Ecstatic Dance London | Tufnell Park
Each Saturday night, we open the doors to a new sonic adventure, from the deep bass of Shamanic Bass Temple, to the exotic pulse of Desert Grooves, the fiery release of Catharsis or MVMNT, and the uplifting and heart-opening electronic dance music of My Ecstatic Odyssey. Every session is a unique genre-specific experience (please check which event you’ve signed up to!) yet all follow the same timeless flow, the ecstatic wave, a rise and return through the natural rhythms of our human energy: building from the cacao ceremony to the wild euphoric peak, then softening back into grounded peace and ending with a relaxation phase.

🎶 Next-level, ecstatic dance journeys!
🥁 Live percussion to ignite the dancefloor and merge rhythm with movement
🍫 Heart-opening cacao ceremony & positive intention setting to begin the night

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

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.

KALEIDOSCOPE SOUND SYSTEM: A Sonic Journey into EDM (guest DJ James) - unique ecstatic dance experience!
2026-03-07 19:00 - 21:45 | 2 minutes from Tufnell Park Station (VENUE ADDRESS in order CONFIRMATION EMAIL, please SCROLL DOWN in the email), Burghley Road, London, England, NW5 1UJ, United Kingdom
Ecstatic Dance London teams up with James from Nothing Casual to unveil KALEIDOSCOPE SOUND SYSTEM – an experiment in sonic architecture! TICKETS ON EVENTBRITE.

“There’s something beautifully rebellious about building a dance floor around sound itself.”
Ecstatic Dance London teams up with James from Nothing Casual to unveil…
KALEIDOSCOPE SOUND SYSTEM: Free Your Body – Open Your Mind! an experiment in sonic architecture, ecstatic movement and electronic underground culture.
This is not just another DJ set. It’s an improvised sonic ritual into collective transformational experiences.
We’ll close the curtains… to contain the space… and let the sound breathe…
The room becomes the instrument!

This is a dance floor as a listening chamber.
Club energy without the BS.
Underground culture without the chit chat.
A sober, consent-led sonic immersion into Ecstatic Dance with the pioneers of the Ecstatic Dance Movement here in the UK, Ecstatic Dance London.

James has spent years collecting music the way some people collect rare books or vintage synths, not by genre alone, but by how it performs on high-definition speakers. Certain tracks don’t reveal themselves on laptop monitors or club rigs tuned for volume over clarity. They bloom only on full-range systems where bass has depth and texture, where midrange detail feels tactile, where glitch fragments shimmer like broken light.
So he did the only logical thing a true sound obsessive would do. He built the system! This bespoke, full-range bass sound architecture translates music that would otherwise go unheard, turning subtle production choices into felt experience. It’s less “playlist” and more “acoustic sculpture.”
The journey itself? Kaleidoscopic.
It is an ecstatic wave, but not a predictable one.
James’ roots trace back to pirate radio, that brilliant, law-skirting laboratory of UK underground culture. As a teenager he absorbed the melting pot: jungle, drum & bass, UK garage, pirate airwaves where Caribbean sound system lineage collided with British urban futurism. Those frequencies didn’t just birth scenes; they shaped global electronic music.
He’s particularly fascinated by how UK underground DNA mutated in the US, morphing into glitch, mid-tempo breaks, and bass-heavy experimentation. Kaleidoscope fuses these lines of inheritance together… classic jungle energy, modern technical drum & bass, fractured American glitch aesthetics… all unified by one criterion:
KALEIDOSCOPE SOUND SYSTEM: Close the Curtains – Free Your Body – Open Your Mind!

1) Strictly no latecomers! – Sorry, please arrive on time!

-We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone showing symptoms of an infectious illness, including a new cough. This is to protect vulnerable attendees and maintain a peaceful environment.

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.

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

DJ & FACILITATOR:
◈ Sessions are facilitated and DJed by Seth Newman – the pioneer of Ecstatic Dance in the UK since 2009!

CONNECTIVAL - Connection Workshops, Ecstatic Dance & Community
2026-03-15 14:30 - 20:30 | The Amadeus, 50 Shirland Road, London, England, W9 2JA, United Kingdom
A half-day gathering of embodiment & authentic connection in West London. Workshops, ecstatic dance sound journey & community social space. TICKETS ON EVENTBRITE.

