Dance as play provides a framework to connect to joy, pleasure and creativity to our bodies, as well as to feel how our weight grounds us to the earth. Muscle memory in expressive movements like dance provides a framework within which we can tap into the ease, creativity, and freedom that lives in our body.

​We will learn simple steps from street dance styles – particularly Waacking and House – and draw on the plant and animal allies around us to find variations on the step that feel good for our individual bodies and expressions.

​LOCATION: Prospect Park (We will meet at the Grand Army Plaza Entrance ~10 minutes before and then walk over together).

​BRING WITH YOU:

• ​Water

• ​Notebook

• ​Comfortable clothing and shoes

​HOSTED BY CY X OF PLEASURE CEREMONY:

​Cy X is a Pleasure Ceremonialist dedicated to the magnificent realms of eros where they work with the body as a tool of direct communication with the psyche.

​Using an eco-erotic framework, they ask the question: How can the erotic be the way to reclaiming our bodies, our power, and our ability to connect with ourself, each other, and the more-than-humxn world around us?

Join Cy X of Pleasure Ceremony and Stella Wanwan of WanWan Coaching for a Full Moon Money Manifestation & Sex Magic Virtual Experience on July 21st, from 3-5pm EST.

Take a moment to envision your future self. How do you imagine your life a year or even five years from now? Can you imagine yourself doing well? Can you imagine yourself living a life with profound support, met needs, and access to an abundance of resources?

Our pleasure and desires are intricately woven with our sense of security, safety, and creativity! We inherit a diverse tapestry of beliefs around money, career, sex, relationships. Some of these we inherit from family, greater communities, and society at large. Regardless of their origins, we possess the power to actively co-create future realities and transform our belief systems while working directly with the moon and our imagination, body, and mind.

For this experience you will need:

• Something to journal and take notes with (ideally pen / pencil and paper).

• Comfortable quiet space to that supports you in connecting with your internal world

• Candle (optional)

Welcome to the first eco-somatic practice of 2024!

Ecosomatics reflects on our connection to our bodies and the world around us and uses this embodied knowledge as a tool for self-resourcing, support, and strength. During times of intense upheavel, these skills are essential in being able to show up more fully to movement work, protests, and self and individual care-work.

We will practice listening with our whole body through movement, breathwork, sensory activation, meditation, and self-touch. This practice will be guided by Dandelion, who will be acting as our herbal ally for the day. There will be dandelion tea!

Open to all curious beings <3
