Pre-Pesach Ecstatic Dance: Release the Chametz
Join us for 14Y Selah’s April Ecstatic Dance with DJ Oatmeal as we prepare for Passover—not by cleaning our kitchens, but by clearing space within ourselves.
In the tradition of removing chametz, this immersive evening invites you to release spiritual clutter, shake out what’s been stuck, and create room for clarity, freedom, and renewal. Through rhythm, movement, and intention, we’ll align body, mind, and spirit with the liberation that Passover calls us into.
Expect deep beats, live DJ vibes, grounding rituals, and cozy treats. Come dressed to move, and bring a water bottle and an open heart..