CONNECTIVAL
Connection, Embodiment, Ecstatic Dance & Community in the Heart of London. Evening Ecstatic Dance 🎶MUSIC VIBE: Afro/ Brazilian/ World Beats/ Medicine /Shamanic
📍 The Amadeus, Maida Vale, West London
📅 Sunday 15 March
⏰ 2:30pm–8:30pm
🔞 18+ | Sober Event
Why Connectival? And Why London Needs It
London is one of the most vibrant cities in the world, yet many of us feel disconnected, overstimulated, and yearning for genuine human connection.
Connectival, created and hosted by Ecstatic Dance London in collaboration with guest facilitators, is a response to that need.
This gathering (we plan to run this every month with different workshops & guest facilitators) offers practical tools for connection that you can take into everyday life through movement, presence, and authentic conversation. These practices foster deeper relationships with yourself and with others, particularly in a fast-paced city environment.
Connectival widens the idea of love beyond romance into something more human and sustainable. Connection, community, expression, presence, and belonging.
Connectival is rooted in consent, inclusivity, embodied awareness, and respect for boundaries.
This is a space to feel safe, welcome, and human.
In a city that rarely slows down, Connectival is an invitation to pause, move, and reconnect with yourself and with others.
What Is Connectival?
Connectival is a half-day embodied connection gathering bringing together:
• Guided embodiment and connection practices
• Authentic relating and verbal connection tools
• An extended ecstatic dance journey hosted by Ecstatic Dance London
• Sound journey for integration
• Spacious time to connect, rest, or simply be
All held in a warm, consent-led, agreements-based, connection-positive environment.
You are welcome to come alone, with friends, or with a partner.
The Journey & Schedule: (Scroll down to read more info about facilitators)
💗2:30pm–3pm | Arrival and Landing
Doors open, arrival, and settling into the space.
⬆️Upstairs: LAND & GROUND: unfacilitated movement space. Stretch, move, sit in meditation, do yoga, or just lie on the ground and let the music wash over you.
⬇️Downstairs: HANG OUT & CHAT: Space to leave bags/ jackets/ shoes. Hang out, verbal & social space with taro & oracle cards, chai & herbal teas.
💗3pm | Doors Close
No entrance after 3pm to create a safe space for people at the event
💗3pm-4pm | Connectival Opening Circle & Workshop
⬆️Upstairs: The container begins. We talk through the agreements, offer a consent-based mini-workshop and answer any questions.
💗4:10pm–5:30pm | Parallel Connection Workshops, see details below. Both are consent-based, and open to all. No prior experience needed, just a willingness to be present and human.
⬆️Upstairs: An authentic relating and movement connection workshop EMBODIED CONNECTION – facilitated by Sabi Kerr. This workshop blends authentic relating and embodiment practices to create a space for deeper connection with yourself and with others. Through guided exercises, partner interactions, and body based awareness practices, you’ll explore how to communicate honestly, listen with presence, and notice what is happening in the body in real time. The experience invites curiosity, playfulness, and grounded awareness, helping you develop more authentic expression and a felt sense of connection in everyday relationships. Optional touch may be offered and is always consent-based.
⬇️Downstairs: An embodied connection workshop MUSH® – facilitated by Seth Newman & team of assistants, exploring presence, awareness, and connection through touch – always consent-based. MUSH® is a conscious cuddle and human connection community rooted in consent, clarity, and care. It is a non-sexual, agreements-based touch practice designed to support nervous system regulation, wellbeing, and a sense of belonging through safe, platonic physical contact. MUSH® is facilitated, structured, and values-led. It exists to offer something many adults are quietly missing: warm, human contact held within clear boundaries. MUSH® is not a dating space. Every session is guided, every form of touch is negotiated, and every participant is supported to stay in choice – with their body, their voice, and their pace.
💗5:30–7:45pm | Doors open for evening Ecstatic Dance & Cacao (no entry after 5:45pm so we can all journey together) 🎶MUSIC VIBE: Afro/ Brazilian/ World Beats/ Medicine /Shamanic ecstatic dance journey.

