Alchemy of Oneness: Sacred Dance & the Third Force

Join us for Alchemy of Oneness: Sacred Dance & the Third Force, a transformative ecstatic dance experience designed to awaken your spirit and unite body, mind, and soul. Held on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at the serene Menla Retreat and Dewa Spa in Phoenicia, NY, this sacred gathering brings together the ancient wisdom of kundalini yoga, mantra chanting, and ecstatic movement to create a portal for inner transformation. Led by Jai Dev Singh, a kundalini yoga and mantra teacher rooted in Yogi Bhajan's lineage, this ecstatic dance event in Phoenicia promises a journey beyond the ordinary into the alchemy of collective consciousness.

The evening weaves together dynamic spiritual practices with the liberating power of ecstatic dance, creating a unique container where movement becomes prayer and dance becomes meditation. Whether you're seeking healing, spiritual growth, or simply a night of joyful embodiment, this ecstatic dance event offers a rare opportunity to explore the "Third Force"—that mysterious convergence where self and other, body and spirit, personal and universal dissolve into oneness. The combination of kundalini practices, sacred chanting, and free-form ecstatic movement creates a multi-sensory experience that touches every dimension of your being.

What to Expect

Arrive early to settle into the tranquil mountain atmosphere of Phoenicia and find your space in the sacred circle. The evening unfolds with grounding kundalini yoga and breathwork led by Jai Dev Singh, preparing your nervous system and opening your energetic channels. As the evening progresses, mantra chanting creates a resonant frequency throughout the room, anchoring intention and collective devotion before the ecstatic dance journey begins.

Once the music flows, you'll be invited to move freely and authentically, responding to rhythms and vibrations that guide your body's wisdom. Ecstatic dance is a non-choreographed, intuitive practice—there's no "right way" to move. The space holds you as you explore what emerges: pure joy, cathartic release, meditative flow, or profound stillness. Many attendees report feeling deeply connected to themselves, to others in the circle, and to something greater throughout the evening.

The experience closes with a gentle grounding and integration period, allowing you to integrate the shifts and insights that arise. You'll leave feeling more alive, more connected, and more aligned with your authentic self.
