What is Ecstatic Dance Festival UK all about?
✨ Ecstatic dance at it's heart... Essentially, Ecstatic Dance Festival UK is a transformational journey of freedom, expression, presence, and embodied connection.
🥁 Live music, master musicians, drumming and percussion! We're including some outstanding Afro-Brazilian musicians in the lineup, creating a wild, tribal, high-energy dancefloor unlike any other Ecstatic Dance you've been to!
🍫🕯️ Cacao ceremonies and ritual space... to help you land in your body, soften, open, and set your heart-felt intentions.
🌿 A powerful sober, natural-high environment... no alcohol, no drugs, just music, movement, breath, connection, and real aliveness.
🍲🫖 An all-inclusive experience! with meals, teas, and key communal elements included, so you can fully arrive and immerse yourself.
We've designed the festival around shared community meals, and we see this as a core part of the festival rooted in connection, belonging, and community.
🚫🛍️ No marketplace culture: no constant selling or upsells, our festival is a conscious choice to value people over products! You're not a consumer, you're a co-creator!
🏕️ This is a small, grassroots, intimate festival... warm, personal, human, and real. It's led by people who love dance and music. not a big corporation!
🤝✨ Community-led and co-created... you are not just attending, you help shape the field-energy through your presence and participation.
🌀 A shared journey: more than a line-up of workshops, a collective experience unfolding together.
🌳☀️ Nature and beautiful surroundings... space to breathe, reset, connect with the land, and remember what matters.
💛 Transformational workshops and practices... movement, breathwork, ritual, connection, healing, and creative exploration.
🔥🧖 Sauna and restorative spaces - to rest, integrate, and nourish yourself.
🫶 A strong sense of tribe and belonging - where strangers become friends and community grows through shared experience.
❤️🔥 Heart, soul, and depth... not just entertainment, but a space for connection, authenticity, healing, joy, and real human meeting.
