Grief Dance - Equinox Edition - Berkeley

We are in times of intense grief - on an ecological, collective, and personal level. The Grief Dance is where we can bring that heaviness and dance with it through ritual, movement, and community - as cultures around the world have for thousands of years. In this edition we work with the naturally powerful liminal portal of the equinox to shed past versions and go inwards. This is a ritual ecstatic dance where we potentiate the power of the dance by working with intention and the altar. The dance itself moves through a wave of grief, releasing places where energy is stuck and leaving you feeling more open and in deeper acceptance. All of you is welcome here - your rage, your sorrow, your denial. We don’t talk it through - we move with it. We close with space for integration. We dance with grief - transforming our relationship to it, and opening up embodied space for our own transformation and liberation. This is a ritual journey so we will close the container to new arrivals at 6:45PM. It is recommended to dress for mourning in a dark color and bring whatever objects, photos, etc. that represent your grief to put on the altar. YOUR FACILITATOR Alexandra Alden (Electric Indigo) Alexandra, artist name Electric Indigo has been on the path of grief and art as alchemy her entire life. She has undergone deep personal initiation on the path of grief and loss and received the Grief Dance as an integration of her work across ceremonial spaces, ecstatic dances, and deep inner work. It is her offering to the collective to help better relate to the shadow and in doing so live with more full spectrum aliveness. https://www.instagram.com/electricindigomusic/ https://soundcloud.com/electricindigo333 CO-HOST: If you feel called but are in financial hardship we have a limited number of first-come-first serve volunteer positions.
