Mose

Fluidity Ashland Ecstatic Dance, in partnership with Reciprocity music, is thrilled to bring Mose and the Cacao Dance experience to Southern Oregon! Welcome to the transformative realm of Cacao Dance - led by Mose. As you step onto the dance floor, embrace the intentional container that encourages silence, creating a sacred space for a deep and immersive journey. The ceremony preceding the dance is led by the beautiful Bruna Bortolato alongside Mose, invoking intention, gratitude, and prayer. This ceremonial prelude lays the groundwork for a profound and spiritually charged dance experience, featuring internationally renowned vocalist Franko Heke. Cacao Dance is more than just movement; it's a conscious exploration to connect with oneself and community. The dance unfolds with a deliberate arc, starting slow and spacious, allowing participants to attune to the music and let their bodies intuitively guide their movements. The overarching goal is to transcend the mental chatter, diving deep into the heart, embodying the emotions alive in the present moment. The dance reaches a climactic peak, pulsating with full-power energy before gracefully winding down to a slower, softer pace for integration. This alcohol-free container draws inspiration from ancient shamanic practices of entering trance, offering a space for profound insight and personal evolution. The intention is clear: to foster a connection with oneself, community, nature, and spirit in support of the greater collective evolution. As you immerse yourself in the rhythms and energies of Cacao Dance, anticipate not only a dance but a transformative experience, leaving you with insights to integrate into your life's journey. Gongfu Tea service will be provided throughout the night for those who like to sit, relax and/or energize with some top quality teas, pu'er, herbal, etc. Join us to integrate afterwards in the healing fluidity of the hot mineral waters, steam room, sauna, and olympic pool of the Jackson Wellsprings. (This is an add-on choice when purchasing your ticket - so be sure to choose Dance & Soak if you want to enjoy the late-night soaking experience.) This is a highlight of our ecstatic dance, and an amazing way to integrate together in community after a long night of dancing. It's our own private late-night soak! *If you don’t purchase upon dance entry (for the discounted price) you may later decide to purchase a soak ticket at the Soak door for $15. There will be no refunds issued for this. Our late-night soak is a clothing-optional experience. Be sure to bring your own towel and (non-glass) water bottle to stay hydrated.* SCHEDULE 6:00PM - Doors 6:30PM - Franko Heke 7:00PM - Cacao Ceremony w/ Bruna Bortolato & Mose 7:30 - 10:00PM - Mose ft.
