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

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. \nDiana Upite: Trained in classical music from a young age\, and later in contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision. A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond.

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

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

It has really shifted something for me. This morning I keep bursting into giggles! Thank you so much to Seth and everyone else who held the space.” \n“Powerful stuff. Highly recommend giving it a go.” \n“What an incredible time I had last night! When I arrived\, I was feeling very low and in my head. The Bioenergetic Alchemy session brought me back to my body and allowed me to connect to some suppressed sadness. I feel alive\, connected and expanded.

Like Bioenergetics and other somatic processes\, for me\, Trance Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation. I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous\, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go\, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.” – Seth Newman \nAs a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. He integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is passionate about Afro-rhythm & percussion and has studied in the roots of Afro-Brazilian percussion\, he has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years\, created the URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians and then started his journey as an avid DJ with a love for Afro-Beat\, Cuban and Brazilian music\, and has created the Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗TANTRIC TRANCE DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM \nThrough this transformational dance process\, you will be guided into befriending all the aspects of your Being.

Through the stages\, you will begin to strip off layers of muscular armouring\, surrendering to the dance of the body\, letting go of baggage you may of been carrying for years\, and connecting with your Souls calling. \n“You are the fusion of Nature and Spirit\, the meeting point of Earth & Sky” \n“Between the head and feet of any given person is a billion miles of unexplored wilderness. . . . We dance to shed skins\, tear off masks\, crack molds\, and experience the breakdown – the shattering of borders between body\, heart and mind . . .” – Gabrielle Roth \n“WE have come to be danced not the nice invisible\, self conscious shuffle but the matted hair flying\, voodoo mama shaman shakin’ ancient bones dance the strip us from our casings\, return our wings sharpen our claws & tongues dance the shed dead cells and slip into the luminous skin of love dance…” -Jewel Mathieson \nThe Tantric Trance Dance process is a unique opportunity to connect with all the wild energies of your Nature\, with your Heart and Spirit. \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, sacred connection with other people\, in such a short time with strangers here in London is rare to find.

We love music. We love to inspire\, to connect\, to heal and transform! \nDiscover dance as a moving meditation\, body ritual\, awareness practice & ceremony \nIn our Sunday Ecstatic Dance sessions\, the musical focus will be more of a World/Medicine music\, Afro-House & a Tribal Flow vibe. Our Saturday Ecstatic Dance sessions tend to be more of a celebration with a light-hearted party atmosphere\, in these Sunday Dances\, you’re invited to explore “movement as meditation” with beautiful music to accompany your journey… \nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. 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.

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