Energy In Motion: An Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Journey
Welcome to Energy In Motion, a transformational event where ecstatic dance, cacao, and emotional release come together to create an unforgettable experience. This is more than an event; it's a journey of self-discovery and expression, offering a blend of personal growth, community connection, and joyful celebration.
Emotion is energy in motion, and this experience is designed to support emotional processing with an undercurrent of bliss. It's about inner exploration and embodied expression, all within a vibrant, party-like atmosphere. Personal development can be fun, and we're here to prove it.
June Event: Third Eye Chakra (Light)
This June at Energy In Motion, we are activating our third eye chakra - tuning into our inner vision, enhancing our intuition, and opening up to more light.
The third eye chakra, also known as the Ajna, is said to be the "seat of the soul" and a gateway to higher consciousness. It is our center of perception and is associated with the element of light.
Throughout the evening, we’ll deepen our relationship with the third eye chakra, opening to clarity, spiritual insight, and deeper understanding.
Join us for an evening of intuitive movement, deep connection, and powerful activations.
This event is an opportunity to dance, and an invitation to transform through beauty, play, and the pleasure of being fully present in your body.
Experience Highlights
Ecstatic Dance: A space for free expression. Let go of inhibition and move to the rhythm. No dance experience needed, just an open heart.
Cacao Ceremony: Connect with this heart-opening plant medicine, traditionally known as "food of the Gods." The ceremony invites emotional clarity and deeper connection to self while fueling your desire to dance.
Chakra Exploration: Each event focuses on one of the seven chakras. From the root to the crown, we journey through these energetic centers, integrating their wisdom and embracing their power.

About your host: Shahna Sarpi - @shahnasarpi
It was love at first dance, when Shahna stepped onto an ecstatic dance dance-floor. She saw the immense power in embodied movement and authentic expression, coming home to hear body and her self and feeling the liberation that comes from allowing the energy to move through her. Since that time, she has interwoven these lessons and practices into what she does personally, but also professionally.
Shahna works with the body and nervous system to people out of survival mode, into a state of thriving on every level. Taking people from stressed, suppressed and exhausted… to healthy, free and radiant.
Having seen the immense power in somatic tools, emotional health and authentic expression from personal experience, Shahna now guides people home to their most empowered selves, through the body.

Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.
