Somatic Ecstatic Dance: The Introspection - 21 May

As the year speeds up, the season calls for us to slow down. The Introspection is an invitation to soften inward — to drop beneath the noise of the mind and into the wisdom of the body. Through somatic ecstatic dance, we journey into the deeper layers of our being. The unseen parts. The tender places. The emotions, stories and sensations quietly waiting to be felt, witnessed and moved. Together, we gather in community and are guided by a live soundscape designed to nourish the nervous system, awaken presence, and support deep inner exploration. A space to remember yourself. A space to feel. A space to return home to your body. Thursday 21 May 7.00 - 8.30pm Dance Temple, 30 mins north of Dunedin (location sent upon registration) Somatic Ecstatic Dance is a guided free form movement journey, inspired by somatic dance, ecstatic dance and 5 Rhythms. Whether you're new to dance or a seasoned mover, this event is for anyone seeking freedom, connection, and authentic expression. Held in a non-judgemental space where all of you is welcome, no prior dance experience is necessary and all bodies are welcome. The recipe is simple: No booze, shoes or talking on the dance, epic music and a beautiful group of humans. Wear clothes you are comfortable moving in (layers are great), bring a drink bottle and a drop or two of curiosity! This dance will be guided and DJd by Lili Eve, a Somatic Dance DJ/Facilitator and dance floor activator.
