Seth has a life-long passion for active meditations and other movement\, and embodiment practices. His in-depth studies\, trainings and personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities infuse his approach in creating and facilitating life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. 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 and has been running various body-mind integration workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is passionate about the power of rhythm & drums to transform & awaken humanity\, he has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, and has worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years. He formed the URUBU collective & Ecstatic Dance London back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians\, and with heart felt vision has forged the Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth channels his passion for rhythm into his DJ sets\, incorporating Afro-centric\, Cuban\, and Brazilian influences\, providing an electrifying and soulful experience! \nEcstatic Dance London & URUBU 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!

Seth has a life-long passion for active meditations and other movement\, and embodiment practices. His in-depth studies\, trainings and personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities infuse his approach in creating and facilitating life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. 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 and has been running various body-mind integration workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is passionate about the power of rhythm & drums to transform & awaken humanity\, he has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, and has worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years. He formed the URUBU collective & Ecstatic Dance London back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians\, and with heart felt vision has forged the Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth channels his passion for rhythm into his DJ sets\, incorporating Afro-centric\, Cuban\, and Brazilian influences\, providing an electrifying and soulful experience! \nEcstatic Dance London & URUBU 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!

The outer world dissolves. With cacao warming the heart and ancient shamanic drums calling to us… into the dance… we turn inward to dance our prayer. \nShamanic Trance Dance is an ancient technology of consciousness\, rhythm guiding you beneath the thinking mind into embodied knowing. \nThen we move into fire. 🔥 \n\n2) The RAGE RITUAL™ is not about chaos or freaking out! It’s about reclaiming life-force! Anger\, when expressed consciously\, is clean energy. It sets boundaries. It restores dignity. It protects what matters.\n\nThrough our unique guided process\, breath and embodied activation\, you’ll be invited to unlock your roar in a space that is structured\, grounded and safe enough. \nAnd as the sun sets\, we gather again. 🌅 \n\n3) PRANA MYSTIC rises… global basslines\, ethno-fusion textures and shamanic soundscapes carry us into ecstatic dance. Cacao flows. Intentions are seeded. Bodies sweat. The dancefloor becomes temple and playground at once. 🌀💫\n\nNo talking. No alcohol. Just presence\, music\, and raw human electricity. Dance. Move. Connect. Release. Meditate. Celebrate. \nTRYBE is a modern-day sanctuary for Londoners who crave something deeper than the usual night out.\nEach gathering is like a mini urban retreat\, a space to drop armour\, meet your edges\, rediscover embodied joy and stretch beyond your usual way of being. \nCome for the full arc of the journey or drop into individual sessions.

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.” \n\n\n\n\nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n⋘ ─ ∗TRANCE DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM (no entry after 12pm) \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go. \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nWe all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is inside us! \nCACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL \nWe will set our intentions for Trance Dance with ceremonial grade cacao. 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. This rich velvety elixir is a doorway to the heart\, celebrated and honoured by the Incas\, Aztecs\, Mayans and in many ancient traditions. Cacao\, chocolate in its purest form\, is a heart opening & totally natural NON-psychedelic medicine\, containing an abundance of nutritional goodness & natural happy chemicals. \nRelease what no longer serves you\, and invite in what you want more of in your life! \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, sacred connection with other people\, in such a short time with strangers here in London is rare to find. The body – movement – connection – presence – passion and love. I felt it all… Grateful” \n“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!” \n“It was a very powerful\, letting go\, ritual experience. Brilliant!” \n“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!” \n“Wonderful experience. A magical journey into yourself\, and an opportunity to just enjoy dance with a lovely group of soul dancers at the same time. Every movement body was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman to create this fantastic dance\, it has helped me lot after a hard week. May Love connect us all. xxx” \n“Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ RAGE RITUAL™ – Unlock & Activate Your ROAR! ∗ ─ ⋙\n3:30PM-5:45PM (no entry after 3:45pm) \nWhat is Rage Ritual™? \nThis is a workshop designed to create an environment in which we can release our natural anger & aggression in a safe space\, and in a safe way\, without judgement and with a positive appreciation of our innate power and strength! \nOften in our culture\, we are taught from a very young age\, to hide our emotions and bottle up the anger\, sadness\, and pain that we feel inside. \nRage Ritual™ will teach you how to get in touch with these feelings\, and express your natural emotions in a healthy way\, & in a safe enough space. \nThe Process \nThe Rage Ritual™ process begins with grounding and centering mindfulness practices. The first step is to become embodied and learn how to first come home to the safety within. So it is a very structured workshop designed for you to experience the healing effects of releasing anger and aggression\, transforming it\, like alchemy\, from lead into gold. It can be an incredibly vulnerable experience to allow our internal feelings to be witnessed and released so expect to release emotions\, to cry\, to scream perhaps. \nWe’ll be tapping into our Bioenergetic Alchemy toolkit\, which is rooted in humanistic embodiment practices\, to offer you a powerful container to access and release pent-up feelings\, claim your boundaries\, and step into your power. \nAs the process continues\, we move from the grounding practices to the emotional release exercises\, to begin to express\, the deeply suppressed anger held in the body. \nMany people cry or have epiphanies during this process as emotions and traumas that have been stored for sometimes\, many years can come up. \nOverall\, Rage Ritual can be extremely healing. We know the idea that anger isn’t acceptable in our culture\, and for good reason\, it hasn’t been allowed to be expressed in healthy and safe ways. But holding onto and suppressing anger and aggression can be equally harmful! We need to learn to express our natural emotions in a healthy way & in safe spaces. \nWe have designed this workshop to be as accessible as possible for those who are ready to dive in wholeheartedly\, and ACTIVATE THEIR ROAR! \nStrictly no latecomers! – Sorry\, please arrive on time! Unfortunately\, if you are more than 15 minutes late for the workshop \, you will not be allowed entry (and there can be no refunds\, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. Thank you for understanding – please plan your travel to arrive early to be on time. \nDisclaimer \nWhile this work may have therapeutic benefits\, this is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing significant mental health challenges\, we strongly encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist. \nWhile we do our best to create an environment that feels safe and inclusive\, it is your responsibility to look after your own needs and boundaries. If this is something you struggle with\, or you are concerned about any element of this workshop please contact us in advance. We are very willing to chat and check in about whether this workshop is right for you at this time. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou want to release your anger but don’t know how to or are afraid of doing it alone\nYou feel tensions stuck in your body (neck\, lower back pain\, headaches) that come after episodes of anger\, frustration\,\, or sadness\nYou feel ready to shift stuck patterns\nYou are tired of not being heard or not being taken seriously\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\nYou are angry about the injustices of this world\nYou are angry about women being subjected to violence\nYou are angry about the current situation regarding the overexploitation of the Earth\n\nHow you may benefit from this work: \nBetter Boundary Setting \n– Feeling anger helps you to understand where your boundaries lie\, and through this process\, you strengthen your ability to say NO. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\n\n\nECSTATIC DANCE LONDON presents: PRANA MYSTIC – an evening of Mystical & Uplifting Dance Music\, Cacao Ceremony & Fruit Social 7pm-9:45pm – Global Bass | Ethno-Fusion Folktronica | Shamanic Soundscapes \n\nWHAT IS “PRANA MYSTIC” ALL ABOUT?\nMany of us know that certain music genres can take us into deep states of bliss. tuning us to aspects of ourselves that we have lost touch with.

