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.

Soul Flight St Pete
Mar
8

Soul Flight St Pete

Join us for a 3 hour Shamanic Immersion into the power of journeying with Ceremonial Cacao, Restorative Breath and Sacred Sounds.

Soul Flight is a transformational sound journey.

Multi instrumentalist Tim Morrison Live Loops Sacred sounds with an array of instruments and his voice to take you on a deep Shamanic sound journey. Lie back, relax and let the sounds take you on a deep journey inward.

The journey begins with a Cacao ceremony to open the door of our heart, allowing us to step through, discovering all of its mysteries, ready to embrace the space of openness and pure love. It gives us the opportunity to focus on intention, reverence and greater purpose.

It is followed by a gentle restorative breathwork that focuses on deepening relaxation, before we enter into a deep sound Immersion.

You can expect to hear multiple layers of Sacred instruments played with intention to create a meditative space that evokes deep transformation, personal healing and so much more.

As the sounds move their way through our nervous system we receive emotional clearing, changes in our mind, a deep inward focus, journeys where we can receive guidance, insight healing, transformation and so much more. Sound has the potential to dissolve and transmute any negative or heavy energies as the frequencies of the Sacred sound brings us up into a higher vibrational state and in doing so all that does not match this frequency, will naturally fall away.

Combining ceremonial Cacao, Breath and Sacred sounds gives us a truly powerful and unique combination.

A gentle heart expanding ceremony guided by the power of sound and Cacao. Sacred sounds guide you to release, realign and anchor into who you are.

Join the experience to discover that there is far more to consciousness than what resides in the physical body.

Are you ready to reconnect to feel the depth of who you are?

To truly feel your soul pulsating inside of you?

Together we sit in ceremony, we connect and we journey into our heart space. Surrendering gently into the process and enabling the sacred sounds to wash through us transmuting all that no longer serves.

The great gift of combining Ceremonial Cacao and Sacred sounds is that they are both high vibrational energy tools.

They both enable you to release, realign and rejuvenate with ease and grace. They both gently carry away what no longer serves from a deep internal journey.

As we drop deeper into ourselves the sounds relax us deeper and deeper, with no need for the body to activate a cathartic release but rather a deeply meditative, nurturing and nourishing journey.

The power of sound has been known for aeons but science is only just beginning to showcase it. It is one that you just receive first hand for yourself and the experience speaks for itself. It has the potential to move and positively impact our entire being.

Suitable for all levels and backgrounds. You will be provided with a deeply transformative and supported space and tools to take home with you to use day to day.

REMINDER

* Stay away from caffeine on the day of ceremony

* Eat a light breakfast

* Bring a Yoga Mat

* Bring a water bottle

* Bring a mug for your Cacao

* Bring any comfy blankets or cushions you wish to prop yourself up with

SPIRITUS St Pete

SPIRITUS St Pete

Join us for SPIRITUS

A deep journey inwards working with the power of our Breath to access altered states of consciousness.

This provides healing and integration of our nervous system, physical and emotional bodies and creates the space to remember who we truly are as whole beings.

As we breathe in a connected way, we come into our own rhythm, we access our bodies own innate healing power.

Our body remembers what our mind forgets.

Our body holds on to past memories, emotions and trauma. When we breathe deep and connected we give ourselves permission to release these suppressed energies from our body, we are able to let go and dissolve all that is no longer ours to hold any more.

And when we do so, we create spaciousness and freedom from within.

This is a personal healing journey.

Spiritus is a system where we use breath, sound and movement to release stuck, heavy energies from the body to create freedom and liberation within.

During the breathwork you will receive energetic healing and body work to allow the body to shift and move so that you may find harmony within.

—————————————————————————————————————————

This session is for you if you are looking for:

- Deeper connection to yourself and wanting to awaken within

- Enhanced sense of self, self love, harmony and vitality

- Heart expansion

- Release of old baggage, trauma, suppressed emotions and to shift negative behavioural patterns

- Increased fulfilment, vitality and joy

- Remembering of innate wisdom

- Reducing stress

- Physiological healing - 70% of toxins are released from the lungs through the breath

- A boost to your immune system, health and overall wellbeing

- Greater alignment to your purpose and increased positive abundance

- Greater connection to life

- Open to your higher self

Ecstatic Dance & Contact Improv ft. UBUNTAY

Ecstatic Dance & Contact Improv ft. UBUNTAY

Ubuntu - “an authentic individual human being is part of a larger and more significant relational, communal, societal, environmental and spiritual world”��Ubuntu + Taylor = Ubuntay��Ubuntay - A vagabond athlete and musician. Ubuntay unlocked his creative ability in the underground rave scene: Gloving, cutting shapes, tutting, and generally just dancing his ass off. As a lifelong student of movement, he devoted a lot of his attention to Ecstatic Dance.��Ubuntay’s style is dynamic, and full spectrum: Trap, Bass, House, Techno, DnB, Downtempo, and World Rhythms. He creates a cohesive journey with wide variety of textures, drum patterns, and tempos (BPM).��Ubuntay is also self taught producer of electronic music; a late bloomer with no formal education. He has a curious mind, driven by intrinsic motivation, and love for learning, math, and science.

