Ecstatic Movement Class

About
Join Shaker Heritage for this beginner-friendly ecstatic movement class to celebrate the Shakers' 250th!
When Ann Lee and the Shakers arrived here 250 years ago, they engaged in intuitive ecstatic dance and sang wordless songs, which were purportedly heard from miles around; these practices were healing and central to early Shaker life and worship. Help us celebrate early Shaker life and this anniversary by embodying Shaker history through a participatory ecstatic dance workshop led by Antoinette Simms.
