Drop the Weight

DROP THE WEIGHT

A 2-hour somatic experience — EFT tapping, ecstatic dance, and deep house music — designed to help you release what your body has been holding.

———

You know that feeling of finally exhaling after holding your breath for too long?

That's what this evening is designed to be.

Most of us are carrying more than we realise. Not just stress — but emotions we haven't had time to feel, grief we quietly filed away, and pressure we've normalised into our everyday. It doesn't live in our heads. It lives in the body. In the jaw. The chest. The shoulders that haven't fully dropped in months.

Drop the Weight is a guided 2-hour somatic experience that gives your body permission to put it down — not through talking, not through analysis, but through tapping, movement, and music, in that order, for a reason.

No prior experience needed. No performance expected. You simply come as you are.

HOW THE EVENING UNFOLDS

The experience is intentionally sequenced — each element leads into the next:

— EFT tapping opens your nervous system, sending a calming signal to the brain and beginning to release the emotional charge on what you've been holding

— Ecstatic dance moves it through — free-form movement that gives your body the space to process and release what tapping unlocks, at your own pace and in your own way

— A deep house set closes and integrates — holding the whole room as everything settles, so you leave feeling calm, open, and genuinely lighter

The session ends with a short integration moment — a quiet pause so your nervous system has time to settle before you step back into the world.

THE FACILITATORS

Patience, Otentikcrae — EFT Tapping

Patience guides the opening tapping session — working directly with your nervous system to begin releasing what you've been gripping onto. People arrive braced. They leave breathing.

Akua, Rhytmic with Flow — Ecstatic Dance (Movement is Medicine)

Akua creates the space for your body to move freely and process what your mind has been carrying alone. No choreography. No right way. Just your body and the music.

Simone, Afroliciousmumma — Deep House Set

Closing the experience with a set built for this exact moment — music that holds the room, integrates the release, and brings everyone home to themselves.
