Ecstatic dance in Marlborough, Wiltshire.

Ecstatic dance is a judgment free dance event.

An opportunity to dance and express yourself like no one is watching.

You are invited to show up as you are, all emotions and expressions of yourself are welcome in this space. You will be met you where you are at.

The music will take you on a journey to connect with yourself and your body. The music will be mixed by an incredible DJ and we will be closing the event with a deep meditation and visualisation practice.

The event is created and lead by Claire Doré, relationship and dating coach teaching on intimacy and embodiment, supporting people to get out of their heads and into their bodies. Claire is adept at holding space for large groups.

It is advised to bring a blanket and yoga mat for the end of the session when we will lie on the floor, take some space for self reflection and be guided through a meditation by Claire.

Soft drinks and refreshments will be available.

Please note this is a sober event.

Ecstatic dance guidelines: (Note these are just guidelines, not "rules", I personally don't do rules, this is consciously created to support you in getting the most from the session).
1. Dance without shoes, ideally barefoot or socks.
This allows you to connect more fully with the ground.
If you have a physical condition that you need dance shoes, then please do.
2. Ecstatic dance is dancing without words.
This makes it easier to be in a meditative state. I am not super strict about this but be mindful that some people will be using this as a spiritual practice. The assembly room is a large space so there will be spaces to connect and chat as well as space to talk in the bar area or stairwell too.
3. Dance as you are.
No Drugs/alcohol, no phones, no camera/video, no expectations, no judgements, no shoulds, no oughts… just be yourself; with respect for ourselves, the space, and one another.

Super excited to welcome you, the first dance event was an extremely powerful experience and incredibly uplifting for the attendees.
