heartfelt connection. All are welcome in this circle of compassion and celebration. ❤️

Cacao is known as the “Food of the Gods” by the Mayan people for millennia. And also known as "Mama Cacao" because of her nurturing and guiding spirit, thus we are fortunate to gather with her as a central focus to our day's journey. Cacao helps us to connect with our higher selves through an ever-more open heart and mind. We will also work with some special flower essences to help tap into the feminine spirit even further.

We will be guided by long-time Cacao practitioner and space-holder, Mat Chandler, to work with the Spirit of Cacao in a beautiful way. The creative visionary and journeyman of the Holy Wow Cacao project, Mat has worked with cacao for 9+ years and lives in Guatemala specifically to work with Cacao directly at the source, and is exactly where this fresh GuateMayan Cacao will be coming to us from.

Energy Exchange:

$45-$55 sliding scale (if this is not accessible to you and you are clear you are meant to be in this ceremony, please write to us to work out an exchange that is within your means.)

🌟 To prepare, please bring:

· Your favorite mug

· Pen & notebook

· A container with water

· Small amount of fresh organic* fruit to share at the end of the ceremony

Eat only lightly* 2-3 hours before the ceremony begins and please avoid drinking caffeine on the day of the ceremony.

Please be aware that we open and close this container together - arrive on time (or up to 15 minutes early) and plan to stay until the end as a part of creating the trust in this container that is needed for such a deep dive.

Thank you and we are looking forward to co-creating this journey into the heart!

Rhythms of Cacao
• Saturday May 10th • 6-9pm •
~ Energy Exchange : $15-$25 Sliding Scale

Come join us for a magical evening of ecstatic dance, cacao blessings, embodiment practices, and primal play at Roots to Crown. Let the rhythm of the music move you, as you connect with the spirit of cacao and embrace your primal instincts. This event is a unique opportunity to let go, express yourself freely, and tap into your inner power. Don't miss out on this transformative experience!

Rhythms of Cacao came to creation through years of facilitating Ecstatic Dance and Cacao Ceremony separately, and then one day, a natural merging occurred with fine tuning a special vibration specific to this epic jungle medicine of Cacao and the world music/primal movement that would flow so perfectly with her wild and abundant self!

Come out and explore freedom of expression through music and dance as a tool to let go into the wild wonder of uninhibitedly being yourSelf! All this in the container that is Community and you have a recipe ripe with ecstacy. This is medicine for body, mind and Soul!

The Spirit of Cacao will play an important role in this vibrational voyage. She’ll assist us in opening our hearts, connecting to each other, finding a profound level of awareness, creativity and healing, and completely letting go!

Your Guide: Mateo Solecito is a music+movement journeyman who strives to offer vibes where healing spaces amidst a safe communal container are as integral to the Ecstatic Dances experience as is the vibrational medicine itself. Bringing together an eclectic mix of genres from around the world, we get down with the get-down to tunes with an emphasis on tribal-beats, remixed medicine and rainbow music, antique classics, new-age funk, latin, african, hip-hop and more, in a 5-elements/5-rhythms multi-instrumental mix with minimal electronic overtone. He has hand-selected each of these gems which piece together your evening journey in a way that will reach deep to your ancient soul and have you feel heart-open, deeply held and yet totally hyped, in the rise and fall of the wave.

What to expect?
• Opening circle and cacao blessing (Please be on time )
• Warm-up and Primal Movement embodiment practices
• 108 minutes of "5-rhythms" style ecstatic dance
• Aside from the Cacao, this is a substance-free event!

** Note to the weary: Don’t think you can “dance”? Feel like it will be uncomfortable? It may be! This is common. And also a huge opportunity for growth. We promise, this is a safe container where we step out of judgment of one another, and ourselves. We guarantee* you will enjoy yourself and that you do indeed have “dance” within you - or your money back!

Dance/Space Guidelines
The following guidelines are typical of those followed at hundreds of conscious dances around the world, having been developed through community discussions and agreements over decades.

Please note: This is a Safe and Sacred Space - drug, smoking & alcohol-free!

Be mindful of others' personal boundaries. Move freely in all directions/ respect all dance forms and the people around.

It's a Non-verbal journey / with no mobile phones.

We will remind everybody to respect each other space and ask consent (using body language) to dance with others.

Be clean. Please arrive fresh with a clean body and clothes, as some of us are sensitive to any scented products (including essential oils) or strong body odors.

