Join us on the dance floor this coming Wednesday July 9th

We’ll start with a DanceLab workshop w/ Roxanna Gates (https://www.roxannagates.com/) In the realm of conscious dance practices, DanceLab is a somatic experience that encourages a dancing awareness of body senses, creative expression, and relational transactions to amplify our aliveness in this practice called life. The choreography is freely formed through improvisational shapes and human gestures. Driven by mystery, wonder, beauty, and the natural world, Roxanna has spent the last two decades exploring the therapeutic notion of dance. Her purpose is firmly rooted in personal agency, creativity, and enchantment in the mundane. Roxanna is a dance practitioner and a Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD, OTR/L).

We will then move into an ecstatic dance set from Soul Seed (@soulseedmusiclove) (https://on.soundcloud.com/8meV5ZK1c9hXB1qQIv) Soul Seed is a genre-blending DJ and producer whose music is rooted in the healing power of sound. With a background in dance and a lifelong connection to festival culture, her sets are carefully curated journeys that invite deep embodiment, soul-level connection, and ecstatic movement. Based in Grass Valley, CA, Soul Seed channels influences from across the globe—blending drippy, sexy bass, downtempo, RnB, conscious hip hop, electronic, world fusion, afrobeats, jungle, breaks, and even touches of folk. The result is an alchemical sound that pulses with juicy basslines, goddess whomps, and sacred rhythms of the Earth.

The evening will close with a sound healing from Kendra Elyse (@kendra_elyse___). Kendra Elyse is a voice channel, sonic alchemist, and embodiment guide. She creates meditative soundscapes with breath, chant, and soul-led vocals to help you come back to your body, your truth, and your divine feminine power. I blend mantra, light language, and melody to support rest, emotional release, and sacred connection.
