🌟Welcome to Cocoon Ecstatic Dance 🌟

Cocoon is lovingly co-founded by Morpho and Olivia, who share a love of dance, sacred spaces, transformation and creating community. We believe in the power of music and dance to reconnect us to ourselves, to each other, and to something greater.

Our vision is to create a sacred space where you can be your most authentic self, to dance however you want, to explore what’s alive within you, to feel deeply, and to let go of what no longer serves. Through this embodied journey, letting the music be your guide, transformation naturally unfolds.

Come as you are — to step into the Cocoon, where music becomes your guide and movement becomes your medicine.

Warm-up by guest Dance the Medicine facilitator, and Artist, Neha, from NeHArt.

As the wheel of the year turns, we arrive at the Autumn Equinox—a time of balance, harvest, and transition. The day and night stand equal, inviting us to reflect on our own lives: what is ready to be gathered in with gratitude, and what is ready to be released back to the earth.

Join us for an ecstatic dance journey honouring this seasonal shift. Through rhythm and movement, we will embody the balance of light and dark, fullness and emptiness, expansion and release. Together we’ll give thanks for the gifts of summer and prepare to step into autumn’s quiet wisdom.

Please bring for the communal altar & sound bath: We will create a communal altar together so please bring natural autumnal items like pine cones / conkers / leaves etc.

For the sound bath please bring a yoga mat and blanket - whatever you need to be comfortable and relax.

What is Ecstatic Dance?

Ecstatic dance is a free form dance/movement practice in which you are invited to feel into your body and express any emotions that are present through movement. The music takes you on a journey, starting off slowly, gradually building the energy to a peak and then bringin you back down for an integration. There are no moves or ways to dance in ecstatic dance, you are free to express yourselves however you'd like. You can dance on your own or with other dancers, however you feel.

🌸 3 Simple Principles 🌸

1. We Dance without shoes: This allows us to connect more fully with the ground.

2. We Dance without words: This makes it easier to be in a meditative state, be in your body and let go of the mind.

3. We Dance as we are: Drugs/alcohol free, phone/camera/video free, just be yourself; with respect for ourselves, the space, and one another.

🌀Please note that by purchasing a ticket you agree to take full responsibility of yourself, your health, your well-being and all of your belongings whilst at the dance and that Cocoon is not liable for any injury or harm that you may incur at this event. 🌀
