CALENDAR
Feeling blue in the icy winter weather? There’s no better way to warm
up than ecstatic dance, Mike Meyer of Community Ecstatic Dance
says. Cold community members can find some warmth and community
in WOW Hall on Dec. 29 and help the community while they’re at it.
“People kind of connect with each other non-verbally but a lot of it is
an individual experience,” Meyer says. This week’s dance is a benefit
for Community Supported Shelters around Eugene. These shelters,
part of Eugene’s Rest Stop program, provide shelter, community and
resources to the homeless. Donations at the dance will go to support
these shelters, though Meyer says anyone can join the fun, even
if they don’t donate. “I really think the practice itself is a wonderful
therapeutic healing event,” Meyer says. “It’s such good exercise and it’s
fun — definitely one of the healthiest wintertime activities in the whole
community.” Meyer, a social worker during the day, says that ecstatic
dance “helps realize the vision of really healthy community activities
that bring us together and help us support each other.” He adds that the
music at the dance is a cross between work music and electronica, with
roots and swing music occasionally mixed in.
The Community Ecstatic Dance benefit for Community Supported
Shelters is 7:15-9pm, Thursday, Dec. 29, at WOW Hall, 291 E. 8th Eugene.
