New to Ecstatic dance ?
———————————————

Ecstatic dance is a free movement space to allow the inner world to express and release through the body, in form of movement and sound.

A method to connect with oneself and subsequently with others on a deeper level.

It is a personal journey and Everything is welcomed

You are welcomed as you are

A no judgments and no expectations practice , where benefits are proven to include and not limited to ;

- stress relief

- increased energy

- sense of oneness and freedom

- deeper connection to the body and self

And over long term, improving connection with others, improving physical health and overall well-being.

We follow our ecstatic dance with a sound journey to drop back into space , observe the inner movements of energetic pulsations and currents. Bringing conscious awareness to the process.

We have Rana and Jessie in an opening circle to set intentions through some breath awareness and mindful dropping , this new moon portal we have a dear friend and a fabulous musician Dj Anirvan deva on the decks whose known for taking people through exquisite musical ecstatic journeys and will be joined with Rana who is going to take us on a sound journey to ground us all in a meditative integrative state before transitioning back into the circle.

Acknowledging the chaotic manifestation in the world, and not turning a blind eye from it - we dedicate a percentage of the fee to this event to a family in need in Gaza - Palestine , it will be supporting Safaa and her 2 kids with essential expenses and hopefully a safe passage to Egypt.

We dedicate the powerful alchemy of this practice to all those under oppression and currently experiencing a genocide. We are alchemists doing our job from deep within.

Cycle after cycle we meet
Set intentions
And allow the embodiment takes space from the smallest atom within
