Saturday Pre Dance Activities - Resonance and Return: An exploration on Sound and Movement
The Offering
Before we dance, we align. This gathering is an intentional communication between the internal and external using sound and somatic movement designed to clear the transmission and center the body.
Through the resonant of sound bowls, the steady grounding of the drum, the expanse of the gong, and the vocal focus of direct chanting, we will create a collective of clear intent.
Your Facilitator: Justin
I am a seeker committed to the reality of internal alignment and simple presence. My role is not to lecture or perform, but to serve as a steady channel—holding a space that allows for relationship between self and all.
The Modality of Participation
There is no singular blueprint for how to meet this space. You are invited to engage through whichever modality matches your immediate alignment:
Intonation & Play: Bring your voice or your own instruments to join the collective tapestry of sound.
Intentional Movement: Allow the somatic frequencies to dictate deliberate, conscious motion through the space.
Still Meditation: Rest silently within the resonance, allowing the sound to dissolve internal narratives and bring the psyche to center.
When: Next Saturday, directly preceding Kelly’s Ecstatic Dance.
Exchange: all attendees, including myself, commit to performing a good deed where it is needed and without personal recognition.
This is an exercise in sacred trade—an offering of mutual support and shared presence.
The Flow: This session acts as the foundational root and centering breath that leads seamlessly into the uninhibited somatic release of the evening's Ecstatic Dance. Come to ground, stay to fly.
