Ecstatic Dance in Squamish began as a creative sanctuary run by a small collective seeking a safe space to dance and express themselves. It was revitalized after the pandemic by the passionate Enliven Wellness Festival organizers, who recognized its importance in the community. Today, it thrives on the motivation and energy of all attendees, fostering an inclusive, supportive, and allied environment where everyone can come together to celebrate movement and connection. We strive to collaborate with local musicians and DJs to create unique experiences every week.  Join us in this community, where every heartbeat and every step is a testament to our shared journey. Dance Temple Squamish is a weekly conscious dance gathering rooted in movement, presence, and community. We come together to create a safe, intentional space where people are invited to move freely, listen deeply, and reconnect with themselves and one another through embodied expression. Our dances are held as a ceremonial container. Each gathering begins and ends together, supporting a shared sense of intention, safety, and integration. Within this space, we practice being fully present in our bodies, allowing music and movement to guide us beyond words and into felt experience. We stay grounded in values of consent, respect, and inclusivity. All bodies, identities, ages, and levels of dance experience are welcome. The dance floor is a non verbal space where communication happens through awareness, boundaries, and movement rather than conversation. We encourage dancers to honour their own needs while remaining mindful of others, helping to maintain a culture of trust and care. This space is stewarded by a dedicated team of organizers who are committed to holding the integrity of the container each week. Through reliability, clear boundaries, and shared responsibility, we support a consistent environment where the magic of the dance can unfold. This group is part of the broader lineage of Dance Temple gatherings worldwide, while remaining deeply connected to the local community and the land we gather on. Whether you come to move, release, connect, or simply be, you are welcome here just as you are.