Seth has a life-long passion for active meditations and other movement\, and embodiment practices. His in-depth studies\, trainings and personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities infuse his approach in creating and facilitating life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. 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 and has been running various body-mind integration workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is passionate about the power of rhythm & drums to transform & awaken humanity\, he has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, and has worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years. He formed the URUBU collective & Ecstatic Dance London back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians\, and with heart felt vision has forged the Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth channels his passion for rhythm into his DJ sets\, incorporating Afro-centric\, Cuban\, and Brazilian influences\, providing an electrifying and soulful experience! \nEcstatic Dance London & URUBU 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!

Seth has a life-long passion for active meditations and other movement\, and embodiment practices. His in-depth studies\, trainings and personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities infuse his approach in creating and facilitating life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. 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 and has been running various body-mind integration workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is passionate about the power of rhythm & drums to transform & awaken humanity\, he has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, and has worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years. He formed the URUBU collective & Ecstatic Dance London back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians\, and with heart felt vision has forged the Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth channels his passion for rhythm into his DJ sets\, incorporating Afro-centric\, Cuban\, and Brazilian influences\, providing an electrifying and soulful experience! \nEcstatic Dance London & URUBU 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!

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 has a life-long passion for active meditations and other movement\, and embodiment practices. His in-depth studies\, trainings and personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities infuse his approach in creating and facilitating life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. 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 and has been running various body-mind integration workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is passionate about the power of rhythm & drums to transform & awaken humanity\, he has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, and has worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years. He formed the URUBU collective & Ecstatic Dance London back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians\, and with heart felt vision has forged the Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth channels his passion for rhythm into his DJ sets\, incorporating Afro-centric\, Cuban\, and Brazilian influences\, providing an electrifying and soulful experience! \nEcstatic Dance London & URUBU 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!

Seth has a life-long passion for active meditations and other movement\, and embodiment practices. His in-depth studies\, trainings and personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities infuse his approach in creating and facilitating life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. 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 and has been running various body-mind integration workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is passionate about the power of rhythm & drums to transform & awaken humanity\, he has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, and has worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years. He formed the URUBU collective & Ecstatic Dance London back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians\, and with heart felt vision has forged the Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth channels his passion for rhythm into his DJ sets\, incorporating Afro-centric\, Cuban\, and Brazilian influences\, providing an electrifying and soulful experience! \nEcstatic Dance London & URUBU 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!

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!

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.”  \nSeth Newman: As the founder of the Ecstatic Dance London\, he integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. 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\nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n⋘ ─ ∗TRANCE DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM (no entry after 12pm) \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go. \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nWe all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is inside us! \nCACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL \nWe will set our intentions for Trance Dance with ceremonial grade cacao. 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. This rich velvety elixir is a doorway to the heart\, celebrated and honoured by the Incas\, Aztecs\, Mayans and in many ancient traditions. Cacao\, chocolate in its purest form\, is a heart opening & totally natural NON-psychedelic medicine\, containing an abundance of nutritional goodness & natural happy chemicals. \nRelease what no longer serves you\, and invite in what you want more of in your life! \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, sacred connection with other people\, in such a short time with strangers here in London is rare to find. The body – movement – connection – presence – passion and love. I felt it all… Grateful” \n“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!” \n“It was a very powerful\, letting go\, ritual experience. Brilliant!” \n“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!” \n“Wonderful experience. A magical journey into yourself\, and an opportunity to just enjoy dance with a lovely group of soul dancers at the same time. Every movement body was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman to create this fantastic dance\, it has helped me lot after a hard week. May Love connect us all. xxx” \n“Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ RAGE RITUAL™ – Unlock & Activate Your ROAR! ∗ ─ ⋙\n3:30PM-5:45PM (no entry after 3:45pm) \nWhat is Rage Ritual™? \nThis is a workshop designed to create an environment in which we can release our natural anger & aggression in a safe space\, and in a safe way\, without judgement and with a positive appreciation of our innate power and strength! \nOften in our culture\, we are taught from a very young age\, to hide our emotions and bottle up the anger\, sadness\, and pain that we feel inside. \nRage Ritual™ will teach you how to get in touch with these feelings\, and express your natural emotions in a healthy way\, & in a safe enough space. \nThe Process \nThe Rage Ritual™ process begins with grounding and centering mindfulness practices. The first step is to become embodied and learn how to first come home to the safety within. So it is a very structured workshop designed for you to experience the healing effects of releasing anger and aggression\, transforming it\, like alchemy\, from lead into gold. It can be an incredibly vulnerable experience to allow our internal feelings to be witnessed and released so expect to release emotions\, to cry\, to scream perhaps. \nWe’ll be tapping into our Bioenergetic Alchemy toolkit\, which is rooted in humanistic embodiment practices\, to offer you a powerful container to access and release pent-up feelings\, claim your boundaries\, and step into your power. \nAs the process continues\, we move from the grounding practices to the emotional release exercises\, to begin to express\, the deeply suppressed anger held in the body. \nMany people cry or have epiphanies during this process as emotions and traumas that have been stored for sometimes\, many years can come up. \nOverall\, Rage Ritual can be extremely healing. We know the idea that anger isn’t acceptable in our culture\, and for good reason\, it hasn’t been allowed to be expressed in healthy and safe ways. But holding onto and suppressing anger and aggression can be equally harmful! We need to learn to express our natural emotions in a healthy way & in safe spaces. \nWe have designed this workshop to be as accessible as possible for those who are ready to dive in wholeheartedly\, and ACTIVATE THEIR ROAR! \nStrictly no latecomers! – Sorry\, please arrive on time! Unfortunately\, if you are more than 15 minutes late for the workshop \, you will not be allowed entry (and there can be no refunds\, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. Thank you for understanding – please plan your travel to arrive early to be on time. \nDisclaimer \nWhile this work may have therapeutic benefits\, this is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing significant mental health challenges\, we strongly encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist. \nWhile we do our best to create an environment that feels safe and inclusive\, it is your responsibility to look after your own needs and boundaries. If this is something you struggle with\, or you are concerned about any element of this workshop please contact us in advance. We are very willing to chat and check in about whether this workshop is right for you at this time. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou want to release your anger but don’t know how to or are afraid of doing it alone\nYou feel tensions stuck in your body (neck\, lower back pain\, headaches) that come after episodes of anger\, frustration\,\, or sadness\nYou feel ready to shift stuck patterns\nYou are tired of not being heard or not being taken seriously\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\nYou are angry about the injustices of this world\nYou are angry about women being subjected to violence\nYou are angry about the current situation regarding the overexploitation of the Earth\n\nHow you may benefit from this work: \nBetter Boundary Setting \n– Feeling anger helps you to understand where your boundaries lie\, and through this process\, you strengthen your ability to say NO. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\n\n\n\n\nECSTATIC DANCE LONDON presents: PRANA MYSTIC – an evening of Mystical & Uplifting Dance Music\, Cacao Ceremony & Fruit Social 7pm-9:45pm – Global Bass | Ethno-Fusion Folktronica | Shamanic Soundscapes\nWHAT IS “PRANA MYSTIC” ALL ABOUT?\nMany of us know that certain music genres can take us into deep states of bliss. tuning us to aspects of ourselves that we have lost touch with. And that\, through dance\, we can reconnect with the wonder\, openness\, and ecstatic nature of our being. \nThis kind of dance-as-meditation has been practiced throughout the ages\, connecting us with something far greater than our individual selves. \nThis event is an invitation to come and dance to OPEN-UP\, to release city stress\, dance in more light and joy\, and make new friends – all accompanied by a transformational mystical euphoric & uplifting dance music set to connect us deeply with our dance\, our hearts\, and our creativity. \nWe’ll be including delicious ceremonial grade cacao and a beautiful cacao ceremony/guided meditation facilitated by Seth to connect us with our body\, our heart\, and positive intention. \nNo prior experience of ecstatic dance is necessary. All are welcome. \nOur Ecstatic Dance sessions have guidelines of: No booze\, No Shoes\, No phones\, No Chit Chat\, Move However You Wish\, Respect yourself and others.

