Thank you! NO WALK-INS ALLOWED. We look forward to seeing you at a future dance.

February 2 is both Imbolc and the feast of the powerful saint and Goddess, Brigid of Ireland. In this Imbolc Ceremony, we dance in the triple fire of Brigid to ignite the seeds germinating in the winter soils within us.  Imbolc marks the way we just baby begin to step into springtime.  In this turning of the wheel of time, we feel the first glimmers of sunlight piercing the darkness.  The ground of our life begins to thaw.  We feel the beat of the drum of our heart calling what lies dormant within into new life.  We’ll dance with the companionship and guidance of the Saint & Goddess Brigid of Kildare and her triple fire of hearth, forge and temple.  We honor within the fires of home and heart; strength and stance; and all that is sacred.  We let our wisdom bodies lead the way and the dance bring us home. 

What’s Evolve Ecstatic Dance?

Evolve Ecstatic Dance is 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!

Hi! I’m Erin. I’m so glad you’re hearing the call to dance!

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.
