Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is very passionate about rhythm & drumming\, has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years\, created URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians and started his journey as an avid DJ with a love for Afro-Beat\, Cuban and Brazilian music and created an Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth has a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms and other movement and Ecstatic Dance practices. \nURUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts – offering a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?\nMUSIC – MOVEMENT – COMMUNITY! \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance. We love music. We love to inspire\, to connect\, to heal and transform! \nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. Move your body\, unleash the wild dancing self without caring what people think\, claim your freedom\, open your heart & touch the infinite! \nOur Ecstatic Dance classes create a safe and respectful environment that embraces ‘all ways’. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration\, connection\, fun\, healing\, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance. \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave. The Practice: freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music\, the community and our own inner space direct our steps\, our movements\, our expression\, our journey. Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:\nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers. \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you\, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\n\n\n\n\nINSTAGRAM: @urubu_school_of_transformation\, @ecstaticdance_london\n\nFACEBOOK: Ecstatic Dance London\, URUBU\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\, Ecstatic Dance Festivals\n\nFACEBOOK GROUPS: URUBU - Ecstatic Dance London\, Ecstatic Dance London\n\nMEETUP: Urubu's Ecstatic Dance & Moving Meditation Community\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\n\nYOUTUBE: URUBU School of Transformational Arts\n\nWEBSITE: ecstaticdancelondon.com\n\nEMAIL: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com\n\nURUBU - YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!\n\n💜SEE ALL OUR UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events

Awareness can lead to greater health and well-being\, creativity\, choice\, and responsibility. Through developing an embodied awareness\, the often hidden sources of inner knowledge\, creativity\, intuitive wisdom\, and healing can be contacted. And most of us need help in contacting and learning to trust our inner mentors and healers\, few of us have been encouraged to do this in the past. \nI see the primary role of my work as a humanistic psychology practitioner & embodiment coach to be that of facilitating participants in the process of discovering their innate wisdom and potential for healing\, growth\, and creativity\, and supporting them as they learn to trust\, use wisely and celebrate those innate powers. \nMy fundamental belief is that the deepest\, ultimate nature of each individual is essentially loving\, wise\, compassionate\, and full of joy. \n“In a culture that is primarily oriented towards mental and verbal processing and communication\, as ours is\, bringing awareness to the subtleties of bodily processes\, sensations\, and unconscious movement patterns offers a particularly powerful way into accessing the lost or hidden messages of the unconscious…” – Linda Hartley \nOur body’s own innate intelligence and healing powers can be accessed through Bioenergetics and somatic movement processes. Working with the body is an effective approach for many people. This is especially so in our modern culture where historically the body has been repressed and disavowed… \nUltimately\, the seeds of healing\, wisdom\, and transformation can be most directly contacted through unlocking the innate powers within. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗DANCE OF AWARENESS∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM \nDance of Awareness™ is a new approach to working with movement\, dance\, and awareness. It is a dance and movement practice that aims to increase self-awareness and self-acceptance. And when practiced regularly\, can be a very powerful resource for our well-being – body\, heart\, and soul. \n“This is a dance process for self-expression and personal discovery in a safely held space.” \nDance of Awareness™ has five main streams of influence: Neo-Reichian body-centred psychotherapy; Five Rhythms dance; Authentic Movement; Dance Movement Psychotherapy; and the experiential exploration of Awareness itself. \nROOTS IN DEVELOPMENTAL THEORY \n“How did you\, become you?” \nThe Dance of Awareness™ is similar in structure to the Five Rhythms wave developed by Roth (1999)\, but has been adapted to take account of psychodynamic theory and developmental psychology. The phases of the cycle follow themes of human development from pre-birth through to around five years. This is the time period associated with the growing sense of self which becomes embodied through early experience\, and which sets the patterns for adulthood. This gives the mover the opportunity to re-experience the formative years of early development\, explore old imprints\, and discover new patterns of moving and relating. \nThe Dance of Awareness™ works with 6 cycles: \nSensing\, Grounding\, Expressing\, Releasing\, Connecting and Completing following an energetic wave of charging and releasing over the course of a session. \nDance of Awareness™ is an open and allowing space where the dancer-mover can express and explore both 1) old adapted ways of moving and being and 2) new possibilities in moving\, being\, and relating. \nAs you journey through the cycles\, and with some direction from the facilitator\, explore the creative movement impulses which are ready to emerge. \nDance of Awareness will help you to explore both\, dancing out all that is ready to be released\, and dancing in more of your life-giving\, life-affirming creative potential! \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Bioenergetic Alchemy® Workshop∗ ─ ⋙\n◈ 3:30-5:15pm Bioenergetic Alchemy  \nWhat Is Bioenergetic Alchemy®? \nBioenergetic Alchemy® is a very powerful body-mind approach to psychological\, physical and emotional health and well-being. \nBioenergetic Alchemy® works to melt the frozen history in the body\, through a series of gentle and powerful exercises\, bringing to consciousness the holding patterns\, and releasing the energy that has been blocked. Tense areas of the body are gradually opened so that the energy can begin to move more freely\, allowing the body to regain its natural aliveness and vitality\, harmonising the relationship between the body\, mind and spirit. \nAt the personal level\, the highly experiential nature of Bioenergetic Alchemy® is a catalyst for transformation\, as participants work in the laboratory of their own process and their relationship to others. The work opens the heart\, brings grounded empowerment to the personality\, and a deeper connection to the core; center of your authentic self. \nThese Bioenergetic Alchemy™ sessions are for individuals interested in their own self-development and/or healing processes. The classes offer deep experiential learning about the body-mind and participants are encouraged to develop skills in present-moment listening\, sensing\, and emotional/feeling awareness related to the body-mind. \nThe class is an experiential\, deep-dive into yourself and your relationship with your body\, and your life energy! \nFeedback from our previous workshops: \n“Thank you Seth. The weekend was an exceptional experience of deep healing\, awakening\, and opening. I feel so light\, peaceful\, and full of Love. Through the journey we took\, I touched some of my wounds\, gently but deeply releasing and healing what was ready to be alchemised. Thank you to all the other lovely participants. Please organise the next one soon :-)” Tanja \n“A truly awesome experience. A wonderful and safe space to learn and experience bioenergetic alchemy. Thanks again to Seth for the expert guidance and support.” Amo \n“Like the Bioenergetic Alchemy classes\, but better. The weekend gave me the opportunity to go deeper into my body and discover new experiences which I hadn’t been able to tap into before. It was a good mix of different exercises\, and I had a really blissful experience with the breathwork.” Vijay \n” I feel so grateful I had the opportunity to attend this weekend event. I felt that Seth\, through his presence\, allowing\, way of being\, created a very unique\, safe space in which I could release\, discover\, explore and meet different aspects of myself. I was amazed how during the two days I was – often unexpectedly and gently – led to bring forth and embrace a child\, an ancient woman\, an animal\, a spoiled brat\, a mother\, a lover\, a goddess… Also through Seth’s guidance and suggestions I felt within very short spaces of time both my immense sorrow/yearning/pain and my immense joy/gratitude\, realising how close to each other these seemingly opposites are. Today I feel a more solid belonging in the world\, and a heightened awareness of the soles of my feet on the floor\, like the earth was more magnetic!” Maria \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \nNo experience necessary. All welcome.  \nCACAO CIRCLE \nAt Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate\, RAW chocolate-CACAO!