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.
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

2026-03-21 11:45 - 22:15 | 2 minutes from Tufnell Park Station (VENUE ADDRESS in order CONFIRMATION EMAIL, please SCROLL DOWN in the email), Burghley Road, London, England, NW5 1UJ, United Kingdom
You are warmly invited to join us for TRYBE® – an exploration of Trance Dance & Cacao, a powerful Rage Ritual & Ecstatic Dance & Cacao! TICKETS ON EVENTBRITE

Step over the Threshold into our Spring Equinox portal. ✨🔥TRYBE® – Shamanic Trance Dance, Sacred Rage Ritual®, Prana Mystic: Ecstatic Dance + Cacao Ceremony
On Spring Equinox 2026, we gather in the heart of London to step across a threshold together.
Spring Equinox is the moment of balance, light and dark held in equal measure.

When: March 21st, 11:45am–10pm
Where: Tufnell Park (2 minutes from the station)

You are warmly invited into TRYBE: a transformational urban retreat woven from three powerful experiences:
🌑 Blindfolded SHAMANIC TRANCE DANCE & Cacao Ceremony
🔥 The RAGE RITUAL™ process
🌍 PRANA MYSTIC: Global Bass | Ethno-Fusion | Folktronica | Shamanic Soundscapes Ecstatic Dance

1) SHAMANIC TRANCE DANCE – Our journey begins in the dark.

The blindfold comes on. The outer world dissolves. With cacao warming the heart and ancient shamanic drums calling to us… into the dance… we turn inward to dance our prayer.
Shamanic Trance Dance is an ancient technology of consciousness, rhythm guiding you beneath the thinking mind into embodied knowing.
Then we move into fire. 🔥

2) The RAGE RITUAL™ is not about chaos or freaking out! It’s about reclaiming life-force! Anger, when expressed consciously, is clean energy. It sets boundaries. It restores dignity. It protects what matters.

Through our unique guided process, breath and embodied activation, you’ll be invited to unlock your roar in a space that is structured, grounded and safe enough.
And as the sun sets, we gather again. 🌅

3) PRANA MYSTIC rises… global basslines, ethno-fusion textures and shamanic soundscapes carry us into ecstatic dance. Cacao flows. Intentions are seeded. Bodies sweat. The dancefloor becomes temple and playground at once. 🌀💫

No talking. No alcohol. Just presence, music, and raw human electricity. Dance. Move. Connect. Release. Meditate. Celebrate.
TRYBE is a modern-day sanctuary for Londoners who crave something deeper than the usual night out.
Each gathering is like a mini urban retreat, a space to drop armour, meet your edges, rediscover embodied joy and stretch beyond your usual way of being.
Come for the full arc of the journey or drop into individual sessions. All are welcome. No experience necessary.

💜 NOVEMBER 18-22 ECSTATIC DANCE AUTUMN RETREAT & RESTIVAL 2026

DJ & FACILITATOR:
◈ Sessions are facilitated and DJed by Seth Newman – pioneering the Ecstatic Dance movement in the UK since 2009!
”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.”

MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:
⋘ ─ ∗TRANCE DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY∗ ─ ⋙
11:45AM – 2:30PM (no entry after 12pm)
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!
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”

⋘ ─ ∗ RAGE RITUAL™ – Unlock & Activate Your ROAR! ∗ ─ ⋙
3:30PM-5:45PM (no entry after 3:45pm)
What is Rage Ritual™?
This is a workshop designed to create an environment in which we can release our natural anger & aggression in a safe space, and in a safe way, without judgement and with a positive appreciation of our innate power and strength!
Often in our culture, we are taught from a very young age, to hide our emotions and bottle up the anger, sadness, and pain that we feel inside.
Rage Ritual™ will teach you how to get in touch with these feelings, and express your natural emotions in a healthy way, & in a safe enough space.
The Process
The Rage Ritual™ process begins with grounding and centering mindfulness practices. The first step is to become embodied and learn how to first come home to the safety within. So it is a very structured workshop designed for you to experience the healing effects of releasing anger and aggression, transforming it, like alchemy, from lead into gold. It can be an incredibly vulnerable experience to allow our internal feelings to be witnessed and released so expect to release emotions, to cry, to scream perhaps.
We’ll be tapping into our Bioenergetic Alchemy toolkit, which is rooted in humanistic embodiment practices, to offer you a powerful container to access and release pent-up feelings, claim your boundaries, and step into your power.
As the process continues, we move from the grounding practices to the emotional release exercises, to begin to express, the deeply suppressed anger held in the body.
Many people cry or have epiphanies during this process as emotions and traumas that have been stored for sometimes, many years can come up.
Overall, Rage Ritual can be extremely healing. We know the idea that anger isn’t acceptable in our culture, and for good reason, it hasn’t been allowed to be expressed in healthy and safe ways. But holding onto and suppressing anger and aggression can be equally harmful! We need to learn to express our natural emotions in a healthy way & in safe spaces.
We have designed this workshop to be as accessible as possible for those who are ready to dive in wholeheartedly, and ACTIVATE THEIR ROAR!
Strictly no latecomers! – Sorry, please arrive on time! Unfortunately, if you are more than 15 minutes late for the workshop , you will not be allowed entry (and there can be no refunds, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. Thank you for understanding – please plan your travel to arrive early to be on time.
Disclaimer
While this work may have therapeutic benefits, this is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing significant mental health challenges, we strongly encourage you to seek 1-1 support from a qualified psychotherapist.
While we do our best to create an environment that feels safe and inclusive, it is your responsibility to look after your own needs and boundaries. If this is something you struggle with, or you are concerned about any element of this workshop please contact us in advance. We are very willing to chat and check in about whether this workshop is right for you at this time.
This workshop is for you if:

