Seth has a life-long passion for active meditations and other movement\, and embodiment practices. His in-depth studies\, trainings and personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities infuse his approach in creating and facilitating life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. As a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces and has been running various body-mind integration workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is passionate about the power of rhythm & drums to transform & awaken humanity\, he has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, and has worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years. He formed the URUBU collective & Ecstatic Dance London back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians\, and with heart felt vision has forged the Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth channels his passion for rhythm into his DJ sets\, incorporating Afro-centric\, Cuban\, and Brazilian influences\, providing an electrifying and soulful experience! \nEcstatic Dance London & URUBU offers a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?\nMUSIC – MOVEMENT – COMMUNITY! \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance. We love music. We love to inspire\, to connect\, to heal and transform! \nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. Move your body\, unleash the wild dancing self without caring what people think\, claim your freedom\, open your heart & touch the infinite! \nOur Ecstatic Dance classes create a safe and respectful environment that embraces ‘all ways’. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration\, connection\, fun\, healing\, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance. \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave. The Practice: freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music\, the community and our own inner space direct our steps\, our movements\, our expression\, our journey. Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:\nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers. \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you\, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n💜 ALL UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS +CREWING:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london \n💛FREE CREW SPACES: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!

When we combine this type of world music with dance\, we can reconnect with our natural sense of wonder\, freedom\, and ecstatic expression. \nFor us\, dance has always been more than just movement — it is meditation\, a way to tap into something far greater than our individual selves. Across cultures and generations\, time & space\, people have danced to heal\, to connect\, and to remember who they truly are. \nPRANA MYSTIC is an invitation to move\, release\, and open up — to let go of city stress\, to dance in lightness and joy\, and to share the experience with a beautiful community. \nOur journey will be guided by a powerful\, uplifting\, and heart-expanding WORLD MUSIC set — weaving together mystical\, euphoric\, and transformative sounds to awaken your creativity and deepen your connection with your dance and your heart. \n🌿 To support this journey\, we’ll also share ceremonial-grade cacao in a guided Cacao Ceremony & Chakra Journey with Seth — a grounding practice that opens the heart\, nurtures the body\, and aligns our energy centres with positivity before we dance. \nCome as you are. Dance barefoot. Leave recharged\, uplifted\, and inspired. 🌟 No prior experience of ecstatic dance is necessary.

We love music. We love to inspire\, to connect\, to heal and transform! \nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. Move your body\, unleash the wild dancing self without caring what people think\, claim your freedom\, open your heart & touch the infinite! \nOur Ecstatic Dance sessions create a safe and respectful environment that embraces ‘all ways’. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration\, connection\, fun\, healing\, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance. \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance. The Practice: freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music\, the community and our own inner space direct our steps\, our movements\, our expression\, our journey. Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:\nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers. \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you\, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness? Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\n\n\n💜 ALL UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS +CREWING:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london \n💛FREE CREW SPACES: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!

