Ecstatic Dance + Contact Improv | DJ SolMira

DJ SolMira is back for another edance! Growing up in Tampa in her early 20’s she was immersed in the underground house music scene and her musical inspirations were seeded way back then and include Damien Lazaurs, Laurent Garnier and many others from her home town. In more recent years she’s found inspiration among dubstep artists such as Inner Forest, Goopsteppa, ATYYA and Dimond Saints.

SolMira’s mixes range from melodic/progressive house, breakbeats, deep dubstep and experimental bass. Her style is ecelctic but always moving either way… putting you in your feels or having you shake your ass on the dance floor… likely both at the same time!

SolMira, renowned for her dynamic and soulful DJ sets, is more than just a musical maestro; she's a visionary on a mission to uplift human consciousness.

At the heart of her passion project, SolMira Subliminals, lies a dedication to harnessing the transformative power of sound for personal growth and awakening by offering a practical and easy method for reprogramming the subconscious mind.

Join her for a musical journey, sure to uplift your spirits and get your body moving.

Container Boundary (Please Read!)
Sacred City will be closing the doors for Ceremony at 7:15pm sharp to begin. To join the experience, please arrive before 7:15pm.

The intention of this is to all be together when we open the container. We’ve found it builds cohesiveness and trust when everyone begins together. Doors open at 6pm for you to arrive, grab a cacao elixir from the bar and settle in.

The Exchange
We are welcoming an exchange of $20 at the door for Ceremony.

With that being said, there is an option to attend for free. Tell the person at the front "I am choosing the service option tonight." You will then be let in for free. In exchange, we ask that you support breakdown from 9:30pm to 10pm at the end of Ceremony.

FAQ

What do I do for parking?
There is plenty of street parking, as well as a large paid parking lot next to Roots right under the highway if needed.

What do I need to bring?
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

PULSE - Expressing Your Inner Rave
Feb

PULSE - Expressing Your Inner Rave

“The birthright of each of us, includes an opportunity to realize we are a dance of light and energy

We are a living, breathing, laughing, loving animation of the divine”

Darlene Tataryn

Come explore a day of awakening our senses, raising our vibrational energy, and attuning to our natural rhythm in life. Give yourself permission to stomp, play, shout, and dance in the moment.

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.

Meet your Facilitator:

Zen Ko (Ryan) has been on his holistic journey of healing and awareness for more than 30 years. He studied Massage Therapy, Shiatsu, Energy Work, and Mindfulness at the Bhakti Academy in Clearwater, Florida.

As part of the Mankind Project, Zen Ko brings a unique perspective to holding space and honoring personal healing and growth. He has an intuitive gift for helping others recognize and work through emotional blocks caused by old wounds of trauma and understanding how these affect daily life.

After taking Jukai and receiving his Dharma transmission, he dedicated himself to honoring the Buddhist path. He continues ongoing studies in Spiritual Counseling and Rinzai Priest training with Fugen Roshi Tom Pitner of Dragon Heart Dharma and Ekai Joel Kreisberg of Shining Bright Lotus Meditation Society.

Zen Ko’s ongoing commitment to studying and teaching compassionate awareness and Clear Deep Heart Mind is expressed in his personal mission statement:

"I create a world of beauty and awareness by affirming, embracing, and loving all beings."

Recently relocated to the Dunedin area, Ryan enjoys trekking wild trails, fighting the occasional windmill with his bare hands, connecting with nature, and making gumbo.

Ryan is also available to facilitate meditation groups, workshops, healing retreats, and one-on-one energy healing and meditation circles.

Cost: $35.00

There is limited availability for this event, so please secure your payment and registration.

Sacred City Ceremony
Jan
17

Sacred City Ceremony

The Experience

Together, we will ecstatically sing our way into the heartspace where we can remember more of our true nature and embody more of our 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.

Container Boundary

Sacred City will be closing the container for Ceremony at 7:15pm sharp to begin. To join the experience, you must arrive before 7:15pm. The intention of this is to all be together when we open the container. We’ve found it builds cohesiveness and trust when everyone begins together. Doors open at 6:30pm for you to arrive and settle in.

The Exchange

We are welcoming an exchange of $20 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.

