"To burn always with this hard, gem-like flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life"
- Walter Pater
ECSTATIC DANCE
Dance forms the foundation of our retreat. Encouraging our bodies to engage with natural movement is simple yet profound. Dance is indigeneous to the human heart. When we move to music we match our internal rhythms to that of the Earth itself. Traditionally we danced to the beat of the drum and the shake of a rattle; instruments constructed entirely from our natural surroundings, mimicking sounds of the wild. Many cultures today still connect and celebrate in this way, however in modern societies we've utilised technological influences, creating revolutionary sound movements over the generations.
Ecstatic Dance fuses modern music with traditional, tribal culture. We engage in a 90 minute dance of varying beats, rhythms and genres, guided consciously by our intentions and subconsciously by our natural flow. The experience sits somewhere between a meditation and a rave, where states of ecstasy and bliss may be met at any moment during the dance.
Over the weekend two 90 minute ecstatic dances are supplemented by ceremonies and modalities that help us drop into deep, holistic connection with the Self. There will be plenty of down time too. A perfect weekend to rejuvenate the soul at the end of Summer.
BREATHWORK
Breathwork is a fast growing modality due to its profound effects on the nervous system. Working consciously with the breath can aid the release of trapped memories and trauma. In a professionally facilitated workshop, you will be guided through a powerful breathwork session prior to each dance, helping you to open and release in preparation for the ecstatic movement.
SOUND BATH
Just as dancing brings us back to ourselves, so does stillness. Sound baths bathe us in a multitude of vibrations via the tones and frequencies of various instruments. In a state of relaxation, these vibrations engage with the body, correcting energetic and physical blockages. It is often incredibly soothing and replenishing for the nervous system. The weekend includes two special sounds baths to aid the movement of trapped energy and open up the physiological field for deep healing.
SAUNA/ICE BATH
During the evening the sauna will be lit and ice bath filled for those of you that feel called to sweat and plunge. This creates a healthy cortisol release which both invigorates and relaxes the nervous system.
SELF INQUIRY
On the Saturday and Sunday, we will workshop with a special exercise in self inquiry that encourages us to open and confront ourselves on a more honest level. It is a beautifully harmonising experience that makes the weekend much more than just a dance retreat.
CEREMONY
Throughout the weekend we will work ceremoniously with Cacao and Fire. Cacao is the medicine of the heart. Grown largely in the South Americas, it has been used for thousands of years as a way to connect communities and share joyously and openly in love and celebration. We will work with the medicine of Cacao, connecting with its powerful spirit to engage our hearts expansively with ourselves, each other and the surrounding nature. At the close of the retreat we will work with the element of Fire. Fire allows us to purify and create. It burns away the old and initiates the new. Our intentions are offered to the sacred fire and lifted to the spirits, where we hand over the magic of our dreams to the laws of nature. A beautiful way to end our very special weekend.
