<h3>FACILITATOR</h3>Seth Newman - <a href="https://urubu.com/" title="https://urubu.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">URUBU.COM</a>: ''My purpose is to facilitate rituals that empower “the whole human being” through dance and music. Like Bioenergetics and other somatic processes, for me, Trance Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation. I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express, feel and find ourselves, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.'' - Seth Newman URUBU has since evolved into a School of Transformational Arts - offering a variety of powerful holistic body-mind tools and practices.

<h3>MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:</h3><h3>⋘ ─ ∗ DANCING WITH TREES ∗ ─ ⋙</h3>2:30pm-4:30pm (no entry after 2:45pm)"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair" Kahlil GibranThis workshop is inspired by my two loves, Nature &amp; Dance.About Dancing with TreesOften, we have an experience of Nature of being "out there", outside of us. And in our busy lives, we don’t make time for a deeper connection.This outdoor workshop is an opportunity to slow down... and dive into Nature, to dive into Her.We will be utilising Bioenergetic Alchemy techniques to open the body up so that we can feel the sensitivity of Nature, of the Sky, the Trees, our Breath, our Being...Bioenergetic Alchemy is powerful work and extremely effective for releasing stress and tension, helping us to ground, and bringing us more into the present moment.This workshop is a synthesis of Bioenergetics, Chi Gong, Eco-therapy, Shamanism and Tantra. It is inspired by a 3-day Vision Quest I was on in Wales in 2013 through the Humanistic Alchemy training.
