The Sacred Sessions Vol. XVII

The Sacred Sessions ✨
Not just dance.
A journey.
A release.
A return to yourself.

Breathe. Move. Let go. Be guided by music and live instruments into a space where your body finds freedom and your spirit feels alive. End wrapped in sound, grounded and open.

Your journey begins here. 💫

We gather in circle to arrive and settle, guided by simple Pranayama to quiet the mind and connect with the body.

As the music builds, you’ll be invited to explore movement in your own way — no steps, no performance, just freedom. The rhythms will carry you deeper into flow, helping you reconnect with parts of yourself that are often forgotten.

When the music softens, you’ll rest into a soundscape of live instruments, letting the vibrations wash through you, leaving you clear, calm, and renewed.

Bring yourself as you are. The rest will unfold.

• Weaving of live instruments into the dance journey

• Letting it all go on the dance floor, with open ears

• Integration of the dance through a beautiful sound healing by Chris Lane

• A deep and joyous reconnection with Self and body in a way you didn't realise you needed

• A connection with other like-minded people in a gentle space

• An open mind :)

• Please wear clothes that express who you are and that you can also move freely in

• Please arrive 5 mins early so we may honour time and so you may settle into the space.