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.”  \nSeth Newman: As the founder of the Ecstatic Dance London\, he integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. As a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is very passionate about rhythm & drumming\, has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years\, created URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians and started his journey as an avid DJ with a love for Afro-Beat\, Cuban and Brazilian music and created an Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth has a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms and other movement and Ecstatic Dance practices. \nEcstatic Dance London offers a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices. \n\n\n\n\nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n⋘ ─ ∗TRANCE DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM (no entry after 12pm) \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go. \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nWe all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is inside us! \nCACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL \nWe will set our intentions for Trance Dance with ceremonial grade cacao. Our Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best\, velvety tasting cacao in town for sure!). She uses ethically sourced\, highest quality ingredients from Guatemala\, directly from a reliable cacao bean farmer. This rich velvety elixir is a doorway to the heart\, celebrated and honoured by the Incas\, Aztecs\, Mayans and in many ancient traditions. Cacao\, chocolate in its purest form\, is a heart opening & totally natural NON-psychedelic medicine\, containing an abundance of nutritional goodness & natural happy chemicals. \nRelease what no longer serves you\, and invite in what you want more of in your life! \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, 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” \n“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!” \n“It was a very powerful\, letting go\, ritual experience. Brilliant!” \n“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!” \n“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 body was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman to create this fantastic dance\, it has helped me lot after a hard week. May Love connect us all. xxx” \n“Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ RAGE RITUAL™ – Unlock & Activate Your ROAR! ∗ ─ ⋙\n3:30PM-5:45PM (no entry after 3:45pm) \nWhat is Rage Ritual™? \nThis is a workshop designed to create an environment in which we can release our natural anger & aggression in a safe space\, and in a safe way\, without judgement and with a positive appreciation of our innate power and strength! \nOften in our culture\, we are taught from a very young age\, to hide our emotions and bottle up the anger\, sadness\, and pain that we feel inside. \nRage Ritual™ will teach you how to get in touch with these feelings\, and express your natural emotions in a healthy way\, & in a safe enough space. \nThe Process \nThe Rage Ritual™ process begins with grounding and centering mindfulness practices. The first step is to become embodied and learn how to first come home to the safety within. So it is a very structured workshop designed for you to experience the healing effects of releasing anger and aggression\, transforming it\, like alchemy\, from lead into gold. It can be an incredibly vulnerable experience to allow our internal feelings to be witnessed and released so expect to release emotions\, to cry\, to scream perhaps. \nWe’ll be tapping into our Bioenergetic Alchemy toolkit\, which is rooted in humanistic embodiment practices\, to offer you a powerful container to access and release pent-up feelings\, claim your boundaries\, and step into your power. \nAs the process continues\, we move from the grounding practices to the emotional release exercises\, to begin to express\, the deeply suppressed anger held in the body. \nMany people cry or have epiphanies during this process as emotions and traumas that have been stored for sometimes\, many years can come up. \nOverall\, Rage Ritual can be extremely healing. We know the idea that anger isn’t acceptable in our culture\, and for good reason\, it hasn’t been allowed to be expressed in healthy and safe ways. But holding onto and suppressing anger and aggression can be equally harmful! We need to learn to express our natural emotions in a healthy way & in safe spaces. \nWe have designed this workshop to be as accessible as possible for those who are ready to dive in wholeheartedly\, and ACTIVATE THEIR ROAR! \nStrictly no latecomers! – Sorry\, please arrive on time! Unfortunately\, if you are more than 15 minutes late for the workshop \, you will not be allowed entry (and there can be no refunds\, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. Thank you for understanding – please plan your travel to arrive early to be on time. \nDisclaimer \nWhile this work may have therapeutic benefits\, this is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing significant mental health challenges\, we strongly encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist. \nWhile we do our best to create an environment that feels safe and inclusive\, it is your responsibility to look after your own needs and boundaries. If this is something you struggle with\, or you are concerned about any element of this workshop please contact us in advance. We are very willing to chat and check in about whether this workshop is right for you at this time. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou want to release your anger but don’t know how to or are afraid of doing it alone\nYou feel tensions stuck in your body (neck\, lower back pain\, headaches) that come after episodes of anger\, frustration\,\, or sadness\nYou feel ready to shift stuck patterns\nYou are tired of not being heard or not being taken seriously\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\nYou are angry about the injustices of this world\nYou are angry about women being subjected to violence\nYou are angry about the current situation regarding the overexploitation of the Earth\n\nHow you may benefit from this work: \nBetter Boundary Setting \n– Feeling anger helps you to understand where your boundaries lie\, and through this process\, you strengthen your ability to say NO. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\n\n\n\n\nECSTATIC DANCE LONDON presents: PRANA MYSTIC – an evening of Mystical & Uplifting Dance Music\, Cacao Ceremony & Fruit Social 7pm-9:45pm – Global Bass | Ethno-Fusion Folktronica | Shamanic Soundscapes\nWHAT IS “PRANA MYSTIC” ALL ABOUT?\nMany of us know that certain music genres can take us into deep states of bliss. tuning us to aspects of ourselves that we have lost touch with.

Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration\, connection\, fun\, healing\, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance. \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance. The Practice: freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music\, the community and our own inner space direct our steps\, our movements\, our expression\, our journey. Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:\nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers. \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you\, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness? Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\n\n\nANY QUESTIONS?

