Unfortunately\, if you are more than 10 minutes late\, you will not be allowed entry (and there can be no refunds if you are more than 10 minutes late\, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. \n2) Our sessions are designed to be calm and restful. We welcome everyone to our sound journey sessions and aim to make them accessible and comfortable for all. \n– If you are feeling unwell with a potentially contagious illness\, please rest at home and pass your ticket to a friend or family member. \n–If you have any accessibility needs or a health condition\, including those that may cause a persistent non-contagious cough (e.g.\,asthma or allergies)\, you are welcome to attend – we simply ask you to let us know via email in advance so we can plan for a comfortable experience for all. \n-We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone showing symptoms of an infectious illness\, including a new cough. This is to protect vulnerable attendees and maintain a peaceful environment. \n3) Please only arrive 5 minutes before the start of the session\, as there is no waiting room at the venue\, we won’t be able to allow early entrace in order to prepare for the session. \n4) Clothing: Please wear a sleeved shirt that covers the armpits and leggings or yoga trousers that cover your knees. Wear form-fitting clothing. Please do not wear baggy clothing as they can snag and catch on the sling’s fabric causing accidents.

These items can snag and damage the silk hammocks. \n5) Weight limit is up 300 pounds (140kg) per hammock. \n6) This session is not suitable for people with pacemakers and other therapeutic electronic devices or persons suffering from severe mental health issues due to the vibratory nature of the session.

It is believed that there are many positive and beneficial effects to be gained from relaxation and healing sounds to the growing foetus.

Please seek advice from your GP if you have any concerns prior to attending our session. \nCANCELLATION POLICY:\nAll tickets are non-refundable. Last minute refunds/ticket transfers are not available as we need to have enough time to fill the space left – at least 1 week’s notice.

The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe\, suspended in the air\, slowly rocking\, with the gentle breath meditation\, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support\, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.” – Navpreet \n\n\n\n\nWHY HAMMOCKS? ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH\nTwo new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. \n“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies\, and often ourselves\, to sleep\,” says lead author on the new paper\, Konstantinos Kompotis\, at the University of Lausanne\, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.” \nDr Michael J Breus\, a Certified Sleep Specialist\, states that it’s the simplest of soothing\, sleep-inducing remedies\, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. \nBut why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions\, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock\, can soothe anxiety. Dr. Herbert Benson\, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute\, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate\, blood pressure\, and muscle tension. \nThe gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically\, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research\,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. \nWe all instinctively know about the power of a soothing\, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation. \n\n\n\n\nORGANIZER/ FACILITATOR/ MUSICIAN\n💙Diana (Dee):\nLINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/deebestproductions \nTrained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK in 2007 to study contemporary music\, Dee carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision. A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond. Through her singing\, her intention is to guide you on a journey of reconnection and self-discovery\, reuniting you with the source of who you are! \nShe is passionate about bringing practices of rest and embodiment to others\, has trained in 1:1 and multiple-handed Lomi Lomi bodywork and also offers sauna venik rituals. \nDee also has a keen interest in making delicious raw chocolates and raw cacao drinks for events & private clients.

Seth and Dee create a calm\, magical space where you receive natural healing energy of relaxation and music. Flowing gently in the light hammock helps to recreate the atmosphere in the womb or in early childhood when you are loved\, safe and protected. This experience will bring you healing on several levels: physical\, emotional\, mental\, relaxation\, connection to your inner self and your angels. Many thanks for organising such a unique and absolutely fulfilling experience. I will definitely come again.” – M.Zhuravleva \n“Thank you so much Seth and Dee –  I felt so comfortable in the hammocks\, I was worried that I might be claustrophobic as it looks tighter in the picture but not at all\, the material feels great and you can breathe freely.  The music and singing were great and brought up emotions & different states: somewhere I actually forgot where I was.  Also had some physical trembling in my body and movement of energy\, which surprised me.  I left the session feeling relaxed and expanded and very present!  Woke up feeling good in my body and very rested.  A lovely experience.” – Alexandra \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.”  – Navpreet \n“Words are inadequate to express the uniquely nurturing experience I had during your class… and the music was amazing! The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe\, suspended in the air\, slowly rocking\, with the gentle breath meditation\, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support\, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison \n“This was one of the most powerful things I have done in ages. It has really shifted something for me. This morning I keep bursting into giggles! Thank you so much to Seth and everyone else who held the space.” \n“Powerful stuff. Highly recommend giving it a go.” \n“What an incredible time I had last night! When I arrived\, I was feeling very low and in my head. The Bioenergetic Alchemy session brought me back to my body and allowed me to connect to some suppressed sadness. I feel alive\, connected and expanded. I cannot put into words my deep gratitude for this experience!“ \n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT TO BRING:\n1. Loose-fitting clothes that let you move your body and free yourself.

ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH\nTwo new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. \n“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies\, and often ourselves\, to sleep\,” says lead author on the new paper\, Konstantinos Kompotis\, at the University of Lausanne\, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.” \nDr Michael J Breus\, a Certified Sleep Specialist\, states that it’s the simplest of soothing\, sleep-inducing remedies\, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. \nBut why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions\, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock\, can soothe anxiety.  Dr. Herbert Benson\, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute\, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate\, blood pressure\, and muscle tension. \nThe gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically\, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research\,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. \nWe all instinctively know about the power of a soothing\, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation. \n\n\n\n\nFACILITATORS\, VENUE\, PRICES:\n\n\n\nSeth Newman: 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.

The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe\, suspended in the air\, slowly rocking\, with the gentle breath meditation\, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support\, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.” – Navpreet \n\n\n\n\nWHY HAMMOCKS? ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH\nTwo new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. \n“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies\, and often ourselves\, to sleep\,” says lead author on the new paper\, Konstantinos Kompotis\, at the University of Lausanne\, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.” \nDr Michael J Breus\, a Certified Sleep Specialist\, states that it’s the simplest of soothing\, sleep-inducing remedies\, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. \nBut why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions\, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock\, can soothe anxiety. Dr. Herbert Benson\, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute\, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate\, blood pressure\, and muscle tension. \nThe gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically\, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research\,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. \nWe all instinctively know about the power of a soothing\, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation. \n\n\n\n\nORGANIZER/ FACILITATOR/ MUSICIAN\n💙Diana (Dee):\nLINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/deebestproductions \nTrained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK in 2007 to study contemporary music\, Dee carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision. A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond.

ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH\nTwo new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. \n“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies\, and often ourselves\, to sleep\,” says lead author on the new paper\, Konstantinos Kompotis\, at the University of Lausanne\, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.” \nDr Michael J Breus\, a Certified Sleep Specialist\, states that it’s the simplest of soothing\, sleep-inducing remedies\, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. \nBut why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions\, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock\, can soothe anxiety.  Dr. Herbert Benson\, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute\, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate\, blood pressure\, and muscle tension. \nThe gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically\, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research\,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. \nWe all instinctively know about the power of a soothing\, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation. \n\n\n\n\nFACILITATORS\, VENUE\, PRICES:\n\n\n\nSeth Newman: 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. In addition to guiding people on their life journeys\, he enjoys helping clients design lifestyles of optimal health and balance with creative living practices. Seth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations. \n\n\n\nDiana Upite: Trained in classical music from a young age\, and later in contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision. A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond. Diana is passionate about bringing practices of rest and embodiment to others and her intention is to guide you on a journey of reconnection and self-discovery\, reuniting you with the source of who you are. She is a co-founder of London Aerial Relaxation Pods and co-creator of many wellbeing classes\, workshops and retreats. \nVenue & Address: The Skylight Centre\, 49 Corsica St\, Highbury East\, London N5 1JT (closest Station Highbury & Islington) \nTime: 7:15pm – 8:30pm or 8:45pm-10pm (Please check which session you have booked and please arrive 5 min before the start of the session as there is no waiting room). \nStrictly no latecomers! – Sorry\, please arrive on time!

The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe\, suspended in the air\, slowly rocking\, with the gentle breath meditation\, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support\, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.”  – Navpreet \n\n\n\n\nInstagram: @aerialrelaxationpods \nFacebook: www.facebook.com/AerialRelaxationPods \nPrivate & Corporate: book a private session for 19 participants at our venue or we can come to you with our portable set up for max 28 participants. \nEmail : Seth & Dee: aerialrelaxationpods@gmail.com or info@ecstaticdancelondon.com \nSEE ALL OUR UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events \nWe look forward to welcoming you!

ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH\nTwo new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. \n“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies\, and often ourselves\, to sleep\,” says lead author on the new paper\, Konstantinos Kompotis\, at the University of Lausanne\, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.” \nDr Michael J Breus\, a Certified Sleep Specialist\, states that it’s the simplest of soothing\, sleep-inducing remedies\, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. \nBut why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions\, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock\, can soothe anxiety.  Dr. Herbert Benson\, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute\, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate\, blood pressure\, and muscle tension. \nThe gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically\, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research\,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. \nWe all instinctively know about the power of a soothing\, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation. \n\n\n\n\nFACILITATORS\, VENUE\, PRICES:\n\n\n\nSeth Newman: 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.

Seth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations. \n\n\n\nDiana Upite: Trained in classical music from a young age\, and later in contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision. A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond.

The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe\, suspended in the air\, slowly rocking\, with the gentle breath meditation\, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support\, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great!

ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH\nTwo new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. \n“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies\, and often ourselves\, to sleep\,” says lead author on the new paper\, Konstantinos Kompotis\, at the University of Lausanne\, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.” \nDr Michael J Breus\, a Certified Sleep Specialist\, states that it’s the simplest of soothing\, sleep-inducing remedies\, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. \nBut why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions\, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock\, can soothe anxiety.  Dr. Herbert Benson\, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute\, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate\, blood pressure\, and muscle tension. \nThe gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically\, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research\,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. \nWe all instinctively know about the power of a soothing\, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation. \n\n\n\n\nFACILITATORS\, VENUE\, PRICES:\n\n\n\nSeth Newman: 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.

The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe\, suspended in the air\, slowly rocking\, with the gentle breath meditation\, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support\, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.”  – Navpreet \n\n\n\n\nInstagram: @aerialrelaxationpods \nFacebook: www.facebook.com/AerialRelaxationPods \nPrivate & Corporate: book a private session for 19 participants at our venue or we can come to you with our portable set up for max 28 participants. \nEmail : Seth & Dee: aerialrelaxationpods@gmail.com or info@ecstaticdancelondon.com \nSEE ALL OUR UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events \nWe look forward to welcoming you!

The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe\, suspended in the air\, slowly rocking\, with the gentle breath meditation\, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support\, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.” – Navpreet \n\n\n\n\nWHY HAMMOCKS? ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH\nTwo new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. \n“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies\, and often ourselves\, to sleep\,” says lead author on the new paper\, Konstantinos Kompotis\, at the University of Lausanne\, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.” \nDr Michael J Breus\, a Certified Sleep Specialist\, states that it’s the simplest of soothing\, sleep-inducing remedies\, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. \nBut why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions\, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock\, can soothe anxiety. Dr. Herbert Benson\, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute\, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate\, blood pressure\, and muscle tension. \nThe gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically\, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research\,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. \nWe all instinctively know about the power of a soothing\, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation. \n\n\n\n\nORGANIZER/ FACILITATOR/ MUSICIAN\n💙Diana (Dee):\nLINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/deebestproductions \nTrained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK in 2007 to study contemporary music\, Dee carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision. A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond.

After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body.

The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe\, suspended in the air\, slowly rocking\, with the gentle breath meditation\, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support\, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.” – Navpreet \n\n\n\n\nWHY HAMMOCKS? ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH\nTwo new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. \n“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies\, and often ourselves\, to sleep\,” says lead author on the new paper\, Konstantinos Kompotis\, at the University of Lausanne\, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.” \nDr Michael J Breus\, a Certified Sleep Specialist\, states that it’s the simplest of soothing\, sleep-inducing remedies\, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. \nBut why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions\, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock\, can soothe anxiety. Dr. Herbert Benson\, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute\, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate\, blood pressure\, and muscle tension. \nThe gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically\, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research\,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. \nWe all instinctively know about the power of a soothing\, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation. \n\n\n\n\nORGANIZER/ FACILITATOR/ MUSICIAN\n💙Diana (Dee):\nLINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/deebestproductions \nTrained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK in 2007 to study contemporary music\, Dee carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision. A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond.

Seth and Dee create a calm\, magical space where you receive natural healing energy of relaxation and music. Flowing gently in the light hammock helps to recreate the atmosphere in the womb or in early childhood when you are loved\, safe and protected. This experience will bring you healing on several levels: physical\, emotional\, mental\, relaxation\, connection to your inner self and your angels. Many thanks for organising such a unique and absolutely fulfilling experience. I will definitely come again.” – M.Zhuravleva \n“Thank you so much Seth and Dee –  I felt so comfortable in the hammocks\, I was worried that I might be claustrophobic as it looks tighter in the picture but not at all\, the material feels great and you can breathe freely.  The music and singing were great and brought up emotions & different states: somewhere I actually forgot where I was.  Also had some physical trembling in my body and movement of energy\, which surprised me.  I left the session feeling relaxed and expanded and very present!  Woke up feeling good in my body and very rested.  A lovely experience.” – Alexandra \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting.

