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 - and 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(tm) 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 Antara, creator of Kundalini Dance and I am now a certified Kundalini Dance Facilitor.

I have been facilitating Transformational Ecstatic Dance workshops and classes since 1998. Currently I have been traveling around BC and the west coast facilitating transformation dance workshops and classes at festivals and gatherings such as the Oracle Gatherings, Invision , Shambhala, Dancing Dragons Festival, Earthdance, Diversity, and many more.

I also hold weekly classes of Kundalini Dance in Vancouver and on the Sunshine Coast - and have led weekend workshops in Calgary, Portland, Edmonton, Vancouver and Los Angeles.

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.

Paola

Paola started her journey with electronic music when she was 15 years old and decided she had to learn how to spin. In 1996 (a year later) she met Jerga, who finally gave her the tools to start DJing. He also introduced her to sacred geometry and and connected her to the moontribe collective in Los Angeles, which became a great source of inspiration. She eventually had the honor of meeting Luna who connected her with the idea of using dance as a road to ecstacy and gave her a new perspective on the different rythms that awaken different emotions and parts of ourselves. She is now devoted to kundalini dance and is very excited to perform the music necessary to travel through the chackras and un leash the dancer spirit in all of us.

"Your class was a vital and essential part of my recent spiritual awakening. It was a beautiful and vibrant way to connect the inner worlds I had seen only in quiet meditation to the outer worlds of form, expression, and body. Having taken that journey with you, I am more aware of the spiritual electricity in my life, more grounded in the moment and in the body, and more at peace with my essential self. All of life now seems an extension of the dance. "
