Ecstatic Dance & Contact Improv ft. DJ Rasa LaVee
Rasa, (Catherine Dana Costa) has been a purveyor of words and music for as long as she can remember. A poet, singer, songwriter and improvisational performer, Rasa also plays guitar, percussion, ukulele, Native American flute and is making a valiant effort at learning the hurdy gurdy. She performs original folk, world-based and devotional music with musicians from around the globe brought together in her World Music collaborative movement called “The Redtailed Experience” and is a founding member of the local Kirtan group, Bhaav.
In 2023, Rasa discovered Ecstatic Dance and found a joy in movement that has been a part of her life ever since. She is firmly committed to getting everyone dancing and, to that end, with the unwavering support of her dance community, decided to become a DJ.
“Dance is the Juice of Life, bringing us closer to the Divine.”
Rasa is delighted that her DJ debut is at Roots to Crown. Her set is a quirky, eclectic interpretation of the Ecstatic Dance 5 Rhythms that will lead you on a moody and provocative journey.

![Sound Healing Journey with Lindy Romez Jaya Devi](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661d505f0ce0a6650386f733/1725151058772-UCQ6VSX0IJJ2M6G1H0PY/jayadevi.png)
Sound Healing Journey with Lindy Romez Jaya Devi
Sound Baths are very profound healing musical experiences and an easy way to meditate, heal, and transcend any disharmonies within the mind and body. Lindy uses Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, biosonic tuning forks, shamanic drumming, Native American flute, chanting, and various other sounds to help drop the brain into relaxing brainwave states.. Participants lay on the floor in supported savasana (corpse pose) to allow the waves of sound, frequency and vibrations to wash over them. Sound baths are a great compliment for those new to meditation and those who practice meditation regularly. If you are experiencing pain in the mind and body, this sound bath has been carefully designed to partner with you to assist in transcending lower frequency energy so you may alchemize to the higher frequency being that you are.
These instruments have been used for centuries for healing and meditation purposes. They create a range of sounds and frequencies that are harmonious to our nervous system and help to restore out-of-harmony parts of the body and mind to align us with our soul. The sounds generated by these sacred instruments are a type of vibrational medicine that promotes healing from stress, pain, depression, and most forms of dis-ease in the mind and body complex. The healing processes are initiated through en-training our brainwaves to synchronize with the perfect resonance of the universe through the unique range of tones that emit from these instruments. These tones create the perfect state for deep meditation, creative thinking, intuitive messages and powerful healing. The pure sonic waves that ring from these instruments wake up our ability to hear with more than our ears. We invite you to come and experience for yourself the powerful deep states of meditation that even someone new to meditation will be able to experience easily.
About the Facilitator
http://www.lindyromez.com
Lindy has been providing Sound Baths in the Tampa Bay area since her trip to India, March 2017. Along her own journey of healing and using sound to bring harmony to her own life experience, Lindy a former 82nd Airborne Division soldier, began to understand through the awareness of the high rate of suicide among fellow veterans that there is a need for community healing. Lindy believes that we all suffer on some level from time to time as it is a part of our life experience, and sound can be the best medicine. Through her non-profit Calm One, Inc, 501c3,
that was originally inspired by the high rate of suicide amongst veterans and the increased awareness of the mental health crisis that exists within all demographics. Her research began in 2019 and is ongoing on how sound, frequency, and vibration can offer the resonance to harmonize disharmonies within the mind and body complex. For more information and to donate visit, http://www.calmone.org
Lindy’s Collective Intention:
Our intention is to create a sacred and empowering space for those who are wholeheartedly engaged and ready to embark on a profound journey of awakening and self-discovery. We get to hold the space together for the healing and ascension for those who have been seeking to go deeper in their practice, healing and connecting with their higher purpose. If you are ready to transcend aspects of the self that no longer serve your higher purpose and recognize that you have not quite been yourself in a long time, it is with reverence and dedication that we are guided to support individuals in their spiritual growth, empowering them to embrace their true essence and live a life aligned with their soul’s purpose. We look forward to visiting with you as you are guided.

