Join Alison, of Just BE Sound and Movement Therapy, and founder of Ecstatic Dance Berkshire for:

Ecstatic Dance With Cacao & Sound Bath – The Four Elements

Enter the space in sacred silence from 7.20pm and join us in meditation.

At 7.30pm, sitting in circle, you’ll be guided through a short centring practice, with an invitation to scan the body, emotions and mind. This practice is an opportunity to bring more presence to your experience and to connect more deeply with your self and your heart.

As we move into our cacao ceremony, we pass our Guatemalan cacao around the circle with love, before practicing gratitude and setting intentions together.

We’ll begin our movement journey together with a little guidance to warm up. The invitation is to disconnect the mind and connect with the body freely, without self-judgement or fearing judgement from others. Movement is conscious, intuitive and spontaneous as you allow the vibrations of the sound to resonate in whichever way feels right for you. Each dance journey is different, with the music an eclectic mix of different genres. You’ll be invited to be curious with your exploration of your body and movements, to bring moment by moment awareness to what’s moving through you.

The evening will close with a sound bath with didgeriodo, handpan, shruti and vocals, and a short closing circle with fruit, and some optional time to socialise.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:

‘What an experience, mind blowing, loved every minute of it!’

‘That was the best experience of my life! To feel no judgement in a room full of people!’

‘How does ecstatic dance feel? Like you are truly in your own world, letting your body take in and respond to wonderful music….to really FEEL the music and what that brings up in your body. ‘

‘Alison incorporates a few questions and prompts which guide you to really be in the moment and let go further. As a newbie to this type of dance, I’ve tried it a handful of times and am completely hooked. I had never danced before and was very self-conscious at first, I’m overjoyed at how liberating and natural this feels and it is now one of my core activities for self -and soul nourishment!’
