Animal Trance
About this Event
Animal Trance: A Ritual Dance Experience in Edinburgh
A new immersive dance experience by PsycheNautics.
This is a guided 60-minute journey where we explore movement beyond thinking — stepping out of our usual identities and into something more instinctive, playful, and free.
Together, we’ll work with the energy of 7 Scottish animals, each representing a different wild spirit.
You’ll be randomly given an animal mask and invited to embody that energy through movement.
No choreography. No performance.
Just a structured, safe space to let the body lead and explore your instinctive side.
The experience unfolds in three phases:
- Awakening
Slow, atmospheric, grounding into the body, gently guided throughout. - Build & Trance
The rhythm rises, movement becomes more instinctive, and a playful game element begins. - Release & Return
A peak of energy followed by a gradual, grounding descent.
It’s part ritual, part game, and part dance floor — designed to be accessible and welcoming, even if you’ve never done anything like this before. No dance experience needed
You can go at your own pace
Fully guided throughout

What people have said:
“Practices like this provide a fantastic root system for expression… an accepting yet structured approach that is ideal for ritual conduction.”
If you feel even a little curious… that’s usually the sign
PS: This isn’t a furry event, and no alcohol is involved — just movement, music, and ritualistic spiritual exploration.
No refunds! Think about it before purchase, but if you can't attend, you can use the ticket for a future gathering free of any extra charge; it just transfers.