![Sound Healing Journey with Lindy Romez Jaya Devi](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661d505f0ce0a6650386f733/1725151058772-UCQ6VSX0IJJ2M6G1H0PY/jayadevi.png)
Sound Healing Journey with Lindy Romez Jaya Devi
Sound Baths are very profound healing musical experiences and an easy way to meditate, heal, and transcend any disharmonies within the mind and body. Lindy uses Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, biosonic tuning forks, shamanic drumming, Native American flute, chanting, and various other sounds to help drop the brain into relaxing brainwave states.. Participants lay on the floor in supported savasana (corpse pose) to allow the waves of sound, frequency and vibrations to wash over them. Sound baths are a great compliment for those new to meditation and those who practice meditation regularly. If you are experiencing pain in the mind and body, this sound bath has been carefully designed to partner with you to assist in transcending lower frequency energy so you may alchemize to the higher frequency being that you are.
These instruments have been used for centuries for healing and meditation purposes. They create a range of sounds and frequencies that are harmonious to our nervous system and help to restore out-of-harmony parts of the body and mind to align us with our soul. The sounds generated by these sacred instruments are a type of vibrational medicine that promotes healing from stress, pain, depression, and most forms of dis-ease in the mind and body complex. The healing processes are initiated through en-training our brainwaves to synchronize with the perfect resonance of the universe through the unique range of tones that emit from these instruments. These tones create the perfect state for deep meditation, creative thinking, intuitive messages and powerful healing. The pure sonic waves that ring from these instruments wake up our ability to hear with more than our ears. We invite you to come and experience for yourself the powerful deep states of meditation that even someone new to meditation will be able to experience easily.
About the Facilitator
http://www.lindyromez.com
Lindy has been providing Sound Baths in the Tampa Bay area since her trip to India, March 2017. Along her own journey of healing and using sound to bring harmony to her own life experience, Lindy a former 82nd Airborne Division soldier, began to understand through the awareness of the high rate of suicide among fellow veterans that there is a need for community healing. Lindy believes that we all suffer on some level from time to time as it is a part of our life experience, and sound can be the best medicine. Through her non-profit Calm One, Inc, 501c3,
that was originally inspired by the high rate of suicide amongst veterans and the increased awareness of the mental health crisis that exists within all demographics. Her research began in 2019 and is ongoing on how sound, frequency, and vibration can offer the resonance to harmonize disharmonies within the mind and body complex. For more information and to donate visit, http://www.calmone.org
Lindy’s Collective Intention:
Our intention is to create a sacred and empowering space for those who are wholeheartedly engaged and ready to embark on a profound journey of awakening and self-discovery. We get to hold the space together for the healing and ascension for those who have been seeking to go deeper in their practice, healing and connecting with their higher purpose. If you are ready to transcend aspects of the self that no longer serve your higher purpose and recognize that you have not quite been yourself in a long time, it is with reverence and dedication that we are guided to support individuals in their spiritual growth, empowering them to embrace their true essence and live a life aligned with their soul’s purpose. We look forward to visiting with you as you are guided.

Running Late
Join us for an evening of live music as indie band Running Late and singer-songwriter Tori Vinson make their St. Pete debut, with support from local musician, Sophia Ciocca at Roots to Crown on Aug 30.
Doors open 7 PM ; Concert is from 7:30 - 10 PM
Running Late is a captivating singer-songwriter trio from Tallahassee, FL, blending the heartfelt introspection of Americana with the raw emotional depth of emo. Featuring the talents of Jay Collar, Synnøve Mikkelsen, and Carson Scher, their sound is a rich tapestry of melancholic melodies and powerful, driving rhythms. The band’s debut EP, Leave Me Something, explores themes of nature, the passage of time, and personal transformation, creating a warm and immersive soundscape that invites deep reflection. From the resonant bass lines to the ethereal yet melodic guitars, all anchored by Jay’s evocative vocals, Running Late’s music is more than just sound—it’s an experience.
Tori Vinson, a Pensacola-born musician with a soulful voice and a deep passion for storytelling through song, is also set to perform. Known for her work as Tori Lucia, she’s made waves in the indie rock scene with her band, Tori Lucia & The Nitty Gritties. With performances at prestigious events like the Pensacola Beach Songwriters Festival, Tori’s sound is as versatile as it is captivating. Her recent solo EP, Songs About The Moon, showcases a dynamic range of emotions and styles, from the infectious energy of “Maybe” to the haunting beauty of “Moondance.” Whether she’s delivering a soulful ballad or an upbeat anthem, Tori’s music resonates with honesty and a deep connection to the human experience.
Adding to the evening’s depth is Sophia Ciocca, an acclaimed local artist from St. Petersburg. Known for her catchy hooks, striking authenticity, and stripped-down sound reminiscent of the iconic Juno soundtrack, Sophia’s music is a journey into her inner world. Her profoundly confessional lyrics, drawn from her experiences with mental health struggles, trauma therapy, and the tender process of reparenting, offer a warm light for those in the dark. Her upcoming debut album, In Search of Home, tells the story of that journey, providing solace for sensitive souls and a lantern for anyone feeling alone.
This event is offered on a sliding scale!
We suggest donating $10-20 to help support these artists and the venue.

