Ecstatic Dance Experience with Cacao and Sound Bath Whitstable

Ecstatic dance is an opportunity to move, express, release, embody, energise, activate, return home to ourselves. To explore and meet different states of being in a sober environment. Supported by music and community, it connects us to the indigenous, tribal heart as we drop in and remember the magic of rhythmic sound and movement.

90 minutes of freestyle dancing to a large sound wave with a mixed genre music set. Featuring Live DJ with an amazing sound system. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided.

We will let the music, the community and our own inner space direct our steps, our movements, our expression, our journey.

You'll be led through gentle warm up before the dance begins with low tempo melodic, soulful and heartfelt tunes, gradually progressing into a full powered high tempo dance. We end with a slow flowing and fluid close.

Ecstatic Dance allows you to dive deeply into the heart and body, connecting and expressing, letting go and, importantly, having fun.