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.” – Seth Newman \nAs a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. He integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is very passionate about rhythm & drumming\, has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years\, created URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians and started his journey as an avid DJ with a love for Afro-Beat\, Cuban and Brazilian music and created an Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth has a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms and other movement and Ecstatic Dance practices. \nURUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts – offering a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices. \n\n\n\nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n⋘ ─ ∗TRANCE DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM (no entry after 12pm) \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go. \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nWe all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is inside us! \nCACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL \nWe will set our intentions for Trance Dance with ceremonial grade cacao. Our Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best\, velvety tasting cacao in town for sure!). She uses ethically sourced\, highest quality ingredients from Guatemala\, directly from a reliable cacao bean farmer. This rich velvety elixir is a doorway to the heart\, celebrated and honoured by the Incas\, Aztecs\, Mayans and in many ancient traditions. Cacao\, chocolate in its purest form\, is a heart opening & totally natural NON-psychedelic medicine\, containing an abundance of nutritional goodness & natural happy chemicals. \nRelease what no longer serves you\, and invite in what you want more of in your life! \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, 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” \n“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!” \n“It was a very powerful\, letting go\, ritual experience. Brilliant!” \n“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!” \n“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 body was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman to create this fantastic dance\, it has helped me lot after a hard week. May Love connect us all. xxx” \n“Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ RAGE RITUAL™ – Unlock & Activate Your ROAR! ∗ ─ ⋙\n3:30PM-5:45PM (no entry after 3:45pm) \nWhat is Rage Ritual™? \nThis is a workshop designed to create an environment in which we can release our natural anger & aggression in a safe space\, and in a safe way\, without judgement and with a positive appreciation of our innate power and strength! \nOften in our culture\, we are taught from a very young age\, to hide our emotions and bottle up the anger\, sadness\, and pain that we feel inside. \nRage Ritual™ will teach you how to get in touch with these feelings\, and express your natural emotions in a healthy way\, & in a safe enough space. \nThe Process \nThe Rage Ritual™ process begins with grounding and centering mindfulness practices. The first step is to become embodied and learn how to first come home to the safety within. So it is a very structured workshop designed for you to experience the healing effects of releasing anger and aggression\, transforming it\, like alchemy\, from lead into gold. It can be an incredibly vulnerable experience to allow our internal feelings to be witnessed and released so expect to release emotions\, to cry\, to scream perhaps. \nWe’ll be tapping into our Bioenergetic Alchemy toolkit\, which is rooted in humanistic embodiment practices\, to offer you a powerful container to access and release pent-up feelings\, claim your boundaries\, and step into your power. \nAs the process continues\, we move from the grounding practices to the emotional release exercises\, to begin to express\, the deeply suppressed anger held in the body. \nMany people cry or have epiphanies during this process as emotions and traumas that have been stored for sometimes\, many years can come up. \nOverall\, Rage Ritual can be extremely healing. We know the idea that anger isn’t acceptable in our culture\, and for good reason\, it hasn’t been allowed to be expressed in healthy and safe ways. But holding onto and suppressing anger and aggression can be equally harmful! We need to learn to express our natural emotions in a healthy way & in safe spaces. \nWe have designed this workshop to be as accessible as possible for those who are ready to dive in wholeheartedly\, and ACTIVATE THEIR ROAR! \nStrictly no latecomers! – Sorry\, please arrive on time! Unfortunately\, if you are more than 15 minutes late for the workshop \, you will not be allowed entry (and there can be no refunds\, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. Thank you for understanding – please plan your travel to arrive early to be on time. \nDisclaimer \nWhile this work may have therapeutic benefits\, this is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing significant mental health challenges\, we strongly encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist. \nWhile we do our best to create an environment that feels safe and inclusive\, it is your responsibility to look after your own needs and boundaries. If this is something you struggle with\, or you are concerned about any element of this workshop please contact us in advance. We are very willing to chat and check in about whether this workshop is right for you at this time. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou want to release your anger but don’t know how to or are afraid of doing it alone\nYou feel tensions stuck in your body (neck\, lower back pain\, headaches) that come after episodes of anger\, frustration\,\, or sadness\nYou feel ready to shift stuck patterns\nYou are tired of not being heard or not being taken seriously\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\nYou are angry about the injustices of this world\nYou are angry about women being subjected to violence\nYou are angry about the current situation regarding the overexploitation of the Earth\n\nHow you may benefit from this work: \nBetter Boundary Setting \n– Feeling anger helps you to understand where your boundaries lie\, and through this process\, you strengthen your ability to say NO. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nECSTATIC DANCE LONDON presents: PRANA MYSTIC – an evening of Mystical & Uplifting Dance Music\, Cacao Ceremony & Fruit Social 7pm-9:45pm – Global Bass | Ethno-Fusion Folktronica | Shamanic Soundscapes\nWHAT IS “PRANA MYSTIC” ALL ABOUT?\nMany of us know that certain music genres can take us into deep states of bliss. tuning us to aspects of ourselves that we have lost touch with.

