About this Event
Ecstatic Dance is all about dancing like no one is watching you, Cacoa Ceremony, Live DJ with Sound System, and Sound bath
Ecstatic dance is an opportunity to move, express, release, embody, energise, activate, return home to ourselves. Exploring and meeting different states of being in a sober environment. Supported by music, movement and community.
The Practice: 90 minutes of freestyle dancing to a large sound wave with a mixed genre music set. Featuring Live DJ with amazing sound system. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided.
We will let the music, the community and our own inner space direct our steps, our movements, our expression, our journey.
You'll be led by a live DJ Charlotte who will start with low tempo melodic, soulful and heartfelt tunes. Which will gradually progress in to a full powered high tempo dance. Ending with a slow flowing and fluid journey. You can dive deeply into the heart and body, connecting and expressing, letting go and having fun. Moving your body in any way that you wish.
