Some music has the power to lift us out of our everyday autopilot, our everyday trance into moments of pure presence… into our natural capacity for wonder, joy, and ecstatic connection.
For us, dance has always been more than just movement, it is meditation, a way to tap into something far greater than our individual selves. Across cultures and generations, time & space, people have danced to heal, to connect, and to remember who they truly are.
PRANA MYSTIC is an invitation to move, release, and open up — to let go of city stress, to dance in lightness and joy, and to share the experience with a beautiful community.
Our journey will be guided by a powerful, uplifting, and heart-expanding WORLD MUSIC set — weaving together mystical, euphoric, and transformative sounds to awaken your creativity and deepen your connection with your dance and your heart.
🌿 To support this journey, we’ll also share ceremonial-grade cacao in a guided Cacao Ceremony & Chakra Journey with Seth, a grounding practice that opens the heart, nurtures the body, and aligns our energy centres with positivity before we dance.
Come as you are. Dance barefoot. Leave recharged, uplifted, and inspired. 🌟 No prior experience of ecstatic dance is necessary. All are welcome.

WHY CACAO?
At Ecstatic Dance London, we adore raw ceremonial cacao. It’s a natural heart-opener and gentle energiser that supports emotional flow, creativity, and embodied presence on the dancefloor.
Your complimentary raw vegan cacao is lovingly prepared using ethically sourced, high-quality cacao from Guatemala.
Free from gluten, dairy, nuts, and refined sugar, velvety, nourishing, and deeply delicious.
Cacao + Ecstatic Dance is a potent combination for transformation, connection, and joyful expression.

5:50pm-7pm – Kundalini Meditation
Stress Release • Active Meditation • Ecstatic Movement
Step into the evening with a practice designed to help your whole system unwind. These sessions guide you back to your natural, relaxed state through a simple, powerful active meditation!
Join for Kundalini Meditation (5:50–7pm) and, if you wish, stay on for Ecstatic Dance & Cacao + Wellness space (7:15–10pm), all held in the warm glow of our stunning Grade II listed venue in Maida Vale.
WHAT IS KUNDALINI MEDITATION? | 5:50–7pm
Kundalini Meditation is often described as a “shake-and-dance” meditation, an embodied practice that helps release stress, soften mental noise, and reconnect you to grounded presence.
Rather than trying to force relaxation, we begin by letting the body move in the ways it naturally wants to: shaking, dancing, stillness, and rest. This supports the nervous system to discharge excess activation and settle more easily into calm.
The 4 Stages (60 minutes total)
Stage 1 Shaking (15 mins)
Standing with soft knees, you’ll be guided to allow natural shaking/tremoring. This helps loosen tension, wake up energy, and clear stress from the body.
Stage 2 Dancing (15 mins)
Music opens into free movement. No steps to follow — simply let the body lead, expressing whatever wants to move.
Stage 3 Stillness (15 mins)
You pause and become completely still (standing or sitting). This is where the nervous system can integrate and the mind naturally quietens.
Stage 4 Rest (15 mins)
You lie down and rest. This final stage supports deep integration — letting the practice land in the body.
What you’ll get from the practice

Release built-up tension in the body
Soothe and regulate the nervous system
Shift from “head” into embodied presence
A clearer, calmer baseline — often felt immediately, and strengthened over time

Shaking, rocking, vibration and spontaneous movement are natural human responses to stress, overwhelm, and even ecstatic states. Variations of these practices appear across many cultures and traditions — a reminder that the body has always known how to come back to balance.
Come shake it off. Move it through. Rest into yourself.

FEEDBACK FROM OUR SESSIONS:
“Words are inadequate to express the uniquely nurturing experience I had during your class… and the music was amazing! The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe, suspended in the air, slowly rocking, with the gentle breath meditation, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison
“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.” – Navpreet

WHY HAMMOCKS? ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH
Two new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea.
“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies, and often ourselves, to sleep,” says lead author on the new paper, Konstantinos Kompotis, at the University of Lausanne, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.”
Dr Michael J Breus, a Certified Sleep Specialist, states that it’s the simplest of soothing, sleep-inducing remedies, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep.
But why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock, can soothe anxiety. Dr. Herbert Benson, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension.
The gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation.
We all instinctively know about the power of a soothing, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation.