It has really shifted something for me. This morning I keep bursting into giggles! Thank you so much to Seth and everyone else who held the space.” \n“Powerful stuff. Highly recommend giving it a go.” \n“What an incredible time I had last night! When I arrived\, I was feeling very low and in my head.

The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe\, suspended in the air\, slowly rocking\, with the gentle breath meditation\, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support\, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.” – Navpreet \n\n\n\n\nWHY HAMMOCKS? ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH\nTwo new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. \n“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies\, and often ourselves\, to sleep\,” says lead author on the new paper\, Konstantinos Kompotis\, at the University of Lausanne\, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.” \nDr Michael J Breus\, a Certified Sleep Specialist\, states that it’s the simplest of soothing\, sleep-inducing remedies\, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. \nBut why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions\, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock\, can soothe anxiety. Dr. Herbert Benson\, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute\, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate\, blood pressure\, and muscle tension. \nThe gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically\, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research\,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. \nWe all instinctively know about the power of a soothing\, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation. \n\n\n\n\nORGANIZER/ FACILITATOR/ MUSICIAN\n💙Diana (Dee):\nLINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/deebestproductions \nTrained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK in 2007 to study contemporary music\, Dee carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision. A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond.

A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.” – Navpreet \n\n\n\n\nWHY HAMMOCKS? ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH\nTwo new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. \n“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies\, and often ourselves\, to sleep\,” says lead author on the new paper\, Konstantinos Kompotis\, at the University of Lausanne\, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.” \nDr Michael J Breus\, a Certified Sleep Specialist\, states that it’s the simplest of soothing\, sleep-inducing remedies\, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. \nBut why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions\, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock\, can soothe anxiety. Dr. Herbert Benson\, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute\, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate\, blood pressure\, and muscle tension. \nThe gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically\, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research\,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. \nWe all instinctively know about the power of a soothing\, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation. \n\n\n\n\nORGANIZER/ FACILITATOR/ MUSICIAN\n💙Diana (Dee):\nLINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/deebestproductions \nTrained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK in 2007 to study contemporary music\, Dee carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision. A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond.