Thank you” \n\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ RAGE RITUAL™ – Unlock & Activate Your ROAR! ∗ ─ ⋙\n3:30PM-5:45PM (no entry after 3:45pm) \nWhat is Rage Ritual™? \nThis is a workshop designed to create an environment in which we can release our natural anger & aggression in a safe space\, and in a safe way\, without judgement and with a positive appreciation of our innate power and strength! \nOften in our culture\, we are taught from a very young age\, to hide our emotions and bottle up the anger\, sadness\, and pain that we feel inside. \nRage Ritual™ will teach you how to get in touch with these feelings\, and express your natural emotions in a healthy way\, & in a safe enough space. \nThe Process \nThe Rage Ritual™ process begins with grounding and centering mindfulness practices. The first step is to become embodied and learn how to first come home to the safety within. So it is a very structured workshop designed for you to experience the healing effects of releasing anger and aggression\, transforming it\, like alchemy\, from lead into gold. It can be an incredibly vulnerable experience to allow our internal feelings to be witnessed and released so expect to release emotions\, to cry\, to scream perhaps. \nWe’ll be tapping into our Bioenergetic Alchemy toolkit\, which is rooted in humanistic embodiment practices\, to offer you a powerful container to access and release pent-up feelings\, claim your boundaries\, and step into your power. \nAs the process continues\, we move from the grounding practices to the emotional release exercises\, to begin to express\, the deeply suppressed anger held in the body. \nMany people cry or have epiphanies during this process as emotions and traumas that have been stored for sometimes\, many years can come up. \nOverall\, Rage Ritual can be extremely healing. We know the idea that anger isn’t acceptable in our culture\, and for good reason\, it hasn’t been allowed to be expressed in healthy and safe ways. But holding onto and suppressing anger and aggression can be equally harmful! We need to learn to express our natural emotions in a healthy way & in safe spaces. \nWe have designed this workshop to be as accessible as possible for those who are ready to dive in wholeheartedly\, and ACTIVATE THEIR ROAR! \nStrictly no latecomers! – Sorry\, please arrive on time! Unfortunately\, if you are more than 15 minutes late for the workshop \, you will not be allowed entry (and there can be no refunds\, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. Thank you for understanding – please plan your travel to arrive early to be on time. \nDisclaimer \nWhile this work may have therapeutic benefits\, this is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing significant mental health challenges\, we strongly encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist. \nWhile we do our best to create an environment that feels safe and inclusive\, it is your responsibility to look after your own needs and boundaries. If this is something you struggle with\, or you are concerned about any element of this workshop please contact us in advance. We are very willing to chat and check in about whether this workshop is right for you at this time. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou want to release your anger but don’t know how to or are afraid of doing it alone\nYou feel tensions stuck in your body (neck\, lower back pain\, headaches) that come after episodes of anger\, frustration\,\, or sadness\nYou feel ready to shift stuck patterns\nYou are tired of not being heard or not being taken seriously\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\nYou are angry about the injustices of this world\nYou are angry about women being subjected to violence\nYou are angry about the current situation regarding the overexploitation of the Earth\n\nHow you may benefit from this work: \nBetter Boundary Setting \n– Feeling anger helps you to understand where your boundaries lie\, and through this process\, you strengthen your ability to say NO. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nECSTATIC DANCE LONDON presents: PRANA MYSTIC – an evening of Mystical & Uplifting Dance Music\, Cacao Ceremony & Fruit Social 7pm-9:45pm – Global Bass | Ethno-Fusion Folktronica | Shamanic Soundscapes\nWHAT IS “PRANA MYSTIC” ALL ABOUT?\nMany of us know that certain music genres can take us into deep states of bliss. tuning us to aspects of ourselves that we have lost touch with.