Move through your blocks, get creative and unleash your power in 2026!

Our The Artist’s Way group is a mentorship journey dedicated to clearing the blocks, patterns, and unseen inner obstacles that stand between you and your fullest creative expression.
It is a companion process to The Artist’s Way book, but shared… in community, with guidance, embodiment, and accountability!!

What to expect?

Guided journaling + inner inquiry
Somatic grounding + creative embodiment
Group reflection + compassionate witnessing
Practical exercises drawn from The Artist’s Way

12-Week Online Monday Evenings 7-9pm
Daily Practices // Weekly Journeys
Many people start The Artist’s Way, only to stall halfway through.
It’s because creativity has a way of stirring up all those old internal voices about what we can and can’t do.
When the inner critic gets loud, it’s easy to shut down!
This group is designed to change that. You’ll have support, accountability, and a clear structure so you can actually complete the journey, stay with the process, and experience the full healing impact of reconnecting with your creativity.“
WHYJOIN US?
Because every creative block has a backstory.
Procrastination, perfectionism, fear, avoidance, explosive anger, overwhelm, the “I’ll do it later” that turns into never…
We see these “shadow-expressions” as protective strategies, old beliefs, inherited stories, forgotten wounds, and unclaimed strengths.
When we bring these buried resources into the light, we tap into an unstoppable force of creativity and soul energy.
When we learn to work with these shadow expressions, rather than be controlled by them, they become powerful allies and the creative act becomes a doorway to the Soul.

Ecstatic Dance London – Pioneers of the Ecstatic Dance scene in the UK since 2009 are super thrilled to be offering their 15th ‘My Ecstatic Odyssey’ event on Sat, 3 January, 2026 – 7pm-9:45pm! “Devoted to all those lovers of electronic dance music!”
You are warmly invited to join us for our freestyle, expressive dance & moving meditation sessions. This is a unique sober Saturday night dance in London!
WHAT IS “MY ECSTATIC ODYSSEY” ALL ABOUT?
My Ecstatic Odyssey is inspired by some of our summertime open-air Sunset ecstatic dances. There is something magical about a sunset or sunrise that takes us deep into The Now. That mystical threshold between past and future, where the world starts to feel alive! We’ll be channelling the spirit of Ibiza, Goa, and inspiring Sunset/Sunrises worldwide in this potent time of year.
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 euphoric & uplifting dance music set to connect us deeply with our dance, our hearts, and our creativity.
We’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.
No prior experience of dance necessary. All welcome.

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 sessions create a safe and respectful environment that embraces ‘all ways’. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration, connection, fun, healing, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance.
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

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

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.

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 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.
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

A beautiful way to honour the Solstice by letting your inner light be seen.
Break – 75 mins (teas/coffee available)

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, Ecstatic Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation.

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.

⋘ ─ ∗ENVISION 2026: Shape Your Vision, Ignite Your Path ∗ ─ ⋙
11:45AM–2:30PM (no entry after 12pm)
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This session is rooted in the Creative Flow Dojo® approach. Whether you’re longing to meet a partner, reshape your career, take bold new steps, establish healthier routines, or simply feel more connected to yourself and your life-vision, this workshop supports you in uncovering your heart-felt intentions for 2026.
What is the Creative Flow Dojo®?

Creative Flow refers to that optimal body–mind state where clarity, ease, intuition and performance align.
The Dojo is the learning space, a dedicated container for exploration, repetition, growth and mastery.

Most of us have tasted moments of “creative flow,” those sometimes rare moments when everything clicks and we feel intimately connected to “the best of ourselves”. This workshop explores how to enter that state consciously, and with intention. And we’re excited to be sharing some of the Creative Flow Dojo’s unique practices with you!
Throughout the “Playshop” (play is such an important aspect of tapping into our creativity!), you’ll learn how to unfold the inner and outer conditions that support generativity, how to shift into a positive flow states where creativity, resilience and presence come online.
ENVISION is a space to pause, listen, and chart the year ahead with clarity.
This workshop is an anchor point at the turning of the year: a chance to name what matters, align with your deeper intentions, and step into 2026 with more confidence, focus and energy.
If you’re ready to make 2026 a year of heartfelt clarity and meaningful change, join us for ENVISION and begin shaping your next chapter with purpose.

