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 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. Seth has a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms and other movement and Ecstatic Dance practices. \nEcstatic Dance London offers a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices. \n\n\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 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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n💜 ALL UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS +CREWING:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london \n💛FREE CREW SPACES: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!

When we combine this type of world music with dance\, we can reconnect with our natural sense of wonder\, freedom\, and ecstatic expression. \nFor us\, dance has always been more than just movement — it is meditation\, a way to tap into something far greater than our individual selves. Across cultures and generations\, time & space\, people have danced to heal\, to connect\, and to remember who they truly are. \nPRANA MYSTIC is an invitation to move\, release\, and open up — to let go of city stress\, to dance in lightness and joy\, and to share the experience with a beautiful community. \nOur journey will be guided by a powerful\, uplifting\, and heart-expanding WORLD MUSIC set — weaving together mystical\, euphoric\, and transformative sounds to awaken your creativity and deepen your connection with your dance and your heart. \n🌿 To support this journey\, we’ll also share ceremonial-grade cacao in a guided Cacao Ceremony & Chakra Journey with Seth — a grounding practice that opens the heart\, nurtures the body\, and aligns our energy centres with positivity before we dance. \nCome as you are. Dance barefoot. Leave recharged\, uplifted\, and inspired. 🌟 No prior experience of ecstatic dance is necessary.

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\n\n💜 ALL UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS +CREWING: \nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london \n💛FREE CREW SPACES: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!

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\nWHY HAMMOCKS? 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\n\n\n\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS:\n💗Diana Upite-Davis: Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK to study 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. Through her singing\, her intention is to guide you on a journey of reconnection and self-discovery\, reuniting you with the source of who you are! She is passionate about bringing practices of rest and embodiment to others\, has trained in 1:1 and multiple-handed Lomi Lomi bodywork and also offers sauna venik rituals. Diana has a keen interest in making delicious raw chocolates and raw cacao drinks for events & private clients. She enjoyes blending spices to make her signature delicious homemade vegan & caffeine free Chai for events & is experimenting with new flavours!

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\nWHY HAMMOCKS? 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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS:\n💗Diana Upite-Davis: Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK to study contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision.

Seth and Dee create a calm\, magical space where you receive natural healing energy of relaxation and music.

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.

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. \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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n💜 ALL UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS +CREWING:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london \n💛FREE CREW SPACES: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!

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 a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms and other movement and Ecstatic Dance practices. \nEcstatic Dance London offers a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices. \n\n\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 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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n💜 ALL UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS +CREWING:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london \n💛FREE CREW SPACES: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!

WHAT MUSIC TO EXPECT: “Enlightened Electro\, World Beat\, Deep House and Downtempo Bliss\, plus a few surprises slipped in for good measure! Ecstatic Music Journeys for Conscious Movement and Sacred Celebration.” \nBIOENERGETIC ALCHEMY™ – We work with our bodies to transform and to heal. A unique movement experience\, where we begin to soften the muscular tension and chronic holding in our bodies through a series of gentle stretches\, grounding and self-expression exercises. \nBREATHWORK TRANSFORMATIONAL HEALING – Release Energetic\, Emotional & Physical layers of negative imprints & conditioning. We will be exploring Neo-Reichian Breathwork- practice is a deep conscious\, circular connected breathing and is a beautiful way to peel back the layers of the self\, connect to essence\, and embrace every part of yourself. Each participant becomes the leader of their own healing journey\, towards wholeness and health. \nSINGING – As everything is vibrating so are we. There can be no sound without a vibration. Explore and let your voice be heard in a safe environment. Discover the joy of singing\, the non-judgmental aspect of singing\, the communal part of it\, the part where differences are reconciled and we’re all just in it together\, that’s the truly uplifting power of singing. The history of music and singing has always been communal. Meditate\, sing or listen. Yes\, even just listening can activate some of the oxytocin release\, that social bonding hormone. A beautiful and powerful way to start/end our day together at the retreat. \nSOUND JOURNEYS – Multi-sensory sound journey experience with live ambient music\, and aromatherapy to soothe your stresses away and lift your spirit! An immersive restorative experience inviting your body and nervous system into a deeply relaxed state.

It’s an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and not controlled by our conditioned mind\, we let go. Natural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nGROUP SHARINGS / HEART CIRCLES – Speak your truth & let yourself be heard in Community. There will be many opportunities to share openly and intimately (small group sharings). \nTANTRA / CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS – For us\, Tantra is the total experience of life\, multi-dimensional human life! Of course\, sex and sexuality are a part of life\, we wouldn’t be here without it. But it is not the main focus of our work. The main focus is on deepening our connection to the Heart! Tantra is an invitation to slow down and bring your awareness back into the present\, back to your body and felt sense and to simple\, yet\, precious moments. Creating a safe and respectful space\, we will explore simple exercises aimed at strengthening our ability to connect to one another and to become more comfortable with honesty and vulnerability. Learn to honour your personal boundaries\, learn to enjoy your desire for intimate contact\, and to communicate both with authenticity. Become more grounded and vital\, more sensual and more connected with your feelings and your heart. Tantra is about: -Developing our sensitivity to ourselves and what we are experiencing\, – Allowing ourselves to be\, and to be seen\,- Developing love and acceptance for ourselves\, – Becoming aware of the ways we shut down. Physical contact: ‘You never have to do anything you don’t want to do” is our mantra. \nCACAO – Expansion of the Heart and Spirit through Cacao – the Elixir of the Gods! Cacao is the ultimate heart opener\, it will give you energy\, revitalise your BodyMind inviting you to express\, release & unleash your creativity during the dance! Our 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. \n… and much\, much more with amazing people who love Nature\, music and dance! \n\n\n♥ FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS RETREATS/FESTIVALS:\n“That was a very beautiful experience.

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 workshop. 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💜 ALL UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS +CREWING:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london \n💛FREE CREW SPACES: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!

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\nWHY HAMMOCKS? 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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS:\n💗Diana Upite-Davis: Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK to study 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. Through her singing\, her intention is to guide you on a journey of reconnection and self-discovery\, reuniting you with the source of who you are! She is passionate about bringing practices of rest and embodiment to others\, has trained in 1:1 and multiple-handed Lomi Lomi bodywork and also offers sauna venik rituals. Diana has a keen interest in making delicious raw chocolates and raw cacao drinks for events & private clients. She enjoyes blending spices to make her signature delicious homemade vegan & caffeine free Chai for events & is experimenting with new flavours!

This supports the nervous system to discharge excess activation and settle more easily into calm. \nThe 4 Stages (60 minutes total)\nStage 1 Shaking (15 mins)\nStanding with soft knees\, you’ll be guided to allow natural shaking/tremoring. This helps loosen tension\, wake up energy\, and clear stress from the body. \nStage 2 Dancing (15 mins)\nMusic opens into free movement. No steps to follow — simply let the body lead\, expressing whatever wants to move. \nStage 3 Stillness (15 mins)\nYou pause and become completely still (standing or sitting). This is where the nervous system can integrate and the mind naturally quietens. \nStage 4 Rest (15 mins)\nYou lie down and rest. This final stage supports deep integration — letting the practice land in the body. \nWhat you’ll get from the practice\n\nRelease built-up tension in the body\nSoothe and regulate the nervous system\nShift from “head” into embodied presence\nA clearer\, calmer baseline — often felt immediately\, and strengthened over time\n\nShaking\, rocking\, vibration and spontaneous movement are natural human responses to stress\, overwhelm\, and even ecstatic states. Variations of these practices appear across many cultures and traditions — a reminder that the body has always known how to come back to balance. \nCome shake it off. Move it through. Rest into yourself. \n\n\n\nVENUE & PRACTICALITIES:\nADDRESS: The Amadeus\, 50 Shirland Rd\, London W9 2JA \nNEAREST STATION: Warwick Avenue (6 min walk)\, Maida Vale (12 min) Bakerloo Line\, Please check tfl.gov.uk for latest travel updates. \nWHAT TO BRING: Bring a reusable water bottle\, please if possible come already dressed in comfortable clothing suitable for movement\, dress in layers.

