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\n5:50pm-7pm SHAKING MEDICINE® (optional workshop\, see ticket types)\nShaking Medicine® Stress Release System for Self-Development and Personal Growth \nWHAT IS SHAKING MEDICINE®?\nShaking Medicine® is seen as one of the “rituals of resilience”. It is way to develop resilience and release and let go of built-up stress\, tension and trauma. It is is a body based (somatic) approach to stress\, tension and trauma release. It helps us to activate shaking\, which despite common misconceptions is a very good thing. Tremoring is our body’s natural stress recovery response. \nPracticing Shaking Medicine® not only helps to bring balance into our bodies (and life!) but releases deep-seated muscular tension\, stress\, and mild trauma. These monthly classes will enable you to understand your nervous system\, and you will have a chance to learn and practice Shaking Medicine® method. \nCome\, shake it off and shake your way to good health! \nShaking Medicine® is sometimes referred to as Bioenergetics or Trauma Release. It is one of the world’s oldest self-help medicines. \nShaking\, rocking\, vibration and oscillation are natural human reactions to: Stress\, Trauma & Ecstatic states. Shaking Medicine® is\, in short\, the healing power of ecstatic movement. Inspired by and brought to us by nature. The practice of Shaking is known by many: Quakers\, Gnostics\, Taoists\, Yoginis\, First Nations peoples\, Sufis\, Druids\, Zen Buddhists and more. \nWe are inspired by teachers such as Peter Levine\, Bradford Keeney\, Osho\, Wilhelm Reich\, Alexander Lowen\, John Peirakkos\, David Bercelli. \n  \n“Trauma recovery work has got to develop a new paradigm\, because the paradigm that we have now is based on post-traumatic stress disorder and you go to a one to one therapist. You cannot do that with large groups of people. So there has got to be a new paradigm shift in the realization of “how do we do recovery from PTSD on a large scale population?” How do we get whole groups of people\, like villages for example\, or an entire school system healed? So that’s the first paradigm shift\, we have to change our concept of PTSD recovery so that we can work on a large scale.” \n– Dr. David Bercelli \nSAFE SPACE \nThis class is an inclusive space focused on supporting each and every one of its participants. Please be respectful of others’ space\, property\, needs\, and process. Any display of antisocial or abusive behaviour will result in removal from the class without a refund. \nPERSONAL SAFETY \nA Shaking Medicine® class might not be the most suitable setting for people with severe trauma\, PTSD\, CPTSD\, burnout\, and serious health conditions or those who find it very challenging to self-regulate (unable to calm down when emotionally distressed). It would be more supportive to initially work in individual sessions. \nPREGNANCY \nShaking Medicine is not recommended. \nRECENT INJURIES & SURGERIES \nIt is best to give your body at least 3 months to heal after a surgery or serious injury before doing Shaking Medicine®. Please contact us via email if you would like to discuss your circumstances but we would advise that consult your doctor. \n\n\n\n\n💜 ALL UPCOMING WELLBEING EVENTS\, RETREATS\, FESTIVALS +CREWING:\nWebsite: ecstaticdancelondon.com/events\nLinktree: linktr.ee/ecstaticdancelondon\nInstagram: @ecstaticdance_london\nMailing list: https://ecstaticdancelondon.myflodesk.com/we-are-london \n💛FREE CREW SPACES: We’d be very happy to hear from you if you’d like to help us in exchange for a free ticket!