THE GATHERING: CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS & BREATHWORK RITUAL
3:30pm–5:45pm
This is an afternoon of slowing down, softening your edges, and reconnecting with the simple truth of being human. Expect guided meditations, somatic grounding, centring practices and relational exercises that help you meet yourself and others, with more presence.
The Gathering invites you to honour your boundaries and recognise your natural rhythms of connection and rest, and communicate from a place of clarity and authenticity. From this grounded foundation, we move into a breathwork ritual using conscious connected breath and gentle eye-gazing. Ancient practices that are simple yet profound, opening inner doors that often stay closed in the rush of everyday life.
At its heart, this workshop is about learning to feel more. To feel more alive, to be more aligned and attuned to your centre.
You’ll explore how to sense your body, recognise when you contract, soften into what’s present, and allow yourself to be seen without performance or pressure. It’s a chance to develop self-acceptance, relational ease, and the capacity to stay open even as you meet the unknown.
Throughout the session you’ll be guided to:
• Tune into the subtle sensations of your breath and body
• Open to authentic connection through eye-gazing and breath synchronisation
• Notice the dance between your inner and outer worlds
• Access expanded states of awareness and emotional release
• Cultivate the courage to stay present with yourself and others
• Join a supportive community committed to growth and genuine human contact
These breath-and-connection rituals have been used across cultures for centuries to deepen relationships, awaken the heart and catalyse transformation. Here, you’ll experience them in a safe, nourishing, modern container crafted for our Winter Solstice gathering.
Whether you’re new to breathwork or well-practised, this workshop offers practical tools you can carry into your relationships, your communication and your daily life.
If you feel the pull, join us. This is your Solstice doorway: a space to open, soften and shine your light.

An evening of Mystical & Uplifting Medicine Music, Cacao Ceremony & Fruit Social
7pm–9:45pm
Global Bass | Ethno-Fusion | Folktronica | Medicine Music | Shamanic Soundscapes
WHAT IS “MEDICINA”?
As the longest night of the year gathers us together, Medicina invites you into a deep, soulful and uplifting dance journey, a blend of ancient global rhythms, mystical shamanic soundscapes and electro-folktronica designed to open the heart, activate the body and awaken the luminous within.
This is dance-as-meditation at its most alive and vibrant. A modern ritual rooted in ancient traditions of the Solstice through movement, song, rhythm and communal gathering.
The music is crafted to guide you through a full arc: grounding, expanding, releasing and connecting. It’s your chance to shake off the city, free your voice, and rediscover the vital spark that Winter dulls.
We begin with a rich ceremonial-grade cacao offering and guided intention-setting with Seth, an invitation to soften into your flow, connect with your heart and enter the dance with clarity and presence. From there, the soundwave unfolds into an ecstatic journey designed to energise, open, express, and shine.
No experience is needed. All bodies, all backgrounds, all rhythms welcome.
Our Ecstatic Dance container is held with simple guidelines that allow everyone to drop deeper: • No booze • No shoes • No phones • No chit chat on the dancefloor • Move however you wish • Respect yourself and others
We ask all dancers to arrive on time – this is a shared arc from beginning to end.
No entry after 7:30pm to keep the container safe and intact.
This is a strictly alcohol-free, drug-free, smoke-free space. We create a natural high through music, breath, movement and cacao. Anyone arriving intoxicated will be refused entry in order to honour the safety of the group.

FEEDBACK FROM OUR SESSIONS:
“Words are inadequate to express the uniquely nurturing experience I had during your class… and the music was amazing! The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe, suspended in the air, slowly rocking, with the gentle breath meditation, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison
“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.” – Navpreet

WHY HAMMOCKS? ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH
Two new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea.
“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies, and often ourselves, to sleep,” says lead author on the new paper, Konstantinos Kompotis, at the University of Lausanne, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.”
Dr Michael J Breus, a Certified Sleep Specialist, states that it’s the simplest of soothing, sleep-inducing remedies, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep.
But why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock, can soothe anxiety. Dr. Herbert Benson, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension.
The gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation.
We all instinctively know about the power of a soothing, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation.

ECSTATIC DANCE LONDON: The Sober ReLOVEution!

