DENNIS MAHONEY PRESENTS
Dennis Mahoney
HAPPINESS ADVOCATE
Dennis Mahoney spent 24 years running pubs in Cedar Rapids before he found his real work: helping people come home to themselves. For over a decade, he served as a blackwater diver with Linn County Underwater Search and Recovery, work that taught him how to stay present when everything around you goes dark. That same steadiness shows up in his sales coaching and now in his facilitation — Coming Home retreats, The Threshold, monthly storytelling series, and Corridor Movement Collective's weekly Ecstatic Dance gatherings. Dennis isn't interested in fixing people. He's interested in creating the conditions where people remember they were never broken to begin with.
The Threshold Series
The Threshold is a monthly immersive storytelling series, held the last Thursday of every month at The Olympic Southside Theatre in Cedar Rapids. Each evening is built around a single story — real, personal, and told live — paired with atmosphere, sound, and presence designed to pull you out of your everyday head and into something more honest. This isn't a performance you watch from a distance. It's an invitation to sit at the edge of your own life for an hour and see it a little differently.
ecstatic dance
Corridor Movement Collective is a weekly Ecstatic Dance gathering, held Sunday mornings at The Olympic Southside Theatre in Cedar Rapids. Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement practice — no teacher, no steps to learn, no one watching. Just a curated musical journey and a room full of people moving however their body wants to move. This is a sober, talk- and phone-free space, so you can drop fully into your body without distraction. It's a chance to shake off the week, get out of your head, and let your body say what it needs to say. No experience necessary.
Just show up and move. Corridor Movement Collective launches August 2nd.
