Come along! \nABOUT THE VENUE & SOUND SYSTEM\n– MINISTRY OF SOUND: first opened its doors way back in September 1991. Inspired by New York’s cavernous house venues\, our home was a derelict bus garage in south London – an area that\, at the time\, was more infamous than famous. The first night had no alcohol\, three flashing lights\, moody security and unless you knew the names of at least half-a-dozen Chicago house DJs\, you were never getting through the menacing\, prison-like\, gates. Despite these eccentricities\, the night was a success and within a matter of weeks\, word had spread that something special had landed smack bang in the middle of London’s club scene. This was the first club dedicated to house music\, the first club to pick up the gauntlet laid down by the second summer of love and\, most importantly\, the world’s first nightclub with a room built purely for exceptional sound quality. \n-SOUND SYSTEM: To this day sound is still at the forefront of everything the Ministry of Sound does. Put simply\, there is no better place on earth to hear the world’s greatest DJs play the world’s best music! The club’s main space – the Box was designed to make sound quality paramount\, with towering speaker stacks\, several million watts of bass and triple-thick absorbing walls. The club boasts a 64-speaker\, 22-channel sound-system with a ring of six bespoke Martin Audio ground stacks positioned around the dancefloor of The Box. Basically\, you have to experience The Box in person to appreciate just how unique it is! 🙂 \n\n\n\n\nWHAT IS “ECSTATIC DISCO” ALL ABOUT?\nDisco embodies the essence of ecstatic dance. It’s fun\, liberating and light-hearted. and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Ecstatic Dance is seriously infectious\, so be warned: this night might change your life! \nCome and dance to OPEN-UP\, to release city stress\, dance in more light and joy\, and make new friends – all accompanied by a liberating & empowering disco/ funk/house soundtrack with DJ Seth Newman\, to connect us deeply with our dance\, our body\, our hearts\, and our creativity! \nWe’ll be including delicious ceremonial grade cacao and a beautiful cacao ceremony/guided meditation facilitated by Seth to connect us with our body\, our hearts and positive intention. \nNo prior experience of dance necessary. All welcome. \nOur Ecstatic Dance sessions have guidelines of: No booze(of course!)\, No Shoes (wear shoes at this venue please) No phones\, No Chit Chat\, Move However You Wish\, Respect yourself and others. \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.

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 passionate about the healing-trance qualities of rhythm & afro 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 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\, Trance Dance 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 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\nANY QUESTIONS?

Thank you for a wonderful afternoon with amazing tunes in a splendid environment!! Thank you everyone for your lovely presence and jubilant energy!! \nThank you! it was amazing to dance in the nature and connect with so many wonderful people! \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 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

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.

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.

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

Because of the length of the complete sessions\, the schedule of day 4/5/6 might slightly be different given how we get on (not the beginning or end of the day though). \nAs the multiple-handed sessions are at the core of what Dan and his team offer to the world\, during the training courses we create time and space for our participants to optionally give and receive short 6-8 or 10-handed sessions – depending on the number of available people. We yet have to meet a person refusing to have such a session 🙂 \n  \n🌊6 DAY COURSE FEE: \nSpecial offer: £675 with (10% discount applied\, Regular price £750)\n(£100 deposit payment via Eventbrite\, balance £575 to be paid directly to Dan\, see below) \n-Price includes the assessment and the issuing of certificates.\n-For student’s and couples’ discounts or instalment plans\, please contact Dan Joy directly:\nhello@stayintouch.earth or call +44 7500 861738\, Website: https://stayintouch.earth/ \n£100 non-refundable deposit booking required to reserve a spot on the training.\n-Book via Eventbrite + fee of £9.08 applies\n-OR transfer deposit directly to Dan without extra Eventbrite fees\, see below bank details.\n-Remaining balance: £575 to be transferred directly to Dan\, see below bank details. \nMr Daniel Roszik-Csendes\nSort Code: 77-95-26\nAccount Nr: 15491663\nRef: LomiMay2024 \nSpaces for this training are very limited\, 20 in total and only 10 remaining!  \n🌊REFUND POLICY \n£100 non-refundable deposit on confirmation of booking.\n75% of the balance is refunded if cancelled 49 days before the course\n50% of the balance is refunded if cancelled 42 days before the course\n25% of the balance is refunded if cancelled 35 days before the course\nThere is no refund if cancelled after 28 days before the course. \n\n\nLomi for the body \nLomi Lomi is deeply nourishing for the body. It gives the receiver a tangible experience of what it feels like to be loved and cherished in a non-judgmental way. It leads you to accept the body that you have\, enjoy being in your body\, and experience what it feels like to be held. The experience of being loved and massaged with true compassion can be profoundly healing and creates a feeling of safety and welcome\, a coming home if you like\, to your own self. \nLomi for the mind \nBoth the receiving and giving of a Lomi Lomi ritual is a deeply meditative practice. Lomi is a way of touching the mind through the experience of the body. The long flowing moves and the slow pace of the Lomi Lomi massage inevitably slow down our thinking mind and open up the possibility of a new state of awareness. The deep peace and rest for the body and calming of the nervous system create the space for the mind at last to rest. \nLomi for the soul \nWhat makes Lomi different from other massages is that it cares for and respects equally the body\, mind and soul. A truly holistic experience\, a soul once touched by Lomi never returns to its original state. It is deeply affirmative\, restorative and transformative. Receiving Lomi enables us to tune into another aspect of ourselves that is often lost in the fast pace of everyday life. Our intuition can be rekindled\, our inspiration can return and we are connected to the essence of what it means to be alive\, the spark of life that we were born with that we may struggle to stay in touch with. Lomi is a beautiful means to be reborn into our true nature of loving presence. \nWHAT IS IT LIKE TO RECEIVE A LOMI LOMI MASSAGE?\nhttps://youtu.be/5r7Qb4BHlH8?si=CM0J0nRBrAxSZx1c
