As 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.

MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:

⋘ ─ ∗RITUAL ECSTATIC 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”

⋘ ─ ∗COMMUNITY DRUM CIRCLE∗ ─ ⋙
FEEL THE POWER OF THE DRUM!
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 TEMPLE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙
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.

ABOUT ECSTATIC DANCE:
It’s 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!
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.
Our 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 dance classes is self-exploration, developing feel-good endorphins, and generally improving our community’s mental and physical wellbeing! While also being mindful of physical distancing and keeping everyone as safe as possible!
No experience necessary.
ECSTATIC DANCE PRACTICE SPECIFICS:
Warm-up: 15 minutes stretch, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave.
The Practice: 60 minutes of freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set with our resident DJ Seth Newman. 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: 15 minutes of Deep Relaxation (weather dependant)
“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
ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:
1. No talking during the dance.
2. Drug-Free, Smoke-Free, Alcohol-Free environment.
3. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other.
4. Move your body however you wish.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
1. Next-level, conscious, inspiring electronic dance music
2. A beautiful, sacred, heartful and fun dance class
3. A safe space for you to dance freely in
4. Vibrant people who love to dance and love music!

“Enlightened Electro, World Beat, Deep House and Downtempo Bliss, plus a few surprises slipped in for good measure! Ecstatic Music Journeys for Conscious Movement and Sacred Celebration.”

WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?

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

“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

2. Drug-Free, Smoke-Free, Alcohol-Free environment.

ECSTATIC ROOTS – Bioenergetics, Chi-gong & Eco-Therapy + Nature Creative Flow Meditation + Ecstatic Dance & Cacao: Outdoor workshop
Experience the Profound Healing Energy of the Earth
– Learn techniques for tapping into Nature.
– Open to your senses, relax your body, feel rejuvenated and grounded.
– Cultivate a sense of serenity and peace within you.
– Experience an oasis of calm right here in London.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
This work is a synthesis of Chi-Gong, Eco-Therapy, Bioenergetic Alchemy™ and Humanistic Embodiment Practices.
The foundation is learning how to deeply connect with your physical body and the sensations within, and then expanding this awareness out into Nature and Planet Earth.
The invitation of this workshop is to open yourself up beyond your usual armoured self, to the power of the Earth’s powerful healing energies, and receive the vibrational charge and more subtle energies from the Earths core.
We will be using Bioenergetic Alchemy™ exercises, Chi-Gong & Humanistic Embodiment Practices to release tension, ground our BodyMind in the present moment and let in the healing energies of the Earth. Bioenergetic Alchemy™ is a unique movement experience, where we begin to soften the muscular tension and chronic holding in our bodies through a series of gentle stretches, grounding and self expression exercises. Relieving stress, enhancing our emotional well-being and sense of self and beginning to open our heart to life.
You will learn how to tap into the abundant energy of the earth beneath your feet. 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; centre of your authentic self and divine essence.
We love creating opportunities to connect deeply with our bodies and to Nature, herself.

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! )

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.
Our video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOrELWRAqkU
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:

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…

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.

“It was amazing!! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon with amazing tunes in a splendid environment!! Thank you everyone for your lovely presence and jubilant energy!!”
” Thank you! it was amazing to dance in the nature and connect with so many wonderful people! ”
ABOUT DJ AND FACILITATOR:
◈ Sessions are facilitated and DJed by Seth Newman, Seth is the pioneer of Ecstatic Dance in the UK, who started Ecstatic Dance classes with his band Urubu & Ecstatic Dance London in 2009 and has been running conscious dance as well as various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years.
◈ His inspiration for these classes come from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy, the Human Potential Movement, 5 Rhythms, Active meditations and from the teachings of the Indian Mystic Osho whom he grew up with in India in the 1970s. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces.

ABOUT ECSTATIC DANCE:
It’s 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!
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.
Our 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 dance classes is self-exploration, developing feel-good endorphins, and generally improving our community’s mental and physical wellbeing! While also being mindful of physical distancing and keeping everyone as safe as possible!
No experience necessary.
