Welcome to the Ecstatic Dance Temple®
We run Ecstatic Dance, Conscious Movement events held in healthy, smoke-free, drug and alcohol-free environments.
More info on our events here: https://urubu-events.eventbrite.com/
Without drugs or alcohol express yourself. Sweat your prayers on the dance floor. Let it out and connect with yourself and with others in a fresh new way. Breathe deeply and ground your attention inwards. The invitation for this evening is to begin to quiet the mind and enter into your body temple, befriending all that you may find.
"Each of us is a moving centre, a space of divine mystery. And though we spend most of our time on the surface in the daily details of ordinary existence, most of us hunger to connect to this space within, to break through to ecstatic states of consciousness, to be swept away." -Gabrielle Roth
Ecstatic Dance/ Movement Meditation is an opportunity to find freedom in our own ability to feel and move with all that is and with everything that arises in our body, heart and mind! This practice encourages moving with a grounded body, focus, abandon, grace and ease.
There is no experience necessary, just a willingness to move and be moved!
Classes are facilitated by Seth Newman, Seth is an Art of Being© graduate, IATE Graduate, Bioenergetics practitioner, certified Trance Dance teacher and is the pioneer of live music ecstatic dance events in the UK, with his band the Urubu Collective. He brings a wealth of experience holding heart centred spaces.

Many of us know that certain music genres can take us into deep states of bliss. tuning us to aspects of ourselves that we have lost touch with. And that, through dance, we can reconnect with the wonder, openness, and ecstatic nature of our being.
This kind of dance-as-meditation has been practiced throughout the ages, connecting us with something far greater than our individual selves.
This event is a very special invitation to come and dance to OPEN-UP, to release city stress, dance in more light and joy, and make new friends - all accompanied by a transformational mystical euphoric & uplifting dance music set to connect us deeply with our dance, our hearts, and our creativity.
We'll be including delicious ceremonial grade cacao and a beautiful cacao ceremony/guided meditation facilitated by Seth to connect us with our body, our heart, and positive intention.

WHAT IS THE DAY ABOUT?
Each of our all-day Saturday Sessions offers Londoners a kind of sanctuary space to come and dance, be themselves, dive deep, have fun, release stress, connect with their body, and stretch themselves beyond their usual way of being. You can attend the whole day or just drop-in for single workshops. No experience necessary.
During the day you will have the chance to dance and dive into a selection of some very beautiful and unique movement & relaxation practices.
Join us for this one-of-a-kind transformational retreat combining three powerful modalities!- SCHEDULE:
◈ 11:45am-2:30pm The BIG LOVE Experience - Bliss Beyond Fear – Learn powerful Bioenergetic Alchemy exercises for releasing stress, fear and shock from the body. This workshop is designed to teach you how to gently release tension and stress held in the body.
During this workshop you will learn a series of carefully designed Bioenergetic Alchemy™ exercises and postures (similar to Yoga or Tai Chi) where we will release fear and tension from our body to re-experience our natural state, what the Kalahari Bushmen call, “The Big Love”.
“My classes follow a format of checking in with the body, warm-ups, grounding and building the body’s energy, then discharging the energy through movement and expression. This is followed by relaxation. The immediate result is a felt sense of security, vibrancy and exhilaration.” – Seth Newman - Various spiritual teachings, such as A Course in Miracles, say that there are only two fundamental emotions: love and fear. If we can begin to safely & gently release tension, shock & fear from the body, we then open to an experience of the body in its natural state, deeply relaxed, at ease, and with a sense of peace and wellbeing. The Kalahari Bushmen call this natural state, the BIG LOVE. (Please bring a yoga mat & blanket)

WHAT IS BIOENERGETIC ALCHEMY? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOrELWRAqkU - ◈ 3:30-5:45pm Bioenergetic Breathwork Session - an Introduction to Conscious Connected Breathwork
Our Bioenergetic Breathwork (CCB) sessions are a wonderful way to deeply relax and rejuvenate your body, your mind, and your entire nervous system. It is also a safe and healthy way to reach creative states of consciousness, allowing a participant to access their deeper/higher consciousness. Resulting in improved physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Through the use of grounding exercises, tapping and conscious, connected diaphragmatic breathing, each individual is the leader of their own journey.
Our facilitation includes space-holding, affirmations, aromatherapy and Reiki to assist in this personal process. At the very least, the breathwork will be relaxing and detoxifying… and at most, a Big Love experience! - ◈ break 75 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway )
- ◈ 7pm - 9:45pm MY ECSTATIC ODYSSEY - Ecstatic Dance/Movement Meditation with Cacao Circle (We will provide complimentary Raw Vegan Cacao - super yummy, the best in London for sure! )
- ◈ 9:45pm -10pm Optional social with refreshing fruit to nourish you after the dance
