Come fuel your flame! 🔥⁣

Join us this week for a special ecstatic dance! With the theme being “internal flame” everyone is encouraged to tune into what ignites them and to collectively tune into our primal and tribal nature. ⁣

Drums are encouraged in the space if anyone is feeling called to more rhythmic interaction.⁣

Together we will co-create another magical container of medicinal dance, and healing movement. Think organic and earthy with rooted mantra and feel-good vocals. ⁣

This week we have one of our resident DJs and organizers Bretton a.k.a. Soular Sound. This will be his last ecstatic dance set of 2025. He’s excited to share a specially curated, organic, tribal, and earthy rhythmic experience with you all.⁣

Joining him will be Mitchell Steinke, Mitchell is a world traveler and Certified Advanced Sound Healer. He has a passion for making the world a more peaceful place and the ability to bring harmony to your day. Because everything in our world is a vibration, sound healing recalibrates the vibrations of our daily lives and removes ‘dis-ease’, by bathing you in frequencies aligned to the 7 Chakras. This is a rare opportunity to participate in a sound journey that Mitchell learned directly from the Tibetan master in Nepal, with some Indian musical magic. He will also be jamming throughout the weekend.⁣

During this time of increasing darkness and temperatures decreasing, it’s so helpful to tap into this element of fire together in community. Bringing our warmth and light from within. Come join us in a practice that our ancestors did and keep fueling your inner flame. 🔥⁣

Ecstatic Dance & Sound Journey — “Ancestral Light” with DJ Miss Pidgeon
Wednesday, October 30 | Dance Temple Squamish
Join us for an evening of movement, music, and magic as the veil thins on Samhain eve. ✨If you feel like dressing up in costume, all is welcome.
This is Ashleigh’s first ecstatic dance set, a journey that has evolved throughout the year with sound calling Ashleigh deeper into her inner world, her voice, her heart, and her inner knowing.
She’ll guide a 90-minute dance journey through the sacred balance of dark and light, weaving tribal rhythms, celestial soundscapes, and heart-opening beats that invite our healed ancestors to dance through us.
We’ll begin in circle, grounding in with breath and intention, then open into freeform dance — a space to let the music move through you, however your body desires. Dance is medicine: a remembering, a release, and a celebration.
To close, we’ll drop into a beautiful live sound journey with Matthew and Ivy, transmuting the energy of the dance and leaving you in a blissed-out, peaceful state.
Come as you are, feel what’s alive in you, and move what needs to move.
🕯️ The dance begins.
