SUMMARY:MOVEMENT Ecstatic Dance SF // QUINTESSENCE
DESCRIPTION:Curating a deeply intentional\, safe sacred space to connect\, explore and celebrate – by dancing together in community\, we thrive.\n\n\n9:45am – Doors Open \n10:00am – Contact Improv Class: SHANNON SAHAJA \n10:45am – Opening Circle & Meditation: SHANNON \n11:00am – Ecstatic Dance – QUINTESSENCE \n1:00pm – Sound Bath / Closing Meditation: SHANNON \n1:11pm – All Blessings! \n \nImportant Notes: \n⌯ Events start promptly\, Join us for the full experience! \n⌯ All events are alcohol and substance free \n⌯ Bring your own water \n⌯ Shoes off at the door\, and no conversation on the dance floor once we begin \n⌯ Come with an open heart – ready to listen\, move & receive \n \nMOVEMENT is dedicated to nourishing a culture of creative expression through music & movement that honors the sacred.

In addition to being a lead DJ and organizer of the “Ecstaturday” Ecstatic Dance in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park\, she is also a resident DJ in partnership with The Omni Movement\, a progressive partner dance studio located in Oakland. You’ll most commonly find her playing for Fusion Dance\, Brazilian Zouk\, or West Coast Swing around the Bay Area\, though she also holds passion for her unique take on club-style EDM. As a highly multidisciplinary DJ and music producer\, she brings lessons and influences from each of the music scenes she’s involved with into all of the others\, giving her a unique perspective that allows her to hybridize the elements that work from the different scenes and let them inform each other.Quintessence is a master of the intentional dance journey. She begins with tempos and rhythms designed to warm the body up while the melodic content creates emotional depth and intrigue that set the stage for what’s to come. Each stage successively builds on what we’ve experienced in the last\, taking us somewhere new that still feels part of the same story. The crescendos and climaxes interplay with periods of moderate rest and reflection to create a series of waves through various energies and moods. Finally\, we come to the sentimental landing and closing stages where we can integrate what we’ve experienced as the journey nears its end\, perhaps indulging in one final burst of joy or artistic expression before sending us off to what’s next.As a dancer herself whose life has been transformed by the practice\, Quintessence always plays for the party she wants to be at. Her work often defies genre\, weaving through a great many of them throughout the journey in delightfully surprising ways. As she’s a multidisciplinarian with extremely broad taste\, you’ll never get the same experience with DJ Quintessence twice. She’ll make you move\, make you melt\, take you to places beyond words\, and leave you wanting more.DJ Quintessence can be found on Instagram\, SoundCloud\, Spotify\, and all other major music platforms. \n \nSHANNON SAHAJA // Contact Improv Class\nShannon Sahaja is an embodiment alchemist who feels most at home in the woods\, on a dance floor\, in warm water or engaged in silly shenanigans. She holds a BFA in Dance from S.U.N.Y Purchase\, and has 2 decades of experience as a movement facilitator. She is well known for her loving approach to yoga that was developed while living and teaching at Harbin Hot Springs and through her mentorship with Angela Farmer. \nShannon enjoyed being the manager and sacred space holder for Ecstatic Dance Oakland from 2017-2024. She has studied extensively with many of the early pioneers of Contact Improvisation and loves articulating the mechanics of weight sharing for those unfamiliar with the form. She brings delight to the space with her unique ability to create safety while spicing things up with humor and spontaneity. Shannon has a presence that guides those in her field to come home to their essential self through play and spontaneity as well as attunement and depth. \nwww.shannonsahaja.com \n \nA Consensual Environment \n*** As we come together in sacred movement practice\, let us remember to embody the values of consent and mindfulness.