Trees of the Forest: Ecstatic Dance & Contact Improv
Join us for an enchanting evening of Ecstatic Dance as we dive deep into the theme of "Trees of the Forest" with DJ Dharmadrum, the longest-running Ecstatic Dance DJ in Tampa Bay. With residencies at Movement Sanctuary, Roots to Crown, High Vibe Fridays, and High Vibe Ecstatic Dance on The Beach, DJ Dharmadrum brings a wealth of experience and a vast musical palette that spans the globe. His sets are a profound journey through the healing aspects of frequency, vibration, and movement, blending everything from Tribal chants, Techno, Psy Trance, Disco, and immersive soundscapes, to Yoga meditation and Binaural beats.
For this special dance, we'll explore ourselves as individual trees, standing tall and strong, yet deeply connected to each other as a small forest. As we dance, we'll expand this metaphor to include all of humanity, all of life, and consciousness itself as one giant, interconnected forest. The music selection will be mystical, invoking feelings of being on a grand journey through ancient woods, with Celtic, hobbit-inspired vibes, the sounds of wind rustling through the leaves, the gentle flow of waterfalls, and the whispers of the forest guiding our way.
Step into the magic of the forest, where movement is medicine, music heals, and dancing is pure alchemy. Whether you are a towering oak or a graceful willow, come as you are, and together, let’s create a forest of life, love, and consciousness on the dance floor.

SPIRALS: Ecstatic dance + Contact Improv
Spirals: A Journey Through the Cycles of Life
Join us for an evening of dynamic movement and deep connection as we explore the sacred geometry of the spiral—a symbol that reflects the endless journey of growth and self-discovery. From the spirals in the Milky Way to the patterns found in seashells and our very DNA, the spiral represents the continuous cycles of life, where each turn offers new insights and deeper understanding.
The evening will open with a special performance by Myles Optimystic, a St. Pete-based Hip Hop & Indie Pop artist whose music touches on themes of mindfulness, healing, and collective transformation. Myles will perform their evocative song, "Spirals," setting the tone for a night of introspection and celebration. With music that ranges from high-energy anthems to reflective melodies, Myles reminds us of our shared journey through life—one that is unified by sound, breath, and the conscious awareness that we are all interconnected.
Following Myles' performance, DJ JADI (Joel Jadus) will guide us through a high-energy dance journey, weaving together genres like melodic house, trap, future bass, and electronic. Each track is thoughtfully chosen to elevate your spirit and help you connect more deeply with yourself and the community around you. As we dance, we'll mirror the rhythms of the universe, moving in spirals that represent both personal growth and the unity of all life.
This isn't just a dance—it's an opportunity to reconnect with your inner self and the world around you. Whether you're revisiting lessons you've learned before or discovering new truths, this night will be a celebration of the infinite cycles of life, through movement, music, and shared experience.
Come and dance with us, as we honor the spiral and the endless journey it represents

What is Contact Beyond Contact?
-----------------------------------------
From a deep sense of listening, Contact Beyond Contact is a somatic movement practice that offers a profound opportunity to deepen awareness in relationship with yourself, with one another, and with Spirit. It provides a clear structure to orient to the vibrations of different states that are eternally present. CBC weaves ancient healing practices with modern function.
As the facilitator, Cameo Rose aims to create an environment that strengthens safety within, so we can create magic together. She stands for connection, authenticity, and trust.
Drawing from over 10 years of therapeutic dance, she opens awareness to release trauma and discover exquisite truth. As a Craniosacral therapist, Crisis Stabilization Specialist, and bodyworker, she holds an anchor to recognize one’s inner truth. Let's find it and uncover your inner wisdom as we move and connect with each other. This class invites you to literally lean on each other.
This contact practice establishes a strong foundation to enter the Ecstatic Dance realm directly following class. We aim to cultivate a more connected community through authentic movement. So, bring your whole self and let's play.
Join us to co-regulate nervous system health, lose yourself in dance, and find a deeper connection with your source power... together.

