Return to your body: Somatic Ecstatic Dance for Women
Friday 31st of July 2026 | 6.30-8.30pm | Soul Wellness Hub
--------------------------------------------------------------
Come shake up the dust, release stress and return to your body.
We invite you into this guided journey of liberation, embodiment and playfulness through somatic warm up practices and Ecstatic Dance.
This is a journey home to the wisdom of your body.
An evening of dancing, expression, expansion and coming home to your body! We weave an evening of guided embodied warm up, somatic exploration, Ecstatic Dance and a deep relaxation practice at the end so that you may experience unity of mind, body and spirit, coming home to yourself.

What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic Dance is a freeform meditative movement practice that invites us to express ourselves through uninhibited, spontaneous movement. Unlike structured dance forms, there are no set steps or choreography in ecstatic dance, so you don't need to know how to dance! We move to the rhythm of the music in a way that feels natural and authentic to each of us in our own unique ways, following what feels good, rather than what looks good. It's a space free from judgement, where the body becomes the canvas for self-expression, and every movement tells a unique story of who we are.

✨The Benefits of Ecstatic Dance:
🌀It creates spaciousness, FLUIDITY, FLEXIBILITY and awareness of our physical bodies.
🌀It provides a safe space to explore and express emotions, for EMOTIONAL FREEDOM and healing.
🌀It drops us into PRESENT MOMENT AWARENESS, promoting mental clarity, reducing stress, and fostering a sense of inner peace.
🌀It fosters COMMUNITY CONNECTION. The collective energy created during these gatherings is palpable, creating a sense of belonging and unity with one another.
🌀It enhances CREATIVE INSPIRATION, unlocking the hidden depths of self-expression.
🌀 Build a better relationship with your body, dissolving shame and deepening into self-love and compassion

✨What To Expect?
🌀A container free of judgement, a space where all of you is welcome, accepted and celebrated!
