Our 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.\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. \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 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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT IS SHAKING MEDICINE® 5:50PM-7PM (optional workshop before ED)\nShaking Medicine® is seen as one of the “rituals of resilience”. It is way to develop resilience and release and let go of built-up stress\, tension and trauma. It is is a body based (somatic) approach to stress\, tension and trauma release. It helps us to activate shaking\, which despite common misconceptions is a very good thing. Tremoring is our body’s natural stress recovery response. \nPracticing Shaking Medicine® not only helps to bring balance into our bodies (and life!) but releases deep-seated muscular tension\, stress\, and mild trauma. These monthly classes will enable you to understand your nervous system\, and you will have a chance to learn and practice Shaking Medicine® method. \nCome\, shake it off and shake your way to good health! \nShaking Medicine® is sometimes referred to as Bioenergetics or Trauma Release. It is one of the world’s oldest self-help medicines. \nShaking\, rocking\, vibration and oscillation are natural human reactions to: Stress\, Trauma & Ecstatic states. Shaking Medicine® is\, in short\, the healing power of ecstatic movement. Inspired by and brought to us by nature. The practice of Shaking is known by many: Quakers\, Gnostics\, Taoists\, Yoginis\, First Nations peoples\, Sufis\, Druids\, Zen Buddhists and more. \nWe are inspired by teachers such as Peter Levine\, Bradford Keeney\, Osho\, Wilhelm Reich\, Alexander Lowen\, John Peirakkos\, David Bercelli. \n“Trauma recovery work has got to develop a new paradigm\, because the paradigm that we have now is based on post-traumatic stress disorder and you go to a one to one therapist. You cannot do that with large groups of people. So there has got to be a new paradigm shift in the realization of “how do we do recovery from PTSD on a large scale population?” How do we get whole groups of people\, like villages for example\, or an entire school system healed? So that’s the first paradigm shift\, we have to change our concept of PTSD recovery so that we can work on a large scale.” – Dr. David Bercelli \n\n\n\n\nSAFE SPACE: A Shaking Medicine® is an inclusive space focused on supporting each and every one of its participants. Please be respectful of others’ space\, property\, needs\, and process. Any display of antisocial or abusive behaviour will result in removal from the class without a refund. \nPERSONAL SAFETY: A Shaking Medicine® class might not be the most suitable setting for people with severe trauma\, PTSD\, CPTSD\, burnout\, and serious health conditions or those who find it very challenging to self-regulate (unable to calm down when emotionally distressed). It would be more supportive to initially work in individual sessions. \nPREGNANCY: Shaking Medicine is not recommended. \nRECENT INJURIES & SURGERIES: It is best to give your body at least 3 months to heal after a surgery or serious injury before doing Shaking Medicine®. Please contact us via email if you would like to discuss your circumstances but we would advise that consult your doctor. \n\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!

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!

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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS\n💙Seth 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💙Diana Upite (Dee): Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK 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.

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.

This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers. \n1.

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💜 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!

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.

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 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\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💜 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.” – 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 a passionate percussionist specialising in Afro-rhythm & percussion and has studied 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 project with world-renowned 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\, with a little help from his friends\, birthed 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.

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!

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. Ensure that your clothing is “zipper free” and remove all jewellery (body piercings\, watches and hair clips etc). 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. Please seek advice from your GP if you have any concerns prior to attending our session. \n7) Our sound journeys are very gentle and not loud/intense therefore suitable for pregnant women. It is believed that there are many positive and beneficial effects to be gained from relaxation and healing sounds to the growing foetus. The advised healing practice is gentle flowing sounds around the pregnant mother for the beneficial and positive effect of both mother and baby. 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. You are welcome to pass on your ticket to a friend\, colleague or family member. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFEEDBACK FROM OUR SESSIONS:\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“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\n\n\n\n\n\n\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS\n💙Diana Upite (Dee): Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK 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. She enjoyes blending spices to make her signature delicious homemade Chai for events & is experimenting with new flavours! \nShe is a co-creator and co-facilitator of many wellbeing classes\, workshops\, retreats\, festivals that she co-organises with ‘Ecstatic Dance London’ for nearly 10 years. Dee is passionate and dedicated in creating the best possible experiences for attendees. Dee and her awesome team put a lot of care\, love and attention into all the offerings which include Ecstatic Dance\, Cacao\, Chai\, Sound Baths\, Singing\, Retreats\, Festivals\, Sauna Rituals & Lomi-Lomi Bodywork. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCONNECT WITH US/ GIFTCARDS/ PRIVATE & CORPORATE BOOKINGS OR BOOK 1:1 SESSIONS\n🎁GIFT CARDS Give a Gift or Relaxation: Buy Sound Journey Voucher\n \nBook a private sessions for groups of 19 participants in hammocks plus additional 8 spaces on yoga mats\, all sessions take place at our venue or we can come to you with our portable hammock set up (max 28 participants) or yoga mat set up (max 50 participants). \nEMAIL: aerialrelaxationpods@gmail.com OR info@ecstaticdancelondon.com \n💜SEE ALL OUR UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS & FESTIVALS:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @aerialrelaxationpods\, @ecstaticdance_london\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/AerialRelaxationPods \nWe look forward to welcoming you!

