Founder/Guide: Colleen Anne
Colleen Anne is a visionary artist and the founder of Ecstatic Dance Charlotte, passionate about creating experiences that invite people back into their bodies and into belonging—first with themselves. Her work centers on cultivating intentional spaces where movement, music and presence dissolve separation and remind us what it feels like to be fully human, together. At the heart of her vision is a community rooted in self-connection, choice and mutual respect—where each person is free to arrive exactly as they are and move from their own inner knowing.
As an intuitive artist and creatrix, Colleen creates interactive experiences that awaken the inner child and invite the body into exploration. Rooted in curiosity, embodiment, and emotional honesty, her work encourages authentic expression and shared presence—inviting each person to remain aware of their energy, honor consent and co-create the field with intention and care.
Dance Facilitator: Kat Harmon
Kat Harmon is a movement guide, embodiment facilitator, and community builder with nearly four decades of dance experience and over twenty years of teaching, choreography, and somatic facilitation. Her work weaves together mindful movement, nervous system support, breathwork, and embodied expression—inviting people back into relationship with their bodies in ways that feel accessible, grounded, and liberating.
With a background spanning dance, yoga, and somatic movement, Kat creates spaces where presence is valued over performance and where each person is encouraged to move from their own inner wisdom. Her approach is informed by nervous system regulation and energy‑based modalities, yet remains deeply practical and welcoming for real humans navigating real life.
Warm, playful, and empowering, Kat guides participants to listen inward, move with curiosity, and remember that joy, connection, and freedom are already alive within them. Her facilitation is an invitation to return home to the body—gently, honestly, and with room to breathe.
Lead Space Guardian: Kit Hadlund
Kit Hadlund is a facilitator, coach, ceremonialist, and father whose work is rooted in the belief that every story deserves to be honored. Since arriving in Charlotte in 2022, he has brought more than 15 years of experience in Menswork and Conflict Transformation to communities, schools, organizations, and families—guiding people through processes of repair, healing, and accountability. His presence invites honesty, balance, and the courage to return to oneself. You may also meet him as a poet, singer, drummer, primal activation coach, or dancer, each expression another way he listens to the world.
Kit’s relationship with movement is elemental. Dance is where he meets the child within him who still remembers play, where he honors ancestors who were taught to quiet their hips, and where he touches the living, infinite energy that moves through all beings. For him, movement is a pathway back to truth and belonging—a way of remembering what is sacred, alive, and shared. It is from this devotion to embodiment and connection that he steps into community, grateful to move alongside others.
