What you can expect at a Dance Coven Gathering
First, you will be greeted with the utmost respect, as Dance Coven is open to everyone regardless of nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious beliefs, marital status, family structure, age, political perspective, or education level.
We value a safe container for the community to gather. Dance Coven is a safe place for you to be who you are, naturally and uninhibited. It is safe for you to be you. Magick happens when you are witnessed as your true authentic self and when you witness the authentic selves of others.
We begin by checking in and introducing ourselves. Then we create a sacred container. We do this by calling in the four directions and corresponding elements at every Dance Coven. By acknowledging the sacred elements of Mother Earth, we align ourselves with the natural world, which is our birthright.
As the music begins, you are led on a guided meditation to connect with your inner self, the community and the Divine. During the movement piece, we plug into the Divine and let go of what no longer serves us. Freely express your body, mind and soul as the music moves you. Plug in and receive nourishment & guidance from the Divine.
Playlists are around one hour long. They begin slowly, build up in tempo and then naturally slow down towards the end. Let the music take you on a magickal journey. Once the Playlist is complete, we reconnect to our physical body through breath and stillness, and gather for our closing circle. Respectful communication, including honoring confidentiality is asked of all participants.
At Dance Coven, you can either experience Community Dance Coven or Ritual Dance Coven. The structure is similar but differs in a couple of ways.