Unfortunately\, if you are more than 10 minutes late\, you will not be allowed entry (and there can be no refunds if you are more than 10 minutes late\, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. \n2) Our sessions are designed to be calm and restful. We welcome everyone to our sound journey sessions and aim to make them accessible and comfortable for all. \n– If you are feeling unwell with a potentially contagious illness\, please rest at home and pass your ticket to a friend or family member. \n–If you have any accessibility needs or a health condition\, including those that may cause a persistent non-contagious cough (e.g.\,asthma or allergies)\, you are welcome to attend – we simply ask you to let us know via email in advance so we can plan for a comfortable experience for all. \n-We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone showing symptoms of an infectious illness\, including a new cough. This is to protect vulnerable attendees and maintain a peaceful environment. \n3) Please only arrive 5 minutes before the start of the session\, as there is no waiting room at the venue\, we won’t be able to allow early entrace in order to prepare for the session. \n4) Clothing: Please wear a sleeved shirt that covers the armpits and leggings or yoga trousers that cover your knees. Wear form-fitting clothing. Please do not wear baggy clothing as they can snag and catch on the sling’s fabric causing accidents.

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\nWHY HAMMOCKS? 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\n\n\n\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS:\n💗Diana Upite-Davis: Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK to study contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision.

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\nWHY HAMMOCKS? 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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS:\n💗Diana Upite-Davis: Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK to study contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision.

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 \n\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.

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!

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 & WHY CACAO? \nAt Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate\, RAW chocolate-CACAO!

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\, 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 & WHY CACAO? \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.

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\nWHY HAMMOCKS? 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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS:\n💗Diana Upite-Davis: Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK to study contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision.

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. \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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n💜 ALL UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS +CREWING:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london \n💛FREE CREW SPACES: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!

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\nWHY HAMMOCKS? 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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS:\n💗Diana Upite-Davis: Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK to study 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.

Unfortunately\, if you are more than 10 minutes late\, you will not be allowed entry (and there can be no refunds if you are more than 10 minutes late\, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. \n2) Our sessions are designed to be calm and restful. We welcome everyone to our sound journey sessions and aim to make them accessible and comfortable for all. \n– If you are feeling unwell with a potentially contagious illness\, please rest at home and pass your ticket to a friend or family member. \n–If you have any accessibility needs or a health condition\, including those that may cause a persistent non-contagious cough (e.g.\,asthma or allergies)\, you are welcome to attend – we simply ask you to let us know via email in advance so we can plan for a comfortable experience for all. \n-We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone showing symptoms of an infectious illness\, including a new cough. This is to protect vulnerable attendees and maintain a peaceful environment. \n3) Please only arrive 5 minutes before the start of the session\, as there is no waiting room at the venue\, we won’t be able to allow early entrace in order to prepare for the session. \n4) Clothing: Please wear a sleeved shirt that covers the armpits and leggings or yoga trousers that cover your knees. Wear form-fitting clothing. Please do not wear baggy clothing as they can snag and catch on the sling’s fabric causing accidents. Ensure that your clothing is “zipper free” and remove all jewellery (body piercings\, watches and hair clips etc). These items can snag and damage the silk hammocks. \n5) Weight limit is up 300 pounds (140kg) per hammock. \n6) This session is not suitable for people with pacemakers and other therapeutic electronic devices or persons suffering from severe mental health issues due to the vibratory nature of the session. Please seek advice from your GP if you have any concerns prior to attending our session. \n7) Our sound journeys are very gentle and not loud/intense therefore suitable for pregnant women. It is believed that there are many positive and beneficial effects to be gained from relaxation and healing sounds to the growing foetus. The advised healing practice is gentle flowing sounds around the pregnant mother for the beneficial and positive effect of both mother and baby. Please seek advice from your GP if you have any concerns prior to attending our session. \nCANCELLATION POLICY:\nAll tickets are non-refundable.

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\nWHY HAMMOCKS? 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\nORGANIZERS/ FACILITATORS/ MUSICIANS:\n💗Diana Upite-Davis: Trained in classical music from a young age in Latvia\, and later moving to UK to study contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision.

Many thanks for organising such a unique and absolutely fulfilling experience.

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.

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. \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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n💜 ALL UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS +CREWING:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london \n💛FREE CREW SPACES: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!

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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n💜 ALL UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS +CREWING:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london \n💛FREE CREW SPACES: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!