I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous\, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go\, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.” – Seth Newman \nAs a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. He integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is very passionate about rhythm & drumming\, has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years\, created URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians and started his journey as an avid DJ with a love for Afro-Beat\, Cuban and Brazilian music and created an Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth has a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms and other movement and Ecstatic Dance practices. \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗TANTRIC TRANCE DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM \nThrough this transformational dance process\, you will be guided into befriending all the aspects of your Being.

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

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

If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \nNo experience necessary. All welcome.  \nCACAO CIRCLE \nAt Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate\, RAW chocolate-CACAO!

Like Bioenergetics and other somatic processes\, for me\, Trance Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation. I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous\, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go\, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.” – Seth Newman \nAs a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. He integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is very passionate about rhythm & drumming\, has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years\, created URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians and started his journey as an avid DJ with a love for Afro-Beat\, Cuban and Brazilian music and created an Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth has a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms and other movement and Ecstatic Dance practices. \nDiana River: Trained in classical music from a young age\, and later in contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision. A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond. Diana is passionate about bringing practices of rest and embodiment to others and her intention is to guide you on a journey of reconnection and self-discovery\, reuniting you with the source of who you are. \nShe is a co-founder of London Aerial Relaxation Pods and co-creator of many Ecstatic Dance London & URUBU wellbeing classes\, workshops\, retreats & festivals. \nDiana also has a keen interest in making delicious raw chocolate and drinks for cacao ceremonies\, events\, private clients and is constantly experimenting with new flavours and also makes amazing chai brewed from fresh spices! \nURUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts – offering a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices. \n\n\n\nWHAT YOU WILL NEED:\n1.

It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \nWe all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives … – The answer is inside us! \nCACAO INTENTION SETTING RITUAL \nWe will set our intentions for Trance Dance with ceremonial grade cacao. Our Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best\, velvety tasting cacao in town for sure!). She uses ethically sourced\, highest quality ingredients from Guatemala\, directly from a reliable cacao bean farmer. This rich velvety elixir is a doorway to the heart\, celebrated and honoured by the Incas\, Aztecs\, Mayans and in many ancient traditions. Cacao\, chocolate in its purest form\, is a heart opening & totally natural NON-psychedelic medicine\, containing an abundance of nutritional goodness & natural happy chemicals. \nRelease what no longer serves you\, and invite in what you want more of in your life! \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, sacred connection with other people\, in such a short time with strangers here in London is rare to find. The body – movement – connection – presence – passion and love. I felt it all… Grateful”  \n“Fantastic and deeply moving experience. Powerful and blissful dancing expertly guided by Seth. Deeply grateful for the experience!”  \n“It was a very powerful\, letting go\, ritual experience. Brilliant!” \n“I’m really surprised that I could feel so “high” without having to “intoxicate” myself!!! A great night and no hangover!” \n“Wonderful experience. A magical journey into yourself\, and an opportunity to just enjoy dance with a lovely group of soul dancers at the same time. Every movement body was a blessing. Thank you to Seth Newman to create this fantastic dance\, it has helped me lot after a hard week. May Love connect us all. xxx” \n“Brilliant! Brilliant!

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

You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance.

This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers.  \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you\, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\nINSTAGRAM: @ecstaticdance_london\, @urubu_school_of_transformation\, \n\nFACEBOOK: Ecstatic Dance London\, URUBU\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\, Ecstatic Dance Festivals\n\nFACEBOOK GROUPS: URUBU - Ecstatic Dance London\, Ecstatic Dance London\n\nMEETUP: Urubu's Ecstatic Dance & Moving Meditation Community\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\n\nYOUTUBE: URUBU School of Transformational Arts\n\nWEBSITE: ecstaticdancelondon.com\n\nEMAIL: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com\n\nURUBU - YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!

