⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙
3:45PM – 5:30PM
Soothing sounds will help to release the stress and tension. An opportunity to let go and reconnect with yourself through deep relaxation and guided meditation while basking in Cosmic, Ethereal Vocals and Electronic Soundscapes, Textures, Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs and much much more . A Unique Experience!
As 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.
The 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.
Meditate and relax into the deepest conscious rest, cleansing, releasing, healing and harmonizing on all levels.
A beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:

⋘ ─ ∗CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS∗ ─ ⋙
12:3OPM – 3PM
Creating a safe and respectful space, we will explore simple exercises aimed at strengthening our ability to connect to one another and to become more comfortable with honesty and vulnerability. Learn to honour your personal boundaries, learn to enjoy your desire for intimate contact, and to communicate both with authenticity. Become more grounded and vital, more sensual and more connected with your feelings and your heart.
For us, Tantra is the total experience of life, multi-dimensional human life! Of course, sex and sexuality are a part of life, we wouldn’t be here without it. But it is not the main focus of our work. The main focus is on deepening our connection to the Heart! Tantra is an invitation to slow down and bring your awareness back into the present, back to your body and felt sense and to simple, yet, precious moments.
Tantra is about: -Developing our sensitivity to ourselves and what we are experiencing, – Allowing ourselves to be, and to be seen,- Developing love and acceptance for ourselves, – Becoming aware of the ways we shut down.
Physical contact: all exercises are designed not to involve any physical contact due to Covid, however if guidelines are eased at the time of retreat, physical contact will be optional. ”You never have to do anything you don’t want to do” is our mantra.
FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS TANTRA & CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS WORKSHOPS:
“I felt so amazing after. I woke up the next day feeling so present and full of love for every moment and for every person I met! Amazing. Thank you, Seth, for creating all these different ways for self-exploration and fun and healing! Big hugs to all the lovely people who were there!”
“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” – Alison
“At the end of the group, I feel a greater sense of my own identity. I feel accepted. During the course, I have taken risks with emotional connections. I found people exceptionally loving and supportive and tolerant. It gave me great strength and confidence.”
“I want to thank you all for being part of my journey. I’ve really enjoyed sharing my time and space with you and feeling that connection – I can still feel it. I think I’ll always remember “meeting” people in such an intimate way, trusting and loving and sharing.“
“I’m experiencing so much change right now, things are getting really exciting for me and undoubtedly our time together has played a big part in that. I’ve noticed myself breathing lately….I guess have been holding my breath for a long time. I’m just really grateful. I’m still spinning right now, I’m on a high navigating some big changes and picking up opportunities I wouldn’t have even noticed before. I feel much more “me” than before and sort of wondering where I’ve been :)”
“Thank you, Seth, for your facilitation of a very grounding and loving EcoTantra group. I have done quite a few tantric events, but Seth’s was different and special for me. We grew in trust and friendship, together. When I think back over the highlights, it was the music and dancing, the open circles and all the sharing closeness and humour. I grew to love all of you. The regularity and certainty that we would meet was comforting and helped to create the tenderness and depth of spirit. It was fun and safe. It was a soft and gentle process and it was perfect. I felt safe.”

⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙
3:45PM – 5:30PM
Soothing sounds will help to release the stress and tension. An opportunity to let go and reconnect with yourself through deep relaxation and guided meditation while basking in Cosmic, Ethereal Vocals and Electronic Soundscapes, Textures, Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs and much much more .

As 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.

⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙
6PM – 8:15PM
Brought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance. We love music. We love to inspire, to connect, to heal and transform!
Discover dance as a moving meditation, body ritual, awareness practice & ceremony
In 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…
Ecstatic 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!
Our 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.
Enter 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.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
1. Next-level, conscious, inspiring electronic dance music
2. A beautiful, sacred, heartful and fun dance journey
3. A safe space for you to dance freely in
4. Vibrant people who love to dance and love music!
PRACTICE 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.
ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:
No 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.
1. 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.
2. Drug-Free, Smoke-Free, Alcohol-Free environment
3. No photos or videos, Mobile phones muted and out of sight
4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other
5. Move your body however you wish
6. 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!
7. 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.)
8. 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.
“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
No experience necessary. All welcome.
CACAO GRATITUDE CIRCLE
At Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate, RAW chocolate-CACAO! We will provide complimentary Raw Vegan Cacao to superfood charge your dance with us!
Cacao is the ultimate heart opener, it will give you energy, revitalise your BodyMind inviting you to express, release & unleash your creativity during the dance!
Our Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best, velvety tasting cacao in town for sure!). She uses ethically sourced, highest quality ingredients from Guatemala, directly from a reliable cacao bean farmer.
Join 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.

