Ecstatic Dance Hosted by The Seed PNW

Ecstatic Dance Facilitated by Amanda Marie.

Join us for a transformative experience at Peninsular Roundhouse, a new performing arts center in downtown Shelton. Held every 2nd Friday of the month from 4:30-6:00 pm with doors opening at 4:15 pm.

What is Ecstatic Dance?

Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement experience that invites you to express yourself fully through rhythm and sound. There are no choreography, no steps to follow, and no judgments—just the freedom to move however your body feels called.

Rooted in ancient ritual and modern somatic practices, ecstatic dance helps us reconnect to our natural rhythm, release stagnant energy, and awaken joy and vitality. The music journey—carefully curated by The Seed PNW—guides you through waves of sound designed to awaken every cell in your body, open the heart, and deepen your connection to self and community.

The Science Behind It

Movement and music together activate the body’s endocannabinoid and dopamine systems, helping regulate mood and reduce stress. Dancing freely supports nervous system regulation, emotional release, and enhanced brain–body communication. Studies show that community dance experiences increase feelings of connection, empathy, and belonging, improving overall well-being and resilience.

Community Guidelines & Boundaries

To maintain a sacred, safe, and inclusive space for all participants, we honor these simple agreements:

1. No talking on the dance floor – communicate through movement and expression.
2. Respect yourself and others’ space – consent is essential; no unwanted touch.
3. Dance barefoot if possible – to ground your energy and connect with the earth.
4. Substance-free zone – we celebrate sobriety, presence, and authentic connection.
5. Phones away – immerse in the experience, free from digital distractions.
6. Honor your body – move at your own pace; rest when you need to.

Why Community Matters

The Seed PNW is building a conscious, sober, and creative community rooted in wellness, connection, and self-expression. Ecstatic Dance is one of the many ways we come together to nurture collective healing, celebrate life, and support each other’s growth.

As our Shelton Ecstatic Dance community grows, we’ll welcome live musicians, DJs, and performers to co-create the experience.
