Generations of our ancestors danced on Beltane, the mid-point between spring equinox and summer solstice. They danced to give thanks for the fullness of spring; to celebrate the beauty bursting forth everywhere; to pray into the expansion of aliveness; and to honor the many facets of fertility! In remembrance of them, and for ourselves, we dance this Beltane for all these things and more. We dance to reclaim our place in the family of things, to remember that as human beings we, too, are fertile, joyful, beautiful and worthy of life! Let’s remember together, let’s celebrate this being human, let’s dance!

What’s Evolve Ecstatic Dance?

Evolve Ecstatic Dance is the form we practice at SoulDance, a style of free-form, conscious dance. This means you get to move however you want to, however the music, energy and community move you! You cannot do it wrong! You will be held in loving, accepting space, and gently guided to drop into your own body’s wisdom. The Evolve Arc follows 7 organic movements that will open you more and more into the energies in motion— Enter, Explore, Engage, Expand, Evolve, Emerge and End. When we drop into the body’s inherent wisdom and joy in motion, so much can happen! We release, we process, we have fun, we gain clarity and insight, we connect, and we heal in ways that are beyond words. No prior dance experience of any kind is needed. Your body and your soul, held in community, know the Way!

Thanks for dancing with us! I’m Erin

I’m a movement minister, midwife of the Soul and priestess of the Divine Mother Love.  My world opened expansively when I began dancing authentically over twenty years ago.  Since then, I have pursued the dance in myself and all over the world, studying with teachers of the 5 Rhythms, Dancing Freedom, Open Floor, Soul Motion, Contemplative Dance and other modalities.  Dance is by far my favorite way to pray and practice this being human.  I especially love dancing in community and cultivating community of liberated beings, dancing into joy and healing.  I’m also a spiritual innovator, doula, theAlogian and writer, exploring all the ways the Divine Feminine is coming into being in new ways now, in our time.
