Adana Ecstatic Dance - Manly (Formerly Epicure)

A new name, a fresh chapter, and the same beautiful community! We're excited to continue bringing you the ecstatic dances and meaningful experiences you know and love. Join us for our final dance of the year as we celebrate connection, movement and community. We can't wait to dance with you! ❤️ Welcome to a new era of ecstatic dance — where freedom, connection, and celebration meet deep nourishment and healing. A party that’s just as full-power and alive as it is intentional, grounding, and transformative. Ecstatic dance is more than a night out on the dancefloor. It’s an invitation to return to your true self — to release, express, and rediscover freedom through movement, music, and presence. Rooted in ancient tribal rituals and practiced across cultures for thousands of years, this is a living meditation in motion. Join the tribe. Feel the rhythm. Remember who you are. ✨ Arrive for 5:30 PM to meet your tribe, enjoy your drink & elixirs fully, and let the medicine work before the journey unfolds. Once the dance begins, the body takes over. ✨ What to Expect • Ecstatic Dance — facilitator TBC - 90 minutes of pure movement • Live Drumming - facilitator TBC • Sound Journey - facilitator TBC • Mocktail, Cacao & Elixir Bar — Handcrafted alcohol-free signature drinks with mood-lifting elixirs.
