πŸŒ€LUCID GATE - ECSTATIC DANCE

A Lucid Gate gathering

Lucid Gate is the portal to yourself. We use sound, breath, movement and depth work to take you there. Tonight is one part of that β€” an ecstatic dance journey, held with real awareness of what's unfolding underneath you as you move.

No experience necessary. No dress code. All you need is a body, curiosity, and the desire to connect with yourself and others.

This is ecstatic dance with one addition: Rachel opens with a grounded attunement into the body, the subtle layers beneath it, and your own presence β€” before Yurai opens the dancefloor as sacred space, weaving sound and energy to guide the room into freeform movement. Where most ecstatic dance starts on the floor, this one starts in the body, so what unfolds in movement has somewhere real to come from.

We dance without talking, phones, or substances. The floor holds full presence β€” nothing to watch, nothing to prove.

What to expect

Guided Drop-In and integration with Rachel β€” a grounded return to breath, body and presence before the dance begins

Ecstatic Dance with DJ Yurai β€” 90 minutes of a live, mixed and curated set fusing tribal beats with the uplifting pace of psy trance

Live Drumming with Shigadi β€” drum is a heartbeat of the dance and we will use it to bring the whole experience to life

Integration & Stillness β€” a slow close to land back in the body. Bring a yoga mat, blanket or cushion to get cozy for this part

THE FLOW

18:00–18:15 – Doors open, settle in

18:15–18:30 – Guided drop-in: return to breath and body

Our agreements

No alcohol. No drugs. No judgement.

The dancefloor is chat-free β€” rest anytime, drink water, listen to your body.

There's nothing to get right here. Come as you are, move how you move, and see what's underneath.