I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous\, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go\, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.” – Seth Newman \nAs a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. He integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is 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. \nURUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts – offering a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices.  \n\n\n\nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n⋘ ─ ∗TRANCE DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go. \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nWe all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is inside us! \nCACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL \nWe will set our intentions for Trance Dance with ceremonial grade cacao. 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. This rich velvety elixir is a doorway to the heart\, celebrated and honoured by the Incas\, Aztecs\, Mayans and in many ancient traditions. Cacao\, chocolate in its purest form\, is a heart opening & totally natural NON-psychedelic medicine\, containing an abundance of nutritional goodness & natural happy chemicals. \nRelease what no longer serves you\, and invite in what you want more of in your life! \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, sacred connection with other people\, in such a short time with strangers here in London is rare to find. The body – movement – connection – presence – passion and love. I felt it all… Grateful” \n“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!” \n“It was a very powerful\, letting go\, ritual experience. Brilliant!” \n“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!” \n“Wonderful experience. A magical journey into yourself\, and an opportunity to just enjoy dance with a lovely group of soul dancers at the same time. Every movement body was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman to create this fantastic dance\, it has helped me lot after a hard week. May Love connect us all. xxx” \n“Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n\n\n\n\nRAGE RITUAL™ – Unlock & Activate Your ROAR!\nWhat is Rage Ritual™? \nThis is a workshop designed to create an environment in which we can release our natural anger & aggression in a safe space\, and in a safe way\, without judgement and with a positive appreciation of our innate power and strength! \nOften in our culture\, we are taught from a very young age\, to hide our emotions and bottle up the anger\, sadness\, and pain that we feel inside. \nRage Ritual™ will teach you how to get in touch with these feelings\, and express your natural emotions in a healthy way\, & in a safe enough space. \nThe Process \nThe Rage Ritual™ process begins with grounding and centering mindfulness practices. The first step is to become embodied and learn how to first come home to the safety within. So it is a very structured workshop designed for you to experience the healing effects of releasing anger and aggression\, transforming it\, like alchemy\, from lead into gold. It can be an incredibly vulnerable experience to allow our internal feelings to be witnessed and released so expect to release emotions\, to cry\, to scream perhaps. \nWe’ll be tapping into our Bioenergetic Alchemy toolkit\, which is rooted in humanistic embodiment practices\, to offer you a powerful container to access and release pent-up feelings\, claim your boundaries\, and step into your power. \nAs the process continues\, we move from the grounding practices to the emotional release exercises\, to begin to express\, the deeply suppressed anger held in the body. \nMany people cry or have epiphanies during this process as emotions and traumas that have been stored for sometimes\, many years can come up. \nOverall\, Rage Ritual can be extremely healing. We know the idea that anger isn’t acceptable in our culture\, and for good reason\, it hasn’t been allowed to be expressed in healthy and safe ways. But holding onto and suppressing anger and aggression can be equally harmful! We need to learn to express our natural emotions in a healthy way & in safe spaces. \nWe have designed this workshop to be as accessible as possible for those who are ready to dive in wholeheartedly\, and ACTIVATE THEIR ROAR! \nStrictly no latecomers! – Sorry\, please arrive on time! Unfortunately\, if you are more than 15 minutes late for the workshop \, you will not be allowed entry (and there can be no refunds\, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. Thank you for understanding – please plan your travel to arrive early to be on time. \nSCHEDULE:\n◈ 3:30pm-5:45pm RAGE RITUAL™ – Unlock & Activate Your ROAR! \nDoors open at 3:30pm\, no entry after 3:45pm. \nDisclaimer \nWhile this work may have therapeutic benefits\, this is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing significant mental health challenges\, we strongly encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist. \nWhile we do our best to create an environment that feels safe and inclusive\, it is your responsibility to look after your own needs and boundaries. If this is something you struggle with\, or you are concerned about any element of this workshop please contact us in advance. We are very willing to chat and check in about whether this workshop is right for you at this time. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou want to release your anger but don’t know how to or are afraid of doing it alone\nYou feel tensions stuck in your body (neck\, lower back pain\, headaches) that come after episodes of anger\, frustration\,\, or sadness\nYou feel ready to shift stuck patterns\nYou are tired of not being heard or not being taken seriously\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\nYou are angry about the injustices of this world\nYou are angry about women being subjected to violence\nYou are angry about the current situation regarding the overexploitation of the Earth\n\nHow you may benefit from this work: \nBetter Boundary Setting \n– Feeling anger helps you to understand where your boundaries lie\, and through this process\, you strengthen your ability to say NO. \nThis workshop is for you if: \n\nYou’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power\n\n\n\n\n\nECSTATIC DANCE LONDON presents: DESERT GROOVES – an evening of Mystical & Uplifting Dance Music\, Cacao Ceremony & Fruit Social 7pm-9:45pm\n*PLUS* Belly Dancing Workshop 6pm-7pm\nWHAT IS “DESERT GROOVES” ALL ABOUT?\nMany of us know that certain music genres can take us into deep states of bliss. tuning us to aspects of ourselves that we have lost touch with.

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. \nURUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts – offering 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\nEmail: info@ecstaticdancelondon.com\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london\n \nCrew Sign up: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!

Like Bioenergetics and other somatic processes\, for me\, Trance Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation. I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous\, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go\, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.” – Seth Newman \nAs a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. He integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is 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. \nDiana River: Trained in classical music from a young age\, and later in contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision. A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond. Diana is passionate about bringing practices of rest and embodiment to others and her intention is to guide you on a journey of reconnection and self-discovery\, reuniting you with the source of who you are. \nShe is a co-founder of London Aerial Relaxation Pods and co-creator of many Ecstatic Dance London & URUBU wellbeing classes\, workshops\, retreats & festivals. \nDiana also has a keen interest in making delicious raw chocolate and drinks for cacao ceremonies\, events\, private clients and is constantly experimenting with new flavours and also makes amazing chai brewed from fresh spices! \nURUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts – offering a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices. \n\n\n\nWHAT YOU WILL NEED:\n1.