It is known as Bioenergetic Alchemy™ and has its origins in the bodywork philosophies that emerged originally from Alexander Lowen and John Peirrakos (the founders of Bioenergetics) and their interpretations of Reich\, Freud and Jung.\nSo in teaching Bioenergetic Alchemy™\, I am deeply grateful for all of my tutors\, trainers and therapists. \nI first discovered Bioenergetics in group therapy sessions in Pune\, India in 1994-96. And in the Active Meditations of the Indian Mystic Osho. I later deepened my knowledge of Bioenergetics with my therapists & teachers Guy Gladstone and Amadis Camell at the Open Centre\, the longest-running personal growth centre in the UK. \nI teach today an adaptation and development of my studies over the course of 8 years of therapy and trainings at the Open Centre. I am still developing this profound body of work\, and continue my studies. \nAs a coach\, I’m dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. \nI’ve been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. \n“Words are inadequate to express the uniquely nurturing experience I had during your Breathwork class… and the music was amazing! “ – Alison \nOur Bionergetic Alchemy video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOrELWRAqkU \nTHE EVOLUTION OF BREATHWORK \nA variety of Conscious Connected Breathwork schools have evolved. With breathwork at their core\, they also combine a unique set of additional healing modalities\, including: sound\, bodywork and/or therapeutic touch\, water\, affirmations and coaching. Some psychotherapeutic modalities are: Rebirthing\, Bioenergetic Breath\, Transformational Breath® and Holotropic\, Integrative and Shamanic Breathwork. \nTHE BASICS OF CONSCIOUS CONNECTED BREATHWORK \nWhile many Conscious Connected Breathwork techniques have unique features and frameworks\, the majority include 5 universal components: \n\nNo pauses between the inhale and the exhale;\nActive inhale into the belly with relaxed expansion of the chest;\nThe exhale is passive (no forcing the air out);\nThe inhale and exhale is done through the same channel (mouth or nose);\nAn active intention that holds the breather\, as well as the breath itself\, as having an innate healing capacity.\n\nCCB \nConscious Connected Breathwork is a conscious\, intentional breathing pattern in which the inhale and the exhale are connected without any pauses. \nIt can: \n\nCreate changes in your physiology (e.g. alkalinity vs. acidity);\nIncrease your awareness of Self;\nProvide an opportunity for profound personal development;\nCreate altered states of consciousness. It can be practiced alone\, in a group or feel free to a book a one-on-one session with Seth.\n\nSeth Newman – Breathwork Facilitator \nMy role of the breathwork facilitator is to;1.) help you become aware of what is going on in your body; 2.) offer suggestions to support the process; 3.) help you maintain the breathing technique; 4.) observe you and provide general feedback; 5.) to alert you to signs of resistance; 6.) offer affirmations or remind you of your intention; 7.) suggest therapeutic touch or movement; 8.) mirror your breath or movements; 9.) help you to engage your body so that you can connect with your feelings\, remain grounded and present. \nLimitless Benefits:\nBreathwork has profound benefits and is an on-going practice.\nPracticing Bioenergetic Breathwork enables you to…. \n1) Oxygenate\n2) Restore\n3) Detox\n4) Gain Clarity\n6) Express suppressed emotions\n7) Release old tensions\n8) Amplify Energy\n9) Expand awareness\n10) Remove negative blocks\n11) Forgive past occurrences\n12) Feel empowered\n13) Cultivate inspiration\n14) Settle into a deep relaxed state\n15) Tap into your truest you\n16) To take a moment\, and really\, just really breathe. \nFeedback from our events: \n“A wonderful session\, very recommended! Seth and Dee create a calm\, magical space where you receive natural healing energy of relaxation and music. Flowing gently in the light hammock helps to recreate the atmosphere in the womb or in early childhood when you are loved\, safe and protected. This experience will bring you healing on several levels: physical\, emotional\, mental\, relaxation\, connection to your inner self and your angels. Many thanks for organising such a unique and absolutely fulfilling experience. I will definitely come again.” – M.Zhuravleva \n“Thank you so much Seth and Dee – I felt so comfortable in the hammocks\, I was worried that I might be claustrophobic as it looks tighter in the picture but not at all\, the material feels great and you can breathe freely. The music and singing were great and brought up emotions & different states: somewhere I actually forgot where I was. Also had some physical trembling in my body and movement of energy\, which surprised me. I left the session feeling relaxed and expanded and very present! Woke up feeling good in my body and very rested. A lovely experience.” – Alexandra \n“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax\, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially\, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes\, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears\, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience\, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.” – Navpreet \n“Words are inadequate to express the uniquely nurturing experience I had during your Aerial Relaxation Pod class… and the music was amazing! The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe\, suspended in the air\, slowly rocking\, with the crystal bowls and ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support\, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Marrianne \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU WILL NEED:\n1. Please come already dressed in comfortable clothing suitable for movement/fitness and dress in layers. \n2 . Yoga mats\, blankets & cushions provided. \n3. a Reusable water bottle. Tap water refill available at the venue. \n4.

ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH\nTwo new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea. \n“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies\, and often ourselves\, to sleep\,” says lead author on the new paper\, Konstantinos Kompotis\, at the University of Lausanne\, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.” \nDr Michael J Breus\, a Certified Sleep Specialist\, states that it’s the simplest of soothing\, sleep-inducing remedies\, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep. \nBut why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions\, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock\, can soothe anxiety.  Dr. Herbert Benson\, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute\, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate\, blood pressure\, and muscle tension. \nThe gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically\, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland\, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research\,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation. \nWe all instinctively know about the power of a soothing\, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation. \n\n\n\n\nFACILITATORS\, VENUE\, PRICES:\nFacilitators: \nSeth Newman: 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.

This is followed by relaxation. The immediate result is a felt sense of security\, vibrancy and exhilaration.” – Seth Newman \nVarious spiritual teachings\, such as A Course in Miracles\, say that there are only two fundamental emotions: love and fear. If we can begin to safely & gently release tension\, shock & fear from the body\, we then open to an experience of the body in its natural state\, deeply relaxed\, at ease\, and with a sense of peace and wellbeing.