Be curious, open, and accepting. Please suspend judgments of self or others.

Please bring a refillable water bottle, there is free water.

The Experience

This is a space where movement becomes a practice of embodiment—an initiation to step deeper into who you truly are.

See you on the dance floor, my friends!

As DJ Kiger spins a sonic crucible of deep beats and shimmering melodies, we are invited into a ritual of transformation—an Ecstatic Dance journey where base emotions are transmuted into golden presence.

Through rhythm and stillness, fire and flow, we dissolve the boundaries of the seen and unseen. Each movement becomes a spell, each breath a catalyst—turning tension into freedom, doubt into embodied knowing.

This is the dance of inner alchemy: where shadow meets light, and the dreamer awakens to their power.

Bring your presence to the fire. Step into the mystery. Let the dance transmute you.

Will there be food?
There is gluten-free food provided after ceremony for $11 a bowl. Please go to the bar and ask for more details. There will also be cacao available at the bar.

What if I feel uncomfortable about singing in front of other people?
This is a space to be vulnerable and sing your beautiful heart out. Know you will be fully accepted and celebrated for your expression. Enjoy the ride!

What if I don’t know anyone?
We believe strangers are simply future family. So, greet people you don't know yet and ask what inspired them to come this week. They will appreciate it. And you will create meaningful relationships in the process!

What are the video and photo boundaries?
We will be recording audio and video during this experience so the Sacred City organization can share this medicine with you and the rest of the world beyond our time together. We invite you to record videos as well and tag us in your IG stories at @sacredcity_

Is this a spiritual experience?
It definitely can be. With that being said, this medicine music practice is not tied to any specific religion. We’re always looking to include medicine songs and mantras from across the globe.

See you in Ceremony, my friends

After producing nearly 300 ecstatic dances since 2018, it's time for me to open a new chapter in life. Building community through these events and Roots to Crown has been the most significant achievement of my life. I'm stoked that the space will continue, our community will grow, and many more events will be held in this space. This event marks the last EDSP event & last event of Roots to Crown before it becomes Sacred City ~ come, celebrate the transition with this final dance! - Seva

Internationally touring artist, performer, and speaker, J Brave’s intention is to inspire the remembrance of our divine nature.

He learned to transform his trauma into triumph, turn his mess into a message, and shift suffering into songs to heal himself and inspire the world.

His greatest gifts are to speak life into others, bring people together, and utilize his music as a means to unify and connect us all.

His live shows fuse storytelling and fierce Hip Hop lyrics, and his DJ sets offer a selection of Global Bass and World Beats intended to celebrate the power of diversity.

During his travels through Kemet he had a massive spiritual awakening, and has since been plant based for over 20 years as a part of his dedication to health and well-being.

As a former counselor for homeless and at-risk youth, he learned the importance of service during a nearly 10 year period working at five non-profit organizations.

He founded the legendary Hip Hop collective the Luminaries, curates events under the brand Benevolence, and co-created Actualize Music.

He also offers guidance to artists through the Keys Of Kreation community, and supports people to find healing through the creative process.

Beyond all of his accomplishments and titles he is most proud of being a father to his beautiful children Simunye and Numi.

“I am a vessel allowing the Universe to express through me" - J

We are back with Heartwaves 2.0 - Dancing with Grief. This is a sacred gathering where we honor, express, and transform grief through the healing power of movement and cacao. This journey offers a space to connect deeply with yourself, your emotions, and the wisdom of your heart as you dance through the waves of loss and love allowing your body to process emotions that words cannot always reach.

Beginning with a heart-opening cacao ceremony, the spirit of this sacred plant medicine nurtures you as it guides you into softening, surrendering, and feeling fully. Through a carefully curated musical journey, you will be guided into an embodiment practice that transitions into an ecstatic dance journey, inviting you to move through swells of sorrow, remembrance, and catharsis, ultimately arriving at a place of release and renewal.

Whether you are grieving a loved one, a past version of yourself, or the world’s collective pain, this is a space to feel, express, and alchemize your emotions through movement—whether gentle or wild, still or flowing, all forms of expression are welcome.

When/Where:
April 12th from 8p-11p at Roots to Crown in St. Pete, FL

What to Expect:
Sacred cacao ceremony – Open your heart and set intentions with this ancient plant medicine.

