Join Ecstatic Dance Berkshire (founded by Alison from Just BE Sound and Movement Therapy) for this Ecstatic Dance Journey.
****
Welcome to The Transforming Together 4 Week series - a series inspired by our amazing dance community.
Part 1/4 - 23rd May - Awaken & Remember
Our journey will begin by focusing on our physical presence on this Earth. Dropping out of the mind and into the NOW, this is a chance to discover what happens when we become deeply connected to our physical forms. It’s time to awaken together and remember who we truly are.
What To Expect: Invitations to connect deeply in different and new ways to your body, breath and senses.
As always, everything is an invitation. You are encouraged to dance your own dance in this space, always honouring yourself and your boundaries.
****
Part 2/4 - 30th May - Connect & Heal
Part 3/4 - 6th June - Elevate & Create
Part 4/4 - 13th June - Unite & Expand
Then we'll bring everything together for our Summer Solstice Medicine Dance 21- 22 June!

THE JOURNEY
Enter the hall space in sacred silence from 7.20pm and join us in meditation.
At 7.30pm, sitting in circle, you'll be guided through a short centring practice, with an invitation to scan the body, emotions and mind. This practice is an oppportunity to bring more presence to your experience and to connect more deeply with your self and your heart.
As we move into our cacao ceremony, we pass our Guatemalan cacao around the circle with love, before practicing gratitude and setting intentions together.
We’ll begin our movement journey together with a little guidance to warm up.
Movement is conscious, intuitive and spontaneous as you allow the vibrations of the sound to resonate in whichever way feels right for you. The invitation is to disconnect the mind and connect with the body freely, noticing any self-judgement and any fears around judgement from others.
The evening will close with a mini sound bath and a short closing circle with fruit, and some optional time to socialise.
Together we co-create a safe container, offering respect to our fellow dancers and their space, keeping to the guidelines of no chat, no shoes, no drugs, no alcohol.
THE MUSIC
Each dance is a soundwave journey, with the music being intuitively chosen from an eclectic mix of different genres. The experience is less about the type of music and more about how all aspects of your being relates to it. You'll be invited to be curious with your exploration of your body and movements, to bring moment by moment awareness to what's moving through you.
