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.

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 \nSEE ALL OUR UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events \nWe look forward to welcoming you!

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◈ 3:30-5:30pm Breath of Love Bioenergetic Breathwork Session – an Introduction to Deep Connected Breathwork \nOur Breath of Love Bioenergetic 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◈ 7pm – 9:45pm MY ECSTATIC ODYSSEY – Ecstatic Dance/Movement Meditation with Cacao Circle (We will provide complimentary Raw Vegan Cacao – super yummy\, the best in London for sure! ) \n◈ 9:45pm -10pm Optional social with refreshing fruit to nourish you after the dance \n–> More details about individual workshops\, prices\, facilitators – please scroll down. \nBOOK HERE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-big-love-experience-bioenergetics-breathwork-journey-ecstatic-dance-tickets-951294426237 \nWHAT YOU WILL NEED:\n1.

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∗ ─ ⋙\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\n⋘ ─ ∗Breath of Love – Bioenergetic Breathwork Journey∗ ─ ⋙\n3:30pm-5:30pm \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**An invitation to dive into our 10-week transformational group on Tuesday evenings starting October 15th\, 2024 – BREATH\, ENERGY\, ECSTASY \n\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ MY ECSTATIC ODYSSEY – ECSTATIC DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n7PM – 9:45PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

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 7:30pm\, 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\nINSTAGRAM: @ecstaticdance_london\, @urubu_school_of_transformation\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\nEMAIL: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com\n\nECSTATIC DANCE LONDON & URUBU - YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!\n\n💜SEE ALL OUR UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS & FESTIVALS:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon
