About Sacred Dance

Sacred Dance is an uplifting dance & rhythm ritual that ignites your spirit and empowers expression of your highest truth. Yoga, heart-opening meditations & poetry guide your journey to bliss while DJs and live musicians rock your body with enlightened grooves to make you move.

Dance and music are powerful catalysts that energize your prayers into action. Sacred Dance offers you FREEDOM to be fully yourself and to unite with a community of loving souls.  Sacred Dance travels to festivals, workshops and conscious events to share this joyful and unique experience, and Sacred Dance LIVE are monthly events held on the west side of Los Angeles.

Imagine…you enter a beautifully candle-lit space in an old church, and everyone around is so friendly and welcoming to you.  The facilitator guides a 15-minute movement meditation to get everybody grounded in their bodies and loosened up for dancing.  Then the DJ starts to play thumping music and the whole room comes alive. People are dancing in all kinds of ways – and dancing like there’s no one looking!  Pure freedom of expression, unconditional respect and support, and a deep sense of acceptance permeates the experience at Sacred Dance Live.  You are allowed to be fully yourself, whatever that means moment-to-moment.  It feels so good!  No dance ability is necessary whatsoever – let your spirit fly FREE!

 ”The interaction between dancer and musician blurs into a rush of breath as the room climbs to the peak of a ritual I treasure…it is always a sacred dance, led by the intense listening of our guide, musicians, and community of dancers.”  – Jeffrey Boynton

 

 

 

 

Sacred Dance Live was a great landing spot for me when I first moved to LA.  I didn’t know many people and felt overwhelmed

 about going out.  SDL was the one safe place where I knew there would be quality, conscious people, great music, and a beautiful journey guided by Eva and her team of incredibly talented musicians. Sacred Dance LIVE is unlike any other

ecstatic dance I have been to. It’s a wonderful place to move & shake the body, connect with others, connect with self, and connect with the Divine.   – Alexis Lovemonster

“Delight in this entire universe
As your body of bliss.”
- Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, interpreted by Lorin Roche, The Radiance Sutras

Come awaken, explore, and celebrate your sacred sexual life force in this unique and playful workshop! Open your heart and body to the bliss of divine love and engage your powerful second chakra energies. With safety, curiosity and unconditional love we will deepen contact with our sexual energy, learning how to summon, direct, and ground it in a way that empowers ourselves and others. Sacred Dance™ draws upon tantric and somatic psychology practices that cultivate trust in the intelligence of our bodies. Through ecstatic movement, breathwork, and meditation we enter the cosmic pulse of intimacy and release energetic blocks in the body-mind. The result is a joyful expansion of our capacity to love our Self, Others, and the Divine.

Some solo work, some partner work (optional)
You do not need to bring a partner, just your open heart and sense of wonder.

Testimonials for The Sacred Dance of Sexuality:

“I was completely changed and inspired during your workshop…” – Jami Rosetto

“Eva is a highly skilled facilitator. Her workshop at the Ecstatic Dance retreat at Kalani flowed so elegantly from one part to the next giving time for new internal resourcing and realizations and guided exploration. She had very insightful playful but powerfully revealing partner exercises that taught about boundaries and verbal and body communication.  Eva’s hypnotic calm voice lured me gently and skillfully into my deep inner energetic landscapes. She guided me into a new level of awareness of my body, my stories and stored emotions as well as provided me with new skills to move through the experience. I learned new ways to use my breath and my attention to unlock and discover a simple tool to give myself more loving. Her playlist was my favorite- it weaved the whole transformative experience together. ”  - Ilya Jacobson

“I felt major shifts in my body, mind and spirit during the Sacred Dance of Sexuality workshop.  There was quite a diversity of offerings during the 2 hour session. Afterwards, I felt empowered, liberated and like I have some new tools to use on my own! It was a deeply healing and fun experience. Thank you, Eva!”  - Betsy Finkelhoo
