Join us for an energising and heart-opening Queer Ecstatic Dance session designed specifically for queer migrants and queer people of colour! Led by the amazing Dirish Shaktidas 🌿 - a renowned expert in ecstatic dance and yoga, and author of Chakrasize Your Life - this event will offer a safe, non-verbal, substance-free space for authentic self-expression and connection.
What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic dance is a free-form movement practice that helps you step out of your head, away from overthinking, and into your body. It’s a powerful way to ground yourself, release tension, and get deeply in touch with your emotions - all through the rhythm and flow of your own movement. With no judgment and no need for words, it creates an environment where you can express yourself freely and connect with others in a meaningful way. 🧘🏽♂️💫

About our FREE events
💜 Our events are free to ensure they remain accessible to our communities. However, organizing them comes with costs. If you'd like to support our work, please consider donating via this link.
💜 To make sure as many people as possible can attend, we ask that you cancel your ticket if you can no longer make it. Failing to show up without prior cancellation takes a spot from someone else and wastes resources, including food and venue costs. We track attendance, and individuals who miss three events without cancelling will be unable to register for our future events. Please be considerate and let us know if you can’t attend.
💜 To ensure a smooth and respectful experience for everyone, please arrive on time. Our events are not drop-in sessions, meaning attendees must arrive at the start time and stay for the duration. We allow a 10-minute grace period for late arrivals - after that, entry will not be permitted as it can be disruptive to the group. Additionally, the entrance is not monitored after the grace period, so there will be no one available to let latecomers in. The event hours are clearly stated in the description, so please plan accordingly. Thank you for understanding and helping us create a welcoming space for all!
💜 Alongside this, we appreciate it if you could respond to any communication by the given response deadline so we can make the necessary arrangements for the event.
💜 By signing up to this event, you accept being added to The Love Tank’s newsletter. You can opt out at any time.