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 sessions create a safe and respectful environment that embraces ‘all ways’. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration, connection, fun, healing, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance.
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

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 sessions create a safe and respectful environment that embraces ‘all ways’. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration, connection, fun, healing, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance.
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

5:50pm-7pm SHAKING MEDICINE® (optional workshop, see ticket types)
Shaking Medicine® Stress Release System for Self-Development and Personal Growth
Join us before the dance, 5:50pm-7pm for Shaking Medicine® session
WHAT IS SHAKING MEDICINE®?
Shaking Medicine® is seen as one of the “rituals of resilience”. It is way to develop resilience and release and let go of built-up stress, tension and trauma. It is is a body based (somatic) approach to stress, tension and trauma release. It helps us to activate shaking, which despite common misconceptions is a very good thing. Tremoring is our body’s natural stress recovery response.
Practicing Shaking Medicine® not only helps to bring balance into our bodies (and life!) but releases deep-seated muscular tension, stress, and mild trauma. These monthly classes will enable you to understand your nervous system, and you will have a chance to learn and practice Shaking Medicine® method.
Come, shake it off and shake your way to good health!
Shaking Medicine® is sometimes referred to as Bioenergetics or Trauma Release. It is one of the world’s oldest self-help medicines.
Shaking, rocking, vibration and oscillation are natural human reactions to: Stress, Trauma & Ecstatic states. Shaking Medicine® is, in short, the healing power of ecstatic movement. Inspired by and brought to us by nature. The practice of Shaking is known by many: Quakers, Gnostics, Taoists, Yoginis, First Nations peoples, Sufis, Druids, Zen Buddhists and more.
We are inspired by teachers such as Peter Levine, Bradford Keeney, Osho, Wilhelm Reich, Alexander Lowen, John Peirakkos, David Bercelli.
“Trauma recovery work has got to develop a new paradigm, because the paradigm that we have now is based on post-traumatic stress disorder and you go to a one to one therapist. You cannot do that with large groups of people. So there has got to be a new paradigm shift in the realization of “how do we do recovery from PTSD on a large scale population?” How do we get whole groups of people, like villages for example, or an entire school system healed? So that’s the first paradigm shift, we have to change our concept of PTSD recovery so that we can work on a large scale.”
– Dr. David Bercelli

SAFE SPACE
This class is an inclusive space focused on supporting each and every one of its participants. Please be respectful of others’ space, property, needs, and process. Any display of antisocial or abusive behaviour will result in removal from the class without a refund.
PERSONAL SAFETY
A Shaking Medicine® class might not be the most suitable setting for people with severe trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, burnout, and serious health conditions or those who find it very challenging to self-regulate (unable to calm down when emotionally distressed). It would be more supportive to initially work in individual sessions.
PREGNANCY
Shaking Medicine is not recommended.
RECENT INJURIES & SURGERIES
It is best to give your body at least 3 months to heal after a surgery or serious injury before doing Shaking Medicine®. Please contact us via email if you would like to discuss your circumstances but we would advise that consult your doctor.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
This is an active meditation. It is about self-discovery, embodiment and relaxation. In our work, meditation is not concentration, but relaxation. You will simply relax into the shaking. Simply relaxing into yourself. The more you relax, the more you feel yourself open and flexible. Relaxation means falling into such a strong state where you are not doing anything, you simply relax into the shaking.
Shaking Medicine® is an organic, dynamic, rejuvenating practice that fuses the elements of movement and stillness to get you out of your head and into your body.
This practice supports and inspires instinctual intelligence – a conduit for self-healing through accessing the body’s nervous system for a safe, natural, well-being experience.
As we shake, we remember how to let go of control and all effort, we relax, allowing ourselves to let go of anxieties and stress to help regulate emotions and develop greater resilience.
In this class, you can expect to enhance your strength and flexibility, improve your energy levels, heal injuries through the stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce inflammation, improve your sleep, create energetic and emotional hygiene for overall well-being, promoting balance and harmony on a deep level.
The music will support the experience. We end with a relaxation stage where you are invited to lay down, relax and let your whole Body-Mind system rest.
Expect to expect nothing but what naturally arises and unravels as you tune in to what is real for you in any given moment.

