What is it?
A safe space for you to come and be seen, accepted as equals without judgement. To set intentions for the coming month in Sacred Ceremony & Dance/Move in celebration for life as we step into our heart centred power.

It's a Sacred container to connect to your inner most desires and dance them into creation through a concoction of heart opening Cacao Ceremony & Meditation with liberated Elemental Dance.

No experience necessary, just a willingness to move and be moved by the music!

Cacao Ceremony
Introduction to Cacao, history, origins, sharing circle, setting intentions and heart-opening practices.

NEW: We're using the best Ceremonial Cacao in the world: Keith's Cacao renowned for being the highest quality, sourced from Guatemala the home of Cacao and with the best practices for the most nutrient dense and best quality Cacao!

5 Element Dance
A freeform, sober movement practice. Working with the wisdom of the 5 Elements through a movement practice/dance. Each element has its own energy and when we tune in to this energy, it supports us in our daily lives. We use specially selected music to facilitate and connect us to each of the 5 elements.

EARTH helps us feel grounded, to trust that we are supported, it's tuning in to the powerful energy of the EARTH, it's nourishing us and releasing anything that doesn't serve us. It's primal and instinctive.
- Movements associated with EARTH; heavy, stomping, animal like roaring.
WATER is about surrendering to the flow, letting go of expectation and allowing. It's cleansing and purifying, reminding us that we can flow around obstacles and that water can cut through toughest of stone. WATER can be calm or it can be a raging waterfall of emotion.
- Movements associated with WATER; swirling, twirling, fast / slow, floating, being carried, mixing with other water.
FIRE is passion, transformation, heat, high energy and confidence.
- Movements associated with FIRE; rapid movement, limbs flicker and flail, letting go, big roars of celebration or releasing of anger.
AIR is about breath, remembering that after intense action and activity we need to centre, to breath and slow down. AIR is playful and changeable reminding not to be rigid and to enjoy life.
- Movements associated with AIR; floating like a feather on the breeze, flying like a bird, changing directions like gusty wind.
ETHER is the non-physical, it's connection to source, spirits, the universe, love and infinite wisdom. Tuning in to mediative states.
- Movements associated with ETHER; slow, like floating in honey, letting spirit move you, allowing your body to be moved.

You Will:
Explore Cacao and Dance as a potent synthesis for liberation! Release what no longer serves you and invite in what you want more of in your life!

“Each of us is a moving centre, a space of divine mystery. And though we spend most of our time on the surface in the daily details of ordinary existence, most of us hunger to connect to this space within, to break through to ecstatic states of consciousness, to be swept away.” -Gabrielle Roth

Ecstatic Dance / Movement Meditation is a judgement free, safe space for you to be you. You dance and move in a way that FEELS good to you. It is a chance to drop into our body, to connect to the earth and present moment, to open up and allow life to flow through you, to express how you feel through the way your body wants to move with the rhythm and beat of the music and to connect and celebrate with your highest ecstatic self, the universe and those you share this space with. It's a chance to powerfully step out of your comfort zone, express how you feel, be creative and free. It's a chance to celebrate, release, be free and have fun and It's a way of being that we can bring into our everyday lives.

"Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad, right or wrong. However, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy, without denying our anger or sadness? Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way." ~ Abigail Harri
