🌟Welcome to Cocoon Ecstatic Dance 🌟

Cocoon journey:

• We'll begin with a heart-opening cacao ceremony - inviting us to arrive, connect and set an intention.
• From there, our Morpho will guide us in some warm-up excercises to bring us into our body before taking us on an ecstatic dance journey.
• At the end of our dance, Olivia will guide us into a deeply restorative sound journey to support integration and grounding.
• After the dance we'll have a closing circle and then gather together for some tea and fruit, creating space to connect with fellow dancers.

What is Ecstatic Dance?

Ecstatic dance is a free form dance/movement practice in which you are invited to feel into your body and express any emotions that are present through movement. The music takes you on a journey, starting off slowly, gradually building the energy to a peak and then bringin you back down for an integration. There are no moves or ways to dance in ecstatic dance, you are free to express yourselves however you'd like. You can dance on your own or with other dancers, however you feel.

3 Simple Principles

1. We Dance without shoes: This allows us to connect more fully with the ground.

2. We Dance without words: This makes it easier to be in a meditative state, be in your body and let go of the mind.

3. We Dance as we are: Drugs/alcohol free, phone/camera/video free, just be yourself; with respect for ourselves, the space, and one another.

Please note that by purchasing a ticket you agree to take full responsibility of yourself, your health, your well-being and all of your belongings whilst at the dance and that Cocoon is not liable for any injury or harm that you may incur at this event.

Pregnancy Guidance for Sound Bath
If you are pregnant, you are warmly welcome to attend Cocoon sessions once you are in your second or third trimester. Our sound baths are gentle and relaxing, with no heavy or intense gong work. Please let us know in advance if you are pregnant so we can best support you. If you are in your first trimester, we kindly ask that you wait before attending. As always, please consult your midwife or doctor if you have any specific concerns.

Cocoon is lovingly co-founded by Morpho and Olivia, who share a love of dance, sacred spaces, transformation and creating community. We believe in the power of music and dance to reconnect us to ourselves, to each other, and to something greater.

Our vision is to create a sacred space where you can be your most authentic self, to dance however you want, to explore what’s alive within you, to feel deeply, and to let go of what no longer serves. Through this embodied journey, letting the music be your guide, transformation naturally unfolds.
