Jaya Kava is blessed to provide nourishment for our local-area ecstatic dances at every local Dance Medicine Philly event — taking place almost weekly at the Lithuanian Music Hall! See this post’s image for a list of upcoming dances and mark your calendar <3
At Dance Medicine Philly, Jaya Kava offers Ayurvedic edibles + beneficial drinkables in the form of:
<>Kava Concoctions, Ceremonial Cacao, Golden Chai, Hot and Iced Intentional Teas to Hydrate, Soothe Tension, Open the Heart, Nourish the Soul, and Uplift the Spirit.
<>Organic and Vegan Seasonal Stews, Kitchari and Cookies, lovingly prepared by my partner, and DMP co-organizer, Richie Parrella.
Ecstatic Dance is a three-part ceremony: warm-up, dance, and sound-healing. Starting about 15 years ago on the Big Island of Hawaii, this type of gathering has groups now holding similar space in most major American cities. I highly encourage you to come for the entirety of it. There’s an Opening and Closing Circle, and so much goodness in-between. A real energetic journey experience to get present with what’s alive within you and move whatever needs to.
Dance Medicine Philly (DMP) is a non-profit organization powered by a team of compassionate humans, with all of the work done out of each person’s commitment to it’s multifaceted mission of healing, community, expression and connection. Admission to weekly dances never exceeds $25, and can be as low as $15 if you snag the Early Bird option :) PLUS: they LOVE volunteer energy so definitely reach out to @oraoracle on Instagram, if free admission is of interest, in exchange for helping out for an hour or two before, during, or after the event <3