You want to release your anger but don’t know how to or are afraid of doing it alone
You feel tensions stuck in your body (neck, lower back pain, headaches) that come after episodes of anger, frustration,, or sadness
You feel ready to shift stuck patterns
You are tired of not being heard or not being taken seriously
You’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power
You are angry about the injustices of this world
You are angry about women being subjected to violence
You are angry about the current situation regarding the overexploitation of the Earth

How you may benefit from this work:
Better Boundary Setting
– Feeling anger helps you to understand where your boundaries lie, and through this process, you strengthen your ability to say NO.

You’ve had enough of playing small and are ready to fully step into your power

Ecstatic Dance London – Pioneers of the Ecstatic Dance scene in the UK since 2009
Many of us know that some music has the power to lift us into states of pure ecstasy — awakening parts of ourselves we may have forgotten. When we combine this type of world music with dance, we can reconnect with our natural sense of wonder, freedom, and ecstatic expression.
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.

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

FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS CLASSES:
“A wonderful session, very recommended! Seth and Dee create a calm, magical space where you receive natural healing energy of relaxation and music. Flowing gently in the light hammock helps to recreate the atmosphere in the womb or in early childhood when you are loved, safe and protected. This experience will bring you healing on several levels: physical, emotional, mental, relaxation, connection to your inner self and your angels. Many thanks for organising such a unique and absolutely fulfilling experience. I will definitely come again.” – M.Zhuravleva
“Thank you so much Seth and Dee – I felt so comfortable in the hammocks, I was worried that I might be claustrophobic as it looks tighter in the picture but not at all, the material feels great and you can breathe freely. The music and singing were great and brought up emotions & different states: somewhere I actually forgot where I was. Also had some physical trembling in my body and movement of energy, which surprised me. I left the session feeling relaxed and expanded and very present! Woke up feeling good in my body and very rested. A lovely experience.” – Alexandra
“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
“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
“This was one of the most powerful things I have done in ages. It has really shifted something for me. This morning I keep bursting into giggles! Thank you so much to Seth and everyone else who held the space.”
“Powerful stuff. Highly recommend giving it a go.”
“What an incredible time I had last night! When I arrived, I was feeling very low and in my head. The Bioenergetic Alchemy session brought me back to my body and allowed me to connect to some suppressed sadness. I feel alive, connected and expanded. I cannot put into words my deep gratitude for this experience!“