Shaking Medicine® – a Ritual of Resilience!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
1. Please come already dressed in comfortable clothing suitable for movement/fitness and dress in layers. Bring a set of dry clothes/small towel as you will probably get sweaty during the session.
2. Yoga mat & blanket. Blindfolds will be provided. Now when it’s getting colder perhaps a pair of socks and an extra layer so that you are comfortable.
3. a Reusable water bottle. Tap water refill available at the venue.
4. A healthy snack to have after the session.

CAN YOU SHAKE YOUR WAY TO GOOD HEALTH?
Shaking Medicine® is sometimes referred to as Bioenergetic Shaking, or Kundalini shaking. It is one of the worlds oldest self-help medicines. Shaking, rocking, vibration and oscillation are natural human reactions to: Stress, Trauma & Ecstatic states. We inherently use oscillation as a tool to calm our nervous system. for example, think of why we rock a crying baby to sleep.
The practice of Shaking is known by many: Quakers, Gnostics, Taoists, Yoginis, First Nations peoples, Sufis, Druids, Zen Buddhists and more.
Shaking Medicine® is a Self-Healing body response to trauma as it can help to clear and release blocks that cause dis-ease. After a shaking the session, the body naturally shifts to a higher vibration and the shaking brings all of the body systems into balance.
Shaking Medicine® is a wonderful way to let the body really move, shake up and release stress & tension, and bring in new fresh energy – revitalising yourself Body Heart & Soul.
Shaking Medicine® is both 1) a contemporary somatic therapy practice for grounding and mobilising the Body-Mind. And 2) an ancient Shamanic technique for achieving non-ordinary states of consciousness – optional blindfolds available!
HEALTH BENEFITS OF SHAKING:
One of the easiest ways to help the body release tension & stress is to shake. The simple act of shaking your body can produce a multitude of health benefits. Although it may seem simple, it is a very powerful technique.
The main purpose of our Shaking Medicine classes is to relax the body and release tension. When we shake the body, we are relaxing all our joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments, helping us to loosen up and feel relaxed.
Shaking gently bounces our organs and stimulates our lymphatic system. Our lymphatic system is like our bodies draining system and is responsible for the removal of waste material from every cell in the body, in addition to regulating the immune system. Maintaining a healthy lymphatic system is critical if we want to be radiant and healthy.
Shaking also benefits our circulatory system. Most of us hold on to a lot of tension in the body, especially around the neck, shoulders and back area. Poor posture, sitting on chairs and sofas for extended periods of time, stress and even negative thought patterns and emotional blockages can all contribute to the build-up stress and tension in the body. We spend our days hunched over computers, our heads locked on to our iphone screens, then we go home and slouch on the sofa to watch TV for hours.
Our fast-paced, stress-filled lifestyles leave us feeling ‘uptight’ and most of us can never fully relax. If we allow this tension to build up in our bodies if can manifest itself as pain, stiffness, inflammation, and disease.

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

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.

WHAT IS SHAKING MEDICINE® 5:50PM-7PM (optional workshop before ED)
Shaking Medicine® is seen as one of the “rituals of resilience”. It is way to develop resilience and release and let go of built-up stress, tension and trauma. It is is a body based (somatic) approach to stress, tension and trauma release. It helps us to activate shaking, which despite common misconceptions is a very good thing. Tremoring is our body’s natural stress recovery response.
Practicing Shaking Medicine® not only helps to bring balance into our bodies (and life!) but releases deep-seated muscular tension, stress, and mild trauma. These monthly classes will enable you to understand your nervous system, and you will have a chance to learn and practice Shaking Medicine® method.
Come, shake it off and shake your way to good health!
Shaking Medicine® is sometimes referred to as Bioenergetics or Trauma Release. It is one of the world’s oldest self-help medicines.
Shaking, rocking, vibration and oscillation are natural human reactions to: Stress, Trauma & Ecstatic states. Shaking Medicine® is, in short, the healing power of ecstatic movement. Inspired by and brought to us by nature. The practice of Shaking is known by many: Quakers, Gnostics, Taoists, Yoginis, First Nations peoples, Sufis, Druids, Zen Buddhists and more.
We are inspired by teachers such as Peter Levine, Bradford Keeney, Osho, Wilhelm Reich, Alexander Lowen, John Peirakkos, David Bercelli.
“Trauma recovery work has got to develop a new paradigm, because the paradigm that we have now is based on post-traumatic stress disorder and you go to a one to one therapist. You cannot do that with large groups of people. So there has got to be a new paradigm shift in the realization of “how do we do recovery from PTSD on a large scale population?” How do we get whole groups of people, like villages for example, or an entire school system healed? So that’s the first paradigm shift, we have to change our concept of PTSD recovery so that we can work on a large scale.” – Dr. David Bercelli

