What was supposed to be a lighthearted, feel-good sound experience turned into one of the strangest nights we’ve ever had.

In this episode, my friend Katrina and I unpack our experience attending something called Inner Dance — discovered on Instagram and marketed as a calming, transcendent sound journey. Instead, we found ourselves in a three-hour experience filled with jarring sounds, unprocessed trauma, blurred boundaries, and an energy that felt deeply off from the very beginning.

We talk about expectations versus reality, how quickly a spiritual space can feel unsafe, and the difference between healing guidance and emotional dumping. We also explore the aftermath — feeling disoriented, unlucky, and energetically weighed down — and what it taught us about discernment, boundaries, and trusting your instincts when something doesn’t feel right.

This episode isn’t about fear — it’s about awareness. A cosmic cautionary tale on choosing your guides carefully, knowing when to leave, and remembering that not every “spiritual” experience is actually healing.