DJ, FACILITATOR & SOUND SYSTEM
MVMNT sessions are DJed by James and facilitated by Seth.
James’ passion for drum & bass was born growing up in London and was influenced by the music of the day. Pirate radio, Drum & Bass clubs, and the UK Bass Music scene.
His creativity was kindled with the potential of the finely detailed dynamics of high-quality speakers with which to deliver a digital sound experience in the best possible way. Once he lovingly built the sound system, he realised only certain music translates to his finely detailed speakers. That there is his mission, and deep intention.. to combine great music with high-quality speakers that deliver the detail and sonics that our very fine ears deserve!
And so, we are in for a real treat. As well James’ delectable taste in Drum & Bass, we will be offered the ecstatic experience and sonic delight of his sound system!

WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?
MUSIC – MOVEMENT – COMMUNITY!
Brought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance. We love music. We love to inspire, to connect, to heal and transform!
Ecstatic 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!
Our 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.
Enter 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.
PRACTICE 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.
ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:
No 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.
1. 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.
2. Drug-Free, Smoke-Free, Alcohol-Free environment
3. No photos or videos, Mobile phones muted and out of sight
4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other
5. Move your body however you wish
6. 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!
7. 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.)
8. 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.
“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

⋘ ─ ∗TANTRIC TRANCE DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙
12:3OPM – 3PM – Tantric Trance Dance – A Tantric Shamanic Dance Journey
Through this transformational dance process, you will be guided into befriending all the aspects of your Being. Your Sexual Nature as man or woman, your Hearts deep longing, and your personal connection to the Great Mystery.
This is a spirituality that includes our sexuality. And this is a really important distinction between this work and other dance practices. Moving Meditation and Alchemical Practice.
This is a very unique dance experience, a blending of ancient and contemporary transformational tools, including: Bioenergetics, Ecstatic Dance, emotional release (Catharsis), Chakra Journeying, Vipassana Meditation, Latihan … with the powerful use of a blindfold – all these elements woven together invite you into a deep state of presence, awakening & celebration. Waking up to celebrate the one that you are.
Enter into the life of the Body – Guided by our unique musical soundtracks created specifically for this healing modality. Tantric Trance Dance™ takes participants on the journey within.
This is an active meditation for deeply connecting with your Being. Through the stages, you will begin to strip off layers of muscular armouring, surrendering to the dance of the body, letting go of baggage you may of been carrying for years, and connecting with your Souls calling.
“You are the fusion of Nature and Spirit, the meeting point of Earth & Sky”
“Between the head and feet of any given person is a billion miles of unexplored wilderness. . . . We dance to shed skins, tear off masks, crack molds, and experience the breakdown – the shattering of borders between body, heart and mind . . .” – Gabrielle Roth
“WE have come to be danced not the nice invisible, self conscious shuffle but the matted hair flying, voodoo mama shaman shakin’ ancient bones dance the strip us from our casings, return our wings sharpen our claws & tongues dance the shed dead cells and slip into the luminous skin of love dance…” -Jewel Mathieson
The Tantric Trance Dance™ process is a unique opportunity to connect with all the wild energies of your Nature, with your Heart and Spirit.

FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS TANTRIC TRANCE DANCE WORKSHOPS:
“It was a very powerful, letting go, ritual experience. Brilliant!”
“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!””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””Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!”
“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.”
“That was, excellent, friendly, well lead very different experience. Thank you”

⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙
3:45PM – 5:30PM
Soothing sounds will help to release the stress and tension. An opportunity to let go and reconnect with yourself through deep relaxation and guided meditation while basking in Cosmic, Ethereal Vocals and Electronic Soundscapes, Textures, Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs and much much more . A Unique Experience!
As 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.
The 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.
Meditate and relax into the deepest conscious rest, cleansing, releasing, healing and harmonizing on all levels.
A beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

We’re providing Londoners with a kind of sanctuary space to dance, be themselves, have fun, release stress, connect with their body, and stretch themselves beyond their usual way of being. You can attend the whole day or just drop-in for single workshops. No experience necessary.
There is this interesting phenomenon called “Entrainment” which occurs when different vibrating objects/ particles/ or even people come into proximity: they will often start, after a little time, to vibrate together at the same frequency. They “sync up/entrain,” sometimes in ways that can seem mysterious.
At Ecstatic Dance London we seek to raise the vibration of each of our dancers, but also as a community, to help spread inner peace, joy, relaxation and, a kind-hearted soul connection with your wider circle. Through music, dance, creative movement, body-mind integration practices and drumming circle we invite you to co-create this day of togetherness with us and RAISE OUR COLLECTIVE VIBRATION!
During the day you will have the chance to dance and dive into a selection of some very beautiful and unique movement & drumming practices.

MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:

⋘ ─ ∗TRANCE DANCE∗ ─ ⋙
12:3OPM – 3PM
A beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual.
Through 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!
THE INVITATION
Trance 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.
⋙ Our consciousness can then flow, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens…
Natural 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!
We all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is inside us!
CACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL
We 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.
Release what no longer serves you, and invite in what you want more of in your life!
Facilitated by Seth Newman
My 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!
It is through “the flow experience” that we express, feel and find ourselves, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.
Trance 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!
Give 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!
Feedback from previous Trance Dance events:
“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”
“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!”
“It was a very powerful, letting go, ritual experience. Brilliant!”
“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!”
“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”
“Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!”
“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.”
“That was, excellent, friendly, well lead very different experience. Thank you”

⋘ ─ ∗DRUM CIRCLE∗ ─ ⋙
3:45PM – 5:30PM
Experience 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!
Drums & 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.
No skills or experience needed. All welcome.
Drums 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.
Drumming is one of the ways we can connect though rhythm, sound, music!
REASONS TO START DRUMMING:
Drumming can have positive effects on our physical & mental wellbeing. Here’s why drumming is good for us:
– 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.
– 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.
– 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.
– 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.
– 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.
-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.
-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.
– 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.

⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙
6PM – 8:15PM
Brought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance. We love music. We love to inspire, to connect, to heal and transform!
Discover dance as a moving meditation, body ritual, awareness practice & ceremony
In 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…
Ecstatic 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!
Our 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.
Enter 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.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
1. Next-level, conscious, inspiring electronic dance music
2. A beautiful, sacred, heartful and fun dance journey
3. A safe space for you to dance freely in
4. Vibrant people who love to dance and love music!
PRACTICE 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.
ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:
No 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.
1. 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.
2. Drug-Free, Smoke-Free, Alcohol-Free environment
3. No photos or videos, Mobile phones muted and out of sight
4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other
5. Move your body however you wish
6. 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!
7. 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.)
8. 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.
“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
No experience necessary. All welcome.

WHAT IS THE DAY ABOUT?
We’re providing Londoners with a kind of sanctuary space to dance, be themselves, have fun, release stress, connect with their body, and stretch themselves beyond their usual way of being.
You can attend the whole day or just drop-in for single workshops. No experience necessary.
During the day you will have the chance to dance and dive into a selection of some very beautiful and unique movement and breathwork practices.
SCHEDULE:
◈ 12:30pm – 3pm The BIG LOVE Experience – Bliss Beyond Fear – Learn powerful Bioenergetic Alchemy exercises for releasing stress, fear and shock from the body. This workshop is designed to teach you how to gently release tension and stress held in the body.
During this workshop you will learn a series of carefully designed Bioenergetic Alchemy™ exercises and postures (similar to Yoga or Tai Chi) where we will release fear and tension from our body to re-experience our natural state, what the Kalahari Bushmen call, “The Big Love”.
“My classes follow a format of checking in with the body, warm-ups, grounding and building the body’s energy, then discharging the energy through movement and expression. This is followed by relaxation. The immediate result is a felt sense of security, vibrancy and exhilaration.” – Seth Newman
Various spiritual teachings, such as A Course in Miracles, say that there are only two fundamental emotions: love and fear. If we can begin to safely & gently release tension, shock & fear from the body, we then open to an experience of the body in its natural state, deeply relaxed, at ease, and with a sense of peace and wellbeing. The Kalahari Bushmen call this natural state, the BIG LOVE. (Please bring a yoga mat & blanket)
◈ break 45 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the kitchen)
◈ 3:45pm-5:30pm Breath of Love Breathwork Session – Deep connected breathing
Our Breath of Love Breathwork sessions are a wonderful way to deeply relax and rejuvenate your body, your mind, and your entire nervous system. It is also a safe and healthy way to reach creative states of consciousness, allowing a participant to access their deeper/higher consciousness. Resulting in improved physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Through the use of grounding exercises, tapping and conscious, connected diaphragmatic breathing, each individual is the leader of their own journey.
Our facilitation includes space-holding, affirmations, aromatherapy and Reiki to assist in this personal process. At the very least, the breathwork will be relaxing and detoxifying… and at most, a Big Love experience!
◈ break 30 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the kitchen)
◈ 6pm – 8:15pm Ecstatic Dance/Movement Meditation with Cacao Circle (with sound system and optional of Silent Disco Headphones to fully immerse into the music! We will provide complimentary Raw Vegan Cacao – super yummy, the best in London for sure! )
◈ 8:15pm – Workshop ends
◈ 8:15pm -8:45pm Optional social with refreshing fruit to nourish you after the dance

MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:

