Container Boundary (Please Read!)

Sacred City will be closing the doors for the Cacao 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 and settle in.

The Experience

This is a space where dance becomes an initiation to step deeper into who you truly are. This experience is a sacred portal where you can remember, embody, and embrace more of your magical essence, then take it from the dance floor into daily life.

6pm | Connection

This is your time to arrive, settle in, and connect—grounding into the space and the community before we embark on an epic journey together. There will also be Sacred City Shops setup in a market setting for you to explore.

7:15pm-8pm | Cacao Ceremony

Our Dance Portal steward, Christina Echevarria, invites you to step into remembrance. Through the gentle medicine of cacao, we soften, awaken, and drop into the heart, setting the foundation for the embodied journey we’re about to go on.

8pm-9:30pm | Dance Journey

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.

The Exchange

We are welcoming an exchange of $20 at the door for this Dance Portal.

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 the dance.

FAQ

What are the time deets for this experience?

To experience Sacred City Dance Portal, you must arrive by 7:15pm at the latest. Doors open at 6PM to spaciously settle in. The journey begins at 7:15PM sharp and ends at 9:30PM. The Sacred Fire will go from 9:30pm to 11pm.

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?

For the cacao ceremony, there are cushions there if needed. If you do not sit on the floor, we recommend bringing a chair. We also recommend you bring water.

What will we be doing?

We will begin with remembrance in a cacao ceremony, then move into embodiment with a dance journey, then end with a warm embrace of the shifts that happened during the experience with a sacred fire.

Can I bring my kiddos?

Absolutely. Kids come free. And there is a free kids play space during the cacao ceremony and the dance (7pm to 9:30pm). We ask that if your child is not able to honor the silence in the cacao ceremony, honor people’s personal space on the dance floor, or engage fully in the experience, please bring them to the kids space for the duration of those parts of the journey.

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 $12 a bowl. Please go to the bar and ask for more details.

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.

This is a space where dance becomes an initiation to step deeper into who you truly are. This experience is a sacred portal where you can remember, embody, and embrace more of your magical essence, then take it from the dance floor into daily life.

6pm | Connection
This is your time to arrive, settle in, and connect—grounding into the space and the community before we embark on an epic journey together.

7:15pm-8pm | Cacao Ceremony
Our Dance Portal steward, Joanna Sanchez, invites you to step into remembrance. Through the gentle medicine of cacao, we soften, awaken, and drop into the heart, setting the foundation for the embodied journey we’re about to go on.

8pm-9:30pm | Dance Journey
Joanna and our special guest DJ, Medicine Muse, 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.

Container Boundary (Please Read!)
Sacred City will be closing the doors for the Cacao 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 and settle in.

The Exchange
We are welcoming an exchange of $20 at the door for this Dance Portal.

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 the dance.

FAQ
What are the time deets for this experience?
To experience Sacred City Dance Portal, you must arrive by 7:15pm at the latest. Doors open at 6PM to spaciously settle in. The journey begins at 7:15PM sharp and ends at 9:30PM. The Sacred Fire will go from 9:30pm to 11pm.

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?
For the cacao ceremony, there are cushions there if needed. If you do not sit on the floor, we recommend bringing a chair. We also recommend you bring water.

What will we be doing?
We will begin with remembrance in a cacao ceremony, then move into embodiment with a dance journey, then end with a warm embrace of the shifts that happened during the experience with a sacred fire.

Can I bring my kiddos?
Absolutely. Kids come free. And there is a free kids play space during the cacao ceremony and the dance (7pm to 9:30pm). We ask that if your child is not able to honor the silence in the cacao ceremony, honor people’s personal space on the dance floor, or engage fully in the experience, please bring them to the kids space for the duration of those parts of the journey.

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 $12 a bowl. Please go to the bar and ask for more details.

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.

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.

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

- Greater alignment to your purpose and increased positive abundance

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.

Pricing: $22

Under the magic of the New Moon, we gather to move through mystery, renewal, and deep connection. DJ Kiger returns to weave a powerful sonic journey, guiding us through waves of introspection, release, and ecstatic expansion. Expect an electrifying mix of house, indie, and synthpop, all crafted to take you deep into the dance.

This is a night to shed the old, embrace the unknown, and move freely in the darkness, trusting the rhythm to lead the way. Let playfulness, presence, and authenticity flow through every step as we welcome the fresh beginnings this lunar cycle brings.

Join us for a transformative self-care experience at our upcoming Reiki Share and Sound Bath Journey. This gathering welcomes both newcomers and seasoned practitioners to explore the profound benefits of Reiki and sound healing.

We begin by releasing burdens through our Letting Go Basket, followed by the invigorating scent of orange peel aromatherapy to deepen our meditation. Each participant will receive a personal set of healing crystals to set their "I AM" intentions, guiding us into a shared session of meditation, Reiki, and sound bath healing. The sound bath will include an angel harp, crystal singing bowls, and other vibrational instruments for meditation and healing during the Reiki Share.

Meditation cushions and some chairs will be provided, but we suggest you bring your own chair or whatever you need to be comfortable for this experience.

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.

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

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.

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 signify 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.
