About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

The Winter Solstice marks the turning point from dark to light in our yearly cycle and is often used as a potent time for a sense of rebirth. It is a yearly marker for shedding the old and birthing new ways of being.

It is also seen as a time when the 'veil' between the physical and the spiritual planes thins... A time when we can more easily contact our highest self and the mystical presence of the divine.

For this Winter Solstice Ecstatic Dance Journey, we will once again be joined by musial magician Gareth Mansel. Together we will weave you an immersive experience of sound, dance, and ritual that enables you to connect deeply with the divine.

The Divine Dancer is an invitation to allow the merging of the dancer and the dance. We will invite you to dive deep into yourself and touch the inner landscape of your soul, before extending you outwards through movement into an expanded sense of self, where you can embody more of the divine, both in your dance, and in your life.

This is an ecstatic dance experience crafted to warm your spirit. We'll be blending expansive, energetic dance with moments of immersive live sound to take you on a unique journey.

Our deepest commitment is to create a space for you that is immersive, expansive and regenerative. We look forward to welcoming you.

Organised by

Ecstatic and Conscious Dance classes that supports you move from fixed to fluid; from having a body to being embodied.

Through collective and intentional free-form movement we aim to shift energy, explore new expressions of the body, connect with our tribe and above all, connect with our spirit.

Each class offers a different exploration of the body, within a format that (for those returning) feels 'familiar enough' so you don't have to think about how you are going to dance.

We start by warming up the body and breathe, dropping into our awareness and making friends with whatever is arising for us in the here and now of our experience.

Gradually, you are invitied to move from a place of authenticity and spontineity... Delving beyond the movement of the physical body to tune in to the subtler experiences of our bodies and using them as inspiration and fuel for our dance expressions... Making space for all that arises, we "move and include it all", expressing what words cannot, and allowing the body to re-organise our expereince, together in movement.

Each Dance is supported by a live, specially crafted, DJ set that blends aspects of world, electronic and inspirational music. Live instruments and voice are often added to the mix to help deepen the process and evoke the spirit of your inner dancer.

Come and Move... to a different state of BEING.