FAQ

What are the time deets for Ceremony?

To experience Sacred City Ceremony, you must arrive by 7:15pm at the latest. Doors open at 6:30PM to spaciously settle in. The journey begins at 7:15PM sharp and ends at 9:30PM.

What do I do for parking?

There is plenty of street parking, as well as a large paid parking lot next to Roots right under the highway if needed.

What do I need to bring?

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 do not bring instruments 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. There will be a free 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.

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 🕺🏻✨❤️🙏🏼

Primal Ecstatic Dance Experience

Prepare to awaken your primal instincts for this Ecstatic Dance Journey, where we embody the spirit of the wild. Together, we’ll explore the raw energy of animalistic movement, channeling the untamed power and grace of creatures across the earth.

DJ Kiger has crafted a vibrant, immersive set, taking us from the lush rainforests to the vast savannas, from towering mountains to the icy Arctic. His music will inspire a journey through the animal kingdom, guiding you to connect with a wide range of animal spirits and awaken your most creative expression.

Participants will be encouraged to express their raw and untamed selves, exploring a variety of primal and animalistic movements—crawling, prowling, soaring, slithering, and roaring with unfiltered energy. Let the beats flow through you as you embody the essence of the wild, surrendering to your inner creature and releasing inhibitions.

This is a primal celebration of life, where we honor the wild within, embrace creative freedom, and move as one with the natural world. Let the rhythm carry you through an unforgettable journey of connection, expression, and untamed vitality.

SolMira’s mixes range from melodic/progressive house, breakbeats, deep dubstep and experimental bass. Her style is ecelctic but always moving either way… putting you in your feels or having you shake your ass on the dance floor… likely both at the same time!

SolMira, renowned for her dynamic and soulful DJ sets, is more than just a musical maestro; she's a visionary on a mission to uplift human consciousness.

At the heart of her passion project, SolMira Subliminals, lies a dedication to harnessing the transformative power of sound for personal growth and awakening by offering a practical and easy method for reprogramming the subconscious mind.

Chris Dingman | Immersive Vibraphone Sound Journey
Jan

Chris Dingman | Immersive Vibraphone Sound Journey

Join vibraphonist Chris Dingman for an evening of immersive channeled sound journeying, reflection, relaxation, inspiration, and community to start off the New Year.

Allow the waves of vibration to wash over you, with transcendent sounds that transport you to a beautiful place, where relaxation, healing, and connection can happen.

Chris plays the vibraphone, a beautiful and unique instrument with a complex and ethereal sound. With a virtuosic, one-of-a-kind approach to the instrument, Chris has a singular way of playing using waves and layers of sound that bring the listener deeper and deeper into the journey. He enters a trance state, using the instrument and his voice to channel music that has the ability to bring listeners along into an altered or heightened state where healing, connection, visions, and inspiration can occur.

You may find yourself going into a deepening state of relaxation, of increasing purification, or even an internal journey that unfolds like a dream. Frequently listeners report a change in their perception of time during this experience. Hope is a major theme in Chris’s channeled work and listeners often find themselves leaving sessions surprisingly rejuvenated, centered, and with new perspectives, as well as more grounded and relaxed.

We welcome you to join us and start the New Year off in sacred community at Roots to Crown.

Event Flow:

7 pm Doors Open

7:30 pm Sound Journey begins, entry not permitted after this time.

8:30 pm Integration period

What to expect from this experience:

• A warm welcome

• Mats, cushions and back-jacks will be provided

• You will be invited to find a comfortable position and set intentions for the session

• Chris will guide the group in a short visualization meditation, bringing all into grounded, centered sacred space

• Chris will play a 60-minute immersive channeled sound journey, using vibraphone and vocals

• As the journey comes to a close, you will be gently brought back into physical awareness and invited to reflect on the experience, noting new perspectives, guidance, or anything else that comes up

• There will be a brief sharing time and thank you at the end

• You will be welcome to stay for an optional, post-event social hour with like-minded, open-hearted community

Bio

An acclaimed musician of many genres, Chris Dingman has been performing on the vibraphone for 25+ years, including with celebrated masters Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and many others. He brings together this background with a host of studies and influences from around the world, in service of taking listeners on a journey to a transcendent place.

