Why Connectival? And Why London Needs It
London is one of the most vibrant cities in the world, yet many of us feel disconnected, overstimulated, and yearning for genuine human connection.
Connectival, created and hosted by Ecstatic Dance London in collaboration with guest facilitators, is a response to that need.
This gathering (we plan to run this every month with different workshops & guest facilitators) offers practical tools for connection that you can take into everyday life through movement, presence, and authentic conversation. These practices foster deeper relationships with yourself and with others, particularly in a fast-paced city environment.
Held just after Valentine’s Day, Connectival widens the idea of love beyond romance into something more human and sustainable. Connection, community, expression, presence, and belonging.
Connectival is rooted in consent, inclusivity, embodied awareness, and respect for boundaries.
This is a space to feel safe, welcome, and human.
In a city that rarely slows down, Connectival is an invitation to pause, move, and reconnect with yourself and with others.
What Is Connectival?
Connectival is a half-day embodied connection gathering bringing together:
• Guided embodiment and connection practices
• Authentic relating and verbal connection tools
• An extended ecstatic dance journey hosted by Ecstatic Dance London
• Sound journey for integration
• Spacious time to connect, rest, or simply be
All held in a warm, consent-led, agreements-based, connection-positive environment.
You are welcome to come alone, with friends, or with a partner.