Awareness can lead to greater health and well-being\, creativity\, choice\, and responsibility. Through developing awareness\, the often hidden sources of inner knowledge\, creativity\, intuitive wisdom\, and healing can be contacted. And most of us need help in contacting and learning to trust our inner mentors and healers\, few of us have been encouraged to do this in the past. \nI see the primary role of my work as a humanistic psychology practitioner & embodiment coach to be that of facilitating participants in the process of discovering their innate wisdom and potential for healing\, growth\, and creativity\, and supporting them as they learn to trust\, use wisely and celebrate those innate powers. \nMy fundamental belief is that the deepest\, ultimate nature of each individual is essentially loving\, wise\, compassionate\, and full of joy. \n“In a culture that is primarily oriented towards mental and verbal processing and communication\, as ours is\, bringing awareness to the subtleties of bodily processes\, sensations\, and unconscious movement patterns offers a particularly powerful way into accessing the lost or hidden messages of the unconscious…” – Linda Hartley \nOur body’s own innate intelligence and healing powers can be accessed through Bioenergetics and somatic movement processes. Working with the body is an effective approach for many people. This is especially so in our modern culture where historically the body has been repressed and disavowed… \nUltimately\, the seeds of healing\, wisdom\, and transformation can be most directly contacted through unlocking the innate powers within. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Bioenergetic Alchemy® Workshop∗ ─ ⋙\n10:45am-1:30pm\nWhat Is Bioenergetic Alchemy®? \nBioenergetic Alchemy® is a very powerful body-mind approach to psychological\, physical and emotional health and well-being. \nBioenergetic Alchemy® works to melt the frozen history in the body\, through a series of gentle and powerful exercises\, bringing to consciousness the holding patterns\, and releasing the energy that has been blocked. Tense areas of the body are gradually opened so that the energy can begin to move more freely\, allowing the body to regain its natural aliveness and vitality\, harmonising the relationship between the body\, mind and spirit. \nAt the personal level\, the highly experiential nature of Bioenergetic Alchemy® is a catalyst for transformation\, as participants work in the laboratory of their own process and their relationship to others. The work opens the heart\, brings grounded empowerment to the personality\, and a deeper connection to the core; center of your authentic self. \nThese Bioenergetic Alchemy™ sessions are for individuals interested in their own self-development and/or healing processes. The classes offer deep experiential learning about the body-mind and participants are encouraged to develop skills in present-moment listening\, sensing\, and emotional/feeling awareness related to the body-mind. \nThe class is an experiential\, deep-dive into yourself and your relationship with your body\, and your life energy! \nFeedback from our previous workshops: \n“Thank you Seth. The weekend was an exceptional experience of deep healing\, awakening\, and opening. I feel so light\, peaceful\, and full of Love. Through the journey we took\, I touched some of my wounds\, gently but deeply releasing and healing what was ready to be alchemised. Thank you to all the other lovely participants. Please organise the next one soon :-)” Tanja \n“A truly awesome experience. A wonderful and safe space to learn and experience bioenergetic alchemy. Thanks again to Seth for the expert guidance and support.” Amo \n“Like the Bioenergetic Alchemy classes\, but better. The weekend gave me the opportunity to go deeper into my body and discover new experiences which I hadn’t been able to tap into before. It was a good mix of different exercises\, and I had a really blissful experience with the breathwork.” Vijay \n” I feel so grateful I had the opportunity to attend this weekend event. I felt that Seth\, through his presence\, allowing\, way of being\, created a very unique\, safe space in which I could release\, discover\, explore and meet different aspects of myself. I was amazed how during the two days I was – often unexpectedly and gently – led to bring forth and embrace a child\, an ancient woman\, an animal\, a spoiled brat\, a mother\, a lover\, a goddess… Also through Seth’s guidance and suggestions I felt within very short spaces of time both my immense sorrow/yearning/pain and my immense joy/gratitude\, realising how close to each other these seemingly opposites are. Today I feel a more solid belonging in the world\, and a heightened awareness of the soles of my feet on the floor\, like the earth was more magnetic!” Maria \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Breath of Love – Breathwork Journey∗ ─ ⋙\n2:30pm-4:30pm\nUnlimited Benefits: \nBreathwork has profound benefits\, and is an ongoing practice. \nPracticing Breathwork enables you to…… \n1) Oxygenate 2) Restore 3) Detox 4) Gain Clarity 5) Express suppressed emotions 6) Release old tensions 7) Amplify Energy 8) Expand awareness 9) Remove negative blocks 10) Forgive past occurrences 11) Feel empowered 12) Cultivate inspiration13) Settle into a deep relaxed state 14) Tap into your truest you \nTechnical Aspects of Bioenergetic Breathwork: \nThere are a few key parts to the breathing pattern: \n1. It is conscious\, so you are very aware of the fact you are breathing \n2. It is connected; so that the natural pause between the inhale and exhale is merged\, creating a continuous loop of breath. \n3. It is relaxed\, meaning the exhale is relaxed\, and there is an emphasis on the inhale. \n4. It is open\, meaning it is performed with a wide open mouth. \n5. It is deep\, meaning you are breathing fully into the lower belly\, and all the way up into the chest. \nWhat a typical session looks like: \nAfter some initial warm-up movements\, stretches\, and grounding exercises. You will be invited to lie on a yoga mat and breathe for about an 3/4 of an hour\, and in this time we will offer positive affirmations\, as well as support for deeper breathing. We may also use hands-on bodywork to enhance a deeper & fuller breath. We will end the session with a final relaxation\, with further guidance and meditation. \nWalking away with a feeling of lightness\, vitality\, and love… \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗AERIAL RELAXATION PODS™∗ ─ ⋙\n5pm-6:15pm\nLondon’s & UK’s first multi-sensory aerial relaxation experience with a short guided meditation\, live ambient music: gongs\, crystal bowls\, tibetan bowl\, vocals\, handpan\, other live instruments and nurturing electronica\, aromatherapy eye pillows and scents\, sky-blue silky aerial hammocks to soothe your stresses away and lift your spirit! \n💙A very unique\, next level floating sound journey experience in hammocks!💙 \n“An oasis of calm in our busy lives.” \nLondoners stressed out by their busy lives can now turn to Aerial Relaxation Pods™ to transform their tension to calm\, and restore the body’s natural healing wisdom. \n“Our pods are here to help Londoners relax. As a former teacher myself\, I am fully aware just how busy and stressed a lot of people are. And most of us just don’t find the time to unwind.