Ecstatic dance journey – Move through grief in a supportive, freeform dance experience.

Safe and sacred space – Express yourself without judgment, held in community.

Guided release & integration – Honor your emotions and find renewal through movement.

Together, we will create a ritual of remembrance, release, and transformation—allowing the dance to be our medicine and the cacao to be our guide. Come as you are, and let the music carry you.

Christina and our special guest DJ, Meeshy, invite you to move beyond thought and into full embodiment. This is your practice ground—to feel, express, and embody more of your true essence in a space of freedom, depth, and sacred play.

9:30pm-11pm | Sacred Fire

A Sacred City Steward invites you to sit with the fire to embrace what has awakened from the journey. We'll sing medicine songs to bring it all home. This is the space to honor what has shifted and carry it forward in your daily life.

What if I feel uncomfortable about dancing in front of other people?

Sacred City experiences invite you to go beyond the comfort zone and be courageously authentic. Knowing this can be uncomfortable sometimes, this is a space where you will be fully accepted and celebrated for your expression. Enjoy the ride!

What if I don’t know anyone?

We believe strangers are simply future family. So, greet people you don't know yet and ask what inspired them to come this week. They may deeply appreciate it. And you may create meaningful relationships in the process!

What are the video and photo boundaries?

We will be recording audio and video during this experience so the Sacred City organization can share this medicine with you and the rest of the world beyond our time together. We invite you to record videos as well and tag us in your IG stories at @sacredcity_

Is this a spiritual experience?

It definitely can be. With that being said, this medicine movement practice is not tied to any specific religion. We’re always looking to include medicine music from across the globe.

See you on the dance floor, my friends

Step into a dreamscape of sound and movement as DJ Kiger guides us on a deep, immersive Ecstatic Dance journey into a Waking Dream. Through pulsing rhythms and spacious melodies, we’ll drift between realms—where the veil between waking and dreaming dissolves.

Move through surreal textures of tenderness, play, and release. Let your body tell stories the mind can’t hold, and follow the music as it blurs the lines between what is and what could be.

Together, we’ll explore the edge of the imagined and the real—dancing in that luminous space where anything is possible.

Bring your presence. Let the dream unfold.

At Sacred City experiences, sober means drug, alcohol and psychedelic free. While there are many different medicines that serve people in different ways, we ask that the sober container is honored at our events.

Will there be food?
There is gluten-free food provided after ceremony for $11 a bowl. Please go to the bar and ask for more details. There will also be cacao available at the bar.

What if I feel uncomfortable about singing in front of other people?
This is a space to be vulnerable and sing your beautiful heart out. Know you will be fully accepted and celebrated for your expression. Enjoy the ride!

What if I don’t know anyone?
We believe strangers are simply future family. So, greet people you don't know yet and ask what inspired them to come this week. They will appreciate it. And you will create meaningful relationships in the process!

What are the video and photo boundaries?
We will be recording audio and video during this experience so the Sacred City organization can share this medicine with you and the rest of the world beyond our time together. We invite you to record videos as well and tag us in your IG stories at @sacredcity_

Is this a spiritual experience?
It definitely can be. With that being said, this medicine music practice is not tied to any specific religion. We’re always looking to include medicine songs and mantras from across the globe.

See you in Ceremony, my friends

Ecstatic Dance Guidelines
----------------------------------------

Respect the Space:

No shoes, food, drinks, or candles on the dance floor.

Clean up after yourself. Props, cushions, and mats are welcome but must be returned after use.

Bathrooms and water fountain are available for your convenience.

Respect Each Other:

No talking, videos, or phones on the dance floor.

This is a sober space: no drugs or alcohol.

Practice heart-centered, non-verbal consent: make eye contact and wait for a mutual 'yes.'

Hands in prayer communicates a 'no, thank you' or signifies gratitude for a dance just shared.

Respect Yourself:

Wear comfortable attire that allows free movement and expression.

Be mindful of scents; avoid strong perfumes.

Notice judgments of yourself or others, and let them pass.

Hydrate and listen to your body’s needs.

Embrace the Experience:

You are a sovereign being. Engage in the dance in any way your body calls—stillness is also dancing.

While there are attractions outside the dance space, the magic of ecstatic dance is in our shared movement.

Join us for the closing circle to complete the journey together.

This is a sacred space for healing, connection, and expression. Let’s co-create a safe and respectful environment for all.