SUMMARY:THE BIG LOVE EXPERIENCE: Bioenergetics\,  Breathwork Journey\, Ecstatic Dance
DESCRIPTION:A One-of-a-Kind Transformational Urban Retreat: The BIG Love Experience -Bioenergetic Alchemy\, Breathwork Journey\, Ecstatic Dance & Cacao!\n\n\n\nYou are warmly invited to join us for THE BIG LOVE EXPERIENCE – BLISS BEYOND FEAR: a beautiful day full of transformational experiences. TICKETS ON EVENTBRITE. \nYou’ll be exploring 3 x wonderful practices: \n1) Bioenergetic Alchemy Embodiment & Stress Release Workshop\n2) Bioenergetic Breathwork Journey\n3) Ecstatic Dance & Cacao in the evening! \nYou’re welcome to come for the whole day or drop into individual sessions. All are welcome! \nWHAT IS THE DAY ABOUT?\nEach of our Sunday Sessions offers Londoners a kind of sanctuary space to come and dance\, be themselves\, dive deep\, have fun\, release stress\, connect with their body\, and stretch themselves beyond their usual way of being. You can attend the whole day or just drop-in for single workshops. No experience necessary. \nDuring the day you will have the chance to dance and dive into a selection of some very beautiful and unique movement & relaxation practices. \nJoin us for this one-of-a-kind transformational retreat combining three powerful modalities!\nSCHEDULE:\n◈ 11:45am-2:30pm The BIG LOVE Experience – Bliss Beyond Fear – Learn powerful Bioenergetic Alchemy exercises for releasing stress\, fear and shock from the body. This workshop is designed to teach you how to gently release tension and stress held in the body. \nDuring this workshop you will learn a series of carefully designed Bioenergetic Alchemy™ exercises and postures (similar to Yoga or Tai Chi) where we will release fear and tension from our body to re-experience our natural state\, what the Kalahari Bushmen call\, “The Big Love”. \n“My classes follow a format of checking in with the body\, warm-ups\, grounding and building the body’s energy\, then discharging the energy through movement and expression. This is followed by relaxation. The immediate result is a felt sense of security\, vibrancy and exhilaration.” – Seth Newman \nVarious spiritual teachings\, such as A Course in Miracles\, say that there are only two fundamental emotions: love and fear. If we can begin to safely & gently release tension\, shock & fear from the body\, we then open to an experience of the body in its natural state\, deeply relaxed\, at ease\, and with a sense of peace and wellbeing. The Kalahari Bushmen call this natural state\, the BIG LOVE. (Please bring a yoga mat & blanket) \n◈ break 60 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway) \n◈ 3:30-5:15pm Breath of Love Breathwork Session – Deep connected breathing  \nOur Breath of Love Breathwork sessions are a wonderful way to deeply relax and rejuvenate your body\, your mind\, and your entire nervous system. It is also a safe and healthy way to reach creative states of consciousness\, allowing a participant to access their deeper/higher consciousness. Resulting in improved physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual well-being. \nThrough the use of grounding exercises\, tapping and conscious\, connected diaphragmatic breathing\, each individual is the leader of their own journey. \nOur facilitation includes space-holding\, affirmations\, aromatherapy and Reiki to assist in this personal process. At the very least\, the breathwork will be relaxing and detoxifying… and at most\, a Big Love experience! \n◈ break 45 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway ) \n◈ 6pm – 8:15pm Ecstatic Dance/Movement Meditation with Cacao Circle (with sound system and optional of Silent Disco Headphones to fully immerse into the music!

If we need to cancel the session due to unforeseen circumstances\, we will issue a full refund. \nIf you have any questions\, please send us an email to: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com \nFACILITATOR:\nSeth Newman: The heart of Bioenergetic Alchemy seeks the cultivation of awareness in our participants. Awareness can lead to greater health and well-being\, creativity\, choice\, and responsibility. Through developing awareness\, the often hidden sources of inner knowledge\, creativity\, intuitive wisdom\, and healing can be contacted. And most of us need help in contacting and learning to trust our inner mentors and healers\, few of us have been encouraged to do this in the past. \nI see the primary role of my work as a humanistic psychology practitioner & embodiment coach to be that of facilitating participants in the process of discovering their innate wisdom and potential for healing\, growth\, and creativity\, and supporting them as they learn to trust\, use wisely and celebrate those innate powers. \nMy fundamental belief is that the deepest\, ultimate nature of each individual is essentially loving\, wise\, compassionate\, and full of joy. \n“In a culture that is primarily oriented towards mental and verbal processing and communication\, as ours is\, bringing awareness to the subtleties of bodily processes\, sensations\, and unconscious movement patterns offers a particularly powerful way into accessing the lost or hidden messages of the unconscious…” – Linda Hartley \nOur body’s own innate intelligence and healing powers can be accessed through Bioenergetics and somatic movement processes. Working with the body is an effective approach for many people. This is especially so in our modern culture where historically the body has been repressed and disavowed… \nUltimately\, the seeds of healing\, wisdom\, and transformation can be most directly contacted through unlocking the innate powers within. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Bioenergetic Alchemy® Workshop∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45am-2:30pm \nWhat Is Bioenergetic Alchemy®? \nBioenergetic Alchemy® is a very powerful body-mind approach to psychological\, physical and emotional health and well-being. \nBioenergetic Alchemy® works to melt the frozen history in the body\, through a series of gentle and powerful exercises\, bringing to consciousness the holding patterns\, and releasing the energy that has been blocked. Tense areas of the body are gradually opened so that the energy can begin to move more freely\, allowing the body to regain its natural aliveness and vitality\, harmonising the relationship between the body\, mind and spirit. \nAt the personal level\, the highly experiential nature of Bioenergetic Alchemy® is a catalyst for transformation\, as participants work in the laboratory of their own process and their relationship to others. The work opens the heart\, brings grounded empowerment to the personality\, and a deeper connection to the core; center of your authentic self. \nThese Bioenergetic Alchemy™ sessions are for individuals interested in their own self-development and/or healing processes. The classes offer deep experiential learning about the body-mind and participants are encouraged to develop skills in present-moment listening\, sensing\, and emotional/feeling awareness related to the body-mind. \nThe class is an experiential\, deep-dive into yourself and your relationship with your body\, and your life energy! \nFeedback from our previous workshops: \n“Thank you Seth. The weekend was an exceptional experience of deep healing\, awakening\, and opening. I feel so light\, peaceful\, and full of Love. Through the journey we took\, I touched some of my wounds\, gently but deeply releasing and healing what was ready to be alchemised. Thank you to all the other lovely participants. Please organise the next one soon :-)” Tanja \n“A truly awesome experience. A wonderful and safe space to learn and experience bioenergetic alchemy. Thanks again to Seth for the expert guidance and support.” Amo \n“Like the Bioenergetic Alchemy classes\, but better. The weekend gave me the opportunity to go deeper into my body and discover new experiences which I hadn’t been able to tap into before. It was a good mix of different exercises\, and I had a really blissful experience with the breathwork.” Vijay \n” I feel so grateful I had the opportunity to attend this weekend event. I felt that Seth\, through his presence\, allowing\, way of being\, created a very unique\, safe space in which I could release\, discover\, explore and meet different aspects of myself. I was amazed how during the two days I was – often unexpectedly and gently – led to bring forth and embrace a child\, an ancient woman\, an animal\, a spoiled brat\, a mother\, a lover\, a goddess… Also through Seth’s guidance and suggestions I felt within very short spaces of time both my immense sorrow/yearning/pain and my immense joy/gratitude\, realising how close to each other these seemingly opposites are. Today I feel a more solid belonging in the world\, and a heightened awareness of the soles of my feet on the floor\, like the earth was more magnetic!” Maria \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Breath of Love – Breathwork Journey∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:30pm-5:15pm \nUnlimited Benefits:  \nBreathwork has profound benefits\, and is an ongoing practice. \nPracticing Breathwork enables you to……  \n1) Oxygenate 2) Restore 3) Detox 4) Gain Clarity 5) Express suppressed emotions 6) Release old tensions 7) Amplify Energy 8) Expand awareness 9) Remove negative blocks 10) Forgive past occurrences 11) Feel empowered 12) Cultivate inspiration13) Settle into a deep relaxed state 14) Tap into your truest you \nTechnical Aspects of Bioenergetic Breathwork:  \nThere are a few key parts to the breathing pattern:  \n1. It is conscious\, so you are very aware of the fact you are breathing \n2. It is connected; so that the natural pause between the inhale and exhale is merged\, creating a continuous loop of breath. \n3. It is relaxed\, meaning the exhale is relaxed\, and there is an emphasis on the inhale. \n4. It is open\, meaning it is performed with a wide open mouth. \n5. It is deep\, meaning you are breathing fully into the lower belly\, and all the way up into the chest. \nWhat a typical session looks like:  \nAfter some initial warm-up movements\, stretches\, and grounding exercises. You will be invited to lie on a yoga mat and breathe for about an 3/4 of an hour\, and in this time we will offer positive affirmations\, as well as support for deeper breathing. We may also use hands-on bodywork to enhance a deeper & fuller breath. We will end the session with a final relaxation\, with further guidance and meditation. \nWalking away with a feeling of lightness\, vitality\, and love… \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\n\nINSTAGRAM: @urubu_school_of_transformation\, @ecstaticdance_london\n\nFACEBOOK: Ecstatic Dance London\, URUBU\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\, Ecstatic Dance Festivals\n\nFACEBOOK GROUPS: URUBU - Ecstatic Dance London\, Ecstatic Dance London\n\nMEETUP: Urubu's Ecstatic Dance & Moving Meditation Community\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\n\nYOUTUBE: URUBU School of Transformational Arts\n\nWEBSITE: ecstaticdancelondon.com\n\nEMAIL: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com\n\nURUBU - YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!

