Medicina Ecstatic Dance & Cacao


A full ecstatic dance journey into release, joy, expression and inner luminosity

Each of our all-day Saturday Sessions offers Londoners a kind of sanctuary space to come and dance, be themselves, dive deep, have fun, release stress, connect with their body, and stretch themselves beyond their usual way of being. You can attend the whole day or just drop-in for single workshops. No experience necessary.

During the day you will have the chance to dance and dive into a selection of some very beautiful and unique movement & relaxation practices.

11:45 am - 2:30 pm
Our journey begins

ENVISION

What’s Your Heart-Felt Vision for 2027?

A dedicated space to dream, shape and articulate your vision for the year ahead. This session is rooted in the Creative Flow Dojo® approach, practices that help us enter that “optimal” flow state experience where clarity, creativity and courage meet

About The Workshop

What’s Your Heart-Felt Vision for 2027?

This session is rooted in the Creative Flow Dojo® approach. Whether you’re longing to meet a partner, reshape your career, take bold new steps, establish healthier routines, or simply feel more connected to yourself and your life-vision, this workshop supports you in uncovering your heart-felt intentions for 2026.

What is the Creative Flow Dojo®?
  • Creative Flow refers to that optimal body–mind state where clarity, ease, intuition and performance align.
  • The Dojo is the learning space, a dedicated container for exploration, repetition, growth and mastery.

THE GATHERING

Most of us have tasted moments of “creative flow,” those sometimes rare moments when everything clicks and we feel intimately connected to the best of ourselves.

This workshop explores how to enter that state consciously, and with intention. And we’re excited to be sharing some of the Creative Flow Dojo’s unique practices with you!

Throughout the playshop, you’ll learn how to unfold the inner and outer conditions that support generativity, how to shift into a positive flow states where creativity, resilience and presence come online.

ENVISION is a space to pause, listen, and chart the year ahead with clarity.
This workshop is an anchor point at the turning of the year: a chance to name what matters, align with your deeper intentions, and step into 2026 with more confidence, focus and energy.

If you’re ready to make 2027 a year of heartfelt clarity and meaningful change, join us for ENVISION and begin shaping your next chapter with purpose.

3:30 pm - 5:45 pm
Then we move into connection

The Gathering

Human Connection Ritual

The Gathering is a Human Connection Ritual that blends modern breathwork with conscious connection practices. Through embodied practices and conscious breathwork, we remember what it means to be fully alive… within ourselves, and with one another.

Join us in this powerful and beautiful experience to open our hearts and shine our light into the world!

 Open to new possibilities in connection and authentic relating. During this workshop, you will be invited to first tune into yourself. Sensing your body, and tapping into your sensations, to create safety, and a sense of home, and self-care… from here we then extend our awareness out to include others, meeting others in a non-traditional and heart-centred way.

In this event, you will learn to honour your boundaries, & learn to simply enjoy your natural desire for connection and disconnection, and practice communicating both with authenticity.

As part of this workshop, we’re including a breathwork ritual that involves conscious connected breath and eye gazing, a very simple yet profound experience. Celebrate shining your light into the world this Autumn!

Guided by our experienced facilitator & creator of this process, Seth Newman, you will:
  • Cultivate profound inner awareness by tuning into the subtle sensations of your body and breath
  • Open to authentic connection with others through the practice of eye gazing and breath synchronization
  • Discover the dance between your inner and outer worlds, learning to hold space for both
  • Access states of expanded consciousness and emotional release through the magic of the breath
  • Become part of a supportive community committed to personal growth and collective healing.

Schedule:

◈ 3:30PM-5:45PM (no entry after 3:45pm)

The Gathering is a connection ritual that includes conscious connected breathwork that has been used for centuries to promote well-being, deepen relationships, and catalyze transformation. And with us, you will have the opportunity to experience its profound effects firsthand.

Individual Session Price

You can join for individual sessions instead of the whole day.
The Gathering Prices: £20 – £30. 

If buying a The Ritual ticket, The Gathering is included in your ticket price.

An evening of Mystical & Uplifting Medicine Music

Medicina

Global Bass | Ethno-Fusion | Folktronica | Medicine Music | Shamanic Soundscapes

As the longest night of the year gathers us together, Medicina invites you into a deep, soulful and uplifting dance journey, a blend of ancient global rhythms, mystical shamanic soundscapes and electro-folktronica designed to open the heart, activate the body and awaken the luminous within.

Medicina Ecstatic Dance

This is dance-as-meditation at its most alive and vibrant. A modern ritual rooted in ancient traditions of the Solstice through movement, song, rhythm and communal gathering.

The music is crafted to guide you through a full arc: grounding, expanding, releasing and connecting. It’s your chance to shake off the city, free your voice, and rediscover the vital spark that Winter dulls.

We begin with a rich ceremonial-grade cacao offering and guided intention-setting with Seth, an invitation to soften into your flow, connect with your heart and enter the dance with clarity and presence. From there, the soundwave unfolds into an ecstatic journey designed to energise, open, express, and shine.

No experience is needed. All bodies, all backgrounds, all rhythms welcom