Serpentine Salua is an ecstatic dance DJ bridging tribal, indigenous sounds with electronic, downtemple wubs for the ultimate sonic alchemy experience. She embodies the spirit of the serpent, the mystical, visionary archetype of the feminine mysteries. Serpentine meaning the primal, eternal movement of death and rebirth, transformation, alchemy and creation. Serpentine meaning a Return to the Rhythms of the Earth. She was born and raised in Colombia and is influenced by her ancestral roots. She has been facilitating ceremonies the last few years with cacao and other plant medicines.

Greg Wrenn's MOTHERSHIP: Ayahuasca as Trauma Medicine & Eco-Sacrament
This is your chance to hear Professor Greg Wrenn read from his fascinating new book, MOTHERSHIP: A MEMOIR OF WONDER AND CRISIS
Join us at Roots to Crown for an intimate gathering of storytelling and ecological and spiritual exploration co-sponsored by Noonautics.org and the Tampa Bay Psychedelic Community. Come face to face with the reparenting force of Madre Ayahuasca — and learn the science behind this psychedelic medicine’s ability to heal childhood trauma and connect us with our larger purpose❤️
Weaving together memoir and 70 peer-reviewed scientific articles, MOTHERSHIP is both a coming-of-age story and a deeply researched account of how coral reefs and ayahuasca helped Greg heal from complex PTSD—and awakened him to the need for us to heal the planet as well. Rick Doblin, PhD called MOTHERSHIP “a deeply moving roadmap through the intertwined destinies of individual well-being and the urgent need to heal our planet," and Rachel Harris, PhD, author of LISTENING TO AYAHUASCA, said it's “an important contribution to the growing field of psychedelic study."
Event Highlights:
* Explore a healing paradigm possibly more powerful than many traditional therapeutic models, and the role psychedelics can play in our time of widespread mental illness and the ongoing climate crisis.
* Hear a well-crafted tale that weaves threads of memoir, mental health struggles, scientific research, and good-old-fashioned psychedelic adventure.
* Get your book signed! After a talk and discussion-based Q+A, Greg Wrenn will sign copies of his book.
* Connect! As always, we will have an opportunity afterwards to meet other like-minded individuals, and come away with new friends
A former Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, Greg is currently an associate professor of English at James Madison University, where he weaves climate change science into literary studies. He also teaches writing through Stanford Continuing Studies and in the Bennington College Low-Residency MFA Program. His work has appeared or is forthcoming in HuffPost, The New Republic, Al Jazeera, The Rumpus, LitHub, The Iowa Review, and elsewhere. A student of ayahuasca since 2019, he is a trained yoga teacher and a PADI Advanced Open Water diver, having explored coral reefs around the world for over 25 years. He and his husband live in the mountains of Virginia, the ancestral land of the Manahoac and Monacan people. Find out more on Instagram @gregjwrenn or at gregwrenn.com.

Elementals | Ecstatic Dance + Contact Improv
This week, we invite you to join us in honoring and playing with each element: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. From the grounded strength of Earth to the transcendent essence of Ether, we'll explore the raw power, texture, and beauty of these elements through guided movement practices.
DJ Bongos crafts a musical experience that resonates with the essence of each element. Feel the grounding vibrations of earthy beats, flow with the fluid rhythms of water, ignite your spirit with fiery tracks, soar with airy melodies, and transcend with ethereal sounds. His music will take us from playful exploration to deep introspection and back again, making every moment on the dance floor a celebration of life and connection.
Join us for an unforgettable night where we dance not just with our bodies, but with our souls. Let's connect with the elements, with each other, and with the infinite possibilities within us.