“I believe that there is so much untapped creative potential trapped inside of the human body and mind. Dance is a doorway and a symbol for this freedom. The practice of dancing is as ancient as music and language.��The dominator culture has used shame to stifle our creative expression, especially with dance.”�

New Moon Shamanic Fire Ceremony
Feb
28

New Moon Shamanic Fire Ceremony

Join us on the new moon for a transformative Shamanic Fire Ceremony as we explore the interplay of light and darkness on our spiritual journey.

Guidance from Your Shamanic Facilitator:

In the Q'ero tradition, energies are perceived as either heavy (hucha) or light (sami), focusing on achieving balance within oneself and one's surroundings. What may be considered "dark" or "negative" energy is simply in need of transformation back to love and light. Contrast is essential on this path, and fire serves as a powerful medium to transmute these energies for the highest good. We approach this work with a sense of wonder, remembering to take the work seriously, but not ourselves. Rest assured, a safe and sacred space is meticulously prepared well in advance of the event, with intentions set for the highest benefit of all participants.

Event Overview:

Indoor Session: We will begin indoors with introductions, discussions on protocol, and a shamanic journey to prepare for the fire ceremony.

Outdoor Ceremony: Following the journey, we will move outdoors for prayer, song, and the ceremonial release to the fire.

Preparation and Attire:

Attire: In our tradition, wearing dark clothing helps keep our energy less conspicuous during the vulnerable moment of release to the fire, offering protection as we let go.

Offering: Please bring a small stick to symbolize what you're ready to release. Percussion instruments are welcome and encouraged to enrich our communal experience.

This ceremony provides a sacred space to balance energies within and around us, facilitating the transformation of heavy energies into light. Through the fire, we release what no longer serves us, creating room for renewal and alignment on our spiritual path.

About the Facilitator:

Karen Riber is a steward of the White Serpent path and the Q'ero lineage of Peru. With over 30 years of experience in shamanism, Buddhism, Hermeticism, and Native American practices, Karen blends profound wisdom and ceremony to guide transformative gatherings.

Learn more about Karen: https://whiteserpentwisdom.com/

We look forward to sharing this sacred evening of letting go and renewal with you.

Ecstatic Dance: Heartwaves, Dancing with Grief
Feb

Ecstatic Dance: Heartwaves, Dancing with Grief

Join us for Heartwaves: Dancing with Grief, 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, allowing your body to process what words cannot always reach as you dance through the waves of loss and love.

We begin with a heart-opening cacao ceremony, where the spirit of this sacred plant medicine nurtures and guides you into softening, surrendering, and feeling fully. Through a carefully curated musical journey, you will be led into an embodiment practice that transitions into an ecstatic dance experience, 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 collective pain of the world, 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.

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 freely, held in a community of care.

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.

Ride the wave of raw truth and vulnerability through self-expression. Harness the power of clear intention through meditative awareness, movement, and playful chaos.

Fuel the spark that kindles within each of us and allow the fire of life to be present by celebrating and transforming from the depths of our being.

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to embrace vulnerability and authenticity, providing a safe space to release and heal while fostering understanding and empathy among those who share.

Each step of our journey together will become a brushstroke on the canvas of our beings, expressing our joys, sadness, and everything in between.

Recognizing our truth, emotions, and deeper shadows through self-awareness is a powerful way to explore the depth of our true feelings. We will gently allow ourselves to shed light on the shadows that accompany us and the facets of ourselves that often remain unseen.

The energy, rhythm, and freedom of art, movement, and dance will allow us to externalize what is hidden within, transforming sensations into visible personal expressions. This process will not only help us explore our own self-awareness but also connect with others on a profound level.

Ecstatic Playground

Ecstatic Playground

Time: 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM

Doors open at 7:00 PM and close promptly at 7:30 PM to establish a clear field of agreements and a shared language of consent.

Ecstatic Playground offers an innovative approach to creating a sacred and sexy sandbox where erotic innocence can flourish.

Evening Flow:

  • Warm-Up: We'll begin with Contact Improv play, exploring various "games" to invite each other into on the dance floor. This allows us to express the innocence of our desires while deeply honoring everyone's YES and NO.

Dress Code:

  • Feel free to dress as sexy as you please. Consider wearing layers that can be removed throughout the evening as trust, safety, and courageous erotic freedom grow.

Important Note:

  • While we encourage exploring your sexy soul and dancing with other erotic explorers, this is not a space for sexual activity. Instead, it's a playground to explore edges and let your inner radiance shine.

Cost:

  • $22–$44 per person, with couples discounts available.

For more insights into the transformative power of play and the essence of Ecstatic Playground, you can visit their Instagram profile:

Bring cozy cushions, pillows and blankets to sit on. There are cushions there if needed. If you do not sit on the floor, we recommend bringing a chair and setting up against the back wall. We also recommend you bring water.

Can I bring my own instruments?
We ask that you bring instruments for the sacred fire after Ceremony. With that being said, we ask the you do not use instruments during and allow the band to hold the container in this way. With that being said, please bring your magical presence and your voice!

What will we be doing?
We will be singing medicine music mantras together and journeying into the heartspace to remember more of who we truly are. No experience required.

Can I bring my kiddos?
Absolutely. Kids come free. And there is a free kids play space during the entire Ceremony. This is available to support parents during these designated times of the experience that call for reverent silence, which include opening, closing, and often in between mantras. We ask that if your child is more active during these times, please bring them to the kids space.

What is my commitment to the container?
We ask that you plan on being deeply present, participating fully, and honoring the 5 pillars: sacred, silly, sober, safe, and sovereign.

What does sober mean in this container?
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
