Sam Kennedy

Sam first discovered how liberating dance could feel at Bonnaroo in 2013. Since then, he has been exploring ecstatic dance in Seattle and around the world. Sam is a licensed mental health counselor, with a Master’s in Existential and Phenomenology psychology as well as training in various Somatic approaches. Dance has become one of his most important tools for getting into his body and accessing play – and he wanted to write a book to share some of the ways he gets out of his brain and expands beyond his patterns. Recently he has started teaching Contact Improv and running groups combining dance and psychology.
