Sacred Phoenix Sisterhood Circle We are a women’s circle based in Beaver County, PA, that meets monthly for ceremonies, ecstatic dance and fun community building events like themed tea parties, craft nights, and foraging nature walks 🌙🪶🌹💫🌀💃

Join me this Friday at 6pm at Meko Yoga & Wellness for my next ecstatic dance circle! We’ll be releasing what no longer serves us through primal screaming, we will be connecting to the Earth through guided meditation, and we will be dancing as if no one is watching 💃 (no prior dance experience required) as we get lost in the music, we enter a trance-like state, a state of ‘flow’. It is the most fun you’ll have while meditating! Looking for a fun ‘girls night out’ activity with your friends? Look no further! Pre-registration is required. Call Meko at 724-581-4028 or register online at

Ecstatic Dance is an ancient healing practice, utilized by our ancestors all over the world for thousands of years. It is also a form of dance therapy, which has been scientifically proven to be an effective treatment modality for trauma, anxiety and depression. When you book a dance circle with me, you are booking a session of deep emotional healing for yourself and your friends. I keep my rates very reasonable because I feel that healing should be accessible to all. Instead of blowing your hard earned money on a girls night out at the club, save some money and book a girls night out in a park with me, and let’s dance ourselves into better emotional wellbeing ✨

Thank you so much for your beautiful pictures Shades of Amber Studios!

When you book a women’s dance circle, you get more than emotional release through dancing. We dive into the science behind what we’re doing and how it affects your brain and body. We do guided meditations to connect to your body, to Mother Earth, and to each other. And if you desire, we can incorporate a spiritual ceremony into our circle for further connection to your spirit, your ancestors, Nature, and the Divine ✨

I had the honor of facilitating several Women’s Dance Circles at the Beaver County Heathen Festival last weekend. We laughed, we cried, we danced, and we healed together. Thank you to all who came and participated, it was truly a magical experience ✨

Hello! I would love to hold a Women’s Healing Dance Circle at your workplace/yoga studio/girls night/club/festival/private gathering, wherein I give a hands-on lesson on the ancient healing art of conscious dance. I’m a social worker from the Pittsburgh region. I’m currently writing a book on the neuroscience behind ancient healing practices such as drumming and ritual dance, and their practical use in modern day trauma therapy. Conscious dance/ecstatic dance is particularly useful in treating trauma and anxiety, and I will dive more deeply into the therapeutic benefits in my upcoming book. I have used heathen songs, where we channelled our inner shield maidens, embodied our spirit animals, and felt our magic grow within us. I can also use music and meditation to create dance circles with themes of female empowerment, shadow work and transformation, grief and healing, gender-affirming dance workshops for our trans sisters, celebratory dance circles with fun pop music or just about any theme you can think of. First we will have a short prayer/intention and a warm up, which consists of some stretching, shaking, and of course, primal screaming! Then we will dance and raise our energy with a combination of lively songs and slower songs. Then we close with a short prayer/intention. It’ll take about 45-60 minutes depending on the amount of talking I do in between each song. I can dress up in full Viking or medieval witch garb for the occasion, or even as a pirate, an angel, a fairy, or just about anything that correlates with our chosen theme. I can also facilitate the dance circle in athletic attire if costuming is not desired for the venue. I keep my fees very reasonable because I believe healing should be accessible to all. (I will add a small travel fee if the location is farther than a one hour drive from Beaver Falls PA) Message me for booking information.

I am an ordained Non-Denominational Minister, and I would be honored to officiate your themed wedding! I will gladly officiate weddings without dressing in costume as well. I’m happily available for LGBTQ+ weddings ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I travel throughout most of PA, Eastern Ohio, Northern West Virginia and occasionally Michigan 💃

A plethora of research studies have demonstrated that many somatic (body-based) practices such as drumming and dance has been shown to be just as effective as medication and talk therapy in fighting the effects of trauma. Dancing, especially ritual dancing, can also be very therapeutic for everyday stress and anxiety. Leave your domestication behind and indulge your wild, feral nature. Join us for a night of sisterhood and healing, as we stomp, twirl and growl our way to better emotional wellbeing; and harness your innate inner power, practicing the ancient traditions of ritual dance