Trained and practiced in the fields of jazz, experimental, and world music for decades, Chris’s trajectory changed when, in 2018, his father entered hospice. Chris played and recorded meditative music as an act of care for him in his final months of life. This music became the 5-hour extended album Peace.

Since then, Chris has brought his special brand of healing music journeys far and wide, from live sessions at Omega Institute and The Rubin Museum of Art to his online series Transformations, his work as sonic shaman with the Psychedelic Sangha, music for mediumship circles, and much more. His critically acclaimed albums Journeys vol. 1 and vol. 2, are described by The New York Times as “hypnotizing.”

Chris has presented talks and performances at the Gold Foundation Conference on Humanism in Medicine, the American College of Physicians, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (NYC), Orlando Health, and written for the Johns Hopkins Medicine blog. He has been profiled by NPR, the New York Times, AMNY, and many other publications, and has received fellowships and grants from Chamber Music America, New Music USA, South Arts, and the Thelonious Monk Institute.

Sacred City New Years Eve

Join us for an ecstatic evening of NEW YEARS EXPANSION, a transformational experience of reflection, embodiment and celebration!

Together will honor the journey of the past year, ground ourselves in the beauty of the present moment, and step boldly into the possibilities of the future.

Come ready to drop deep into ceremony, sing your heart out, unleash your full expression on the dance floor, and embrace the juicy richness of an authentic way of living.

Let’s rejoice in the growth we've cultivated, embody the values we wish to live by, and welcome the coming year with clarity, courage, and wide-open hearts.

THE JOURNEY

6pm | Community Connection Time

Take this sacred time to settle into the warmth of this vibrant community, grounding yourself in the energy of connection before we embark on an epic journey together. The bar will be offering heart-opening cacao and other conscious elixirs.

7pm | Chapter 1 | Sacred Cacao Ceremony

Our journey begins with a cacao ceremony held with the intention to honor the courageous choices, triumphs, and lessons that shaped our path this year and celebrate the resilience and growth that have brought us to this moment. With the sacred medicine of cacao nourishing our spirits, we’ll step boldly into the possibilities of 2025, embodying the empowered versions of ourselves we are destined to become.

Come ready to deep dive into the essence of your journey, integrating the wisdom and stepping forward into expansion.

7:30pm | Chapter 2 | Powerful Kirtan Journey

The second chapter of the journey is an adventure beyond the mind and into the boundless expanse of the heart. Through a musical journey led by the Sacred City Band, we’ll immerse ourselves in the powerful vibrations of mantra singing, unlocking the sacred portal within to reconnect with the essence of who we truly are.

Prepare to awaken to more of the radiant magic that lives within you, as each repetition of the mantras becomes a bridge to deeper self-discovery and truth.

This is a spiritually open and profoundly welcoming experience and no prior experience is needed to engage in this practice of authentic expression.

9pm-1am | Chapter 3 | Epic Dance Celebration

Our night culminates with a high energy dance celebration first with a collaboration between Meeshy and Medicine Muse, then DEVA RUNA of Bird Tribe and RUBY CHASE will take us on an epic ride into the new year expansion portal. Our iconic lineup of magical musical muses are ready to create an epic ceremonial space of activation, blasting us into the cosmos and grounding us back into 2025 ready for the next powerful chapters in our lives. Come ready to go on a deeply sacred and wildly expansive ride. This is a safe and accepting space for you to express yourself freely and move however you feel called to move.

Can kids come?

Kids can absolutely come if they are supervised 100% of the time or are responsbile enough to not need supervision.

THE SACRED CITY MOVEMENT

Sacred City is a place where daily life feels like a magical ride. It's built, brick by brick, with each courageous choice to embody our true nature then embrace however life unfolds from that authentic place. Together, we journey in ceremony to remember more of who we are, step into initiation retreats to embody more of who we are, and gather in celebration to rejoice the magic that is created from embracing the meaningful adventure of an authentic life.