Come along! \nABOUT THE VENUE & SOUND SYSTEM\n– MINISTRY OF SOUND: first opened its doors way back in September 1991. Inspired by New York’s cavernous house venues\, our home was a derelict bus garage in south London – an area that\, at the time\, was more infamous than famous. The first night had no alcohol\, three flashing lights\, moody security and unless you knew the names of at least half-a-dozen Chicago house DJs\, you were never getting through the menacing\, prison-like\, gates. Despite these eccentricities\, the night was a success and within a matter of weeks\, word had spread that something special had landed smack bang in the middle of London’s club scene. This was the first club dedicated to house music\, the first club to pick up the gauntlet laid down by the second summer of love and\, most importantly\, the world’s first nightclub with a room built purely for exceptional sound quality. \n-SOUND SYSTEM: To this day sound is still at the forefront of everything the Ministry of Sound does. Put simply\, there is no better place on earth to hear the world’s greatest DJs play the world’s best music! The club’s main space – the Box was designed to make sound quality paramount\, with towering speaker stacks\, several million watts of bass and triple-thick absorbing walls. The club boasts a 64-speaker\, 22-channel sound-system with a ring of six bespoke Martin Audio ground stacks positioned around the dancefloor of The Box. Basically\, you have to experience The Box in person to appreciate just how unique it is! 🙂 \n\n\n\n\nWHAT IS “ECSTATIC DISCO” ALL ABOUT?\nDisco embodies the essence of ecstatic dance. It’s fun\, liberating and light-hearted. and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Ecstatic Dance is seriously infectious\, so be warned: this night might change your life! \nCome and dance to OPEN-UP\, to release city stress\, dance in more light and joy\, and make new friends – all accompanied by a liberating & empowering disco/ funk/house soundtrack with DJ Seth Newman\, to connect us deeply with our dance\, our body\, our hearts\, and our creativity! \nWe’ll be including delicious ceremonial grade cacao and a beautiful cacao ceremony/guided meditation facilitated by Seth to connect us with our body\, our hearts and positive intention. \nNo prior experience of dance necessary.

As a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is passionate about the healing-trance qualities of rhythm & afro percussion\, he has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years\, created the URUBU Collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians\, and started his journey as an avid DJ with a love for Afro-Beat\, Cuban and Brazilian music and created an Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth has a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms\, Trance Dance and other movement\, and Ecstatic Dance practices. \nURUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts – offering a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices. \n\n\n\nWHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?\nMUSIC – MOVEMENT – COMMUNITY! \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance. We love music. We love to inspire\, to connect\, to heal and transform! \nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. Move your body\, unleash the wild dancing self without caring what people think\, claim your freedom\, open your heart & touch the infinite! \nOur Ecstatic Dance classes create a safe and respectful environment that embraces ‘all ways’. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration\, connection\, fun\, healing\, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance. \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave.

Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:\nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers. \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you\, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness? Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\n\n\nANY QUESTIONS?

No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor.

Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you\, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness? Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\n\n\nANY QUESTIONS?
