Join Rebel Heart, Thursday 21 August, for a drum and bass ecstatic dance journey!
In this sacred temple of music and movement, embark on a soulful journey that embraces every part of your being. Begin by grounding deeply into the moment with soothing practices designed to calm and balance the nervous system, preparing you to fully open to the dance ahead. Guided by the alchemical sounds of Rebel Heart, the journey unfolds, weaving together melodic, lyrical, and emotive bass-filled rhythms that carry you through the vast landscape of the human experience—from joy and surrender to raw release and pure connection.
As you move, feel the energies shift and awaken within, celebrating every facet of yourself in the freedom of dance. Complete this transformative experience by receiving the ethereal vibrations of crystal singing bowls, a celestial sound bath that brings a gentle, harmonious closing. Here, in this timeless space, the dance becomes a ritual, a celebration, and an invitation to return to yourself, grounded, and renewed.

REBEL HEART | DJ
Let the deep, resonant bass be your guide with REBEL HEART, an ecstatic dance DJ who speaks through the language of emotive and melodic drum and bass. Her captivating sets, filled with rich bass undertones, have recently graced the soundscapes of numerous Summer wellness festivals. She continues to infuse her performances with intention, intuitively weaving lyric as a key to unlocking energy and inner landscapes. Kelly's artistry extends beyond the decks as a devoted Cacao Facilitator, Yin Yoga Facilitator, and ceremonialist, weaving poetic ritual into deeply nourishing experiences. She is committed to nurturing empowering and inclusive spaces that honor the sacred elemental and cyclical energies of nature to foster self-connection, groundedness, and personal growth.

ECSTATIC DANCE
Ecstatic dance is a free-form movement practice that encourages self-expression and connection through music. Key guidelines include no talking, no phones, and dancing barefoot, all to promote presence and connection with oneself and others. Respecting personal space and boundaries is also crucial, including obtaining consent before dancing with others.
Please do:
-Be Present: Embrace the music and movement, allowing yourself to fully experience the moment.
-Move Freely: Dance without judgment or predefined steps, exploring your body's natural movements.
-Communicate Nonverbally: Use body language and gestures to interact with others, if desired.
-Respect Boundaries: Seek verbal or nonverbal consent before initiating physical contact or partnering.
-Be Mindful of Others: Maintain a respectful awareness of your surroundings and fellow dancers.
- Dance Barefoot: This is a common practice to enhance connection with the floor and ground energy.
-Express Yourself: Allow your emotions and energy to flow through your body.
Please don’t:
-Talk: Ecstatic dance is a space for nonverbal communication.
-Use Phones or Cameras: Minimize distractions and focus on the present moment.
-Consume Substances: Ecstatic dance is a sober practice.
-Judge Yourself or Others: Embrace freedom of expression without self-criticism.
-Assume Permission for Contact: Always seek consent before dancing with another person.
