COED for all genders
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION W/ CARE:
Join us for our 2nd annual COED for all genders! A clothing optional ecstatic dance for embodied freedom and radical self-expression. Come dance without judgement in the nude. In affiliation with CYNA, (Carolinas Young Naturist Association) and with the support of RED, (Raleigh Ecstatic Dance).
In honor of the Lunar New Year, we gather for COED to mark the transition from Snake to Horse—from shedding into expansion. Snake completes the work of release: old skins, old stories, old patterns that no longer fit. Horse carries us forward with breath, momentum, and embodied freedom. This is a ritual to complete the shedding and consecrate the beginning of expansion.
This gathering also takes place on the day of the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries—a rare threshold where vision meets responsibility and a new cycle begins at the very first degree of the zodiac. It’s a moment to root dreams into form, to let clarity arise from the unknown, and to initiate what comes next with care and courage.
Held within the Lunar New Year, this dance becomes a ritual of intention—aligning body, breath, and movement with the turning of the Moon and the beginning of a new chapter.