MORE INFO ABOUT OUR WORKSHOPS:
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. 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. Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a relaxation. WHAT MUSIC TO EXPECT: “Enlightened Electro, World Beat, Deep House and Downtempo Bliss, plus a few surprises slipped in for good measure! Ecstatic Music Journeys for Conscious Movement and Sacred Celebration.”
BIOENERGETIC ALCHEMY™ – We work with our bodies to transform and to heal. A unique movement experience, where we begin to soften the muscular tension and chronic holding in our bodies through a series of gentle stretches, grounding and self-expression exercises.
BREATHWORK TRANSFORMATIONAL HEALING – Release Energetic, Emotional & Physical layers of negative imprints & conditioning. We will be exploring Neo-Reichian Breathwork- practice is a deep conscious, circular connected breathing and is a beautiful way to peel back the layers of the self, connect to essence, and embrace every part of yourself. Each participant becomes the leader of their own healing journey, towards wholeness and health.
SINGING – As everything is vibrating so are we. There can be no sound without a vibration. Explore and let your voice be heard in a safe environment. Discover the joy of singing, the non-judgmental aspect of singing, the communal part of it, the part where differences are reconciled and we’re all just in it together, that’s the truly uplifting power of singing. The history of music and singing has always been communal. Meditate, sing or listen. Yes, even just listening can activate some of the oxytocin release, that social bonding hormone. A beautiful and powerful way to start/end our day together at the retreat.
SOUND JOURNEYS – Multi-sensory sound journey experience with live ambient music, and aromatherapy to soothe your stresses away and lift your spirit! An immersive restorative experience inviting your body and nervous system into a deeply relaxed state. An opportunity to relax 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 .
YOGA NIDRA – Conscious Sleep Guided Meditation for Deep Body Relaxation and Mind Alertness. Yoga Nidra is an ancient form of guided meditative practice that focuses on breathing techniques, body sensing, emotional relaxation, and guided consciousness meditation. We often combine Yoga Nidra with Live Music Sound Journey. A very unique experience!
ACTIVE MEDITATIONS / YOGA – Get present with a selection of powerful meditation practices, wake up your body and ease your way into the day.
TRIBAL TRANCE DANCE – Dive deep into your Wild Nature. It’s an invitation into deep liberation, driven by our breath, our intentions, and energy, and not controlled by our conditioned mind, we let go. Natural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells!
GROUP SHARINGS / HEART CIRCLES – Speak your truth & let yourself be heard in Community. There will be many opportunities to share openly and intimately (small group sharings).
TANTRA / CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS – For us, Tantra is the total experience of life, multi-dimensional human life! Of course, sex and sexuality are a part of life, we wouldn’t be here without it. But it is not the main focus of our work. The main focus is on deepening our connection to the Heart! Tantra is an invitation to slow down and bring your awareness back into the present, back to your body and felt sense and to simple, yet, precious moments. Creating a safe and respectful space, we will explore simple exercises aimed at strengthening our ability to connect to one another and to become more comfortable with honesty and vulnerability. Learn to honour your personal boundaries, learn to enjoy your desire for intimate contact, and to communicate both with authenticity. Become more grounded and vital, more sensual and more connected with your feelings and your heart. Tantra is about: -Developing our sensitivity to ourselves and what we are experiencing, – Allowing ourselves to be, and to be seen,- Developing love and acceptance for ourselves, – Becoming aware of the ways we shut down. Physical contact: ‘You never have to do anything you don’t want to do” is our mantra.
CACAO – Expansion of the Heart and Spirit through Cacao – the Elixir of the Gods! Cacao is the ultimate heart opener, it will give you energy, revitalise your BodyMind inviting you to express, release & unleash your creativity during the dance! Our Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best, velvety tasting cacao in town for sure!). She uses ethically sourced, highest quality ingredients from Guatemala, directly from a reliable cacao bean farmer.
… and much, much more with amazing people who love Nature, music and dance!

♥ FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS RETREATS/FESTIVALS:
“That was a very beautiful experience. An amazing journey inward & out. To express in a free space filled with joyful vibes & gorgeous smiling faces. In sound, in rhythm, in motion, in colour, in sweat, the Dance, the Soul.” Cath
“The smiles, the kind eyes, the bits when I lost myself in the music, the joy of the moments when it felt as if the whole room was jumping in unison.” Salvo
“ What a profound experience! The music was so beautiful … it carried me effortlessly inward facilitating a deep connection to Spirit, moving my body in a way that I felt I had little control over. It was magical! Thank you ” Ashley
“Thank you guys. This was an exceptional experience of deep healing, awakening, and opening. I feel so light, peaceful, and full of Love. Through the workshops 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
“ The workshop 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 workshop. I felt that Seth, through his presence, allowing, way of being, created a very unique, safe space in which I could release, discover, explore and meet different aspects of myself. I was amazed how during the two days I was – often unexpectedly and gently – led to bring forth and embrace a child, an ancient woman, an animal, a spoiled brat, a mother, a lover, a goddess… Also through Seth’s guidance and suggestions I felt within very short spaces of time both my immense sorrow/yearning/pain and my immense joy/gratitude, realising how close to each other these seemingly opposites are. Today I feel a more solid belonging in the world, and a heightened awareness of the soles of my feet on the floor, like the earth, was more magnetic!” Maria

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.