![Sound Healing Journey with Lindy Romez (Jaya Devi)](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661d505f0ce0a6650386f733/1716298690224-ZH2EK0IYR2TIT7TBOYNU/Lindy+Updated+IG.png)
Sound Healing Journey with Lindy Romez (Jaya Devi)
Sound Baths are very profound healing musical experiences and an easy way to meditate, heal, and transcend any disharmonies within the mind and body. Lindy uses Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, biosonic tuning forks, shamanic drumming, Native American flute, chanting, and various other sounds to help drop the brain into relaxing brainwave states.. Participants lay on the floor in supported savasana (corpse pose) to allow the waves of sound, frequency and vibrations to wash over them. Sound baths are a great compliment for those new to meditation and those who practice meditation regularly. If you are experiencing pain in the mind and body, this sound bath has been carefully designed to partner with you to assist in transcending lower frequency energy so you may alchemize to the higher frequency being that you are.
These instruments have been used for centuries for healing and meditation purposes. They create a range of sounds and frequencies that are harmonious to our nervous system and help to restore out-of-harmony parts of the body and mind to align us with our soul. The sounds generated by these sacred instruments are a type of vibrational medicine that promotes healing from stress, pain, depression, and most forms of dis-ease in the mind and body complex. The healing processes are initiated through en-training our brainwaves to synchronize with the perfect resonance of the universe through the unique range of tones that emit from these instruments. These tones create the perfect state for deep meditation, creative thinking, intuitive messages and powerful healing. The pure sonic waves that ring from these instruments wake up our ability to hear with more than our ears. We invite you to come and experience for yourself the powerful deep states of meditation that even someone new to meditation will be able to experience easily.
About the Facilitator
http://www.lindyromez.com
Lindy has been providing Sound Baths in the Tampa Bay area since her trip to India, March 2017. Along her own journey of healing and using sound to bring harmony to her own life experience, Lindy a former 82nd Airborne Division soldier, began to understand through the awareness of the high rate of suicide among fellow veterans that there is a need for community healing. Lindy believes that we all suffer on some level from time to time as it is a part of our life experience, and sound can be the best medicine. Through her non-profit Calm One, Inc, 501c3,
that was originally inspired by the high rate of suicide amongst veterans and the increased awareness of the mental health crisis that exists within all demographics. Her research began in 2019 and is ongoing on how sound, frequency, and vibration can offer the resonance to harmonize disharmonies within the mind and body complex. For more information and to donate visit, http://www.calmone.org
Lindy’s Collective Intention:
Our intention is to create a sacred and empowering space for those who are wholeheartedly engaged and ready to embark on a profound journey of awakening and self-discovery. We get to hold the space together for the healing and ascension for those who have been seeking to go deeper in their practice, healing and connecting with their higher purpose. If you are ready to transcend aspects of the self that no longer serve your higher purpose and recognize that you have not quite been yourself in a long time, it is with reverence and dedication that we are guided to support individuals in their spiritual growth, empowering them to embrace their true essence and live a life aligned with their soul’s purpose. We look forward to visiting with you as you are guided.

Sacred City Ceremony
Announcements!
1. Roots to Crown is welcoming us to have Ceremony in their Conscious Space this week.
2. There is a large paid parking lot next to Roots right under the highway if needed.
3. Doors open at 6:30pm and we ask that you are seated and ready when we begin Ceremony at 7:15pm sharp.
4. There will be a kids play space during the opening (7-7:30) and closing (9-9:30) times of Ceremony. This is available to support parents during these designated times of the experience that call for reverent silence.
The Community
Sacred City is a magical place, built, brick by brick, with each courageous choice to be who we truly are then embrace however life unfolds from that authentic place.
Together, we do 3 things. We journey in ceremony to remember more of who we are, we step boldly into our daily lives to embody more of who we are, and we gather in celebration to rejoice in the magic that is created from embracing the meaningful adventure of an authentic life.
The Experience
Together, we will ecstatically sing our way into the heartspace where we can return deeper into our true nature and most authentic expression.
This journey is 2 hour and a half hours of sacred and silly, so get ready to drop in deep, and have some fun along the way.
The Exchange
We are welcoming an exchange of $11 at the door for Ceremony. With that being said, we will never turn anyone away. If you aren't able to contribute this time, tell the person at the front "I am choosing the receive option tonight." You will then be let in for free.
4 Notes for You
1. 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!
2. 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!
3. 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.
4. This Kirtan practice is not tied to any specific religion and is always looking to include songs from the spectrum of spiritual traditions across the globe.
Important Details
1. Doors open at 6:30PM
2. The journey begins at 7:15PM sharp and ends at 9:30PM
3. Bring cozy cushions, pillows and blankets to sit on
4. The band will hold the container with their musical instruments. Simply bring your presence and your voice!
5. No experience required
6. Only attend if you plan on being deeply present and participating fully
7. Only attend if a sacred, silly, sober, safe, and sovereign container is what you desire for your Friday night!
See you in the circle, my friends

