This could be one of those events that will change your life.
What would it feel like to be surrounded by bubbling community, expansive nature, and celebrating your life through dance, expression and freedom?
Well we have the ticket for you!!
This May 12th-14th, join Dance Medicine Philly for a 3-day intentional gathering at Rescica Falls camp in the Pocono mountains for our third annual Dance Medicine Philly CAMPOUT!
For three days we will immerse ourselves with ecstatic dance, community building, fire spinning, delicious food, heart-opening elixirs, bonfires, epic workshops and, of course, magic. We will be bringing in some amazing deejays, workshop facilitators and musicians who will help curate this experience. But it’s the community that makes our event special. Drawing from our weekly ecstatic dances in Philadelphia, but welcoming people from all over including anybody who is new to ecstatic dance or this community, we aim to create an inclusive event with activities that foster connections. The campout is an immersive experience that encourages you to discover something new about yourself and about how you interact with the world.
The sweet spring air will be bursting with the excitement of new life and in May we will be feeling the warm sun on our skin. After winter’s hibernation, we’ve chosen an amazing location at Resica falls with real amazing waterfalls, nature and woods to nurture the full expression of ourselves. There are heated cabins for you to stay in if you choose or pitch a tent and bring a hammock to relax in.
A short two hour drive north of Philadelphia and west of New York City, we can feel safe to be ourselves and surrounded by nature’s nurturing. We invite you to celebrate together and grow in community together. This location offers nature trails, large indoor spaces, bonfire locations and expansive shaded and sunny outdoor spaces for us to dance to our hearts content.
There will also be an abundance of workshops throughout the weekend with some amazing teachers and topics including contact beyond contact, acro yoga, authentic relating, flow arts & so much more.
