Dancing with the Divine - Ecstatic Dance & Contact Improv

Step into sacred space and move in communion with the divine. Guided by the sonic alchemy of DJ Rasa LaVee, this journey begins in stillness—inviting presence, breath, and gentle unfolding. As rhythms rise, we awaken into the mystery, dancing between worlds, weaving movement into prayer, and joy into liberation.

This experience was born from a spark—Rasa’s own awakened connection to the Divine during a Seekers of the Eternal Satsang meditation, a weekly gathering held Wednesdays from 8–9:30pm at Roots.

About DJ Rasa LaVee:

Catherine Dana Costa, known artistically as Rasa LaVee, is a devoted curator of sound and soul. A poet, singer, and improvisational performer, her work bridges the mystical and the musical. She plays guitar, percussion, ukulele, Native American flute, and is currently exploring the hurdy-gurdy.

Rasa is the founder of The Redtailed Experience, a global world music collaboration, and a founding member of the local Kirtan ensemble Bhaav. Her sets are living rituals—infused with devotion, creativity, and a deep longing for unity.

“Dance is the Juice of Life, bringing us closer to the Divine.” — Rasa LaVee

Ecstatic Dance Guidelines

----------------------------------------

Respect the Space:

No shoes, food, drinks, or candles on the dance floor.

Clean up after yourself. Props, cushions, and mats are welcome but must be returned after use.

Bathrooms and water fountain are available for your convenience.

Respect Each Other:

No talking, videos, or phones on the dance floor.

This is a sober space: no drugs or alcohol.

Practice heart-centered, non-verbal consent: make eye contact and wait for a mutual 'yes.'

Hands in prayer communicates a 'no, thank you' or signifies gratitude for a dance just shared.

Respect Yourself:

Wear comfortable attire that allows free movement and expression.

Be mindful of scents; avoid strong perfumes.

Notice judgments of yourself or others, and let them pass.

Hydrate and listen to your body’s needs.

Embrace the Experience:

You are a sovereign being. Engage in the dance in any way your body calls—stillness is also dancing.

While there are attractions outside the dance space, the magic of ecstatic dance is in our shared movement.

Join us for the closing circle to complete the journey together.

This is a sacred space for healing, connection, and expression. Let’s co-create a safe and respectful environment for all.