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💜 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!

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\nDJ & FACILITATOR:\n◈ Sessions are facilitated and DJed by Seth Newman – the pioneer of Ecstatic Dance in the UK since 2009! \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.

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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS\n💙Seth 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💙Diana Upite (Dee): Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK 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.

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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS\n💙Seth 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💙Diana Upite (Dee): Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK 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.

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.

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💜 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!

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!

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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS\n💙Seth 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💙Diana Upite (Dee): Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK 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.

SUMMARY:Shaking Medicine® Stress Release System @ the Round Chapel\, Hackney
DESCRIPTION:Shaking Medicine® – Stress Release & Active Meditation @ the Round Chapel in Hackney – a Revolutionary Way to Feel Good & Shake Out STRESS! TICKETS ON EVENTBRITE. \n\n\nSHAKING MEDICINE® @ the Round Chapel\, Hackney\nJoin us for these monthly Stress Release & Active Meditation sessions for Self-Development and Personal Growth. Powerful exercises for releasing stress\, and returning the body to its natural\, relaxed state. \nShaking Medicine® workshop 5:50pm-7pm and option to stay on for Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Ceremony 7:15pm-10pm. Bring balance into our bodies & life\, release deep-seated muscular tension and stress. A unique dance-movement-meditation experience here in London in a stunning Grade II listed venue! An awesome dance space with sound system & headphones! \nUPCOMING 2025 DATES: \n\nOctober 8 (Full Moon)\nNovember 5 (Full Moon)\nDecember 10 \n\nBOOK HERE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shaking-medicine-stress-release-system-the-round-chapel-hackney-tickets-504368578997\nWHAT IS SHAKING MEDICINE®?\nShaking Medicine® is seen as one of the “rituals of resilience”. It is a way to develop resilience and release and let go of built-up stress\, tension\, and trauma. Shaking Medicine® is a body-based (somatic) approach to stress\, tension\, and trauma release. \nBENEFITS OF REGULAR PRACTICE:\nPracticing Shaking Medicine® not only helps to bring balance into our bodies (and life!) but releases deep-seated muscular tension\, stress\, and mild trauma. These monthly classes will enable you to understand your nervous system\, and you will have a chance to learn and practice the Shaking Medicine® method. \nCome\, shake it off and shake your way to good health! \nShaking Medicine® is sometimes referred to as Bioenergetics or Trauma Release. It is one of the world’s oldest self-help medicines. \nShaking\, rocking\, vibration and oscillation are natural human reactions to: Stress\, Trauma & Ecstatic states. Shaking Medicine® is\, in short\, the healing power of ecstatic movement. Inspired by and brought to us by nature. The practice of Shaking is known by many: Quakers\, Gnostics\, Taoists\, Yoginis\, First Nations peoples\, Sufis\, Druids\, Zen Buddhists and more. \nWe are inspired by teachers such as Peter Levine\, Bradford Keeney\, Osho\, Wilhelm Reich\, Alexander Lowen\, John Peirakkos\, David Bercelli. \n“Trauma recovery work has got to develop a new paradigm\, because the paradigm that we have now is based on post-traumatic stress disorder and you go to a one to one therapist. You cannot do that with large groups of people. So there has got to be a new paradigm shift in the realization of “how do we do recovery from PTSD on a large scale population?” How do we get whole groups of people\, like villages for example\, or an entire school system healed? So that’s the first paradigm shift\, we have to change our concept of PTSD recovery so that we can work on a large scale.” \n– Dr. David Bercelli \nBelow is our video: \n \n\n\n\n\nVENUE:\nRound Chapel\, 1D Glenarm Rd\, Lower Clapton\, London E5 0LY\, United Kingdom \n(ENTRY on Lower Clapton Road\, big round building\, look for Ecstatic Dance sign on the door) \n-Overground: the nearest station is Hackney Central.

