Every year on July 25th, the Mayan Calendar takes a reflective breath between July 24th - the end of the previous year - and July 26th - the start of the following year. This day is known as the Green Day, or the Day Out of Time. This year a few of us happened to gather for a potluck, sound journey and ecstatic dance at The Exchange - XCHC in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand. I picked the theme after I had already committed to the date, but it became a fitting framework for reflecting, processing and recharging during this journey.

It was a bit of an experiment, playing a few ambient tracks after we all filled our bellies and shared stories and lying on the warm heated floor, before easing into a mellow and soon reinvigorating dance. Thanks to everyone who brought their energy, by the end of the dance the air was quite electric! I hope to do it again sometime soon.

The first half hour is an ambient sound journey, which then melts into the hour long ecstatic dance.