The 5 Pillars of Sacred City
These core principles are the foundation of how we show up together in all Sacred City containers. Please only join us if these feel in full alignment and you are fully committed to embodying each one at Camp. With that being said, Sacred City does not believe this is how all experiences must be in the world, we just enjoy this particular type of container for our events. With reverence and love, we encourage anyone to opt in if they want to try it on, or opt out if it doesn't feel aligned.

•Sacred | experience the magic of presence
•Silly | experience the playfulness of expression
•Safe | experience the nourishment of acceptance
•Sober | experience the medicine of an unaltered mind
•Sovereign | experience the freedom of consent

We are excited for you to join us in embodying the Sacred City pillars and going on a magical ride together!

Special shout out to our partners Roots to Crown, Ecstatic Dance Saint Pete, Bliss Lounge, Habibi Village, and our inspiring team. It takes a village!

Ecstatic Dance + Contact Improv | Flint Blade

Dance with us into the light of Christ Consciousness in this sacred dance as we celebrate the day after Christmas in joyful movement and connection.

We’ll begin the evening with a vocal toning circle, creating a warm and supportive space to explore group harmonies in a freeform style—an auditory gift of presence and togetherness. Let your heart resonate with the divine as our voices rise like angelic choirs heralding the birth of light within us all.

Following this, Flint Blade offers a special hybrid DJ/live looping ecstatic dance set, featuring guest musicians to weave a tapestry of sound both joyous and transcendent. Imagine dancing under the guiding star, as rhythms and melodies uplift your spirit into holiday harmony.

Based in South Florida, Flint Blade tours nationally, bringing his unique blend of music to festivals and conscious community spaces. A heartfelt supporter of the ecstatic dance movement, Flint is celebrated for his work on the Chapman Stick guitar/bass tapping instrument, alongside beatbox vocal percussion and various world instruments. His signature sound evokes the spirit of peace and unity, making it perfect for this Christmas season. Flint’s original music, released through California-based High Vibe Records and his own label In Love Records, sets the tone for a night of revelry and sacred connection.

Join us for this magical evening, where movement, music, and Christ Consciousness come together in the glow of the holiday spirit.

Sacred City Ceremony
Dec
20

Sacred City Ceremony

The Experience

Together, we will ecstatically sing our way into the heartspace where we can remember more of our true nature and embody more of our 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.

Container Boundary

Sacred City will be closing the container for Ceremony at 7:15pm sharp to begin. To join the experience, you must arrive before 7:15pm. The intention of this is to all be together when we open the container. We’ve found it builds cohesiveness and trust when everyone begins together. Doors open at 6:30pm for you to arrive and settle in.

The Exchange

We are welcoming an exchange of $20 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.

FAQ

What are the time deets for Ceremony?

To experience Sacred City Ceremony, you must arrive by 7:15pm at the latest. Doors open at 6:30PM to spaciously settle in. The journey begins at 7:15PM sharp and ends at 9:30PM.

What do I do for parking?

There is plenty of street parking, as well as a large paid parking lot next to Roots right under the highway if needed.

What do I need to bring?

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 do not bring instruments 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. There will be a free 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.

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 🕺🏻✨❤️🙏🏼

Ecstatic Dance + Contact Improv ft. GÖLDNWAV

Ecstatic Dance + Contact Improv ft. GÖLDNWAV

Hailing originally from Detroit, Ashtara Kukuk aka GÖLDNWAV set out a decade ago to travel the world to see how the people move and want to be moved. Learning the language of the uninhibited body became a nonstop passion and guided her deeper into the study of music and the world of DJing.

GÖLDNWAV sets are curated to move the body & breath into new shapes, dimensions, and unchartered explorations. Heavy bass hitters, dirty trap, world beats, and glimmering organic sounds are woven into a journey of returning to Self.

With 15+ years experience as a Professional Dancer turned Somatic Dance Guide, DJing became a natural and passionate extension of her work.

She believes, movement and music together heals our modern-day crazy.

DJing with the likes of Maddy O’Neal and featured at various festivals such as Unison Fest & High Vibe, as well as Resident DJ at various ecstatic dances from the Hawaiian Islands to the Dirty South; ASHTARA'S sets are a true eclectic yet curated experience tailored for you.

Check out her SoundCloud for a taste. 👅🎧
