Women's Sacred Dirty Dance: Light My Fire
We considered changing the name of this event with the state of the world. Then decided to keep it for the following reasons.
We live right now in a world that is on fire. There is so much heat and flame outside of us that is creating chaos, upheaval, confusion and fear. As much as it would be easy to wish that all fires would simply stop, there is a fire that lives within us that we must at all costs protect and stoke. It is our agni. The fire within our cells. It is our sense of purpose, our fight to stay alive, inspired, in hope.
The intention behind this Women's Sacred Dirty Dance: Light My Fire is to share the passion and deep belief in the tool of movement and music and expression to stoke the fire of life and help us feel stronger and braver in this world so that we can feel hope, hold light and continue to choose life.
There are so few places where women can feel truly safe to move and be free. This event is a sacred evening for women to connect with themselves, each other, and to dance as you please to deep and dirty dance beats as we dance through the grit and fog to help us connect to our inner light.
This is the 10th time we are hosting this gathering, and we are so excited to come together again. The evening will be hosted by Emma, Heidi, and Vaelei, and special guest Andrea Agur from Aura Garden, who will guide us through vocal activation throughout the journey.
Why Dirty?
The word “dirty” has been used to shame women for ages. However, in Women Who Run with the Wolves, the chapter “The Dirty Goddess” speaks to this untamed feminine spirit that defies societal constraints. There's a part of every woman that revels in the raw and the real. Together, we reclaim the word “dirty” as sacred — like the earth beneath our feet, primal and holy. This is a night to honor that part of ourselves: to move, to sweat, to feel, to laugh, and to remember.
What to Expect
- We'll begin with a thoughtful discussion to explore our relationship to the word “dirty” and the concept of inner fire.
- As we begin, we will drop into a personal journey of guided movement & breathwork, through guided vocal activation as well, to awaken and ground the body, soften the edges, and open the channels for deeper movement.
- Then, we'll flow into a free dance journey, where movement and play become tools for transformation.
- As we journey deeper, we'll explore through our dance our personal relationship to passion and heat — not to control it, but to lean in, listen, and let it move us.
What to Bring
- A lightweight scarf or bandana (optional)
- A water bottle to stay hydrated
What to Wear
Dress in whatever makes you feel like your most favorite self that day. For this “Light My Fire” theme, we recommend warm, fiery colors — reds, oranges, golds, or anything that makes you feel alive and ready to burn.
No Dance Experience Needed
This dance evening has its own style of ecstatic dance. Ecstatic dance is a freeform, non-structured movement practice where you are invited to move in response to music without choreography or judgment. It's a space of personal expression, mindfulness, and connection, often experienced as a form of moving meditation and self-exploration.