We love music. We love to inspire\, to connect\, to heal and transform!  \nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. Move your body\, unleash the wild dancing self without caring what people think\, claim your freedom\, open your heart & touch the infinite! \nOur Ecstatic Dance classes create a safe and respectful environment that embraces ‘all ways’. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration\, connection\, fun\, healing\, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance. \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave. The Practice:  freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music\, the community and our own inner space direct our steps\, our movements\, our expression\, our journey. Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:\nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers. \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you\, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\n\n\nINSTAGRAM: @urubu_school_of_transformation\, @ecstaticdance_london\n\nFACEBOOK: Ecstatic Dance London\, URUBU\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\, Ecstatic Dance Festivals\n\nFACEBOOK GROUPS: URUBU - Ecstatic Dance London\, Ecstatic Dance London\n\nMEETUP: Urubu's Ecstatic Dance & Moving Meditation Community\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\n\nYOUTUBE: URUBU School of Transformational Arts\n\nWEBSITE: ecstaticdancelondon.com\n\nEMAIL: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com\n\nURUBU - YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!\n\n💜SEE ALL OUR UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events

I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous\, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go\, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.” – Seth Newman \nAs a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves.

I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential.” – Seth Newman \n We LOVE chocolate\, RAW unprocessed chocolate aka CACAO! Cacao is the ultimate heart opener\, it will give you energy\, revitalise your BodyMind inviting you to express\, release & unleash your creativity! Our Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best cacao in town for sure!).

Yoga practice before the dance also allows you to renew your awareness of your body and connect with your breath. \nVinyasa Flow Yoga: All levels are welcome to Georgie’s Vinyasa Flow style yoga class. Here you can explore your body and give appreciation for your own personal journey\, all in a safe space without judgement. Expect her classes to work up a burn\, encouraged by good tunes\, focused on increasing strength in the middle\, with a deep restorative stretch at the end. Ideal for those who have a basic understanding of yoga and want to progress their abilities with a slight challenge\, or perhaps for the more experienced student who wants to enjoy a flow with various options for more challenging variations. \n♥ Georgie is a fully YAI qualified and insured yoga instructor as well as a professional dancer. Having studied yoga for over 5 years\, Georgie swears by the life changing benefits of a regular practise\, which teaches us to listen to our bodies and self-reflect. Teaching us to listen to our bodies and self-reflect\, Georgie guides you through a flow that works on both strength building and restorative stretching. Encouraging you to move intuitively and be kind to yourself. You can find her teaching regular classes in London\, as well as events\, festivals and retreats\, across the UK and abroad. She will also be joining us at the Ecstatic Dance Festival UK in Dorset! \nInstagram: @yogawithgeorgie_ @georgie_hare \n\n\n\nECSTATIC DANCE – SCOTT NICE (DJ & PRODUCER)\nWorld sounds soar over lush hip-hop beats as Scott merges electronic with acoustic dipping into Afro-Latin\, tropical and middle eastern sounds in the process. Scott’s roots in Turntablism and Hip-Hop shine with his remix/mash-ups of classic tunes accompanied by live scratching to create a one-of-a-kind sonic journey. \nSince 2016 Scott has released 6 full-length albums and countless remixes working with many amazing collaborators such as The Polish Ambassador\, Liquid Bloom\, Poranguí\, Alex Serra\, Wildlight\, El Buho\, Mose\, Ayla Nereo\, Uji\, Yemanjo\, Volo\, DJ Taz Rashid\, Equanimous\, and many more. \nInformed by his personal healing journey\, Northern California producer Scott Nice brings a union of electronic and acoustic sounds to both move the body and feed the soul.

Born and raised in the rich cultural stew of California’s Bay Area\, Harris has called Lake Atitlan\, Guatemala home since 2016. His original music is a polyrhythmic concoction of downtempo/ethnic house beats blended with traditional instruments and tribal chants from Latin America\, Africa and the Middle East-influences drawn from Harris’ near-constant world travels. \nYemanjo’s all-original live set is a singular fusion of hard-hitting electronic beats with organic instrumentation and singing in multiple languages. He will be joined this evening by Nate Levin\, an SF-based musician\, producer and live looping artist specializing in multiple exotic world instruments. \nYemanjo is an embodiment of the ancient concept of “music as medicine”\, and brings an intention of healing and transformation to every production and live set. \nInstagram: @yemanjo \nSpotify: Yemanjo \nSoundcloud: Yemanjo \n\n\nWHAT YOU WILL NEED: \n1.

