Fall Equinox Cacao Ceremony & Ecstatic Dance at The Armory

  • The District 11 South 10th Street Columbia, MO, 65201 United States (map)

Join us as we honor the Fall Equinox with a sacred cacao ceremony followed by an hour-long ecstatic dance experience. Fall represents the harvest, a time to acknowledge growth and expansion as part of our natural evolution. Together, we’ll celebrate the fullness of life, connect with like-minded souls, and open our hearts and minds to joy and healing energy.

 

CACAO CEREMONY

 

Our evening begins with a ceremonial-grade cacao offering, rooted in the sacred traditions of Mesoamerican cultures. For centuries, cacao has been cherished as a heart-opening elixir, used to connect with the divine and nurture a sense of community. Honoring these ancient practices, we come together in gratitude to share this sacred beverage, setting our intentions and aligning with the transformative energies of the equinox.

 

ECSTATIC DANCE

 

Following the cacao ceremony, we’ll warm up with breath and movement practices before we transition into a vibrant ecstatic dance session. Ecstatic dance is a freeing journey of movement where the body takes over, allowing us to break free from the mind and fully embody the moment. Each instinctive motion deepens our connection to ourselves, transforming dance into an experience of pure presence and vitality.

 

Let the music guide you as you move without inhibition, allowing yourself to be led on a journey of self-expression and liberation. Whether you’re an experienced dancer or simply exploring new ways to connect with your body, our dance floor is a welcoming and judgment-free space for all.
