About this Event
We invite you to come and gather at this Solstice Sunrise headphone special, where we will dance in the light on the shortest day of the year! ⛅
This special gathering will take place come rain or shine in the beautiful outdoors of our incredible county. We will gather to a bespoke curated and timed soundtrack which will light a sonic flame for sunrise and journey us into the day. Wearing silent disco headphones, we will start with a short walk together from our meeting point ( car park) to a beautiful costal location with spoken word and music in our ears and then dance and celebrate the lengthening of the coming days and create an opportunity to gather ourselves and prepare for the incoming seasonal period by dancing together.
We will be twinning this event with another event in mid cornwall where dancers will be dancing to the same music at the same time connecting across the county!
These events are some of the highlights of our year, the rugged winter coastline and strong winds made the dance even more special last 2 years as it seemed we were dancing with nature.
Afterwards there will be the option to eat breakfast together in a nearby cafe.
RAVE OM
Rave OM is a conscious dance event that is part dance party, part rave-ritual, and part movement meditation. This sober gathering reclaims music as the high and puts community at its heart.
The two-hour ecstatic dance session is an invitation to let go in a non-judgemental space, unwinding your body and mind as we come together to celebrate the magic of movement. Our handpicked line-up of talented DJs will curate an unforgettable blend of soul-stirring tunes, creating a seamless fusion of world rhythms, tribal beats, and electronic vibrations with all genres in play. There are no prescribed steps or rules – simply surrender to the dance and allow the music to be your guide. Our dance floor is sacred, and we celebrate through the language of the body.
Whether you're a conscious dance veteran or completely new to ecstatic dance, this event is open to everyone, creating a welcoming vibe for all ages and backgrounds. A perfect place to meet others and connect, have a special dpay out with loved ones, or to just have time and space for yourself. Our intention is that you leave your worries behind, unleash your spirit, and feel part of this transformative celebration.
Limited spots available! Secure your place now for an experience that will leave you glowing with euphoria.
See you on the dance floor!
WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?
Ecstatic Dance is a non religious free-form dance inviting people to connect to themselves and to others through music and movement. All emotions and feelings are encouraged. It takes place over a DJ set and starts and finishes with a short opening and closing circle led by a ‘ceremony leader’ who is another dancer who is there to facilitate the opening and closing of the dance. There is no teacher as such, but we ask you to follow a few guidelines:
l) No talking on the dancefloor - if you "must" use words, please do so at the very back of the space, whispering so that no one else may hear. Thank You.
2) Be your authentic self - Don't show up in having drunk or used any non-prescribed substances - even naturally occurring hippy validated ones such as W**d or hape. Move howeveryou wish - Accept others without judgement
3) Respect the space No Photos/Videos/Shoes/Scents (Turn Phones to SILENT)
When approaching others:
Respect the Solo Dancers' Right to their own Space
Continuously Listen for the 'Yes' (eye contact, they are coming closer), Respect any 'No' (like when they are ignoring you or making the prayer gesture 🙏🏽)
Hands in prayer at heart means: "l see you, and thank you, but I am not ready to dance with you.
4) Enjoy your Journey - May it be Medicinal (!)
Because our space is therapeutic in its allowance of all emotions we will have trauma informed volunteers on hand to support you should you need some support, but they will only assist if you explicitly ask them for support.