Pirate radio\, Drum & Bass clubs\, and the UK Bass Music scene.

You can attend the whole day or just drop-in for single workshops. No experience necessary. \nDuring the day you will have the chance to dance and dive into a selection of some very beautiful and unique movement & relaxation practices. \nJoin us for this one-of-a-kind transformational retreat combining three powerful modalities! \nBOOK HERE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-big-love-experience-bioenergetics-breathwork-journey-ecstatic-dance-tickets-633371821167\nSCHEDULE:\n◈ 11:45am-2:30pm The BIG LOVE Experience – Bliss Beyond Fear – Learn powerful Bioenergetic Alchemy exercises for releasing stress\, fear and shock from the body. This workshop is designed to teach you how to gently release tension and stress held in the body. \nDuring this workshop you will learn a series of carefully designed Bioenergetic Alchemy™ exercises and postures (similar to Yoga or Tai Chi) where we will release fear and tension from our body to re-experience our natural state\, what the Kalahari Bushmen call\, “The Big Love”. \n“My classes follow a format of checking in with the body\, warm-ups\, grounding and building the body’s energy\, then discharging the energy through movement and expression. This is followed by relaxation. The immediate result is a felt sense of security\, vibrancy and exhilaration.” – Seth Newman \nVarious spiritual teachings\, such as A Course in Miracles\, say that there are only two fundamental emotions: love and fear. If we can begin to safely & gently release tension\, shock & fear from the body\, we then open to an experience of the body in its natural state\, deeply relaxed\, at ease\, and with a sense of peace and wellbeing. The Kalahari Bushmen call this natural state\, the BIG LOVE. (Please bring a yoga mat & blanket) \n◈ break 60 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway) \n◈ 3:30-5:15pm Breath of Love Breathwork Session – Deep connected breathing  \nOur Breath of Love Breathwork sessions are a wonderful way to deeply relax and rejuvenate your body\, your mind\, and your entire nervous system. It is also a safe and healthy way to reach creative states of consciousness\, allowing a participant to access their deeper/higher consciousness. Resulting in improved physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual well-being. \nThrough the use of grounding exercises\, tapping and conscious\, connected diaphragmatic breathing\, each individual is the leader of their own journey. \nOur facilitation includes space-holding\, affirmations\, aromatherapy and Reiki to assist in this personal process. At the very least\, the breathwork will be relaxing and detoxifying… and at most\, a Big Love experience! \n◈ break 45 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway ) \n◈ 6pm – 8:15pm Ecstatic Dance/Movement Meditation with Cacao Circle (with sound system and optional of Silent Disco Headphones to fully immerse into the music!

If we need to cancel the session due to unforeseen circumstances\, we will issue a full refund. \nIf you have any questions\, please send us an email to: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com \nFACILITATOR:\nSeth Newman: The heart of Bioenergetic Alchemy seeks the cultivation of awareness in our participants. Awareness can lead to greater health and well-being\, creativity\, choice\, and responsibility. Through developing awareness\, the often hidden sources of inner knowledge\, creativity\, intuitive wisdom\, and healing can be contacted. And most of us need help in contacting and learning to trust our inner mentors and healers\, few of us have been encouraged to do this in the past. \nI see the primary role of my work as a humanistic psychology practitioner & embodiment coach to be that of facilitating participants in the process of discovering their innate wisdom and potential for healing\, growth\, and creativity\, and supporting them as they learn to trust\, use wisely and celebrate those innate powers. \nMy fundamental belief is that the deepest\, ultimate nature of each individual is essentially loving\, wise\, compassionate\, and full of joy. \n“In a culture that is primarily oriented towards mental and verbal processing and communication\, as ours is\, bringing awareness to the subtleties of bodily processes\, sensations\, and unconscious movement patterns offers a particularly powerful way into accessing the lost or hidden messages of the unconscious…” – Linda Hartley \nOur body’s own innate intelligence and healing powers can be accessed through Bioenergetics and somatic movement processes. Working with the body is an effective approach for many people. This is especially so in our modern culture where historically the body has been repressed and disavowed… \nUltimately\, the seeds of healing\, wisdom\, and transformation can be most directly contacted through unlocking the innate powers within. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Bioenergetic Alchemy® Workshop∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45am-2:30pm \nWhat Is Bioenergetic Alchemy®? \nBioenergetic Alchemy® is a very powerful body-mind approach to psychological\, physical and emotional health and well-being. \nBioenergetic Alchemy® works to melt the frozen history in the body\, through a series of gentle and powerful exercises\, bringing to consciousness the holding patterns\, and releasing the energy that has been blocked. Tense areas of the body are gradually opened so that the energy can begin to move more freely\, allowing the body to regain its natural aliveness and vitality\, harmonising the relationship between the body\, mind and spirit. \nAt the personal level\, the highly experiential nature of Bioenergetic Alchemy® is a catalyst for transformation\, as participants work in the laboratory of their own process and their relationship to others. The work opens the heart\, brings grounded empowerment to the personality\, and a deeper connection to the core; center of your authentic self. \nThese Bioenergetic Alchemy™ sessions are for individuals interested in their own self-development and/or healing processes. The classes offer deep experiential learning about the body-mind and participants are encouraged to develop skills in present-moment listening\, sensing\, and emotional/feeling awareness related to the body-mind. \nThe class is an experiential\, deep-dive into yourself and your relationship with your body\, and your life energy! \n \nFeedback from our previous workshops: \n“Thank you Seth. The weekend was an exceptional experience of deep healing\, awakening\, and opening. I feel so light\, peaceful\, and full of Love. Through the journey we took\, I touched some of my wounds\, gently but deeply releasing and healing what was ready to be alchemised. Thank you to all the other lovely participants. Please organise the next one soon :-)” Tanja \n“A truly awesome experience. A wonderful and safe space to learn and experience bioenergetic alchemy. Thanks again to Seth for the expert guidance and support.” Amo \n“Like the Bioenergetic Alchemy classes\, but better. The weekend gave me the opportunity to go deeper into my body and discover new experiences which I hadn’t been able to tap into before. It was a good mix of different exercises\, and I had a really blissful experience with the breathwork.” Vijay \n” I feel so grateful I had the opportunity to attend this weekend event. I felt that Seth\, through his presence\, allowing\, way of being\, created a very unique\, safe space in which I could release\, discover\, explore and meet different aspects of myself. I was amazed how during the two days I was – often unexpectedly and gently – led to bring forth and embrace a child\, an ancient woman\, an animal\, a spoiled brat\, a mother\, a lover\, a goddess… Also through Seth’s guidance and suggestions I felt within very short spaces of time both my immense sorrow/yearning/pain and my immense joy/gratitude\, realising how close to each other these seemingly opposites are. Today I feel a more solid belonging in the world\, and a heightened awareness of the soles of my feet on the floor\, like the earth was more magnetic!” Maria \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Breath of Love – Breathwork Journey∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:30pm-5:15pm \nUnlimited Benefits:  \nBreathwork has profound benefits\, and is an ongoing practice. \nPracticing Breathwork enables you to……  \n1) Oxygenate 2) Restore 3) Detox 4) Gain Clarity 5) Express suppressed emotions 6) Release old tensions 7) Amplify Energy 8) Expand awareness 9) Remove negative blocks 10) Forgive past occurrences 11) Feel empowered 12) Cultivate inspiration13) Settle into a deep relaxed state 14) Tap into your truest you \nTechnical Aspects of Bioenergetic Breathwork:  \nThere are a few key parts to the breathing pattern:  \n1. It is conscious\, so you are very aware of the fact you are breathing \n2. It is connected; so that the natural pause between the inhale and exhale is merged\, creating a continuous loop of breath. \n3. It is relaxed\, meaning the exhale is relaxed\, and there is an emphasis on the inhale. \n4. It is open\, meaning it is performed with a wide open mouth. \n5. It is deep\, meaning you are breathing fully into the lower belly\, and all the way up into the chest. \nWhat a typical session looks like:  \nAfter some initial warm-up movements\, stretches\, and grounding exercises. You will be invited to lie on a yoga mat and breathe for about an 3/4 of an hour\, and in this time we will offer positive affirmations\, as well as support for deeper breathing. We may also use hands-on bodywork to enhance a deeper & fuller breath. We will end the session with a final relaxation\, with further guidance and meditation. \nWalking away with a feeling of lightness\, vitality\, and love… \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others.

