Hear the ancient pulse calling you into ritual...

A beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual.

TRYBE® · Shamanic Trance Dance

01 · The invitation

An inward journey

A ritual practice and active meditation: a blindfolded, free-form movement experience.

Trance Dance invites deep liberation, driven by breath, intention and energy, moving deeper than the thinking mind so we can truly let go.

In the dark, the mind quiets and the body becomes the guide. Breath, drums and music work together to shift you into a deeply aware state, where emotions can release, insight can arise, and a more instinctive, intuitive intelligence begins to move through you.

02 · The ritual

Four elements, one journey

Rooted in global shamanic traditions, this is a practice of embodied transformation: a dance to connect you to your own inner wisdom and the wisdom of the planet.

  • Cacao

    Raw ceremonial cacao and an intention-setting ritual open the heart.

  • Blindfold

    With your eyes covered, you see with your heart and connect with the wisdom inside you.

  • Breath

    A transforming breathing technique carries you deeper than the thinking mind.

  • Rhythm

    Dynamic drums, percussion and ecstatic movement carry you into trance.

To feel, to express, to come home… to be completely alive.

From previous dancers

An exceptional evening, everything I wanted and more! To experience such presence, inner stillness and sacred connection with other people, in such a short time with strangers here in London, is rare to find. The body, movement, connection, presence, passion and love. I felt it all… Grateful.
Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.
I'm really surprised that I could feel so "high" without having to "intoxicate" myself! A great night and no hangover!
Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!
Wonderful experience. A magical journey into yourself, and an opportunity to just enjoy dance with a lovely group of soul dancers at the same time. Every movement was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman for creating this fantastic dance, it has helped me a lot after a hard week. May love connect us all.
Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing, expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!
It was a very powerful, letting go, ritual experience. Brilliant!
Excellent, friendly, well-led and a very different experience. Thank you.
Then we move into fire

RAGE RITUAL®: Anger & Assertiveness Workshop

Unlock & Activate your Roar.

Rage Ritual is not about chaos. It’s about reclaiming life-force! Anger, when expressed consciously, is clean energy. It sets boundaries. It restores dignity. It protects what matters. Through our unique guided process, breath and embodied activation, you’ll be invited to unlock your roar in a space that is structured and grounded.

TRYBE® · Rage Ritual®

01 · The workshop

What is Rage Ritual®?

A movement and embodiment workshop to release your natural anger and aggression, safely and without judgement, with a deep appreciation for your innate power and strength.

From a very young age, most of us are taught to hide our emotions and bottle up the anger, sadness and pain we feel inside.

Rage Ritual® helps you get back in touch with those feelings and express them in a healthy way, in a safe-enough space.

02 · The process

From lead into gold

A structured workshop that guides you to release anger and aggression, and transform it, like alchemy, into something powerful.

  1. 1Ground

    We begin with grounding and centring mindfulness practices, learning to gently come home to the safety within.

  2. 2Release

    Emotional release exercises help you express feelings long held in the body. Tears, screams and epiphanies are all welcome.

  3. 3Transform

    Reclaim that energy as strength: claim your boundaries and step into your power.

We draw on Seth Newman's Bioenergetic Alchemy® toolkit, rooted in humanistic embodiment practices: a powerful container for accessing and releasing pent-up feelings.

Read more about the journey

It can be an incredibly vulnerable experience to let our inner feelings be witnessed and released. Many people cry or have breakthroughs as emotions and traumas stored for years come to the surface.

Anger is often seen as unacceptable in our culture, and understandably so, because it has rarely been given healthy, safe ways to be expressed. But holding on to and suppressing anger can be just as harmful. We need spaces where we can express our natural emotions safely.

We've designed this workshop to be as accessible as possible for anyone ready to dive in wholeheartedly.

Ready? Activate your ROAR.

03 · Is it for you?

This workshop is for you if…

  • You want to release your anger but don't know how, or are afraid to do it alone
  • You feel tension stuck in your body (neck, lower back, headaches) after episodes of anger, frustration or sadness
  • You feel ready to shift stuck patterns
  • You're tired of not being heard or taken seriously
  • You've had enough of playing small and are ready to step fully into your power
  • You're angry about the injustices of this world
  • You're angry about violence against women
  • You're angry about the overexploitation of the Earth
Better boundary setting

Feeling your anger shows you where your boundaries lie. Through this process, you strengthen your ability to say NO.

05 · Before you come

Your wellbeing comes first

While this work may have therapeutic benefits, it is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you're experiencing significant mental health challenges, we strongly encourage you to seek 1:1 support from a qualified psychotherapist.

We do our best to create a space that feels safe and inclusive, but it's your responsibility to look after your own needs and boundaries. If that's something you struggle with, or you have any concerns about the workshop, please contact us in advance. We're always happy to chat about whether this is right for you right now.

Rage Ritual® may not be suitable for everyone.

Please don't attend if you have:

  • Any kind of hernia
  • A persistent cough
  • Any acute symptoms
  • Epilepsy
  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Incontinence
  • Major psychiatric disorders
  • Severe backache
  • Had surgery in the last 3 months

This list is for guidance only and is not exhaustive. If in doubt, please consult a trained medical professional first.

Prana Mystic Ecstatic Dance

Global Bass | Ethno-Fusion Folktronica | Shamanic Soundscapes

PRANA MYSTIC rises… global bass-lines, ethno-fusion textures and shamanic soundscapes carry us into ecstatic dance. Cacao flows. Intentions are seeded. Bodies sweat. The dancefloor becomes temple and playground at once.

TRYBE® · Prana Mystic Ecstatic Dance

01 · The dance

Temple & playground

Global bass lines, ethno-fusion textures and shamanic soundscapes carry us into ecstatic dance.

Many of us know that certain music can take us into deep states of bliss, tuning us to parts of ourselves we've lost touch with. Through dance, we reconnect with the wonder, openness and ecstatic nature of our being: a dance-as-meditation practised throughout the ages.

Come to open up, release city stress, dance in more light and joy and make new friends, all to a mystical, euphoric and uplifting set that connects us with our dance, our hearts and our creativity.

Includes ceremonial-grade cacao and a guided cacao ceremony with Seth, to connect us with our body, heart and positive intention.

Cacao flowsIntentions are seededBodies sweat

No prior experience of ecstatic dance is necessary. All are welcome.

02 · Guidelines

How we dance

A few simple agreements keep this a safe, free and sacred space for everyone.

  • No booze

    Alcohol, drug, psychedelic and smoke free. We get a natural high through dance and cacao.

  • No shoes

    Dance barefoot and feel the floor beneath you.

  • No phones

    Phones away, so everyone can be fully present.

  • No chit-chat

    Let the body do the talking on the dancefloor.

    No steps to learn, no right or wrong.

  • Respect

    Respect yourself and others.

No late arrivals

This is a shared journey from beginning to end, and we hold a safe container for every dancer. Please arrive on time, as we can't let anyone in once the journey has begun.

Zero tolerance for drugs & alcohol

This is one of the very few places Londoners can dance on a Saturday night in a safe, sober space. If you arrive drunk or high, you'll be refused entry or asked to leave, with no refund.