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 passionate about Afro-rhythm & percussion and has studied in the roots of Afro-Brazilian 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 then started his journey as an avid DJ with a love for Afro-Beat\, Cuban and Brazilian music\, and has created the Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗TANTRIC TRANCE DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM \nThrough this transformational dance process\, you will be guided into befriending all the aspects of your Being. Your Embodied Nature as man or woman\, your Heart’s deep longing\, and your personal connection to the Great Mystery. \nThis 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. \nEnter 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. \nThis 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. \n“You are the fusion of Nature and Spirit\, the meeting point of Earth & Sky” \n“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 \n“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 \nThe Tantric Trance Dance process is a unique opportunity to connect with all the wild energies of your Nature\, with your Heart and Spirit. \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.

We love music. We love to inspire\, to connect\, to heal and transform! \nDiscover dance as a moving meditation\, body ritual\, awareness practice & ceremony \nIn our Sunday Ecstatic Dance sessions\, the musical focus will be more of a World/Medicine music\, Afro-House & a Tribal Flow vibe. Our Saturday Ecstatic Dance sessions tend to be more of a celebration with a light-hearted party atmosphere\, in these Sunday Dances\, you’re invited to explore “movement as meditation” with beautiful music to accompany your journey… \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.

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.

A beautiful\, sacred\, heartful and fun dance journey \n3. A safe space for you to dance freely in \n4. Vibrant people who love to dance and love music! \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. If you are more than 30 min late\, arriving after 6:30pm\, we won’t be able to let you join the session\, this is so we can all journey together. \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk to\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the building). 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.) \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 \nNo experience necessary. All welcome. \nCACAO CIRCLE \nAt Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate\, RAW chocolate-CACAO! We will provide complimentary Raw Vegan Cacao to superfood charge your dance with us! \nCacao is the ultimate heart opener\, it will give you energy\, revitalise your BodyMind inviting you to express\, release & unleash your creativity during the dance! \nOur 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. \nJoin us to explore Cacao + Ecstatic Dance as a potent synthesis for Transformation. After the dance warm up we will take a moment to attune and connect to what we are grateful for\, giving thanks for all the abundance in our life. \n\n\n\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\, @urubu_school_of_transformation\, @aerialrelaxationpods \nEmail : youareyoubeyou@gmail.com \n💜SEE ALL OUR UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS ON OUR WEBSITE: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events \nWe look forward to welcoming you! \nECSTATIC DANCE LONDON & URUBU – YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!