Ecstatic Dance: Journey Through Time
Enter a portal of timelessness where our past, present, and future selves collide. We'll dance with our inner child, connect with versions of our past, drop into all that is present, and call in our most aligned future selves to merge together through dance in this ecstatic journey through time.
DJ Kiger has curated a special journey, inviting our multidimensional selves to the dance floor. Each wave of music is designed to foster a deeply embodied connection to every layer of our being. Experience playful nostalgia as we dance through our past, feel the vibrant energy of modern dance music in the present, and explore the unknown with futuristic genres. DJ Kiger seamlessly blends house, electro, indie, synthpop, and dark electronic music, creating a rich tapestry of sound, allowing all versions of ourselves to merge

Heaven on Earth 2.0
Join us at “ Heaven on Earth “ for holistic and earth-education workshops followed by communal medicine music!
Brielle Águila will lead us in a Permaculture Talk, talking about the food forest perennial plants we have growing here. She will talk about their growth and ways to utilize them for our health, as well what they provide for the food forest’s health. She will also talk about the food forest layers and permaculture principles that we can apply in our lives physically and spiritually for Mother Earth and our collective restoration. She will then offer a medicine music set of original songs she has channeled for the healing of all relations and transmutation of pain into inspiration, strength and peace.
Maite La Muse will offer a True Voice Class and Medicine Song set as well. As a writer and composer, Maité draws on her multi-ethnic background to write songs using a variety of languages, cultures, and styles. Based in Hawaii, she draws inspiration from the natural elements, world music, ceremony, and her own personal journey of healing. With her hypnotic voice and powerful lyrics, she captures a growing international audience of devoted listeners. Maité is celebrated for her ability to merge genres, seamlessly weaving etheric melodies and words together for listeners to resonate deeply with. She also works as a mentor for those learning to use their voices to express themselves fully and authentically, and holds voice workshops around the world.
True voice Workshop by Maite will help open your voice to express your hearts song. This workshop is a safe and soft space for you to gently explore the hidden treasures and blocks inside of your voice, as well as the many sounds and stories that live within you. We will use practices to get comfortable using your voice and expand your capacity to receive your unique and authentic sound. In this workshop, you will investigate the blocks around your authentic voice, and be held and supported in softening those edges. You will practice embodying your voice with authenticity, empowerment, and deep presence, and have fun along the way.
Xue Lionstone is a singer songwriter based in Asheville, NC. He utilizes the keyboard to create an almost Psychedelic, meditative soundscape and is also known for his funky rythmic style of playing. He brings all original music from the heart for the heart. If you are in the audience at one of his shows, you are considered to be in the band/choir. So expect to activate your voice, and sing affirmational refrains like "I'm a divine creature walking on this earth" and "I'm gonna lead with my voice." Xue's passion is to guide singalong experiences that uplift and get people dancing and feeling.
Respect. Reconnect. Restore.

Ecstatic Dance + CBC | Jami Deva
From the Heart of Jämi Deva,
Ecstatic Dance DJ, Event Producer,
& Minister of Music
Aloha,
I want to share my intentions for DJing Ecstatic Dance, and the energy that’s possible for us to experience on the dance floor together.
Here in Hawaii, every time we pray or do good deeds, it is believed that we increase our MANA (spiritual magnetism). In this way, Mana is something that can be cultivated through your practices, rituals, ceremonies, prayers & offerings. We can also deplete our Mana by being negative, worrisome or from not taking good care of ourselves and one another.
Ecstatic Dance has become a way that I bring a lot of MANA to share with the dancers.
For me, DJing Ecstatic Dance is bringing this energy of transformation through on the dancefloor - A prayer to help us remember who we are and how sacred this life and this practice of coming together is.
This practice of dancing is a practice of renewal - one where we clear our own energy field individually and within the sacred container of ecstatic dance - we offer one another a space free of judgement - a clear space of appreciation and reverence for the sacredness of this life and the opportunity to be in a human body.
The energy that can be felt within the commUnity has the potential to heal us by renewing our faith in one another, to give us hope that we can get through whatever comes up and to activate our love on a soul level - being fully present to what is, here and now.
To take it one step further, we can dedicate our practice to the upliftment of ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE - where not one is left out.
My sets are infused with prayers from around the world -
Prayers of reverence & love.
Prayers of freedom & release.
Prayers of renewal & gratitude.
Prayers of healing & Unity.
This life hasn’t been easy for any of us.
Especially in these times now.
Let us bring the best of ourselves to the dance
floor once again in honor of the One who made us
and all life everywhere.
Let us ripple out this love far and wide
throughout the cosmos like the light of a radiant star
burning bright.
For the benefit of All beings everywhere.
Wherever your Ecstatic Dance,
come prepared to dance hard
and to go deep in discovering
just how incredibly blessed we can be together.
-Jämi Deva
Note: Jämi often features ample amounts of Amapiano in his Ecstatic Dance sets,
with his live Djembe drumming mixed into the music.

