โœจJimmy Greenwood is the founder of Black Cat Cacao, a craft rooted in years of exploration with ritual, creativity, and ancestral food traditions. His journey led him deep into Ecuadorโ€™s ancient cacao heartlands, where he connected with forest custodians and learnt to work with cacao as a gentle, heart-opening medicine. Each Black Cat Cacao trinity blend carries a trace of that sacred harvest ๐ŸคŽpure, unsweetened, and crafted to warm the body, soften the heart, and awaken the senses.
๐ŸŒ‘โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ For our anniversary dance, Jimmy offers cacao as a companion for renewal, helping us move into ecstatic dance with openness, clarity, creative expression and grounded presenceโœจ

DJ NavaSkye (Abi), instigator of Ecstatic Dance Bath, is a DJโ€“facilitator known for her deeply intuitive, genre-blending journeys. Weaving world and tribal rhythms with funk, soul, jazz, hip hop and drum & bass, her sets move like a wave - from gentle arrival into powerful, embodied release.

Often, dancers say they can feel her heart in the music she chooses. With a natural sensitivity to the room, Abi guides the dancefloor with warmth, presence and care - creating a safe, inclusive space where youโ€™re free to move, express and reconnect in your own way.
