LUNA RAVENCHILDE
I have been dancing ever since I can remember…that was my joy…that was my passion. And to this day the dance is what brings me back to my essential self, to my ecstasy!
I have been studying ecstatic dance since 1998, when I was given the book, Sweat Your Prayers by Gabrielle Roth. I had just finished my training as a modern dancer at Main Dance (Vancouver, BC) – it was a time of both physical and spiritual illness for me -a true healing crisis. The words of this dance shaman reminded me of my true purpose. It has been a healing journey since then, and I have studyed the 5 Rhythms™ in Vancouver with Jonathan Horan and Lucia Rose Horan, with Kathy Altman in Mill Valley at the Moving Center School, and in Nelson with Maryanne Wood. In May 2005 I traveled to Australia to study with Leyolah Antara Dekanic, creator of Kundalini Dance™ and I am now a senior licensed Kundalini Dance Facilitor, and assistant Facilitator Trainer.
I have been facilitating Transformational Ecstatic Dance workshops and classes since 1998.
Originally I travelled around BC and the west coast facilitating transformational dance workshops and classes at festivals and gatherings such as the Oracle Gatherings, Invision , Shambhala, Dancing Dragons Festival, Earthdance, Diversity, and many more.
Currently I am holding weekly classes in Edmonton, AB in Kundalini Dance – and a brand new beginner level Ecstatic Dance class called PUR-Ekstasis, which was co-created with Linda Crawford. I also travel around North America facilitating weekend workshops in Kundalini Dance.
It is my passion to awaken the priest or priestess of ecstasy within everyone I meet!!
I would love to hear from you so please contact me if you have any questions or comments, or are interested in booking an Ekstasis Workshop in your area.