Seth has a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms and other movement and Ecstatic Dance practices. \nURUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts – offering a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices.  \n\n\n\nWHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?\nMUSIC – MOVEMENT – COMMUNITY! \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance. We love music. We love to inspire\, to connect\, to heal and transform!  \nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. Move your body\, unleash the wild dancing self without caring what people think\, claim your freedom\, open your heart & touch the infinite! \nOur Ecstatic Dance classes create a safe and respectful environment that embraces ‘all ways’. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration\, connection\, fun\, healing\, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance. \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave. The Practice:  freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided.

Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:\nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers. \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you\, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\n\n\n\nINSTAGRAM: @urubu_school_of_transformation\, @ecstaticdance_london\n\nFACEBOOK: Ecstatic Dance London\, URUBU\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\, Ecstatic Dance Festivals\n\nFACEBOOK GROUPS: URUBU - Ecstatic Dance London\, Ecstatic Dance London\n\nMEETUP: Urubu's Ecstatic Dance & Moving Meditation Community\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\n\nYOUTUBE: URUBU School of Transformational Arts\n\nWEBSITE: ecstaticdancelondon.com\n\nEMAIL: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com\n\nURUBU - YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!\n\n💜SEE ALL OUR UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events

Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. He integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is very passionate about rhythm & drumming\, has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years\, created URUBU collective and Ecstatic Dance London back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians and started his journey as an avid DJ with a love for Afro-Beat\, Cuban and Brazilian music and created an Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth has a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms and other movement and Ecstatic Dance practices. \nDIANA UPITE (Sound Journey): Trained in classical music from a young age\, and later in contemporary music\, Diana carries a life-long passion for singing\, improvising and re-imagining traditional Celtic and folk songs with her own melodic vision.  A singer at heart\, she connects deeply with the melodies and harmonies of ancient Europe and beyond. \nDiana is passionate about bringing practices of rest and embodiment to others. Through her singing\, her intention is to guide you on a journey of reconnection and self-discovery\, reuniting you with the source of who you are. \nDiana also has a keen interest in making delicious raw chocolates and raw cacao drinks for cacao ceremonies\, private clients and is constantly experimenting with new flavours. She is a co-creator of many Ecstatic Dance London wellbeing events\, workshops\, retreats and festivals. \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗DANCE OF AWARENESS∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM \nDance of Awareness™  is a new approach to working with movement\, dance\, and awareness. It is a dance and movement practice that aims to increase self-awareness and self-acceptance. And when practiced regularly\, can be a very powerful resource for our well-being – body\, heart\, and soul. \n“This is a dance process for self-expression and personal discovery in a safely held space.” \nDance of Awareness™  has five main streams of influence: Neo-Reichian body-centred psychotherapy; Five Rhythms dance; Authentic Movement; Dance Movement Psychotherapy; and the experiential exploration of Awareness itself. \nROOTS IN DEVELOPMENTAL THEORY \n“How did you\, become you?”  \nThe Dance of Awareness™  is similar in structure to the Five Rhythms wave developed by Roth (1999)\, but has been adapted to take account of psychodynamic theory and developmental psychology. The phases of the cycle follow themes of human development from pre-birth through to around five years. This is the time period associated with the growing sense of self which becomes embodied through early experience\, and which sets the patterns for adulthood. This gives the mover the opportunity to re-experience the formative years of early development\, explore old imprints\, and discover new patterns of moving and relating. \nThe Dance of Awareness™  works with 6 cycles:  \nSensing\, Grounding\, Expressing\, Releasing\, Connecting and Completing following an energetic wave of charging and releasing over the course of a session. \nDance of Awareness™  is an open and allowing space where the dancer-mover can express and explore both 1) old adapted ways of moving and being and 2) new possibilities in moving\, being\, and relating. \nAs you journey through the cycles\, and with some direction from the facilitator\, explore the creative movement impulses which are ready to emerge. \nDance of Awareness will help you to explore both\, dancing out all that is ready to be released\, and dancing in more of your life-giving\, life-affirming creative potential! \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ SUNDAY SOUND SANCTUARY – SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:30PM – 5:15PM \nSoothing sounds will help to release the stress and tension. An opportunity to let go and reconnect with yourself through deep relaxation and guided meditation while basking in Cosmic\, Ethereal Vocals and Electronic Soundscapes\, Textures\, Crystal Singing Bowls\, Gongs and much much more .  A Unique Experience! \nAs everything is vibrating so are we\, sometimes we can become out of tune in either mind body or spirit and dis-ease can start to take hold. Through the healing frequencies of sound therapy our bodies can be brought back in tune and we can begin to feel healthy and balanced once more. \nThe deep complex harmonics of multiple instruments quickly silence the mind and resonate through your body melting away boundaries between being awake and being asleep\, between inside and outside. \nMeditate and relax into the deepest conscious rest\, cleansing\, releasing\, healing and harmonizing on all levels. \nA beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon!  \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE TEMPLE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance. We love music. We love to inspire\, to connect\, to heal and transform!  \nDiscover dance as a moving meditation\, body ritual\, awareness practice & ceremony \nIn our Sunday Ecstatic Dance sessions\, the musical focus will be more of a World/Medicine music\, Afro-House & a Tribal Flow vibe. Our Saturday Ecstatic Dance sessions tend to be more of a celebration with a light-hearted party atmosphere\, in these Sunday Dances\, you’re invited to explore “movement as meditation” with beautiful music to accompany your journey… \nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together.

Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration\, connection\, fun\, healing\, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance. \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. \nWHAT TO EXPECT: \n1. Next-level\, conscious\, inspiring electronic dance music \n2. A beautiful\, sacred\, heartful and fun dance journey \n3. A safe space for you to dance freely in \n4. Vibrant people who love to dance and love music! \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave.

No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk to\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the building).

Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \nNo experience necessary. All welcome.  \nCACAO CIRCLE \nAt Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate\, RAW chocolate-CACAO!

Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. Move your body\, unleash the wild dancing self without caring what people think\, claim your freedom\, open your heart & touch the infinite! \nOur Ecstatic Dance 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. \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance.

Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:\nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers.  \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you\, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\n\nINSTAGRAM: @urubu_school_of_transformation\, @ecstaticdance_london\n\nFACEBOOK: Ecstatic Dance London\, URUBU\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\, Ecstatic Dance Festivals\n\nFACEBOOK GROUPS: URUBU - Ecstatic Dance London\, Ecstatic Dance London\n\nMEETUP: Urubu's Ecstatic Dance & Moving Meditation Community\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\n\nYOUTUBE: URUBU School of Transformational Arts\n\nWEBSITE: ecstaticdancelondon.com\n\nEMAIL: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com\n\nURUBU - YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!

I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous\, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go\, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.” – Seth Newman \nAs a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. He integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. \nHis in-depth studies\, trainings\, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s\, infuse his approach to living a creative\, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nAs a musician\, Seth is very passionate about rhythm & drumming\, has an MA in Community Music from Goldsmith College\, worked as a world music percussion teacher in East London schools for almost 20 years\, created URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians and started his journey as an avid DJ with a love for Afro-Beat\, Cuban and Brazilian music and created an Ecstatic Dance scene in London and the UK. Seth has a life-long passion for 5 Rhythms and other movement and Ecstatic Dance practices. \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗TANTRIC TRANCE DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙\n11:45AM – 2:30PM \nThrough this transformational dance process\, you will be guided into befriending all the aspects of your Being. Your Embodied Nature as man or woman\, your Heart’s deep longing\, and your personal connection to the Great Mystery. \nThis is a very unique dance experience\, a blending of ancient and contemporary transformational tools\, including: Bioenergetics\, Ecstatic Dance\, emotional release (Catharsis)\, Chakra Journeying\, Vipassana Meditation\, Latihan … with the powerful use of a blindfold – all these elements woven together invite you into a deep state of presence\, awakening & celebration.

Through the stages\, you will begin to strip off layers of muscular armouring\, surrendering to the dance of the body\, letting go of baggage you may of been carrying for years\, and connecting with your Souls calling. \n“You are the fusion of Nature and Spirit\, the meeting point of Earth & Sky” \n“Between the head and feet of any given person is a billion miles of unexplored wilderness. . . . We dance to shed skins\, tear off masks\, crack molds\, and experience the breakdown – the shattering of borders between body\, heart and mind . . .” – Gabrielle Roth \n“WE have come to be danced not the nice invisible\, self conscious shuffle but the matted hair flying\, voodoo mama shaman shakin’ ancient bones dance the strip us from our casings\, return our wings sharpen our claws & tongues dance the shed dead cells and slip into the luminous skin of love dance…” -Jewel Mathieson \nThe Tantric Trance Dance process is a unique opportunity to connect with all the wild energies of your Nature\, with your Heart and Spirit. \nFeedback from previous Trance Dance events: \n“An exceptional evening – everything I wanted and more! You know to experience such presence\, inner stillness\, sacred connection with other people\, in such a short time with strangers here in London is rare to find.

This workshop is designed to teach you how to gently release tension and stress held in the body. \nDuring this workshop you will learn a series of carefully designed Bioenergetic Alchemy™ exercises and postures (similar to Yoga or Tai Chi) where we will release fear and tension from our body to re-experience our natural state\, what the Kalahari Bushmen call\, “The Big Love”. \n“My classes follow a format of checking in with the body\, warm-ups\, grounding and building the body’s energy\, then discharging the energy through movement and expression. This is followed by relaxation. The immediate result is a felt sense of security\, vibrancy and exhilaration.” – Seth Newman \nVarious spiritual teachings\, such as A Course in Miracles\, say that there are only two fundamental emotions: love and fear. If we can begin to safely & gently release tension\, shock & fear from the body\, we then open to an experience of the body in its natural state\, deeply relaxed\, at ease\, and with a sense of peace and wellbeing. The Kalahari Bushmen call this natural state\, the BIG LOVE. (Please bring a yoga mat & blanket) \n◈ break 60 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway) \n◈ 3:30-5:15pm Breath of Love Breathwork Session – Deep connected breathing  \nOur Breath of Love Breathwork sessions are a wonderful way to deeply relax and rejuvenate your body\, your mind\, and your entire nervous system. It is also a safe and healthy way to reach creative states of consciousness\, allowing a participant to access their deeper/higher consciousness. Resulting in improved physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual well-being. \nThrough the use of grounding exercises\, tapping and conscious\, connected diaphragmatic breathing\, each individual is the leader of their own journey. \nOur facilitation includes space-holding\, affirmations\, aromatherapy and Reiki to assist in this personal process. At the very least\, the breathwork will be relaxing and detoxifying… and at most\, a Big Love experience! \n◈ break 45 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway ) \n◈ 6pm – 8:15pm Ecstatic Dance/Movement Meditation with Cacao Circle (with sound system and optional of Silent Disco Headphones to fully immerse into the music!