In our work\, meditation is not concentration\, but relaxation. You will simply relax into the shaking. Simply relaxing into yourself. The more you relax\, the more you feel yourself open and flexible. Relaxation means falling into such a strong state where you are not doing anything\, you simply relax into the shaking. \nShaking Medicine® is an organic\, dynamic\, rejuvenating practice that fuses the elements of movement and stillness to get you out of your head and into your body. \nThis practice supports and inspires instinctual intelligence – a conduit for self-healing through accessing the body’s nervous system for a safe\, natural\, well-being experience. \nAs we shake\, we remember how to let go of control and all effort\, we relax\, allowing ourselves to let go of anxieties and stress to help regulate emotions and develop greater resilience. \nIn this class\, you can expect to enhance your strength and flexibility\, improve your energy levels\, heal injuries through the stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system\, reduce inflammation\, improve your sleep\, create energetic and emotional hygiene for overall well-being\, promoting balance and harmony on a deep level. \nThe music will support the experience. We end with a relaxation stage where you are invited to lay down\, relax and let your whole Body-Mind system rest. \nExpect to expect nothing but what naturally arises and unravels as you tune in to what is real for you in any given moment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShaking Medicine® – a Ritual of Resilience!\nWHAT YOU WILL NEED:\n1. Please come already dressed in comfortable clothing suitable for movement/fitness and dress in layers. Bring a set of dry clothes/small towel as you will probably get sweaty during the session. \n2. Yoga mat & blanket. Blindfolds will be provided. Now when it’s getting colder perhaps a pair of socks and an extra layer so that you are comfortable. \n3. a Reusable water bottle. Tap water refill available at the venue. \n4. A healthy snack to have after the session. \nSAFE SPACE \nThis class is an inclusive space focused on supporting each and every one of its participants. Please be respectful of others’ space\, property\, needs\, and process. Any display of antisocial or abusive behaviour will result in removal from the class without a refund. \nPERSONAL SAFETY \nA Shaking Medicine® class might not be the most suitable setting for people with severe trauma\, PTSD\, CPTSD\, burnout\, and serious health conditions or those who find it very challenging to self-regulate (unable to calm down when emotionally distressed). It would be more supportive to initially work in individual sessions. 1-to-1 counselling sessions. \nPREGNANCY \nShaking Medicine is not recommended. \nRECENT INJURIES & SURGERIES \nIt is best to give your body at least 3 months to heal after a surgery or serious injury before doing Shaking Medicine®. Please contact us if you would like to discuss your circumstances. \n*PLEASE READ -IMPORTANT: \nShaking Medicine® should not be considered as a substitute for proper medical consultation for physical\, mental and/or psychological illnesses. It may not be suitable for everyone. Shaking can involve some physical strain and a rise in intra-abdominal pressure. \n● Advanced (bleeding) piles ● Any kind of hernia ● Any persistent cough ● Anything with acute symptoms ● Epilepsy\, Heart Disease ● High blood pressure\, Incontinence ● Major psychiatric disorders ● Severe backache ● Or having undergone surgery within the last 3 months \nThis list is for guidance only and is not meant to be exhaustive. If in doubt\, first consult a trained medical professional for guidance. \nPlease feel free to contact us if you need more information. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCAN YOU SHAKE YOUR WAY TO GOOD HEALTH? \nShaking Medicine® is sometimes referred to as Bioenergetic Shaking\, or Kundalini shaking. It is one of the worlds oldest self-help medicines. Shaking\, rocking\, vibration and oscillation are natural human reactions to: Stress\, Trauma & Ecstatic states. We inherently use oscillation as a tool to calm our nervous system. for example\, think of why we rock a crying baby to sleep. \nThe practice of Shaking is known by many: Quakers\, Gnostics\, Taoists\, Yoginis\, First Nations peoples\, Sufis\, Druids\, Zen Buddhists and more. \nShaking Medicine® is a Self-Healing body response to trauma as it can help to clear and release blocks that cause dis-ease. After a shaking the session\, the body naturally shifts to a higher vibration and the shaking brings all of the body systems into balance. \nShaking Medicine® is a wonderful way to let the body really move\, shake up and release stress & tension\, and bring in new fresh energy – revitalising yourself Body Heart & Soul. \nShaking Medicine® is both 1) a contemporary somatic therapy practice for grounding and mobilising the Body-Mind. And 2) an ancient Shamanic technique for achieving non-ordinary states of consciousness – optional blindfolds available! \nHEALTH BENEFITS OF SHAKING: \nOne of the easiest ways to help the body release tension & stress is to shake. The simple act of shaking your body can produce a multitude of health benefits. Although it may seem simple\, it is a very powerful technique. \nThe main purpose of our Shaking Medicine classes is to relax the body and release tension. When we shake the body\, we are relaxing all our joints\, muscles\, tendons and ligaments\, helping us to loosen up and feel relaxed. \nShaking gently bounces our organs and stimulates our lymphatic system. Our lymphatic system is like our bodies draining system and is responsible for the removal of waste material from every cell in the body\, in addition to regulating the immune system. Maintaining a healthy lymphatic system is critical if we want to be radiant and healthy. \nShaking also benefits our circulatory system. Most of us hold on to a lot of tension in the body\, especially around the neck\, shoulders and back area. Poor posture\, sitting on chairs and sofas for extended periods of time\, stress and even negative thought patterns and emotional blockages can all contribute to the build-up stress and tension in the body. We spend our days hunched over computers\, our heads locked on to our iphone screens\, then we go home and slouch on the sofa to watch TV for hours. \nOur fast-paced\, stress-filled lifestyles leave us feeling ‘uptight’ and most of us can never fully relax. If we allow this tension to build up in our bodies if can manifest itself as pain\, stiffness\, inflammation\, and disease. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATOR:\n◈ Sessions are facilitated and DJed by Seth Newman – the pioneer of Ecstatic Dance in the UK since 2009! \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.

