WHAT IS THE DAY ABOUT?
Each of our all-day workshops are like mini-urban retreats, offering Londoners a kind of sanctuary space to come and dance, be themselves, dive deep, have fun, release stress, connect with their body, and stretch themselves beyond their usual way of being. You can attend the whole day or just drop-in for single workshops. No experience necessary.
During the day you will have the chance to dance and dive into a selection of some very beautiful and unique movement & expressive practices.
SCHEDULE:
◈ 11:45am-2:30pm What's your Vision for 2023? Guided Creativity and Meditation Workshop - This workshop is based on the work of Creative Flow Dojo® . Whose main aim is to help you develop daily habits to make your dreams come true! Whether it's about writing that book, meeting "the one", creating a rewarding career, having the courage to take risks in your life, achieving daily healthy habits, or just feeling good and being more connected to your body and your life-vision, we would love to support you!
• Creative Flow - The optimal body-mind state of consciousness where we feel and perform at our best.
• Dojo - A dōjō is a space for immersive learning and practice. This term is traditionally used within the field of martial arts.
Many of us know what it’s like to be in an optimal state of "creative flow" and when we are deeply connected to the best of who we are. But do we have to just wait for inspiration to strike, or is there a way that we can hack ‘the zone’?
◈ break 60 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway)
◈ 3:45pm-5:45pm CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS & BREATH - Open to new possibilities in connection and authentic relating. During this workshop, you will be invited to first tune into yourself, your body, and your sensations through guided meditations and exercises. Create safety,grounding and containment, we then meet others in a non-traditional and heart-centered way. Join us to learn to honour your personal boundaries, open your heart and learn to enjoy your desire for both connection and taking space, and then to communicate and honour both with authenticity.
We'll also have time to tune into the power of our breath to energise, revitalise and nourish ourself and the connections between us.
◈ break 75 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway)
◈ 7pm-9:45pm Ecstatic Dance MY ECSTATIC ODYSSEY - an evening of Uplifting & Heart Opening Electronic Dance Music, Cacao Ceremony, Positive Intention Setting/ Ecstatic Dance SoundWave. Musical Vibes: Deep & Euphoric House

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
This workshop is based on the work of Creative Flow Dojo® . Whose main aim is to help you develop daily habits to make your dreams come true! Whether it's about writing that book, meeting "the one", creating a rewarding career, having the courage to take risks in your life, achieving daily healthy habits, or just feeling good and being more connected to your body and your life-vision, we would love to support you!
• Creative Flow - The optimal body-mind state of consciousness where we feel and perform at our best.
• Dojo - A dōjō is a space for immersive learning and practice. This term is traditionally used within the field of martial arts.
Many of us know what it’s like to be in an optimal state of "creative flow" and when we are deeply connected to the best of who we are. But do we have to just wait for inspiration to strike, or is there a way that we can hack ‘the zone’?
To be generative, to be creative, we must first create the optimal conditions and get into a "creative flow state". Throughout our classes, you will learn how to get there, and with practice, stay there. This is what the Creative Flow Dojo™ is about - helping you to get into an optimal state for creativity, performance, health and wellbeing.
- Learn how to develop a "creative flow state" for health & wellbeing, creativity and optimal performance in which you can creatively engage with whatever you're faced with. It could be a criticism, it could be a challenge, it could be a particular problem, or it could be a creative performance!
- Discover how to tap into and maintain a peak performance state, what we are calling a "creative flow state". Athletes might call it "the zone", or martial artists might use the term "chi flow", but whatever you call it, it is a state in which to be able to deal skillfully and creatively, with whatever it is that you are engaged with.
⋘ ─ ∗CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS & BREATHWORK∗ ─ ⋙
3:45pm-5:45pm
- Expect guided meditations, somatic grounding and centring, and communication practices. Led by Seth Newman
Creating a safe and respectful space, we will explore simple exercises aimed at strengthening our ability to connect to one another and to become more comfortable with honesty, openness and vulnerability.
This workshop is an invitation to the total experience of life, multi-dimensional human life! The main focus of our work is on deepening our connection to the Heart! The workshop is an invitation to slow down and bring your awareness back into the present, back to your body and felt sense, and to simple, yet, precious moments.
The Conscious Connections workshop is about:
- Developing our sensitivity to ourselves and what we are experiencing,
- Allowing ourselves to be, and to be seen,
- Developing love and acceptance for ourselves,
- Becoming aware of the ways we shut down.
The purpose of the breathwork component to this workshop is:
- To connect deeply with yourself and your own bodily sensations and emotions through conscious connected breathing.
- To then open up to connecting with others in the group by making eye contact and breathing together. This allows you to see yourself reflected in others and experience the dance of inner and outer awareness.
- It serves as a ritual or ceremony to celebrate the journey that you are on in your life, crossing the threshold of Winter Solstice, building trust, presence and a deeper friendship with your breath.
- The practice helps develop the skills of staying grounded and rooted in yourself while also being open to relationship and exchange with others. It explores the push and pull between inner and outer awareness.
ECSTATIC DANCE LONDON presents: MY ECSTATIC ODYSSEY - an evening of Uplifting & Euphoric Electronic Dance Music, Cacao Ceremony & Fruit Social 7pm-9:45pm - Deep & Organic House | A little Funk & Disco| Ambient Electronic Sound Scapes
WHAT IS "MY ECSTATIC ODYSSEY" ALL ABOUT?
My Ecstatic Odyssey is inspired by some of our summertime outdoor Sunset Ecstatic Dances. There is something magical about a sunset or sunrise that takes us deep into The Now. That mystical threshold between past and future, where the world starts to feel alive! We'll be channelling the spirit of Ibiza, Goa, and inspiring Sunset/Sunrises worldwide in this potent time of year.
Come and dance to OPEN-UP, to release city stress, dance in more light and joy, and make new friends - all accompanied by a transformational euphoric & uplifting dance music set to connect us deeply with our dance, our hearts, and our creativity.
We'll be including delicious ceremonial grade cacao and a beautiful cacao ceremony/guided meditation facilitated by Seth to connect us with our body, our heart, and positive intention.
No prior experience of dance necessary. All welcome.
