Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗DANCE OF AWARENESS∗ ─ ⋙\n12:3OPM – 3PM \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 discharging 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⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:45PM – 5:30PM \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⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE TEMPLE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

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.” \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. \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 and started URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians. \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations. stic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗TRANCE DANCE & CACAO∗ ─ ⋙\n12:3OPM – 3PM \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go. \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \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!

Thank you” \n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:45PM – 5:30PM \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⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE TEMPLE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

All are welcome! \n*Respectfully Socially Distanced & Covid compliant*  \n*Alcohol and drug-free environment* \n💜SEE ALL OUR UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events \nWHAT IS THE DAY ABOUT?\nWe’re providing Londoners with a kind of sanctuary space to dance\, be themselves\, have fun\, release stress\, connect with their body\, and stretch themselves beyond their usual way of being. \nYou 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 and breathwork practices. \nBOOK HERE: HTTPS://WWW.EVENTBRITE.CO.UK/E/THE-BIG-LOVE-EXPERIENCE-BIOENERGETICS-BREATHWORK-ECSTATIC-DANCE-CACAO-TICKETS-427920982177\nSCHEDULE:\n◈ 12:30pm – 3pm The BIG LOVE Experience – Bliss Beyond Fear – Learn powerful Bioenergetic Alchemy exercises for releasing stress\, fear and shock from the body. This workshop is designed to teach you how to gently release tension and stress held in the body. \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 45 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the kitchen)  \n◈ 3:45pm-5:30pm 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 30 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the kitchen)  \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!

Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \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 and started URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians. \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Bioenergetic Alchemy®∗ ─ ⋙\n12:3OPM – 3PM \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∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:45PM – 5:30PM \nLimitless Benefits:\nBreathwork has profound benefits\, and is an ongoing practice. \nPracticing Breathwork enables you to……  \n1) Oxygenate 2) Restore 3) Detox 4) Gain Clarity 6) Express suppressed emotions 7) Release old tensions 8) Amplify Energy 9) Expand awareness 10) Remove negative blocks11) Forgive past occurrences 12) Feel empowered 13) Cultivate inspiration14) Settle into a deep relaxed state 15) Tap into your truest you \nTechnical Aspects of 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. \nYou will walk away with a new found refreshed perspective on life\, feeling like you truly enabled yourself to integrate and release that which no longer serves you. \nWalking away with a feeling of lightness\, vitality\, and love… \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙\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 GRATITUDE CIRCLE \nAt Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate\, RAW chocolate-CACAO!

Tantric Trance Dance™ takes participants on the journey within. \nThis is an active meditation for deeply connecting with your Being. Through the stages\, you will begin to strip off layers of muscular armouring\, surrendering to the dance of the body\, letting go of baggage you may of been carrying for years\, and connecting with your Souls calling. \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. . . .

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! \nIt is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens. \nTantric Trance Dance ritual is an ecstatic\, creative process that returns us to the consciousness of the body and reclaims our Soul. For those who want to immerse themselves and explore their full potential\, body\, heart & soul! \nGive yourself to the dance of life! Tantric Trance Dance ritual invites you to have a direct experience of freedom\, truth and power\, with awareness. A drug-free ecstasy! \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! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n*Please watch our video below to give you a taste of the Tantric Trance Dance experience\, and so you get a clear picture of what the journey is about: \n \n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:45PM – 5:30PM \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⋘ ─ ∗ 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. 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.

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. 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. 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\nSAFETY GUIDELINES & PREVENTION MEASURES:\nWe are working closely with the venue and are taking appropriate steps to ensure our indoor dance sessions are covid-secure. We kindly ask that you respect and follow Siobhan Davies Dance Studio safety guidelines.  \n If you are showing any Covid-19 symptoms\, please DO NOT attend the session.  \n\n\nCONNECT WITH US:\nINSTAGRAM: @urubu_school_of_transformation\, @ecstaticdance_london \nFACEBOOK: Ecstatic Dance London\, URUBU\, Ecstatic Dance Temple\, Ecstatic Dance Festivals \nFACEBOOK GROUPS: URUBU – Ecstatic Dance London\, Ecstatic Dance London \nMEETUP: Urubu’s Ecstatic Dance & Moving Meditation Community\, Ecstatic Dance Temple \nYOUTUBE: URUBU School of Transformational Arts \nWEBSITE: ecstaticdancelondon.com \nEMAIL: youareyoubeyou@gmail.com \nURUBU – YOU ARE YOU\, BE YOU!

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: @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!

Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗DANCE OF AWARENESS∗ ─ ⋙\n12:3OPM – 3PM \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 discharging 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⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:45PM – 5:30PM \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⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE TEMPLE & CACAO CEREMONY ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

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\nSAFETY GUIDELINES & PREVENTION MEASURES:\nWe are working closely with the venue and are taking appropriate steps to ensure our indoor dance sessions are covid-secure. We kindly ask that you respect and follow Siobhan Davies Dance Studio safety guidelines.  \n If you are showing any Covid-19 symptoms\, please DO NOT attend the session.  \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!

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 and breathwork practices. \nSCHEDULE:\n◈ 12:30pm – 3pm The BIG LOVE Experience – Bliss Beyond Fear – Learn powerful Bioenergetic Alchemy exercises for releasing stress\, fear and shock from the body. This workshop is designed to teach you how to gently release tension and stress held in the body. \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 45 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the kitchen)  \n◈ 3:45pm-5:30pm 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 30 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the kitchen)  \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!

Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \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 and started URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians. \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations. \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗Bioenergetic Alchemy®∗ ─ ⋙\n12:3OPM – 3PM \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. \nOur video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOrELWRAqkU \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∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:45PM – 5:30PM \nLimitless Benefits: \nBreathwork has profound benefits\, and is an ongoing practice. \nPracticing Breathwork enables you to……  \n1) Oxygenate 2) Restore 3) Detox 4) Gain Clarity 6) Express suppressed emotions 7) Release old tensions 8) Amplify Energy 9) Expand awareness 10) Remove negative blocks11) Forgive past occurrences 12) Feel empowered 13) Cultivate inspiration14) Settle into a deep relaxed state 15) Tap into your truest you \nTechnical Aspects of 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. \nYou will walk away with a new found refreshed perspective on life\, feeling like you truly enabled yourself to integrate and release that which no longer serves you. \nWalking away with a feeling of lightness\, vitality\, and love… \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

SUMMARY:Dance of Awareness - Sunday Movement Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:Dance of Awareness™ is an ecstatic dance and embodiment practice… a process for healing\, self-expression & creativity in a safe space. \n\n\nDANCE OF AWARENESS™\n\nDance Warmup\nOpening Circle\nThe Dance of Awareness Wave (more details about the phases below)\nClosing Circle & Group Sharing\nClass ends\n\nUPCOMING DATES:\n\n18 September\n2 October\n\nBOOK HERE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/embody-dance-of-awareness-sunday-movement-meditation-practice-tickets-397837180717 \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE DANCE OF AWARENESS\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. Dance of Awareness™ is a joyful exploration of what it is to be in a body\, moving in response to inner awareness and outer connectedness. \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 discharging 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\n\nTHE 6 PHASES OF THE DANCE OF AWARENESS WAVE:\n\nSENSING – Sensing the body directly – an internal focus on the physical sensations of flesh\, muscle and bone\, and an external focus on the five senses;\nGROUNDING – Grounding our bodies in connection to the earth\, receiving support;\nEXPRESSING – Expressing the shapes\, patterns and movements that are ready to take form;\nRELEASING – Releasing the energy that is ready to move in the body;\nCONNECTING – Connecting deeper into ourselves – and outwards with others and the world;\nCOMPLETING – Completing the journey and returning to our true nature.\n\nThrough the 6 phases of the Dance of Awareness process\, you will be invited to move through the themes of human development from pre-birth up to around five years old. Because the phases of the cycle follow the themes of human development\, you are given the opportunity to re-experience your formative years of early development\, explore old imprints\, and discover new patterns of moving and relating by allowing the dance to emerge naturally. \nDance of Awareness also gives us the opportunity to be aware of the wonders of our own body\, our sacred home\, living it with kind-heartedness\, self-care and compassion. \nAWARENESS AS THE GROUND TO OUR BEING\nThe Dance of Awareness process is underpinned by an emphasis on awareness as the ground to our experience in the world. \nAs we move through the cycle\, from time to time\, I will invite you to ‘come back to awareness’\, this means experiencing whatever is emerging here and now\, and putting to one side beliefs\, thoughts and assumptions\, in the interests of giving ourselves permission to allow whatever is ready to come into awareness. What presents itself may be a breath pattern\, an image\, an emotion\, or a bodily sensation. The aim is simply to be present with whatever is happening and to fully experience what arises\, with an empathic witnessing. \n\n\n\n\n\nFACILITATOR\, VENUE\, PRICES:\nFacilitated by: 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. \nIn addition to guiding people on their life journeys\, he enjoys helping clients design lifestyles of optimal health and balance with creative living practices. \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms and Active meditations. \nAddress: Siobhan Davies Dance Studio (Roof Studio) \nTime: 12:30pm -3pm \nStrictly no latecomers! – Sorry\, please arrive on time! Unfortunately\, if you are more than 10 minutes late\, you will not be allowed entry\, (and there can be no refunds if you are more than 10 minutes late\, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. \nPayment: Please book via Eventbrite (very limited spaces\, advance booking is essential as we have limited capacity for these classes) \nPLEASE NOTE:\n1) Strictly no latecomers! – Sorry\, please arrive on time!

