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).

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\nSAFETY GUIDELINES & PREVENTION MEASURES:\nWe are working closely with the venue and are taking appropriate steps to ensure our indoor dance sessions are covid-secure.

Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗DANCE OF AWARENESS∗ ─ ⋙\n12:3OPM – 3PM \nDance of Awareness™  is a new approach to working with movement\, dance\, and awareness. It is a dance and movement practice that aims to increase self-awareness and self-acceptance. And when practiced regularly\, can be a very powerful resource for our well-being – body\, heart\, and soul. \n“This is a dance process for self-expression and personal discovery in a safely held space.” \nDance of Awareness™  has five main streams of influence: Neo-Reichian body-centred psychotherapy; Five Rhythms dance; Authentic Movement; Dance Movement Psychotherapy; and the experiential exploration of Awareness itself. \nROOTS IN DEVELOPMENTAL THEORY \n“How did you\, become you?”  \nThe Dance of Awareness™  is similar in structure to the Five Rhythms wave developed by Roth (1999)\, but has been adapted to take account of psychodynamic theory and developmental psychology. The phases of the cycle follow themes of human development from pre-birth through to around five years. This is the time period associated with the growing sense of self which becomes embodied through early experience\, and which sets the patterns for adulthood. This gives the mover the opportunity to re-experience the formative years of early development\, explore old imprints\, and discover new patterns of moving and relating. \nThe Dance of Awareness™  works with 6 cycles:  \nSensing\, Grounding\, Expressing\, Releasing\, Connecting and Completing following an energetic wave of charging and discharging over the course of a session. \nDance of Awareness™  is an open and allowing space where the dancer-mover can express and explore both 1) old adapted ways of moving and being and 2) new possibilities in moving\, being\, and relating. \nAs you journey through the cycles\, and with some direction from the facilitator\, explore the creative movement impulses which are ready to emerge. \nDance of Awareness will help you to explore both\, dancing out all that is ready to be released\, and dancing in more of your life-giving\, life-affirming creative potential! \n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:45PM – 5:30PM \nSoothing sounds will help to release the stress and tension. An opportunity to let go and reconnect with yourself through deep relaxation and guided meditation while basking in Cosmic\, Ethereal Vocals and Electronic Soundscapes\, Textures\, Crystal Singing Bowls\, Gongs and much much more .  A Unique Experience! \nAs everything is vibrating so are we\, sometimes we can become out of tune in either mind body or spirit and dis-ease can start to take hold. Through the healing frequencies of sound therapy our bodies can be brought back in tune and we can begin to feel healthy and balanced once more. \nThe deep complex harmonics of multiple instruments quickly silence the mind and resonate through your body melting away boundaries between being awake and being asleep\, between inside and outside. \nMeditate and relax into the deepest conscious rest\, cleansing\, releasing\, healing and harmonizing on all levels. \nA beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon!  \n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE TEMPLE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

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. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is passionate about rhythm & Afro-Brazilian music\, 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 URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians\, and started his journey as an avid DJ with a love for Afro-Beat\, Cuban and Brazilian music and created an Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth has a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms and other movement and Ecstatic Dance practices. \nURUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts – offering a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices.  \n\n\n\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 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\nSAFETY GUIDELINES & PREVENTION MEASURES:\nWe are working closely with the venue and are taking appropriate steps to ensure our indoor dance sessions are covid-secure. We kindly ask that you respect and follow our safety guidelines. \n If you are showing any Covid-19 symptoms\, please DO NOT attend the session.  \n\n\nINSTAGRAM: @urubu_school_of_transformation\, @ecstaticdance_london\n\nFACEBOOK: Ecstatic Dance London\, URUBU\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\, Ecstatic Dance Festivals\n\nFACEBOOK GROUPS: URUBU - Ecstatic Dance London\, Ecstatic Dance London\n\nMEETUP: Urubu's Ecstatic Dance & Moving Meditation Community\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\n\nYOUTUBE: URUBU School of Transformational Arts\n\nWEBSITE: ecstaticdancelondon.com\n\nEMAIL: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com\n\nURUBU - YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!

SUMMARY:What's your Vision for 2023? Guided Creativity and Meditation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to offer a New Year’s Eve intention-setting workshop. Tap into a positive flow state and start 2023 with a creative vision!\n\n\n\nJoin us for this very special New Year’s Eve workshop. You’re invited to dive deep into techniques\, guided meditations\, and processes with us that will deepen your experience of the “creative flow state” and set your positive intentions and creative vision for the coming year. The workshop is an opportunity to slow down and take the time to set goals\, intentions and tune into your heartfelt mission. Manifest your hopes\, dreams and visions in the new year!  \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP:\nThis workshop is based on the work of Creative Flow Dojo® . Whose main aim is to help you develop daily habits to make your dreams come true! Whether it’s about writing that book\, meeting “the one”\, creating a rewarding career\, having the courage to take risks in your life\, achieving daily healthy habits\, or just feeling good and being more connected to your body and your life-vision\, we would love to support you! \n• Creative Flow – The optimal body-mind state of consciousness where we feel and perform at our best. \n• Dojo – A dōjō is a space for immersive learning and practice. This term is traditionally used within the field of martial arts. \nMany of us know what it’s like to be in an optimal state of “creative flow” and when we are deeply connected to the best of who we are. But do we have to just wait for inspiration to strike\, or is there a way that we can hack ‘the zone’? \nTo be generative\, to be creative\, we must first create the optimal conditions and get into a “creative flow state”. Throughout our classes\, you will learn how to get there\, and with practice\, stay there. This is what the Creative Flow Dojo™ is about – helping you to get into an optimal state for creativity\, performance\, health and wellbeing. \n\nLearn how to develop a “creative flow state” for health & wellbeing\, creativity and optimal performance in which you can creatively engage with whatever you’re faced with. It could be a criticism\, it could be a challenge\, it could be a particular problem\, or it could be a creative performance!\n\n\nDiscover how to tap into and maintain a peak performance state\, what we are calling a “creative flow state”. Athletes might call it “the zone”\, or martial artists might use the term “chi flow”\, but whatever you call it\, it is a state in which to be able to deal skillfully and creatively\, with whatever it is that you are engaged with.\n\nBOOK HERE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/whats-your-vision-for-2023-guided-creativity-and-meditation-workshop-tickets-478163017457 \nSCHEDULE:\n◈ 6:30pm-8:30pm Workshop – What’s Your Vision for 2023?

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\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 URUBU School of Transformational Arts\, he integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings.

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.