Rejuvenating their busy minds and bodies\, to achieve the best versions of themselves. \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many trainings and deep experiences including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, Humanistic Group therapy processes\, Bioenergetics and Core energetics\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra\, and Active meditations. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Bioenergetic Alchemy® Workshop∗ ─ ⋙\n\n11:45am-2:30pm \nWhat Is Bioenergetic Alchemy®? \nBioenergetic Alchemy® is a very powerful body-mind approach to psychological\, physical and emotional health and well-being. \nBioenergetic Alchemy® works to melt the frozen history in the body\, through a series of gentle and powerful exercises\, bringing to consciousness the holding patterns\, and releasing the energy that has been blocked. Tense areas of the body are gradually opened so that the energy can begin to move more freely\, allowing the body to regain its natural aliveness and vitality\, harmonising the relationship between the body\, mind and spirit. \nAt the personal level\, the highly experiential nature of Bioenergetic Alchemy® is a catalyst for transformation\, as participants work in the laboratory of their own process and their relationship to others. The work opens the heart\, brings grounded empowerment to the personality\, and a deeper connection to the core; center of your authentic self. \nThese Bioenergetic Alchemy™ sessions are for individuals interested in their own self-development and/or healing processes. The classes offer deep experiential learning about the body-mind and participants are encouraged to develop skills in present-moment listening\, sensing\, and emotional/feeling awareness related to the body-mind. \nThe class is an experiential\, deep-dive into yourself and your relationship with your body\, and your life energy! \nFeedback from our previous workshops: \n“Thank you Seth. The weekend was an exceptional experience of deep healing\, awakening\, and opening. I feel so light\, peaceful\, and full of Love. Through the journey we took\, I touched some of my wounds\, gently but deeply releasing and healing what was ready to be alchemised. Thank you to all the other lovely participants. Please organise the next one soon :-)” Tanja \n“A truly awesome experience. A wonderful and safe space to learn and experience bioenergetic alchemy. Thanks again to Seth for the expert guidance and support.” Amo \n“Like the Bioenergetic Alchemy classes\, but better. The weekend gave me the opportunity to go deeper into my body and discover new experiences which I hadn’t been able to tap into before. It was a good mix of different exercises\, and I had a really blissful experience with the breathwork.” Vijay \n” I feel so grateful I had the opportunity to attend this weekend event. I felt that Seth\, through his presence\, allowing\, way of being\, created a very unique\, safe space in which I could release\, discover\, explore and meet different aspects of myself. I was amazed how during the two days I was – often unexpectedly and gently – led to bring forth and embrace a child\, an ancient woman\, an animal\, a spoiled brat\, a mother\, a lover\, a goddess… Also through Seth’s guidance and suggestions I felt within very short spaces of time both my immense sorrow/yearning/pain and my immense joy/gratitude\, realising how close to each other these seemingly opposites are. Today I feel a more solid belonging in the world\, and a heightened awareness of the soles of my feet on the floor\, like the earth was more magnetic!” Maria \n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Breath of Love – Breathwork Journey∗ ─ ⋙\n\n3:30pm-5:15pm \nUnlimited Benefits: \nBreathwork has profound benefits\, and is an ongoing practice. \nPracticing Breathwork enables you to……  \n1) Oxygenate 2) Restore 3) Detox 4) Gain Clarity 5) Express suppressed emotions 6) Release old tensions 7) Amplify Energy 8) Expand awareness 9) Remove negative blocks 10) Forgive past occurrences 11) Feel empowered 12) Cultivate inspiration13) Settle into a deep relaxed state 14) Tap into your truest you \nTechnical Aspects of Bioenergetic Breathwork:\nThere are a few key parts to the breathing pattern:  \n1. It is conscious\, so you are very aware of the fact you are breathing \n2. It is connected; so that the natural pause between the inhale and exhale is merged\, creating a continuous loop of breath. \n3. It is relaxed\, meaning the exhale is relaxed\, and there is an emphasis on the inhale. \n4. It is open\, meaning it is performed with a wide open mouth. \n5. It is deep\, meaning you are breathing fully into the lower belly\, and all the way up into the chest. \nWhat a typical session looks like:  \nAfter some initial warm-up movements\, stretches\, and grounding exercises. You will be invited to lie on a yoga mat and breathe for about an 3/4 of an hour\, and in this time we will offer positive affirmations\, as well as support for deeper breathing. We may also use hands-on bodywork to enhance a deeper & fuller breath. We will end the session with a final relaxation\, with further guidance and meditation. \nWalking away with a feeling of lightness\, vitality\, and love… \n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \nNo experience necessary. All welcome.  \nCACAO CIRCLE \nAt Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate\, RAW chocolate-CACAO!

Move your body\, unleash the wild dancing self without caring what people think\, claim your freedom\, open your heart & touch the infinite! \nOur Ecstatic Dance 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. \nEnter an open space…and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move\, play\, connect\, sweat\, stretch\, sound\, unwind\, renew\, release\, improvise\, transform. Be true to yourself\, while respecting your body\, in this space that we co-create together. \nPRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch\, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance. The Practice:  freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music\, the community and our own inner space direct our steps\, our movements\, our expression\, our journey. Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. \nECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:\nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers.  \n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk\, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat\, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free\, contained within ourselves And connected to something much\, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free\, Smoke-Free\, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos\, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body\, sensations\, emotions\, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone\, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone\, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you\, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone’s contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone\, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n“Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad\, right or wrong. However\, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy\, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way\, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another\, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.” ~ Abigail Harris \n\n\n\nINSTAGRAM: @urubu_school_of_transformation\, @ecstaticdance_london\n\nFACEBOOK: Ecstatic Dance London\, URUBU\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\, Ecstatic Dance Festivals\n\nFACEBOOK GROUPS: URUBU - Ecstatic Dance London\, Ecstatic Dance London\n\nMEETUP: Urubu's Ecstatic Dance & Moving Meditation Community\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\n\nYOUTUBE: URUBU School of Transformational Arts\n\nWEBSITE: ecstaticdancelondon.com\n\nEMAIL: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com\n\nURUBU - YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!
