After producing nearly 300 ecstatic dances since 2018, it's time for me to open a new chapter in life. Building community through these events and Roots to Crown has been the most significant achievement of my life. I'm stoked that the space will continue, our community will grow, and many more events will be held in this space. This event marks the last EDSP event & last event of Roots to Crown before it becomes Sacred City ~ come, celebrate the transition with this final dance! - Seva

Internationally touring artist, performer, and speaker, J Brave’s intention is to inspire the remembrance of our divine nature.
He learned to transform his trauma into triumph, turn his mess into a message, and shift suffering into songs to heal himself and inspire the world.
His greatest gifts are to speak life into others, bring people together, and utilize his music as a means to unify and connect us all.
His live shows fuse storytelling and fierce Hip Hop lyrics, and his DJ sets offer a selection of Global Bass and World Beats intended to celebrate the power of diversity.
During his travels through Kemet he had a massive spiritual awakening, and has since been plant based for over 20 years as a part of his dedication to health and well-being.
As a former counselor for homeless and at-risk youth, he learned the importance of service during a nearly 10 year period working at five non-profit organizations.
He founded the legendary Hip Hop collective the Luminaries, curates events under the brand Benevolence, and co-created Actualize Music.
He also offers guidance to artists through the Keys Of Kreation community, and supports people to find healing through the creative process.
Beyond all of his accomplishments and titles he is most proud of being a father to his beautiful children Simunye and Numi.
“I am a vessel allowing the Universe to express through me" - J

Ecstatic Dance Guidelines
Silent Dance Floor: Please refrain from talking on the dance floor.
Shoes Off: Embrace the freedom of movement by dancing without shoes.
Substance-Free Zone: To keep this event safe and welcoming for all, please refrain from using drugs or alcohol. This is a kid-friendly environment.
Comfortable Attire: Wear clothes that allow you to move freely, like you would for yoga. Dress in a way that supports your fullest expression. No inappropriate attire to maintain a safe & welcoming atmosphere.
Scent-Free: Please avoid heavy scents or perfumes to respect everyone's sensitivity.
Practice Heart-Centered Consent
Space for Everyone: Honor each person’s need for space to dance on their own.
Connecting Mindfully: To engage with others, make eye contact and wait for a mutual 'yes'.
Solo Dancers’ Boundaries: Respect those who are dancing alone.
Gratitude Gesture: Hands in prayer signify, "I see you, and thank you for the dance (that just ended)."
Nurture Your Body: Love yourself by staying hydrated and listening to your body’s needs.
This is a sacred space for healing, connection, and expression. Let’s co-create an environment where everyone feels safe and respected. Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
