She also facilitates a monthly ecstatic dance journey called the Voyager Sessions that she'll be sharing at this event. She DJs and guides participants through a somatic ecstatic healing experience based around creativity, fun, and exploration. She wants to invite everyone to give it a try, as this is not about "knowing steps" or "having moves", but rather connecting to your body and leave your mind open to play, explore, and "journey" through life and the experience. No dance experience is necessary, in this freeform movement modality.