⋘ ─ ∗Bioenergetic Alchemy®∗ ─ ⋙
12:3OPM – 3PM
What Is Bioenergetic Alchemy®?
Bioenergetic Alchemy® is a very powerful body-mind approach to psychological, physical and emotional health and well-being.
Bioenergetic Alchemy® works to melt the frozen history in the body, through a series of gentle and powerful exercises, bringing to consciousness the holding patterns, and releasing the energy that has been blocked. Tense areas of the body are gradually opened so that the energy can begin to move more freely, allowing the body to regain its natural aliveness and vitality, harmonising the relationship between the body, mind and spirit.
At the personal level, the highly experiential nature of Bioenergetic Alchemy® is a catalyst for transformation, as participants work in the laboratory of their own process and their relationship to others. The work opens the heart, brings grounded empowerment to the personality, and a deeper connection to the core; center of your authentic self.

These Bioenergetic Alchemy™ sessions are for individuals interested in their own self-development and/or healing processes. The classes offer deep experiential learning about the body-mind and participants are encouraged to develop skills in present-moment listening, sensing, and emotional/feeling awareness related to the body-mind.
The class is an experiential, deep-dive into yourself and your relationship with your body, and your life energy!
Feedback from our previous workshops:
“Thank you Seth. The weekend was an exceptional experience of deep healing, awakening, and opening. I feel so light, peaceful, and full of Love. Through the journey we took, I touched some of my wounds, gently but deeply releasing and healing what was ready to be alchemised. Thank you to all the other lovely participants. Please organise the next one soon :-)” Tanja
“A truly awesome experience. A wonderful and safe space to learn and experience bioenergetic alchemy. Thanks again to Seth for the expert guidance and support.” Amo
“Like the Bioenergetic Alchemy classes, but better. The weekend gave me the opportunity to go deeper into my body and discover new experiences which I hadn’t been able to tap into before. It was a good mix of different exercises, and I had a really blissful experience with the breathwork.” Vijay
” I feel so grateful I had the opportunity to attend this weekend event. I felt that Seth, through his presence, allowing, way of being, created a very unique, safe space in which I could release, discover, explore and meet different aspects of myself. I was amazed how during the two days I was – often unexpectedly and gently – led to bring forth and embrace a child, an ancient woman, an animal, a spoiled brat, a mother, a lover, a goddess… Also through Seth’s guidance and suggestions I felt within very short spaces of time both my immense sorrow/yearning/pain and my immense joy/gratitude, realising how close to each other these seemingly opposites are. Today I feel a more solid belonging in the world, and a heightened awareness of the soles of my feet on the floor, like the earth was more magnetic!” Maria

3:45PM – 5:30PM
Limitless Benefits:
Breathwork has profound benefits, and is an ongoing practice.
Practicing Breathwork enables you to……
1) Oxygenate 2) Restore 3) Detox 4) Gain Clarity 6) Express suppressed emotions 7) Release old tensions 8) Amplify Energy 9) Expand awareness 10) Remove negative blocks11) Forgive past occurrences 12) Feel empowered 13) Cultivate inspiration14) Settle into a deep relaxed state 15) Tap into your truest you
Technical Aspects of Breathwork:
There are a few key parts to the breathing pattern:
1. It is conscious, so you are very aware of the fact you are breathing
2. It is connected; so that the natural pause between the inhale and exhale is merged, creating a continuous loop of breath.
3. It is relaxed, meaning the exhale is relaxed, and there is an emphasis on the inhale.
4. It is open, meaning it is performed with a wide open mouth.
5. It is deep, meaning you are breathing fully into the lower belly, and all the way up into the chest.
What a typical session looks like:
After some initial warm up movements, stretches and grounding exercises. You will be invited to lie on a yoga mat and breathe for about an 3/4 of an hour, and in this time we will offer positive affirmations, as well as support for deeper breathing. We may also use hands on bodywork to enhance a deeper & fuller breath. We will end the session with a final relaxation, with further guidance and meditation.
You will walk away with a new found refreshed perspective on life, feeling like you truly enabled yourself to integrate and release that which no longer serves you.
Walking away with a feeling of lightness, vitality, and love…

⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙
6PM – 8:15PM
Brought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance. We love music. We love to inspire, to connect, to heal and transform!
Discover dance as a moving meditation, body ritual, awareness practice & ceremony
In 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…
Ecstatic 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!
Our 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.
Enter 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.

2. A beautiful, sacred, heartful and fun dance journey
3. A safe space for you to dance freely in
4. Vibrant people who love to dance and love music!
PRACTICE 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.
ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:
No 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.
1. 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.
2. Drug-Free, Smoke-Free, Alcohol-Free environment
3. No photos or videos, Mobile phones muted and out of sight
4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other
5. Move your body however you wish
6. 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!
7. 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.)
8. 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.
“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
No experience necessary. All welcome.
