Pirate radio\, Drum & Bass clubs\, and the UK Bass Music scene. His creativity was kindled with the potential of the finely detailed dynamics of high-quality speakers with which to deliver a digital sound experience in the best possible way. Once he lovingly built the sound system\, he realised only certain music translates to his finely detailed speakers. That there is his mission\, and deep intention.. to combine great music with high-quality speakers that deliver the detail and sonics that our very fine ears deserve! And so\, we are in for a real treat. As well as Blowfelts’ delectable taste in Drum & Bass\, we will be offered the ecstatic experience and sonic delight of his sound system!

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\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!

You can attend the whole day or just drop-in for single workshops. No experience necessary. \nDuring the day you will have the chance to dance and dive into a selection of some very beautiful and unique movement & relaxation practices. \nBOOK HERE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-big-love-experience-bioenergetics-breathwork-journey-ecstatic-dance-tickets-542823428487 \nSCHEDULE:\n◈ 11:45am-2:30pm The BIG LOVE Experience – Bliss Beyond Fear – Learn powerful Bioenergetic Alchemy exercises for releasing stress\, fear and shock from the body. This workshop is designed to teach you how to gently release tension and stress held in the body. \nDuring this workshop you will learn a series of carefully designed Bioenergetic Alchemy™ exercises and postures (similar to Yoga or Tai Chi) where we will release fear and tension from our body to re-experience our natural state\, what the Kalahari Bushmen call\, “The Big Love”. \n“My classes follow a format of checking in with the body\, warm-ups\, grounding and building the body’s energy\, then discharging the energy through movement and expression. This is followed by relaxation. The immediate result is a felt sense of security\, vibrancy and exhilaration.” – Seth Newman \nVarious spiritual teachings\, such as A Course in Miracles\, say that there are only two fundamental emotions: love and fear. If we can begin to safely & gently release tension\, shock & fear from the body\, we then open to an experience of the body in its natural state\, deeply relaxed\, at ease\, and with a sense of peace and wellbeing. The Kalahari Bushmen call this natural state\, the BIG LOVE. (Please bring a yoga mat & blanket) \n◈ break 60 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway) \n◈ 3:30-5:15pm Breath of Love Breathwork Session – Deep connected breathing  \nOur Breath of Love Breathwork sessions are a wonderful way to deeply relax and rejuvenate your body\, your mind\, and your entire nervous system. It is also a safe and healthy way to reach creative states of consciousness\, allowing a participant to access their deeper/higher consciousness. Resulting in improved physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual well-being. \nThrough the use of grounding exercises\, tapping and conscious\, connected diaphragmatic breathing\, each individual is the leader of their own journey. \nOur facilitation includes space-holding\, affirmations\, aromatherapy and Reiki to assist in this personal process. At the very least\, the breathwork will be relaxing and detoxifying… and at most\, a Big Love experience! \n◈ break 45 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway ) \n◈ 6pm – 8:15pm Ecstatic Dance/Movement Meditation with Cacao Circle (with sound system and optional of Silent Disco Headphones to fully immerse into the music!

Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Bioenergetic Alchemy® Workshop∗ ─ ⋙\n\n11:45am-2:30pm \nWhat Is Bioenergetic Alchemy®? \nBioenergetic Alchemy® is a very powerful body-mind approach to psychological\, physical and emotional health and well-being. \nBioenergetic Alchemy® works to melt the frozen history in the body\, through a series of gentle and powerful exercises\, bringing to consciousness the holding patterns\, and releasing the energy that has been blocked. Tense areas of the body are gradually opened so that the energy can begin to move more freely\, allowing the body to regain its natural aliveness and vitality\, harmonising the relationship between the body\, mind and spirit. \nAt the personal level\, the highly experiential nature of Bioenergetic Alchemy® is a catalyst for transformation\, as participants work in the laboratory of their own process and their relationship to others. The work opens the heart\, brings grounded empowerment to the personality\, and a deeper connection to the core; center of your authentic self. \nThese Bioenergetic Alchemy™ sessions are for individuals interested in their own self-development and/or healing processes. The classes offer deep experiential learning about the body-mind and participants are encouraged to develop skills in present-moment listening\, sensing\, and emotional/feeling awareness related to the body-mind. \nThe class is an experiential\, deep-dive into yourself and your relationship with your body\, and your life energy! \nFeedback from our previous workshops: \n“Thank you Seth. The weekend was an exceptional experience of deep healing\, awakening\, and opening. I feel so light\, peaceful\, and full of Love. Through the journey we took\, I touched some of my wounds\, gently but deeply releasing and healing what was ready to be alchemised. Thank you to all the other lovely participants. Please organise the next one soon :-)” Tanja \n“A truly awesome experience. A wonderful and safe space to learn and experience bioenergetic alchemy. Thanks again to Seth for the expert guidance and support.” Amo \n“Like the Bioenergetic Alchemy classes\, but better. The weekend gave me the opportunity to go deeper into my body and discover new experiences which I hadn’t been able to tap into before. It was a good mix of different exercises\, and I had a really blissful experience with the breathwork.” Vijay \n” I feel so grateful I had the opportunity to attend this weekend event. I felt that Seth\, through his presence\, allowing\, way of being\, created a very unique\, safe space in which I could release\, discover\, explore and meet different aspects of myself. I was amazed how during the two days I was – often unexpectedly and gently – led to bring forth and embrace a child\, an ancient woman\, an animal\, a spoiled brat\, a mother\, a lover\, a goddess… Also through Seth’s guidance and suggestions I felt within very short spaces of time both my immense sorrow/yearning/pain and my immense joy/gratitude\, realising how close to each other these seemingly opposites are. Today I feel a more solid belonging in the world\, and a heightened awareness of the soles of my feet on the floor\, like the earth was more magnetic!” Maria \n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Breath of Love – Breathwork Journey∗ ─ ⋙\n\n3:30pm-5:15pm \nUnlimited Benefits: \nBreathwork has profound benefits\, and is an ongoing practice. \nPracticing Breathwork enables you to……  \n1) Oxygenate 2) Restore 3) Detox 4) Gain Clarity 5) Express suppressed emotions 6) Release old tensions 7) Amplify Energy 8) Expand awareness 9) Remove negative blocks 10) Forgive past occurrences 11) Feel empowered 12) Cultivate inspiration13) Settle into a deep relaxed state 14) Tap into your truest you \nTechnical Aspects of Bioenergetic Breathwork:\nThere are a few key parts to the breathing pattern:  \n1. It is conscious\, so you are very aware of the fact you are breathing \n2. It is connected; so that the natural pause between the inhale and exhale is merged\, creating a continuous loop of breath. \n3. It is relaxed\, meaning the exhale is relaxed\, and there is an emphasis on the inhale. \n4. It is open\, meaning it is performed with a wide open mouth. \n5. It is deep\, meaning you are breathing fully into the lower belly\, and all the way up into the chest. \nWhat a typical session looks like:  \nAfter some initial warm-up movements\, stretches\, and grounding exercises. You will be invited to lie on a yoga mat and breathe for about an 3/4 of an hour\, and in this time we will offer positive affirmations\, as well as support for deeper breathing. We may also use hands-on bodywork to enhance a deeper & fuller breath. We will end the session with a final relaxation\, with further guidance and meditation. \nWalking away with a feeling of lightness\, vitality\, and love… \n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES: \nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers. If you are more than 30 min late\, arriving after 6:30pm\, we won’t be able to let you join the session\, this is so we can all journey together. \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk to\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the building). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \nNo experience necessary. All welcome.  \nCACAO CIRCLE \nAt Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate\, RAW chocolate-CACAO! We will provide complimentary Raw Vegan Cacao to superfood charge your dance with us! \nCacao is the ultimate heart opener\, it will give you energy\, revitalise your BodyMind inviting you to express\, release & unleash your creativity during the dance! \nOur Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best\, velvety tasting cacao in town for sure!). She uses ethically sourced\, highest quality ingredients from Guatemala\, directly from a reliable cacao bean farmer. \nJoin us to explore Cacao + Ecstatic Dance as a potent synthesis for Transformation.
