Ecstatic Dance in the Woods: A Silent Disco Experience with James Patrick
Facilitated by Kiley Dare

Ecstatic Dance is a timeless form of expression, a way to free your body and let the rhythm guide you. It invites you to be fully present, to explore movement without judgment, and to connect more deeply with your body, mind, and spirit. This practice can bring meditative, even trance-like states, as well as moments of release, joy, and emotional clarity.

Sobriety is strongly encouraged to support a clear and connected experience, but we trust everyone to make choices that align with the spirit of the event.

What to Expect:

The Registration Table will be opened at 4:30, where the headphones will be distributed.
Opening Community Circle: Kiley Dare will guide us through the opening circle, creating a welcoming and grounded space for everyone to arrive fully. She’ll share a few basic guidelines to support safety, consent, and freedom of expression throughout the dance. To help us drop into our bodies and connect with one another, Kiley will also lead the group through gentle movement patterns and vocalizations—simple, playful practices that awaken our senses and set the tone for authentic, embodied connection.
Ecstatic Dance with James Patrick: Put on your headphones and move to the electrifying sounds of Baltimore's own James Patrick for 90 minutes.
Closing Circle: Reconnect and reflect as we close out the evening together.
