Join us for a playful evening of joy, connection, and exploration at Movement Medicine – a unique fusion of playful connection practices, heart-activating cacao ritual, and ecstatic contact dance. Immerse yourself in a space where movement becomes medicine, and every step is a celebration of life.

What to Expect:

Playful Connection Workshop: We warm up with a playful connection workshop with @annina.yandana & @ellasolavidor where we explore the magic of playful connection with self and others! First you’ll be taken on a blindfolded elemental journey within to anchor into your innate body compass, after which it’s time for some interactive and lighthearted connection and contact dance practices designed to break down barriers and foster a deeper sense of movement with the souls you’re sharing the space with.

Cacao Heart Ritual: The evening continues with a deep drop into our hearts and Mother Earth through the magic of ceremonial cacao with @lovebeancacao. You’ll be guided to receive the heart-opening properties of the "food of the gods” to enhance your journey throughout the evening. Guided by the spirit of cacao we come together in gratitude with deep intention to expand, move, play, and celebrate life.

Ecstatic Contact Dance: Finally it’s time to release inhibitions and surrender to the rhythm of your own heartbeat as a collective with @pumahmusic guiding you through a liberating ecstatic dance experience, where movement is a form of self-expression, and every step is a celebration of the beauty of being alive. You’re invited to use the playful connection and contact dance skills we practiced earlier to rediscover the joy of Movement Medicine while connecting with yourself and others in a playful way.

Why Attend?

Celebrate Life: Movement Medicine is a celebration of life, an invitation to embrace joy, and an opportunity to connect with like-minded souls in a supportive and playful environment.

Explore & Play: Discover the transformative power of movement, music and dance as a form of self-discovery and expression. This evening is an opportunity to play, explore, and connect deeper with yourself and other beautiful souls.

Create Lasting Memories: Leave with an open heart and a sense of deeper connection to self and others. Movement Medicine is not just an event; it's an experience that lingers long after the night ends.