It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nWe all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is inside us! \nCACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL \nWe will set our intentions for Trance Dance with ceremonial grade cacao. 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. This rich velvety elixir is a doorway to the heart\, celebrated and honoured by the Incas\, Aztecs\, Mayans and in many ancient traditions. Cacao\, chocolate in its purest form\, is a heart opening & totally natural NON-psychedelic medicine\, containing an abundance of nutritional goodness & natural happy chemicals. \nRelease what no longer serves you\, and invite in what you want more of in your life! \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, sacred connection with other people\, in such a short time with strangers here in London is rare to find. The body – movement – connection – presence – passion and love. I felt it all… Grateful”  \n“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!”  \n“It was a very powerful\, letting go\, ritual experience. Brilliant!” \n“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!” \n“Wonderful experience. A magical journey into yourself\, and an opportunity to just enjoy dance with a lovely group of soul dancers at the same time. Every movement body was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman to create this fantastic dance\, it has helped me lot after a hard week. May Love connect us all. xxx” \n“Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:30PM – 5:15PM \nWe’re providing Londoners with a kind of sanctuary space on Sundays\, to deeply relax their nervous system\, be themselves\, release stress\, and rest their body. \nSoothing sounds will help to release the stress and tension.

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

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

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. \nURUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts – offering a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices. \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\nINSTAGRAM: @urubu_school_of_transformation\, @ecstaticdance_london\n\nFACEBOOK: Ecstatic Dance London\, URUBU\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\, Ecstatic Dance Festivals\n\nFACEBOOK GROUPS: URUBU - Ecstatic Dance London\, Ecstatic Dance London\n\nMEETUP: Urubu's Ecstatic Dance & Moving Meditation Community\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\n\nYOUTUBE: URUBU School of Transformational Arts\n\nWEBSITE: ecstaticdancelondon.com\n\nEMAIL: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com\n\nURUBU - YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!\n\n💜SEE ALL OUR UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events

I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous\, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go\, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.” – Seth Newman \nAs a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. He integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is 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. \nDiana Upite:  Trained in classical music from a young age\, and later in contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision.  A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond. \nDiana is passionate about bringing practices of rest and embodiment to others. 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. \nDiana also has a keen interest in making delicious raw chocolate and drinks for cacao ceremonies\, events\, private clients and is constantly experimenting with new flavours and also makes amazing chai brewed from fresh spices! Diana is a co-creator of many wellbeing classes\, workshops\, retreats and festivals. \nURUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts – offering a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices.  \n\n\n\nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n⋘ ─ ∗TRANCE DANCE & CACAO∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go. \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nWe all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is inside us! \nCACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL \nWe will set our intentions for Trance Dance with ceremonial grade cacao. 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. This rich velvety elixir is a doorway to the heart\, celebrated and honoured by the Incas\, Aztecs\, Mayans and in many ancient traditions. Cacao\, chocolate in its purest form\, is a heart opening & totally natural NON-psychedelic medicine\, containing an abundance of nutritional goodness & natural happy chemicals. \nRelease what no longer serves you\, and invite in what you want more of in your life! \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, sacred connection with other people\, in such a short time with strangers here in London is rare to find. The body – movement – connection – presence – passion and love. I felt it all… Grateful”  \n“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!”  \n“It was a very powerful\, letting go\, ritual experience. Brilliant!” \n“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!” \n“Wonderful experience. A magical journey into yourself\, and an opportunity to just enjoy dance with a lovely group of soul dancers at the same time. Every movement body was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman to create this fantastic dance\, it has helped me lot after a hard week. May Love connect us all. xxx” \n“Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:30PM – 5:15PM \nWe’re providing Londoners with a kind of sanctuary space on Sundays\, to deeply relax their nervous system\, be themselves\, release stress\, and rest their body. \nSoothing sounds will help to release the stress and tension. An opportunity to let go and reconnect with yourself. We will begin with a short guided meditation to prepare your mind and body and then bask in a variety of sound- Cosmic\, Ethereal Vocals and Electronic Soundscapes\, Textures\, Crystal Singing Bowls\, Gongs\, Handpan and much much more .  A Unique Experience! \nAs everything is vibrating so are we\, sometimes we can become out of tune in either mind body or spirit and dis-ease can start to take hold. Through the healing frequencies of sound therapy our bodies can be brought back in tune and we can begin to feel healthy and balanced once more. \nThe deep complex harmonics of multiple instruments quickly silence the mind and resonate through your body melting away boundaries between being awake and being asleep\, between inside and outside. \nMeditate and relax into the deepest conscious rest\, cleansing\, releasing\, healing and harmonizing on all levels. \nNow is always the perfect time to journey inward… \nA beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon!  \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE TEMPLE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

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.” \nAs a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \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 and started URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians. \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years.

Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \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 and started URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians.  \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations.  \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗RITUAL ECSTATIC TRANCE DANCE∗ ─ ⋙\n12:3OPM – 3PM \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go.  \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nWe all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is inside us! \nCACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL \nWe will set our intentions for Trance Dance with ceremonial grade cacao. 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.  This rich velvety elixir is a doorway to the heart\, celebrated and honoured by the Incas\, Aztecs\, Mayans and in many ancient traditions. Cacao\, chocolate in its purest form\, is a heart opening & totally natural NON-psychedelic medicine\, containing an abundance of nutritional goodness & natural happy chemicals.  \nRelease what no longer serves you\, and invite in what you want more of in your life! \nFacilitated by Seth Newman \nMy purpose is to facilitate rituals that empower “the whole human being” through dance and music. 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! \nIt is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens. \nTrance Dance ritual is an ecstatic\, creative process that returns us to the consciousness of the body and reclaims our Soul. For those who want to immerse themselves and explore their full potential\, body\, heart & soul! \nGive yourself to the dance of life! The Trance Dance ritual invites you to have a direct experience of freedom\, truth and power\, with awareness. A drug-free ecstasy! \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, sacred connection with other people\, in such a short time with strangers here in London is rare to find. The body – movement – connection – presence – passion and love. I felt it all… Grateful”  \n“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!”  \n“It was a very powerful\, letting go\, ritual experience. Brilliant!” \n“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!” \n“Wonderful experience. A magical journey into yourself\, and an opportunity to just enjoy dance with a lovely group of soul dancers at the same time. Every movement body was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman to create this fantastic dance\, it has helped me lot after a hard week. May Love connect us all. xxx” \n“Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗COMMUNITY DRUM CIRCLE∗ ─ ⋙ \nFEEL THE POWER OF THE DRUM!\n3:45PM – 5:30PM \nExperience the uplifting power of rhythm! Realign with yourself\, aligning with others and go deep through rhythm & trance.  Learn some traditional African and World rhythms\, create your own rhythms\,  learn songs and chants!  \nDrums & other percussion instruments will be provided\, there will be an opportunity to swap instruments (Djembes\, Dunduns\, Congas\, Surdos\, Bongos\, Frame Drums\, Shakers\, Cowbells\, Agogo\, Shekere sand more!). Feel free to bring your own drum if you have one.  \nNo skills or experience needed. All welcome.  \nDrums have been utilised in every culture down through the ages\, for many purposes from religious rituals\, ceremonies\, and as a way to communicate. Shamans used drumming as a means of reaching an altered or trance-like state so that they can connect with the non-ordinary states of being. Drumming has also been used therapeutically since ancient times to heal\, empower\, and unify.  \nDrumming is one of the ways we can connect though rhythm\, sound\, music!  \nREASONS TO START DRUMMING:  \nDrumming can have positive effects on our physical & mental wellbeing. Here’s why drumming is good for us: \n– Makes you happy. Participate in one of our drum circles and you will see how happy it makes you! Drumming releases endorphins\, enkephalins and Alpha waves in the brain\, which are associated with general feelings of well-being and euphoria. Induces deep relaxation. In one study\, blood samples from participants who participated in an hour-long drumming session revealed a reversal in stress hormones. \n– Boosts your immune system. Studies show that drumming circles boost the immune system. Barry Bittman\, MD\, neurologist and President of the Yamaha Music & Wellness Institute\, has shown that group drumming actually increases natural T-cells\, which help the body combat cancer as well as other viruses. \n– Creates a sense of connectedness. Drumming circles and group drumming classes provide an opportunity for “synchronicity” in that you connect with your own spirit at a deeper level while also connecting with other like-minded people.  \n– Aligns your body and mind with the natural world. The Greek origin of the word “rhythm” is “to flow.” Drumming allows you to flow with the rhythms of life by simply feeling the beat.  \n– Provides a way to access a higher power. Shamans often use drumming as a means to integrate mind\, body and spirit. They focus on the whole body and then integrate the healing at both the physical and spiritual level by drumming\, which connects spiritual forces. \n-Releases negative feelings. The act of drumming can serve as a form of self-expression. You can literally drum out your feelings. When held\, negative emotions can form energy blockages. The physical stimulation of hitting the drums can help remove those blockages. Drumming has even been used therapeutically to help addicts deal with their emotions. \n-Puts you in the present moment. While drumming you are moving your awareness toward the flow of life. When you are flowing with the rhythm of life you cannot be caught up in your past or worrying about your future. Allows for personal transformation. \n– Drumming stimulates creative expression. When you drum in a group\, you not only get to self-express\, but you get feedback from the other drummers. It’s the equivalent of talk therapy! Drum circles provide a means of exploring your inner self\, and expanding your consciousness while being part of a community. \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE TEMPLE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance. We love music. We love to inspire\, to connect\, to heal and transform!  \nDiscover dance as a moving meditation\, body ritual\, awareness practice & ceremony \nIn our Sunday Ecstatic Dance sessions\, the musical focus will be more of a World/Medicine music\, Afro-House & a Tribal Flow vibe. Our Saturday Ecstatic Dance sessions tend to be more of a celebration with a light-hearted party atmosphere\, in these new Sunday Dances\, you’re invited to explore  “movement as meditation” with beautiful music to accompany your journey… \nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to  explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. Move your body\, unleash the wild dancing self without caring what people think\, claim your freedom\, open your heart & touch the infinite! \nOur Ecstatic Dance classes create a safe and respectful environment that embraces ‘all ways’. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration\, connection\, fun\, healing\, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance.  \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. 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. \nWHAT TO EXPECT: \n1. Next-level\, conscious\, inspiring electronic dance music \n2. A beautiful\, sacred\, heartful and fun dance journey \n3. A safe space for you to dance freely in \n4. Vibrant people who love to dance and love music! \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up:  stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave. The Practice:  freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music\, the community and our own inner space direct our steps\, our movements\, our expression\, our journey. Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES: \nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers.  If you are more than 30 min late\, arriving after 6:30pm\, we won’t be able to let you join the session\, this is so we can all journey together. \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk to\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance  outside the building). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight  \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions!  \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your  email instead of asking for their contact details.  No means no.  \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \nNo experience necessary. All welcome.   \nCACAO  CIRCLE \nAt Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate\, RAW chocolate-CACAO!  We will provide complimentary Raw Vegan Cacao to superfood charge your dance with us!  \nCacao is the ultimate heart opener\, it will give you energy\, revitalise your BodyMind inviting you to express\, release & unleash your creativity during the dance!   \nOur Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best\, velvety tasting cacao in town for sure!). She uses ethically sourced\, highest quality ingredients from Guatemala\, directly from a reliable cacao bean farmer.   \nJoin us to explore Cacao + Ecstatic Dance as a potent synthesis for Transformation. After the dance warm up we will take a moment to attune and connect to what we are grateful for\, giving thanks for all the abundance in our life. \n\n\nSAFETY GUIDELINES & PREVENTION MEASURES:\nCOVID UPDATE: \nWe are working closely with the venue  and are taking appropriate steps to ensure our indoor dance sessions are covid-secure. \nWe kindly ask that you respect and follow Siobhan Davies Dance Studio safety guidelines.

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. 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\nSAFETY GUIDELINES & PREVENTION MEASURES:\nCOVID UPDATE: \nWe kindly ask that you respect and follow Siobhan Davies Dance Studio safety guidelines.

