DANCING INTO BALANCE - Fall Equinox Ecstatic Dance Journey - with Kudos Lokey
Share this event
Transitions mark great moments of opportunity for intentional change. Fall Equinox happens only once a year, providing us with a great opportunity to move into the sharpest time of the year. Dancing into Balance is an ecstatic dance journey, orchestrated by the Toronto-based DJ and producer, favorite in our community: Kudos Lokey!
Arrive and have a moment to connect and land into self, explore the inspiring installations at the space, including a special Autumn Equinox altar created by Leslie Brennan to honour the turning of the season. The journey begins with an introduction and activation meditation with Paz. Followed by a warm up flow with Hailey Dobis. From then the movement journey with Kudos Lokey will lead the way into the Rising Fall. Closing circle with Paz.
When you arrive, you will be asked to remove your outdoor shoes. Bring indoor shoes if that is more comfortable for you.
Reminder that this is a focused experience where we are going to keep silence until the end, which allows for deeper reflection, processing and introspection as this is an experience and gift from you to you 🩵
Social time will happen once the event is over for those who want to stay and connect in that capacity, for those who want to take their inward journey and leave right away, or at anytime, that is also acceptable. There are no strict expectations but ideally everyone should arrive at 6:50 pm and expect to start 10-15 after that, and experience the full duration of this rich event.

About Kudos Lokey:
Kudos LoKey is a cosmic conduit of sound, channeling the pulse, colours, and movement of the Earth into musical poetry. Known for his intoxicating fusion of bass music, global rhythms, and psychedelic textures, Kudos LoKey invites listeners into an immersive experience of sound, movement, and prayer.
The alter-ego of veteran producer and engineer Snappy Homefry, Kudos LoKey was born from decades of sound exploration in Toronto’s vibrant underground. Drawing inspirations from his city’s multicultural heartbeat and years of global travel, Kudos weaves a tapestry of diverse influences into what he calls “50 Shades of Bass”, a sensual kaleidoscope with boundless expression in the vast language of Bass Music.
As a sound sorcerer, Kudos crafts music to awaken our cosmic hearts and remind us of sound’s primordial medicine. His performances are ceremonies of movement and connection, where dance becomes devotion and bass becomes breath.
With over 25 years in the music industry, Snappy has engineered and produced for an eclectic mix of artists in genres spanning Reggae, Latin, Folk, and Techno from his renowned Playhouse Studio in Toronto. Since stepping onto the scene as Kudos LoKey in 2019, he’s shared stages with Desert Dwellers, The Human Experience, Andreilien, Adham Shaikh, Soohan, Dubmatix, and Michael Red, and has electrified audiences at festivals such as Beloved, Lucidity, Harvest, Future Forest, Valhalla, Eclipse, Evolve, and Sonic Springs.
Kudos LoKey’s sonic evolution continues with releases on Gravitas Recordings and High Vibe Records, alongside official remixes for Skysia, Morillo, DTO, Dubmatix, Mr. Ours (France), and Tyr Kohout. Every set is an invocation — a reminder that music is ancient medicine, and the dance floor is where we pray with our bodies.

What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic Dance is a freeform, DJ-guided movement journey where the dance floor becomes a space for exploration, expression, and release. Through rhythm, ritual, and intention, participants are invited to drop beneath the mind and into the wisdom of the body. There are no steps to follow—participants are invited to move in their own way, at their own pace, within a respectful and supportive space.
From this place, movement becomes a doorway—into personal inquiry, connection, and presence. Each journey unfolds uniquely, offering space to expand, to soften, and to listen. A moving meditation, and dance-floor medicine for the body, heart, and spirit.