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\n5:50pm-7pm SHAKING MEDICINE® (optional workshop\, see ticket types)\nShaking Medicine® Stress Release System for Self-Development and Personal Growth \nJoin us before the dance\, 5:50pm-7pm for Shaking Medicine® session \nWHAT IS SHAKING MEDICINE®?\nShaking Medicine® is seen as one of the “rituals of resilience”. It is way to develop resilience and release and let go of built-up stress\, tension and trauma. It is is a body based (somatic) approach to stress\, tension and trauma release. It helps us to activate shaking\, which despite common misconceptions is a very good thing. Tremoring is our body’s natural stress recovery response. \nPracticing Shaking Medicine® not only helps to bring balance into our bodies (and life!) but releases deep-seated muscular tension\, stress\, and mild trauma. These monthly classes will enable you to understand your nervous system\, and you will have a chance to learn and practice Shaking Medicine® method. \nCome\, shake it off and shake your way to good health! \nShaking Medicine® is sometimes referred to as Bioenergetics or Trauma Release. It is one of the world’s oldest self-help medicines. \nShaking\, rocking\, vibration and oscillation are natural human reactions to: Stress\, Trauma & Ecstatic states. Shaking Medicine® is\, in short\, the healing power of ecstatic movement. Inspired by and brought to us by nature. The practice of Shaking is known by many: Quakers\, Gnostics\, Taoists\, Yoginis\, First Nations peoples\, Sufis\, Druids\, Zen Buddhists and more. \nWe are inspired by teachers such as Peter Levine\, Bradford Keeney\, Osho\, Wilhelm Reich\, Alexander Lowen\, John Peirakkos\, David Bercelli. \n“Trauma recovery work has got to develop a new paradigm\, because the paradigm that we have now is based on post-traumatic stress disorder and you go to a one to one therapist. You cannot do that with large groups of people. So there has got to be a new paradigm shift in the realization of “how do we do recovery from PTSD on a large scale population?” How do we get whole groups of people\, like villages for example\, or an entire school system healed? So that’s the first paradigm shift\, we have to change our concept of PTSD recovery so that we can work on a large scale.” \n– Dr. David Bercelli \n\n\n\n\nSAFE SPACE \nThis class is an inclusive space focused on supporting each and every one of its participants. Please be respectful of others’ space\, property\, needs\, and process. Any display of antisocial or abusive behaviour will result in removal from the class without a refund. \nPERSONAL SAFETY \nA Shaking Medicine® class might not be the most suitable setting for people with severe trauma\, PTSD\, CPTSD\, burnout\, and serious health conditions or those who find it very challenging to self-regulate (unable to calm down when emotionally distressed). It would be more supportive to initially work in individual sessions. \nPREGNANCY \nShaking Medicine is not recommended. \nRECENT INJURIES & SURGERIES \nIt is best to give your body at least 3 months to heal after a surgery or serious injury before doing Shaking Medicine®. Please contact us via email if you would like to discuss your circumstances but we would advise that consult your doctor. \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!

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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS\n💙Seth 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💙Diana Upite (Dee): Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK 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.

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\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.

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).

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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS\n💙Seth 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💙Diana Upite (Dee): Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK 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.

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💜 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!