Tap water refill available at the venue\, outside the Roof Studio. \n4. Please bring your own drum if you have one. \n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗COMMUNITY DRUM CIRCLE∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:45PM – 5:30PM \nNo skills or experience needed. All welcome.  \nDrums have been utilised in every culture down through the ages\, for many purposes from religious rituals\, ceremonies\, and as a way to communicate. Shamans used drumming as a means of reaching an altered or trance-like state so that they can connect with the non-ordinary states of being. Drumming has also been used therapeutically since ancient times to heal\, empower\, and unify.  \nDrumming is one of the ways we can connect though rhythm\, sound\, music!  \nREASONS TO START DRUMMING:  \nDrumming can have positive effects on our physical & mental wellbeing. Here’s why drumming is good for us: \n– Makes you happy. Participate in one of our drum circles and you will see how happy it makes you! Drumming releases endorphins\, enkephalins and Alpha waves in the brain\, which are associated with general feelings of well-being and euphoria. Induces deep relaxation. In one study\, blood samples from participants who participated in an hour-long drumming session revealed a reversal in stress hormones. \n– Boosts your immune system. Studies show that drumming circles boost the immune system. Barry Bittman\, MD\, neurologist and President of the Yamaha Music & Wellness Institute\, has shown that group drumming actually increases natural T-cells\, which help the body combat cancer as well as other viruses. \n– Creates a sense of connectedness. Drumming circles and group drumming classes provide an opportunity for “synchronicity” in that you connect with your own spirit at a deeper level while also connecting with other like-minded people.  \n– Aligns your body and mind with the natural world. The Greek origin of the word “rhythm” is “to flow.” Drumming allows you to flow with the rhythms of life by simply feeling the beat.  \n– Provides a way to access a higher power. Shamans often use drumming as a means to integrate mind\, body and spirit. They focus on the whole body and then integrate the healing at both the physical and spiritual level by drumming\, which connects spiritual forces. \n-Releases negative feelings. The act of drumming can serve as a form of self-expression. You can literally drum out your feelings. When held\, negative emotions can form energy blockages. The physical stimulation of hitting the drums can help remove those blockages. Drumming has even been used therapeutically to help addicts deal with their emotions. \n-Puts you in the present moment. While drumming you are moving your awareness toward the flow of life. When you are flowing with the rhythm of life you cannot be caught up in your past or worrying about your future. Allows for personal transformation. \n– Drumming stimulates creative expression. When you drum in a group\, you not only get to self-express\, but you get feedback from the other drummers. It’s the equivalent of talk therapy! Drum circles provide a means of exploring your inner self\, and expanding your consciousness while being part of a community. \n\n\nVENUE:\nSiobhan Davies Dance Studio\, 85 St George’s Rd\, London SE1 6ER  \nNearest station Elephant & Castle\, please check tfl .gov for latest travel updates.

If you have any questions please feel free to send us an email: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com \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 brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \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 and started URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians.  \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations.  \n\n\nRHYTHM – THE MOTHER TONGUE \nThe spirit and magic of rhythm expressed on drums and percussion instruments cuts through all ages\, sexes\, religions\, races and cultures. “Rhythm\,” as Gabriel Roth says\, “is the mother tongue.” Rhythm is a universal language known to everyone\, even the youngest child\, if we can just “remember.” So in a very objective\, yet beautiful way\, an interactive drum circle puts us all on an equal footing with each other and brings us closer together.  \nDRUM CIRCLE – THE COOPERATION PRINCIPLE \nCo-operation and collaboration is the basic glue to a community. A community drum circle is a collaboratively self organized musical event created\, “in the moment\,” by all the people who participate. When we\, as a community\, drum together\, sharing our spirit in the form of rhythm\, it changes our relationships for the positive. As we play together\, we give ourselves a rhythmical massage\, an a emotional release and a healing. The release and healing is different for every person that is in the rhythm circle\, and it happens whether we are entraining ourselves into the circle by drumming\, or standing outside the circle and listening while tapping our feet and clapping along with the music. To make beautiful music together\, with rhythm instruments\, all we have to do is bring to the circle whatever rhythmical expertise we have to offer\, along with the excitement of sharing it with other people.  \nPeople of all levels of musical expertise come together in a community drum circle and share their rhythmical spirit with whatever drums and percussion they bring to the event.  \nThe quality of the music produced in an event like this is not based on the rhythmical expertise of the players\, but on the quality of their relationship with the other people in the circle. The result is those magical musical moments where one powerful voice is created out of the many. In those moments\, the players stop worrying about keeping time because time\, as they know it\, has stopped. In its place is a living breathing entity\, expressing timeless joy\, passion and release through the power of rhythm.  \nThat is the beauty of a community drum circle.  \n\n\nSAFETY GUIDELINES & PREVENTION MEASURES:\nCOVID UPDATE: \nWe are working closely with the venue  and are taking appropriate steps to ensure our indoor dance sessions are covid-secure. \nWe kindly ask that you respect and follow Siobhan Davies Dance Studio safety guidelines. We reserve the right to exclude and ask to leave any participant who does not honour the below safety guidelines: \nSYMPTOMS: If you are showing any Covid-19 symptoms\, please DO NOT attend the class.

Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \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 and started URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians.  \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations.  \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗TRANCE DANCE∗ ─ ⋙\n12:3OPM – 3PM \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go.  \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nWe all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is inside us! \nCACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL \nWe will set our intentions for Trance Dance with ceremonial grade cacao. 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.  This rich velvety elixir is a doorway to the heart\, celebrated and honoured by the Incas\, Aztecs\, Mayans and in many ancient traditions. Cacao\, chocolate in its purest form\, is a heart opening & totally natural NON-psychedelic medicine\, containing an abundance of nutritional goodness & natural happy chemicals.  \nRelease what no longer serves you\, and invite in what you want more of in your life! \nFacilitated by Seth Newman \nMy purpose is to facilitate rituals that empower “the whole human being” through dance and music. 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! \nIt is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens. \nTrance Dance ritual is an ecstatic\, creative process that returns us to the consciousness of the body and reclaims our Soul. For those who want to immerse themselves and explore their full potential\, body\, heart & soul! \nGive yourself to the dance of life! The Trance Dance ritual invites you to have a direct experience of freedom\, truth and power\, with awareness. A drug-free ecstasy! \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, sacred connection with other people\, in such a short time with strangers here in London is rare to find. The body – movement – connection – presence – passion and love. I felt it all… Grateful”  \n“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!”  \n“It was a very powerful\, letting go\, ritual experience. Brilliant!” \n“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!” \n“Wonderful experience. A magical journey into yourself\, and an opportunity to just enjoy dance with a lovely group of soul dancers at the same time. Every movement body was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman to create this fantastic dance\, it has helped me lot after a hard week. May Love connect us all. xxx” \n“Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗DRUM CIRCLE∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:45PM – 5:30PM \nExperience the uplifting power of rhythm! Realign with yourself\, aligning with others and go deep through rhythm & trance.

