About this Event
DANCE - POWERFUL DANCE JOURNEYS.
Not so much a sober rave as a conscious dance journey. Techno?! Yes! But not only...
A shoes and socks-off opportunity to move as you feel through an intricate and varied soundscape of electronic music.
SOME WORDS FROM NATHAN:
To drop deep into dance is a gift. In this event we have two hours with nothing more to focus on than music, movement- and being present to what arises. Both internally, and in the room. We open up a space for this.
A dedicated focus to electronic music and club-level DJing can be hard to find in conscious dance spaces. Here we find the meeting ground between conscious dance and the more forward-thinking elements of the club.
We are invited into motion through the carefully-chosen and woven mix- and our own curiosity to sensation, emotion, and conscious awareness. Through the beats, tempos, rhythms and music styles we move with, we have an experience of Journey.
The transformative power of it comes through being present in stillness and movement. We start and end the Journey together, riding a shared wave of energy. Practising being with our experience, rather than escaping it.
We naturally create a sense of shared cohesion, rather than the sometimes-chaotic nature of a club. Dancing our dance, we might feel more nourished, complete, uplifted and centred by the end of it.
DEEPER PHILOSOPHY FOR THOSE WANTING TO READ MORE!...
Direct and alive alchemy through sound in dedicated present moment experience. Shifting and changing through moods, emotions, states, shapes... facilitated by the music, chosen to emphasise deep energetic principles encoded in the rhythm of life- our Life- and visible everywhere, yet often forgotten. This is a chance to remember- to come back home to what's real in you... and practise that... being who you are... in any given moment. Enjoying, uplifting, transcending, growing through stuck patterns to new ones.
The emphasis is on you- to access the dance as deeply and subtly as you want... or let it be more playful and light. Maybe we weave the two as one- reflecting the Oneness from which all dualities arise, exist in, and again... subside into. There is nothing that needs to happen. Waves go out, waves come in. Nowhere you need to go... just a willingness to participate and engage in what's there for you to move. This is a process of Light in movement; Consciousness... happening.
Is it a hippy free for all?! No! It is not just high and floaty in the sense of bypassing the shadow. Instead, the music selection encourages a range... inviting us into the experience of a whole spectrum within us. It's there anyway, right?! To meet ourselves in all forms- not just the pleasant party bits of us we might like to show. Yes, we might not always want to go there. That is fine. You might not 'like' all the music, either. OK! Sure, the event is there for you to enjoy and benefit from... but there is no depth in frivolity alone! Can you take the dark with the light? Can you stay with it until the sun rises again? That techno is relentless... but it will pass! The dredging up and chaos of the full-on beats subsides, transforms, shifts... and you will be brought to a space of clearing and integration... if you are willing to stay with the process. And there is much Beauty...
Even if I give you nothing more than the space to be with yourself- which is quite a lot these days- given the sheer amount of and proclivity towards distraction in our culture- it can be quite confronting at times... almost too challenging to go into. You set the pace. You move in your own way. And you are welcome to do that here- to go into your own embodied self-exploration, in the the context of a 2-hour event with start and close.
The music is not just any old playlist thrown together. Attention to detail shifts us through archetypal patterns. There will be some music that you like and some you don't. This is inevitable, due to the variation of sounds. And it is intended this way. While all music tastes are different (and of course, all people...) even if we may ride the same universal rhythms- some energies feel familiar and comfortable, and others don't. Maybe there is space to grow here. Or perhaps a boundary to set. Or a new quality to embrace. Equally, there are some movement patterns we might recognise as part of a familiar repertoire, and others that feel less known, tentative, even risky... like growing edges. Bring all your confidence and self-conscious doubt as well! We're human. This is the space. Here is the dance. Gently inviting you to go there. Let's do this! :-)
Well mixed, inspiring and varied music-
sensitively chosen for the power of the dance.
Tunes of a kind you may not have heard before-
all kinds of electronic dance music are possible-
and many genres of it are woven into the live DJ mix.
This night is for those who love dance music, dancing and clubbing,
but seek the liberation of total release and dance movement expression in fresh context.
It's for those of us who love dance music and dancing.
We ride the wave of energy together- with ourselves and each other,
in a concentrated 2-hour dance.
The format? The energy builds up, peaks, and comes back down.
We experience the range of possibility within the movement Journey.
Here, you have the space to be as you are- as you want and need to be.
Whatever the music's doing, you go at your own pace.
Full-on movement flow, without the need to hold back-
and yet without any expectation to push forward, either.
You can dance from start to finish, or simply lay on the floor,
appreciating inner states of being as the rhythms ride out!
There's no set prescription of how to be-
only respectful of ourselves and each other in the space.
For many, it's a deeper dance experience.
Stillness, movement, and the moment.
Beats to facilitate your exploration in space.
Be prepared to dance!