SAFE SPACE: A Shaking Medicine® is an inclusive space focused on supporting each and every one of its participants. Please be respectful of others’ space, property, needs, and process. Any display of antisocial or abusive behaviour will result in removal from the class without a refund.
PERSONAL SAFETY: A Shaking Medicine® class might not be the most suitable setting for people with severe trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, burnout, and serious health conditions or those who find it very challenging to self-regulate (unable to calm down when emotionally distressed). It would be more supportive to initially work in individual sessions.
PREGNANCY: Shaking Medicine is not recommended.
RECENT INJURIES & SURGERIES: It is best to give your body at least 3 months to heal after a surgery or serious injury before doing Shaking Medicine®. Please contact us via email if you would like to discuss your circumstances but we would advise that consult your doctor.

FEEDBACK FROM OUR SESSIONS:
“Words are inadequate to express the uniquely nurturing experience I had during your class… and the music was amazing! The feeling of being securely wrapped in a silk hammock from head to toe, suspended in the air, slowly rocking, with the gentle breath meditation, the crystal bowls and the ambient music created a sublime and profound atmosphere. It was as if I was in a cocoon of total support, allowing peace to flow into my entire being.” – Alison
“Being someone who is always on the move and finds it very difficult to relax, I found this session to be really valuable ‘me time!’ Initially, I found it difficult to let go and unwind where the muscles in my arms and legs were contracting. After a few minutes, I started to drift away into a soft slumber which was deeply relaxing. Despite this my senses were heightened and I became very conscious of the sounds that seemed to travel through my ears, vibrating all the way into my body. The gentle movements of the hammock with the music in the background made me feel like a young infant being rocked to sleep. A wonderfully calming and soothing experience, with the added bonus of not having to put in any physical effort. Great! I look forward to more of this.” – Navpreet

WHY HAMMOCKS? ROCK-ABYE-BABY & RESEARCH
Two new studies published in Current Biology suggest our brains are evolutionarily programmed to respond to rocking. Research also provides insight into why rocking is calming to babies. The brain wave synchronization occurs much easier through a rocking motion and allows the baby to feel more at home (i.e. it feels closer to being in the womb). And let’s not forget that we spend the first nine months of our lives being gently rocked in an amniotic sea.
“Since immemorial times we’ve rocked our babies, and often ourselves, to sleep,” says lead author on the new paper, Konstantinos Kompotis, at the University of Lausanne, also in Switzerland. “Our study provides new insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.”
Dr Michael J Breus, a Certified Sleep Specialist, states that it’s the simplest of soothing, sleep-inducing remedies, something we all naturally do: rocking a baby gently to sleep.
But why does it work? How exactly does a gentle rhythmic motion change the sleep architecture of the brain? Repetitive motions, like those experienced in the gentle rocking of a hammock, can soothe anxiety. Dr. Herbert Benson, founder of Harvard’s Mind/Body Medical Institute, recommends repetitive movement to elicit your body’s relaxation response. This reaction allows a lower heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension.
The gentle rocking of a hammock will boost brain wave oscillations associated with better sleep and has been shown to provide a fertile ground for deep relaxation. More specifically, the rocking fortifies the brain waves that are naturally present during sleep which help maintain deep relaxation. Neuroscientist Laurence Bayer of the University of Geneva in Switzerland, likens the findings to our intuitive appreciation that a slowly rocking hammock can relax us and do wonders for our mood. “This is potentially a very promising avenue for future clinical research,” he notes. Rocking to sleep may have significant health benefits such as better quality of sleep and even improved long-term memory formation.
We all instinctively know about the power of a soothing, repetitive rocking motion and this in combination with live ambient soundscapes and aromatherapy is a potent synthesis for deep relaxation.
