A one day open heart gathering in Columbus, Ohio. Let’s move, dance, learn, grow, and connect!
Ecstatic Dance Columbus is happy to present Movement Medicine: a gathering and celebration of movement, mindfulness, and connection! This one day festival will be hosting a variety of activities geared towards healing through movement: ecstatic dances, yoga, sound healing, acro yoga, contact improv, consent workshops, a cacao ceremony and other activities.
Our ecstatic dances will transport you to a world of rhythm and movement. You can join our accomplished DJs as they guide you through dynamic and free-flowing sequences that will get your energy flowing and your body moving.
We are proud to announce that Equanimous will be joining us. He is a music producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist who gathers elements from the world around him to create a sound that defies genres, pushes boundaries, and can only be described as a journey. He is known for his deep bass, beautiful melodies, live looping, and creative rhythmic beats that take people into a state of euphoric dancing and heart-centered bliss.
Ecstatic dances will also be guided by DJ Dark Cherub and a back to back set played by our resident DJs in Columbus, DJ Onetree and DJ Kofdrop.
The yoga classes offered throughout the event are designed to help you unwind, relax, and find balance. There will also be acro yoga available to experience. All levels are welcome!
In addition to our movement-based classes, there will be sound healing that will help you connect with the healing power of sound. Our facilitators will use various instruments to create a nurturing and soothing atmosphere that will promote a sense of calm, connection and wellbeing.
We also offer educational classes and workshops where you can learn about topics such as consent and contact improvisation. Our speakers and presenters will share their knowledge and experience with you, providing you with tools to use in your everyday life.
