Soul Village

Soul Village is a gathering to celebrate life. We come together with a passion to express ourselves and connect with each other. Dancing and Singing provide our main pathways to heal our sense of separation, and experience the depth of our personal and collective soulfulness.

Soul Village is thoughtfully facilitated by seasoned space-holders who understand the service of community building. The full range of human emotion is honored as the authentic path to wholeness. Leadership is a service that helps bring us together in co-creation of our shared dream of community.

How does Soul Village Compare
to Other Gatherings?

• The dance music will facilitate expression of a wide range of emotions. It will not include the techno music characteristic of many Ecstatic Dance events.
• The singing will be accessible, and rich. But this is not another version of Song Village, where singing is the sole activity. Participants at Soul Village should be interested in dance as well.
• Soul Village will be a very grounded, consciously facilitated community experience. It will not have a “festival” vibe, where hype and hyperbole are common, and expression of personal freedoms sometimes overshadow conscious attunement to the group.
