πWelcome to Cocoon Ecstatic Dance π
Cocoon is lovingly co-founded by Morpho and Olivia, who share a love of dance, sacred spaces, transformation and creating community. We believe in the power of music and dance to reconnect us to ourselves, to each other, and to something greater.
Our vision is to create a sacred space where you can be your most authentic self, to dance however you want, to explore whatβs alive within you, to feel deeply, and to let go of what no longer serves. Through this embodied journey, letting the music be your guide, transformation naturally unfolds.

DJ & Facilitator: We are delighted to welcome global ecstatic dance DJ Our Echo to Cocoon ED who will be taking you on a journey through the Alchemy of Shadow.
About Our Echo: 'My path through sound and music is one of personal evolution, communal connection, and a fearless dance with the shadow. Within my sets, you will encounter the vibrant rhythms of Latin funk, the pulse of throbbing bass, the grounding of 4-on-the-floor beats, ambient strings that transport you, tribal drums that awaken your spirit, and melodic threads that intertwine with classical compositions, conscious floetry, binaural beats, and the haunting echoes of ancestors yet unknown.'
Ecstatic Dance theme: Alchemy of Shadow π€πβ¨ - as Autumn deepens and Scorpio season begins we dance into the mystery, into transformation.
π€ What lies beneath the surface.
π€ What wants to be transformed.
π€ What wants to be released.
We dance to transmute old energy into new light, endings into beginnings.

What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic dance is a free form dance/movement practice in which you are invited to feel into your body and express any emotions that are present through movement. The music takes you on a journey, starting off slowly, gradually building the energy to a peak and then bringin you back down for an integration. There are no moves or ways to dance in ecstatic dance, you are free to express yourselves however you'd like. You can dance on your own or with other dancers, however you feel.
πΈ 3 Simple Principles πΈ
1. We Dance without shoes: This allows us to connect more fully with the ground.
2. We Dance without words: This makes it easier to be in a meditative state, be in your body and let go of the mind.
3. We Dance as we are: Drugs/alcohol free, phone/camera/video free, just be yourself; with respect for ourselves, the space, and one another.
πPlease note that by purchasing a ticket you agree to take full responsibility of yourself, your health, your well-being and all of your belongings whilst at the dance and that Cocoon is not liable for any injury or harm that you may incur at this event. π
