Each of our Sunday Sessions offers 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 & relaxation practices. SCHEDULE: ◈ 12:30pm - 3pm DANCE OF AWARENESS: similar in structure to the Five Rhythms wave developed by Roth (1999), but has been adapted to take account of psychodynamic theory and developmental psychology. The phases of the cycle follow themes of human development from pre-birth through to around five years. This is the time period associated with the growing sense of self which becomes embodied through early experience, and which sets the patterns for adulthood. This gives the mover the opportunity to re-experience the formative years of early development, explore old imprints, and discover new patterns of moving and relating. We will explore 6 cycles throughout the session: Sensing, Grounding, Expressing, Releasing, Connecting and Completing following an energetic wave of charging and discharging over the course of a session. ◈ break 45min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the kitchen) ◈ 3:45pm-5:30pm SUNDAY SOUND SANCTUARY - Sound Journey/ Gong Bath with Dee & Seth: Soothing sounds to support deep relaxation, calm and wellbeing. Release the stress and tension of daily life in London. Our Sound Journeys are an opportunity to let go and reconnect with yourself through deep relaxation practices and guided meditation while basking in Cosmic, Ethereal Vocals and Electronic Soundscapes, Textures, Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs and much much more . A Unique & Beautiful Experience on Sunday afternoon! ◈ break 30 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the kitchen) ◈ 6pm - 8:15pm ECSTATIC DANCE TEMPLE - Ecstatic Dance/Movement Meditation with *Cacao Gratitude Circle* (with sound system and optional of Silent Disco Headphones to fully immerse into the music!
