Arrival
6pm - 7pm
Delight in the beautiful surroundings of coed hills rural art space. You can enjoy a wonder in the forest garden, the stone circle, the woods, have a pick at the eco sustainable constructions or have a sauna.
Cacao Activation & intention Setting w/ Maar
7pm - 7.15pm
At the beginning of this session, we will introduce ceremonial cacao. As well as being incredibly delicious, ceremonial cacao helps us to ground, enhance our dance experience and open our hearts. It can also gently guide us to connect with hidden dimensions of ourselves. At Mystic Cocoon we prepare cacao with great respect for the indigenous wisdom keepers of this master plant medicine, infusing it with prayers, songs and love during the whole preparation process ✨
As we sip Ceremonial Cacao with intention and through a guided meditation to open our hearts, we will call in an intention for this year. The effects of cacao can vary from one person to another, but you can expect an improvement of mood and pleasure, stimulation of mental alertness and heart expansion.
As well as being one of the most potent superfood on the planet, this ceremonial grade cacao will help you to reach a state of mild euphoria, without altering your consciousness. It's a beautiful heart-opener and with intention, it can help you enhance your wellbeing to the next level. It truly is the new way to dance without alcohol and we absolutely love it!
What is in this cacao drink? ceremonial grade cacao, organic agave, vegan organic milk
Ecstatic Dance w/ Jobbi Tao
7:15pm - 8.45pm
You are invited to this safe, playful space, where the whole of you is welcomed. In this session, you will gently be guided to breathe, let go of stress, recharge and move as you feel. Dancing and cultivating authentic movement from the inside is deeply nurturing and healing. Be prepared to deeply connect with the elements, move, sweat, experience and enjoy!
🌊 Unlike clubbing, ecstatic dance sets are built like "waves" moving from slow and mellow, to very dynamic and everything else in between; gently guiding you to stretch your body and mind in many directions, to experience the vast spectrum of your emotions with mindfulness and wild abandon. Most of the time when people dance it is to look good to others, but here, we dance to connect with our authentic natural selves.
Closing Circle w/ Maar & Sea Gypsee
8.45-9pm
We gather in circle to close the evening. This is a chance to feel connected in peace as a tribe. We tune into what is present within us, share and receive others experience in authenticity and non judgment. There will also be a chance to talk more by the fire after the dance.
Social Time
9-10pm
After the dance, for those who wish to stay, there will be locally sourced curries made by Sunshine Kitchen World and a time for us to just be together.
Excited to welcome again Setondje - a South Wales based chef born in Benin who brings great energy to our dance commmunity. You might have met him on the dance floor or when he offered his foraging & food workshop at Coed Ffest last year!
Get ready for plant based, locally sourced, world cuisine fusion creations that are just super healthy and delicious!