It 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.

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\nDJ & FACILITATOR:\n◈ Sessions are facilitated and DJed by Seth Newman – the pioneer of Ecstatic Dance in the UK since 2009! \nSeth Newman: As the founder of the URUBU School of Transformational Arts and Ecstatic Dance London he integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies\, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy\, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops\, retreats and trainings. As a coach\, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm\, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. 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 brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \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 and started URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians.  \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations.  \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗RITUAL ECSTATIC TRANCE DANCE∗ ─ ⋙\n12:3OPM – 3PM \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go.  \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \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! \nFacilitated by Seth Newman \nMy purpose is to facilitate rituals that empower “the whole human being” through dance and music. Like Bioenergetics and other somatic processes\, for me\, Trance Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation. I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous\, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go\, to let flow! \nIt is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens. \nTrance Dance ritual is an ecstatic\, creative process that returns us to the consciousness of the body and reclaims our Soul. For those who want to immerse themselves and explore their full potential\, body\, heart & soul! \nGive yourself to the dance of life! The Trance Dance ritual invites you to have a direct experience of freedom\, truth and power\, with awareness. A drug-free ecstasy! \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! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:45PM – 5:30PM \nSoothing sounds will help to release the stress and tension.

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. \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. 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. 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\nSAFETY GUIDELINES & PREVENTION MEASURES:\nCOVID UPDATE: \nWe are working closely with the venue  and are taking appropriate steps to ensure our indoor dance sessions are covid-secure. \nWe kindly ask that you respect and follow Siobhan Davies Dance Studio safety guidelines.

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 and breathwork practices.  \nSCHEDULE:\n◈ 12:30pm – 3pm The BIG LOVE Experience – Bliss Beyond Fear –  Learn powerful Bioenergetic Alchemy exercises for releasing stress\, fear and shock from the body. This workshop is designed to teach you how to gently release tension and stress held in the body. \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 45 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the kitchen)  \n◈ 3:45pm-5:30pm 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 30 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the kitchen)  \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!

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. \nOur video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOrELWRAqkU \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∗ ─ ⋙ \n3:45PM – 5:30PM \nLimitless Benefits: \nBreathwork has profound benefits\, and is an ongoing practice. \nPracticing Breathwork enables you to……    \n1) Oxygenate 2) Restore  3) Detox 4) Gain Clarity 6) Express suppressed emotions 7) Release old tensions 8) Amplify Energy 9) Expand awareness 10) Remove negative blocks11) Forgive past occurrences 12) Feel empowered 13) Cultivate inspiration14) Settle into a deep relaxed state 15) Tap into your truest you \nTechnical Aspects of 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.  \nYou will walk away with a new found refreshed perspective on life\, feeling like you truly enabled yourself to integrate and release that which no longer serves you. \nWalking away with a feeling of lightness\, vitality\, and love… \n \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE ∗ ─ ⋙\n6PM – 8:15PM \nBrought to you by: Ecstatic Dance London – We love to dance.

Our Saturday Ecstatic Dance sessions tend to be more of a celebration with a light-hearted party atmosphere\, in these new Sunday Dances\, you’re invited to explore  “movement as meditation” with beautiful music to accompany your journey… \nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to  explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely.

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

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 GRATITUDE CIRCLE \nAt Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate\, RAW chocolate-CACAO!

Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. \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 and started URUBU collective back in 2009 as a Live Music Ecstatic Dance experience with Afro-Brazilian drummers & musicians.  \nSeth has been running various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years. His inspiration comes from many sources including Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy\, the Human Potential Movement\, 5 Rhythms\, Tantra and Active meditations.  \nMORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:\n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗RITUAL ECSTATIC TRANCE DANCE∗ ─ ⋙\n12:3OPM – 3PM \nA beautiful experience including Cacao Ceremony & Blindfolded Trance Dance Ritual. \nThrough the use of a blindfold\, raw ceremonial cacao\, a transforming breathing technique and dynamic rhythms\, percussion and ecstatic movements\, we enter into the consciousness of our body\, to feel\, to express\, to come home… to be completely Alive! \nTHE INVITATION \nTrance Dance is an invitation into deep liberation\, driven by our breath\, our intentions\, and energy\, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect\, we let go.  \n⋙ Our consciousness can then flow\, liberating itself into the dance… and then the ecstasy happens… \nNatural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells! \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! \nFacilitated by Seth Newman \nMy purpose is to facilitate rituals that empower “the whole human being” through dance and music. Like Bioenergetics and other somatic processes\, for me\, Trance Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation. I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous\, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go\, to let flow! \nIt is through “the flow experience” that we express\, feel and find ourselves\, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens. \nTrance Dance ritual is an ecstatic\, creative process that returns us to the consciousness of the body and reclaims our Soul. For those who want to immerse themselves and explore their full potential\, body\, heart & soul! \nGive yourself to the dance of life! The Trance Dance ritual invites you to have a direct experience of freedom\, truth and power\, with awareness. A drug-free ecstasy! \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! Brilliant!” \n“Such a beautiful evening; powerful experience! Feeling blessed.” \n“That was\, excellent\, friendly\, well lead very different experience. Thank you” \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗COMMUNITY DRUM CIRCLE∗ ─ ⋙ \nFEEL THE POWER OF THE DRUM!\n3:45PM – 5:30PM \nExperience the uplifting power of rhythm! Realign with yourself\, aligning with others and go deep through rhythm & trance.  Learn some traditional African and World rhythms\, create your own rhythms\,  learn songs and chants!  \nDrums & other percussion instruments will be provided\, there will be an opportunity to swap instruments (Djembes\, Dunduns\, Congas\, Surdos\, Bongos\, Frame Drums\, Shakers\, Cowbells\, Agogo\, Shekere sand more!). Feel free to bring your own drum if you have one.  \nNo skills or experience needed. All welcome.  \nDrums have been utilised in every culture down through the ages\, for many purposes from religious rituals\, ceremonies\, and as a way to communicate. Shamans used drumming as a means of reaching an altered or trance-like state so that they can connect with the non-ordinary states of being. Drumming has also been used therapeutically since ancient times to heal\, empower\, and unify.  \nDrumming is one of the ways we can connect though rhythm\, sound\, music!  \nREASONS TO START DRUMMING:  \nDrumming can have positive effects on our physical & mental wellbeing. Here’s why drumming is good for us: \n– Makes you happy. Participate in one of our drum circles and you will see how happy it makes you! Drumming releases endorphins\, enkephalins and Alpha waves in the brain\, which are associated with general feelings of well-being and euphoria. Induces deep relaxation. In one study\, blood samples from participants who participated in an hour-long drumming session revealed a reversal in stress hormones. \n– Boosts your immune system. Studies show that drumming circles boost the immune system. Barry Bittman\, MD\, neurologist and President of the Yamaha Music & Wellness Institute\, has shown that group drumming actually increases natural T-cells\, which help the body combat cancer as well as other viruses. \n– Creates a sense of connectedness. Drumming circles and group drumming classes provide an opportunity for “synchronicity” in that you connect with your own spirit at a deeper level while also connecting with other like-minded people.  \n– Aligns your body and mind with the natural world. The Greek origin of the word “rhythm” is “to flow.” Drumming allows you to flow with the rhythms of life by simply feeling the beat.  \n– Provides a way to access a higher power. Shamans often use drumming as a means to integrate mind\, body and spirit. They focus on the whole body and then integrate the healing at both the physical and spiritual level by drumming\, which connects spiritual forces. \n-Releases negative feelings. The act of drumming can serve as a form of self-expression. You can literally drum out your feelings. When held\, negative emotions can form energy blockages. The physical stimulation of hitting the drums can help remove those blockages. Drumming has even been used therapeutically to help addicts deal with their emotions. \n-Puts you in the present moment. While drumming you are moving your awareness toward the flow of life. When you are flowing with the rhythm of life you cannot be caught up in your past or worrying about your future. Allows for personal transformation. \n– Drumming stimulates creative expression. When you drum in a group\, you not only get to self-express\, but you get feedback from the other drummers. It’s the equivalent of talk therapy! Drum circles provide a means of exploring your inner self\, and expanding your consciousness while being part of a community. \n\n\n\n⋘ ─ ∗ ECSTATIC DANCE TEMPLE & 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?

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. 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\nSAFETY GUIDELINES & PREVENTION MEASURES:\nCOVID UPDATE: \nWe kindly ask that you respect and follow Siobhan Davies Dance Studio safety guidelines.
