Ecstatic Dance

Ecstatic Dance is a open format where you, the dancer are encouraged to discover yourself in motion. There's a powerful place that is accessed when we drop out of the mind and into free form dance, we connect into a "no-mind" space and find ourselves being danced rather than dancing. This is a place of great liberation and peace, a place that is always there waiting for us. Ecstatic Dance at Re:Source takes place on the dance platform overlooking the lake & volcanoes, and has a top notch sound system. Three internationally recognized Ecstatic Dance DJ's (bios below) will lead daily dance journeys throughout the week.

After immersing himself in practice for several years, Sah returned to the states, dedicating his life to helping others to live in alignment and achieve their highest potential.
