Ecstatic Dance Philly

The best way to combat darkness is to bring in more LOVE. We had such a beautiful day @ecstaticdancephilly I always bring @rawmonje blends to share to keep us nourished + loved. We enjoyed this one: 💗🌹💗 Blooming Heart Smoothie 💗🌹💗 2 c Mylk of choice + water as needed, 1/2 c beet powder, handful of rose petals, 1 tsp camu camu, 1 Tbsp baobab, 1/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt, 1 c frozen passion fruit cubes @pitayafoods , 1 tsp rosella powder (aka Hibiscus), 4 medjool dates (pitted), 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp vanilla powder Blend it up in a high speed blender. I love and worship my @vitamix Play music, sing, dance + intentionally infuse it with love as you blend. ✨Please be sure to use organic, food-grade rose petals. I use dried.✨ Tag me + let me know if you make it! Feel free to leave out or sub what you need to and eyeball or adjust taste to what your body needs. The most important are the beet, rose + some kind of sweetener. Use these intentions and mantras from my @iambloominghome “Bringing in More Love” Workshop You can recite them into your drink before consuming or look at yourself in the mirror while saying them and drinking. I accept and love all people. My world is a world of love. I respect the Sacred Space between you and me. May I know love and kindness and may all others. I choose to stop apologizing for being me. I consciously release the past and live only in the present. I attract wonderful people into my life. I am grateful for love, health, abundance and happiness. I cleanse my body and home of heaviness and negativity and I welcome in love and joy. I am a container of love. My home is a container of love. I am more loving every day.

You don’t want to miss DJMK this Sunday morning 3-29-26, nor the warm up being led by Elana Stern. *** IMPORTANT NOTE*** - This is our last Sunday morning for the Winter/Spring season. We plan to be back for the Fall season. Michelle Keinan (aka DJMK) is a high-vibe, open format Ecstatic Dance DJ known for creating electrifying, soul-stirring dance floors where every body belongs.

Her intuitive, magnetic mixing weaves together global beats, joyful classics, and irresistible drops to unlock connection, release, and pure dancefloor magic. Whether playing for 50 people barefoot at a beach retreat, 7,000 Burners inside a 24-foot-tall foam-spewing robot, Michelle brings the same passion: to help people come together, shake off the world, and feel fully, joyfully alive and free again. Leading the warm-up this week is Elana Stern. With decades of practice in movement, meditation, and energy healing, Elana’s teaching bridges the physical and the spiritual. She invites you into a deeper relationship with your body, your breath, your heart, and each other—where love becomes the path home to your divine nature.

Philly! Ya’ll really showed up and showed out last Sunday @ecstaticdancephilly — it was such a joy and pleasure to reconnect with you all. A part of my soul will always live in PA and you all make it clear why. PA people are just a different breed. Kind, wild, silly, and fierce all wrapped into one. The fact my sister and my aunt were able to join too? Priceless. Look forward to seeing you all again sooner than later 💗 🎥 @findyourway_22