As the facilitator, Cameo Rose aims to create an environment that strengthens safety within, so we can create magic together. She stands for connection, authenticity, and trust.
Drawing from over 10 years of therapeutic dance, she opens awareness to release trauma and discover exquisite truth. As a Craniosacral therapist, Crisis Stabilization Specialist, and bodyworker, she holds an anchor to recognize one’s inner truth. Let's find it and uncover your inner wisdom as we move and connect with each other. This class invites you to literally lean on each other.
This contact practice establishes a strong foundation to enter the Ecstatic Dance realm directly following class. We aim to cultivate a more connected community through authentic movement. So, bring your whole self and let's play.
Join us to co-regulate nervous system health, lose yourself in dance, and find a deeper connection with your source power... together.

Sacred City Ceremony
Announcements!
1. Roots to Crown is welcoming us to have Ceremony in their Conscious Space this week.
2. There is a large paid parking lot next to Roots right under the highway if needed.
3. Doors open at 6:30pm and we ask that you are seated and ready when we begin Ceremony at 7:15pm sharp.
4. There will be a kids play space during the opening (7-7:30) and closing (9-9:30) times of Ceremony. This is available to support parents during these designated times of the experience that call for reverent silence.
The Community
Sacred City is a magical place, built, brick by brick, with each courageous choice to be who we truly are then embrace however life unfolds from that authentic place.
Together, we do 3 things. We journey in ceremony to remember more of who we are, we step boldly into our daily lives to embody more of who we are, and we gather in celebration to rejoice in the magic that is created from embracing the meaningful adventure of an authentic life.
The Experience
Together, we will ecstatically sing our way into the heartspace where we can return deeper into our true nature and most authentic expression.
This journey is 2 hour and a half hours of sacred and silly, so get ready to drop in deep, and have some fun along the way.
The Exchange
We are welcoming an exchange of $11 at the door for Ceremony. With that being said, we will never turn anyone away. If you aren't able to contribute this time, tell the person at the front "I am choosing the receive option tonight." You will then be let in for free.
4 Notes for You
1. 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!
2. 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!
3. 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.
4. This Kirtan practice is not tied to any specific religion and is always looking to include songs from the spectrum of spiritual traditions across the globe.
Important Details
1. Doors open at 6:30PM
2. The journey begins at 7:15PM sharp and ends at 9:30PM
3. Bring cozy cushions, pillows and blankets to sit on
4. The band will hold the container with their musical instruments. Simply bring your presence and your voice!
5. No experience required
6. Only attend if you plan on being deeply present and participating fully
7. Only attend if a sacred, silly, sober, safe, and sovereign container is what you desire for your Friday night!
See you in the circle, my friends

Ecstatic Dance | INDEPENDANCE
Join us on this Independence dance for INDEPENDANCE!
An Ecstatic Dance Experience with Contact Improv!
DJ Kat / Kelly Atkins will be leading the Ecstatic Dance tonight!
DJ Kat has some surprises musically in store for us on the 4th of July! The tantric-powered journey will turn “on” your inner lights and offer a long game of deep dancing through jungles, on top of mountains, thru streams, and over the ocean. Come journey into the world of tribal, house, electronica, mystical tantric vibes, with medicine and chant music. We will open with some playful dominant/passive role play and creative tension to invite in the challenges, worries, and fears and dance through them.
Tonight, Contact will be led by Arthur Burton!
Prompts and guidance will be provided for those new to the practice, or you're welcome to just groove and move as you wish!
The jam is donation-based. Donations are split between the venue and the facilitator. Your support is appreciated!
