TANTRIC TRANCE DANCE:
Through this transformational dance process, you will be guided into befriending all the aspects of your Being. Your Sexual Nature as man or woman, your Hearts deep longing, and your personal connection to the Great Mystery. This is a spirituality that includes our sexuality.

This is a very unique dance experience, a blending of ancient and contemporary transformational tools, including: Bioenergetics, Ecstatic Dance, emotional release (Catharsis), Chakra Journeying, Vipassana Meditation, Latihan … with the powerful use of a blindfold – all these elements woven together invite you into a deep state of presence, awakening & celebration. Waking up to celebrate the one that you are.
*Please note: Use of a blindfold is essential to get the most out of this practice, blindfolds will be provided.
Enter into the life of the Body – Guided by our unique musical soundtracks created specifically for this healing modality. Tantric Trance Dance™ takes participants on the journey within. This is an active meditation for deeply connecting with your Being. Through the stages, you will begin to strip off layers of muscular armouring, surrendering to the dance of the body, letting go of baggage you may of been carrying for years, and connecting with your Souls calling.
You are the fusion of Nature and Spirit, the meeting point of Earth & Sky!
The Tantric Trance Dance™ process is a unique opportunity to connect with all the wild energies of your Nature, with your Heart and Spirit.

“Between the head and feet of any given person is a billion miles of unexplored wilderness. . . . We dance to shed skins, tear off masks, crack molds, and experience the breakdown – the shattering of borders between body, heart and mind . . .” – Gabrielle Roth
“WE have come to be danced not the nice invisible, self conscious shuffle but the matted hair flying, voodoo mama shaman shakin’ ancient bones dance the strip us from our casings, return our wings sharpen our claws & tongues dance the shed dead cells and slip into the luminous skin of love dance…” -Jewel Mathieson

FACILITATOR:
Facilitated by Seth Newman
”My purpose is to facilitate rituals that empower “the whole human being” through dance and music. Like Bioenergetics and other somatic processes, for me, Trance Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation. I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express, feel and find ourselves, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.
Tantric Trance Dance ritual is an ecstatic, creative process that returns us to the consciousness of the body and reclaims our Soul. For those who want to immerse themselves and explore their full potential, body, heart & soul!
Give yourself to the dance of life! Tantric Trance Dance ritual invites you to have a direct experience of freedom, truth and power, with awareness. A drug-free ecstasy!”
