Ecstatic Sound and Movement Journey with Cacao - Chakra Balance
Join Alison from Just BE Sound and Movement Therapy for this Ecstatic Dance Journey with the theme of 'Chakra Balance'. Well journey with the music through the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras. First timers are very welcome!
After an opening cacao ceremony to set intentions, we’ll begin our journey together with a little guidance to warm up. The invitation is to disconnect the mind and connect with the body freely, without self-judgement or fearing judgement from others. Movement is conscious, intuitive and spontaneous as you allow the vibrations of the sound to resonate in whichever way feels right for you.
This is an over 16’s, safe, respectfully alcohol and drug free environment. We move/dance barefoot or with grip socks. Photos/videos may be taken during the event.
Come and join our friendly, growing community!

Thank you.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:
'What an experience, mind blowing, loved every minute of it!'
‘That was the best experience of my life! To feel no judgement in a room full of people!’
'How does ecstatic dance feel? Like you are truly in your own world, letting your body take in and respond to wonderful music....to really FEEL the music and what that brings up in your body. '
'Alison incorporates a few questions and prompts which guide you to really be in the moment and let go further. As a newbie to this type of dance, I've tried it a handful of times and am completely hooked. I had never danced before and was very self-conscious at first, I'm overjoyed at how liberating and natural this feels and it is now one of my core activities for self -and soul nourishment!’
‘Your voice was incredible! Added another dimension to the journey. Such a beautiful experience.’

Cacao is a powerful plant medicine that contains iron, zinc, potassium, copper, and magnesium which contribute to cardiovascular health. It is said to have benefits for depression as it contains anandamide, the bliss molecule and has the ability to trigger the release of dopamine and endorphins and increase serotonin. Cacao also has powerful antioxidants and can balance blood sugar levels by increasing the blood flow to the brain. This helps with focus and awareness. Cacao also has spiritual and emotional benefits and can help us to connect with our higher self, tune in to our intuition and access transformational states.
