✨️We’re back for our second installment, holding down the fort while @ecstaticdancephilly is on hiatus! Join us Sun May 3, 2026 | 11:30am – 2:30pm 💜Sunday Morning Ecstatic Dance is a freeform movement journey held in a safe and sacred container. A space to be fully yourself, and also connected to something greater. ✨️LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE – capped at 25 attendees. A snuggy sweet space @cocoon_philly 🔥Warmup Leader: Simcha Rachel Guttenplan @mysticsimcha Is a Whollyculturist, healing artist, ceremonialist, oracle, and sacred sounder weaving somatic, spiritual, and creative practices into transformational space. ❤️‍🔥For this “Ashes and Embers” journey, she guides us through Kundalini-inspired movement, breath, meditation, and embodied ritual—tending the threshold between what has burned away and what is ready to rise. She prepares the body for the dance, then weaves live with DJ LightRay, layering voice and sacred sound into the set. 🎧 DJ: LightRay Beats @lightray_beats Drummer | DJ | Percussionist LightRay blends Afro House, Tribal Bass, and sacred rhythms into immersive dancefloor journeys. With roots in live electronica, jam, and funk scenes—including touring North America with Signal Path—he brings deep improvisational energy to every set. Often fusing live percussion with DJing, he creates a grounded yet expansive experience. ⚡️Music is Healing. Beats are Bliss. ✨Organizers: Boombox Ben @boomboxben.dj + Veronica Carpenter @blissfulbutterflyyoga are holding down the fort together to keep Sunday dances alive in Philly during the next few months. These practices have given them both so much, this is their way of giving it back to the community. 💜Family friendly, all ages welcome! Space ruled by loving-kindness, compassion, consent and respect. Anything other than that will not be tolerated. ✨️Dance with us on Sunday mornings in gratitude for being alive. Sunday has long been seen as a day to celebrate the Divine! We tap into that in a non-dogmatic way. A space for unity, community & connection to something larger than ourselves. 🎟🔗in bio @blissfulbutterflyyoga #ecstaticdancephilly #Ecs

So grateful to be living this life and dream at the same time. If there’s something you’ve been thinking about doing, now is the time to do it. Don’t wait till tomorrow. Even if it’s just one small step toward your goal, take it. Don’t fake it. You will make it. I’m booking my spring and summer schedule right now, so let me know in the comments where you’d like to see LightRay shine. #dj #dance #followyourheart