Feel free to bring your own drum if you have one.  \nNo skills or experience needed. All welcome.  \nDrums have been utilised in every culture down through the ages\, for many purposes from religious rituals\, ceremonies\, and as a way to communicate. Shamans used drumming as a means of reaching an altered or trance-like state so that they can connect with the non-ordinary states of being. Drumming has also been used therapeutically since ancient times to heal\, empower\, and unify.  \nDrumming is one of the ways we can connect though rhythm\, sound\, music!  \nREASONS TO START DRUMMING:  \nDrumming can have positive effects on our physical & mental wellbeing. Here’s why drumming is good for us: \n– Makes you happy. Participate in one of our drum circles and you will see how happy it makes you! Drumming releases endorphins\, enkephalins and Alpha waves in the brain\, which are associated with general feelings of well-being and euphoria. Induces deep relaxation. In one study\, blood samples from participants who participated in an hour-long drumming session revealed a reversal in stress hormones. \n– Boosts your immune system. Studies show that drumming circles boost the immune system. Barry Bittman\, MD\, neurologist and President of the Yamaha Music & Wellness Institute\, has shown that group drumming actually increases natural T-cells\, which help the body combat cancer as well as other viruses. \n– Creates a sense of connectedness. Drumming circles and group drumming classes provide an opportunity for “synchronicity” in that you connect with your own spirit at a deeper level while also connecting with other like-minded people.  \n– Aligns your body and mind with the natural world. The Greek origin of the word “rhythm” is “to flow.” Drumming allows you to flow with the rhythms of life by simply feeling the beat.  \n– Provides a way to access a higher power. Shamans often use drumming as a means to integrate mind\, body and spirit. They focus on the whole body and then integrate the healing at both the physical and spiritual level by drumming\, which connects spiritual forces. \n-Releases negative feelings. The act of drumming can serve as a form of self-expression. You can literally drum out your feelings. When held\, negative emotions can form energy blockages. The physical stimulation of hitting the drums can help remove those blockages. Drumming has even been used therapeutically to help addicts deal with their emotions. \n-Puts you in the present moment. While drumming you are moving your awareness toward the flow of life. When you are flowing with the rhythm of life you cannot be caught up in your past or worrying about your future. Allows for personal transformation. \n– Drumming stimulates creative expression. When you drum in a group\, you not only get to self-express\, but you get feedback from the other drummers. It’s the equivalent of talk therapy! Drum circles provide a means of exploring your inner self\, and expanding your consciousness while being part of a community. \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance. We love music. We love to inspire\, to connect\, to heal and transform!  \nDiscover dance as a moving meditation\, body ritual\, awareness practice & ceremony \nIn our Sunday Ecstatic Dance sessions\, the musical focus will be more of a World/Medicine music\, Afro-House & a Tribal Flow vibe. Our Saturday Ecstatic Dance sessions tend to be more of a celebration with a light-hearted party atmosphere\, in these new Sunday Dances\, you’re invited to explore  “movement as meditation” with beautiful music to accompany your journey… \nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to  explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. Move your body\, unleash the wild dancing self without caring what people think\, claim your freedom\, open your heart & touch the infinite! \nOur Ecstatic Dance classes create a safe and respectful environment that embraces ‘all ways’. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration\, connection\, fun\, healing\, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance.  \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. 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. \nWHAT TO EXPECT: \n1. Next-level\, conscious\, inspiring electronic dance music \n2. A beautiful\, sacred\, heartful and fun dance journey \n3. A safe space for you to dance freely in \n4. Vibrant people who love to dance and love music! \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up:  stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave. The Practice:  freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music\, the community and our own inner space direct our steps\, our movements\, our expression\, our journey. Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES: \nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers.  If you are more than 30 min late\, arriving after 6:30pm\, we won’t be able to let you join the session\, this is so we can all journey together. \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk to\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance  outside the building). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight  \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions!  \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your  email instead of asking for their contact details.  No means no.  \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \nNo experience necessary. All welcome.   \nCACAO  CIRCLE \nAt Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate\, RAW chocolate-CACAO!  We will provide complimentary Raw Vegan Cacao to superfood charge your dance with us!  \nCacao is the ultimate heart opener\, it will give you energy\, revitalise your BodyMind inviting you to express\, release & unleash your creativity during the dance!   \nOur Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best\, velvety tasting cacao in town for sure!). She uses ethically sourced\, highest quality ingredients from Guatemala\, directly from a reliable cacao bean farmer.   \nJoin us to explore Cacao + Ecstatic Dance as a potent synthesis for Transformation. After the dance warm up we will take a moment to attune and connect to what we are grateful for\, giving thanks for all the abundance in our life. \n\n\nSAFETY GUIDELINES & PREVENTION MEASURES:\nCOVID UPDATE: \nWe are working closely with the venue  and are taking appropriate steps to ensure our indoor dance sessions are covid-secure. \nWe kindly ask that you respect and follow Siobhan Davies Dance Studio safety guidelines.

Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \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 and started URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians.  \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations.  \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE TRANCE DANCE:\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ECSTATIC TRANCE DANCE∗ ─ ⋙\n12:3OPM – 3PM \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go.  \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nWe all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is within! \nCACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL \nWe will set our intentions for the Trance Dance journey with ceremonial grade cacao. Our Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best\, velvety -asting cacao in town for sure!). She uses ethically sourced\, highest quality ingredients from Guatemala\, directly from a reliable cacao bean farmer.  This rich velvety elixir is a doorway to the heart\, celebrated and honoured by the Incas\, Aztecs\, Mayans and in many ancient traditions. Cacao\, chocolate in its purest form\, is a heart-opening & totally natural NON-psychedelic medicine\, containing an abundance of nutritional goodness & natural happy chemicals.  \nRelease what no longer serves you\, and invite in what you want more of in your life! \nFacilitated by Seth Newman \nMy purpose is to facilitate rituals that empower “the whole human being” through dance and music. 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! \nIt is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens. \nOur Trance Dance rituals are an ecstatic\, creative process that returns us to the consciousness of the body and reclaims our Life-energy. It is for those courageous dancers who want to immerse themselves and explore their full potential\, body\, heart & soul! \nGive yourself to the dance of life! The Trance Dance ritual invites you to have a direct experience of freedom\, truth and power\, with awareness. A drug-free ecstasy! \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, sacred connection with other people\, in such a short time with strangers here in London is rare to find. The body – movement – connection – presence – passion and love. I felt it all… Grateful”  \n“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!”  \n“It was a very powerful\, letting go\, ritual experience. Brilliant!” \n“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!” \n“Wonderful experience. A magical journey into yourself\, and an opportunity to just enjoy dance with a lovely group of soul dancers at the same time. Every movement body was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman to create this fantastic dance\, it has helped me lot after a hard week. May Love connect us all. xxx” \n“Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience.
