You're welcome to come for the whole day or drop into individual sessions. All are welcome! WHAT IS THE DAY ABOUT? Each of our Sunday Sessions offer 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. Strictly no latecomers! - Sorry, please arrive on time! Unfortunately, if you are more than 15 minutes late for the first two workshops , you will not be allowed entry (and there can be no refunds, very sorry!) as we need to make it a calm & peaceful space for people who are already here. For Ecstatic Dance - doors will close 30min after the start of the session. 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 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/Movement Meditation with *Cacao Gratitude Circle* (with sound system and optional of Silent Disco Headphones to fully immerse into the music! We will provide complimentary Raw Vegan Cacao - super yummy, the best in London for sure! ) ◈ 8pm - Workshop ends ◈ 8:15pm -8:45pm Optional social with refreshing fruit to nourish you after the dance
