Dance Medicine Philly enthusiastically invites YOU, from May 10th-12th to our crowning yearly weekend festival experience.
Our campout festival is a coming together of ecstatic dance enthusiasts from around the region. Not only will we be ecstatically dancing to some of the BEST music and performers in the world, but this weekend experience will be filled with enriching workshops, precious opportunities to deepen connection with community, and the natural beauty of the Poconos mountains. The land will be pulsating during our three day expression. Everyone will be moving and grooving throughout the land, going between yoga classes, bonfires, fire spinning, amazing chill out spaces, healing modalities and so much more.
If all this appeals to you, follow the information below and get yourself a ticket. This is surely an experience that could change your life!
You never know who you might meet, or what immaculate realizations may appear for you, or what may shift in this sacred container, to create a massive break through in your life.
We invite you to enter with an expansive heart and a dream of a transformational experience.
The Dance Medicine Campout will take place at Resica Falls Boy Scout camp in the Pocono Mountains.
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.
Recisa falls is a 500 acre forested camp which we will have to ourselves throughout the weekend. We have big fields with which to play in, a flowing cold river to swim in // plunge, and an amazing waterfall on the property rushing with life.
There are heated sleeping cabins on site and plenty of areas to set up your tent.
We will dance both in the open sky and inside a beautiful large hall.
There will be options for a full meal plan and plenty of food vendors to purchase nourishing, sustaining foods and drinks.
What makes our event so special?
Our annual Campout is like a family gathering with beautiful souls you may already know and ones you might not even know you were looking for! It’s the coming together of great conscious minds who seek a life of self expression and connection.
We welcome people from everywhere (up here, down there and all the way out there) including any one who is new to ecstatic dance and new to this community. We aim to create an inclusive event with activities that foster authentic, intimate, and real connections.
You can come alone for the inner journey, prioritizing connection with self, or choose to mingle and meet your soul family. Maybe you come with a group, and welcome others along for the journey of coming Home. The campout is an immersive experience that encourages you to discover something new about yourself and about how you interact with the world.
