When was the last time you lost track of time… in a good way? ✨

Not on your phone.
Not at a bar.
In your body.

Here's something most people don't know:
Ecstatic dance has no steps to learn. No partners required. No talking on the dance floor.

Just music, movement, and permission to be yourself.

At our last gathering, we watched it happen.
Strangers arrived quiet. A little unsure.
By the end of the night, the whole room was moving as one. 🌊

On November 15, we're doing it again.

RESONANCE ft. HABITAAT
An immersive ecstatic dance experience in Wilmington, NC 🌿

🧘 Grounding yoga to arrive
🔔 An immersive sound bath to settle in
🎶 An opening set by ARKIVEZ to get you moving
🥁 An ecstatic dance journey with HABITAAT — organic electronic music woven from nature, tribal rhythm, and deep bass

Created with @habitaatmusic @littler0se_ @tlmickel @maxwellfiddle @arkivez__ @subsurface.collective @5iproductions @radiantlightcreations @laflechafilm 🙏

💡 3 ways to get the most out of your first ecstatic dance:
1️⃣ Leave expectations at the door. There's no right way to move.
2️⃣ Put the phone away. Presence is the point.
3️⃣ Let the music lead. Slow is just as welcome as wild.

WILMINGTON. When was the last time you danced without holding back? 🔥

No pressure to look a certain way.
Just you. The music. And room to move.

At our last gathering, stillness turned into movement.
And a room full of people found a shared rhythm.

November 15, we’re doing it AGAIN.

Sometimes alignment is less about figuring life out and more about listening to what continually calls us. Quote graphic: Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. Rumi. @frontinglife by @frontinglife

You’ve got 3 hours.

A team.
A costume.
A list of challenges.

And downtown Wilmington becomes your playground. 👀

THE HUNT is back October 25 from 2–5 PM.

This isn’t your childhood scavenger hunt.

You’ll race through downtown completing ridiculous challenges, recreating scenes, finding hidden clues, taking questionable photos, and competing against other teams for bragging rights and prizes.

Expect things like:

🏴‍☠️ Pirates
🍦 Gelato challenges
👻 Haunted elevators
🎸 Air guitar
📸 Waterfront photo missions
🪙 Hidden treasure
…and plenty we’re not telling you yet.

Come dressed up.
Bring your people.
Be ready to get weird.

🏆 Awards + prizes
🎃 Costumes highly encouraged
📍 Downtown Wilmington
🗓 Sunday, October 25
⏰ 2–5 PM

Hosted by Fronting Life, @capefearrecovery and @treehouse_nc

Three organizations coming together for an afternoon built around connection, community, and a little friendly chaos.

Grab your team before THE HUNT begins.

Comment HUNT and we’ll send you the ticket link or you can look in our bio ;) . 🔎

Your body usually knows before your mind is ready to admit it.

The tight jaw. The shallow breath. The quiet "this isn't right for me" you keep talking yourself out of.

Alignment doesn't always start with a big decision. Sometimes it starts with simply listening.

This Wednesday, Roxanne Layao @roxy_wilm guides a mindfulness meditation held by the tones of crystal sound bowls. It's a chance to settle, breathe, and notice what's ready to come back into balance.

Then we talk. Real conversation, no pressure to share, just space to be heard.

This Monday, we're exploring alignment, and you don't need it all figured out to come. ✨

Sometimes alignment starts with getting still enough to notice what feels true… and what no longer belongs.

🌬️ Guided breath + body awareness
🔔 Crystal singing bowls to help you settle in
🤍 One contemplative question, then extended silence to sit with it. No "right" answer needed.

Sound helps us arrive.
Silence gives us space to listen.
Alignment asks us to live what we know is true.

When was the last time you heard your own voice? Not the one rushing through your to-do list. The one underneath it.

Most of us spend our days a little out of sync. Saying yes when we mean no. Moving fast when our body is asking us to slow down.

This month at Conscious Connection, we're exploring Alignment: what it feels like when what we think, feel, and do start moving in the same direction.

Join Rev. Dr. Megan "Magpie" Rose @sermononthemat in the garden for an evening of meditation guided by mantra, sound, and breath, followed by honest conversation in community.

No experience needed. No right way to do it. Just an open evening outdoors with people who want to slow down too.

📅 Wednesday, October 7
⏰ 6:00–7:00 PM
