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.
