For us, dance has always been more than just movement, it is meditation, a way to tap into something far greater than our individual selves. Across cultures and generations, time & space, people have danced to heal, to connect, and to remember who they truly are. **PRANA MYSTIC is an invitation to move, release, and open up...** to let go of city stress, to dance in lightness and joy, and to share the experience with a beautiful community. Our journey will be guided by a powerful, uplifting, and heart-expanding WORLD MUSIC set — weaving together mystical, euphoric, and transformative sounds to awaken your creativity and deepen your connection with your dance and your heart. 🌿 To support this journey, we’ll also share ceremonial-grade cacao in a guided Cacao Ceremony & Chakra Journey with Seth, a grounding practice that opens the heart, nurtures the body, and aligns our energy centres with positivity before we dance. Come as you are. Dance barefoot. Leave recharged, uplifted, and inspired. 🌟 No prior experience of ecstatic dance is necessary. All are welcome. **WHY CACAO?** At Ecstatic Dance London, we adore raw ceremonial cacao. It’s a natural heart-opener and gentle energiser that supports emotional flow, creativity, and embodied presence on the dancefloor. Your complimentary raw vegan cacao is lovingly prepared using ethically sourced, high-quality cacao from Guatemala. Free from gluten, dairy, nuts, and refined sugar, velvety, nourishing, and deeply delicious. Cacao + Ecstatic Dance is a potent combination for transformation, connection, and joyful expression. **ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES** • No alcohol, no drugs • No shoes • No phones on the dancefloor • No talking while dancing • Move however you wish • Respect yourself, others, and the shared space This is a zero-tolerance sober space.

**You are invited to join a deep healing group process that extends beyond us as individuals into the wider 'field' of historical/ancestral influences, where our family's past traumas are seen, acknowledged, and attended to, so that they do not limit our well-being today.** In these **short videos, our facilitator Illi Adato** explains the key aspects of the Systemic and Family Constellation approach to therapy and healing: [https://www.facebook.com/LondonFamilyConstellations/videos](https://www.facebook.com/LondonFamilyConstellations/videos) We shall meet at The Kailash Centre in St. Johns Wood, London NW8 for this month's group session, **open to all**.

This workshop provides a perfect opportunity to experience the deep and insightful Systemic Constellations process. A unique and powerful therapeutic method for self-exploration, understanding core behaviors, removing blocks, and reintroducing movement and growth. It is used as a major resource in working through trauma and it can assist in depression treatment. To read comments from participants in previous workshops click this link [https://bit.ly/33Asprs](https://bit.ly/33Asprs) **WHAT ARE SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATIONS?** The Systemic Constellations method is a unique therapeutic process of exploration of the forces that move us in life. Such forces often appear as difficulties or a sense of being 'stuck' in life, affecting our behavior, relationships, career, health/wellbeing, or even financial circumstances. This method provides a three-dimensional ‘map’ of one’s life as it is at present. It is a simple yet powerful way to explore entanglements and blockages in our personal life and in our family history. The method brings awareness and clarity into personal challenges by focusing the client on the root cause of such difficulties. Constellations provide an opening for a positive life shift and present ways for deep healing processes to occur. **WHAT HAPPENS IN A CONSTELLATION SESSION?** In Constellations work the ‘client’ is referred to as the ‘Issue Holder’. The method uses workshop participants as ‘Representatives’ to stand in for key people in the client’s life such as family members, colleagues, partners, ex-partners etc., sometimes ‘abstract’ concepts such as an emotion, country of origin, religion, or destiny are also represented. All participants are invited to take part as Representatives. Workshop participants often report (see reviews: [https://bit.ly/33Asprs](https://bit.ly/33Asprs)) experiencing profound insights into their own lives by simply witnessing the process, regardless of how they choose to take part. **WHY DOES THIS WORK?** Scientific research shows that the experiences of your ancestors can determine your behavior today and affect future generations.\*\* Recent scientific research into DNA reveals that a component named epigenetics is embedding the effect of a traumatic experience by altering the genetic structure. It means that some of our behavior patterns can be attributed to traumatic events in your family history. This notion has always been one of the guiding principles of Systemic / Constellations Therapy, a form of work that is dedicated to exposing and dealing with issues emerging from our family system. Our group provides a **safe space** where deep personal work is done and where maintaining confidentiality and respect for each other's privacy is paramount. **\*\* DNA research paper and news article links:** Discover - Grandma's Experiences Leave a Mark on Your Genes [https://bit.ly/3dLwEkK](https://bit.ly/3dLwEkK) BBC News - "Memories" pass between generations [http://bbc.in/1dNShPe](http://bbc.in/1dNShPe) **Facilitated by Illi Adato** MA Lon\.
