Cocoon Ecstatic Dance & Yasmin from Ecstatica @OMNOM Highbury & Islington

🌟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.

Cocoon theme for this dance: The Beauty Way is a path of sacred presence — a way of seeing the divine in all things. In this dance, we will walk (and move) in reverence, letting each step, each breath, each gesture be an act of grace. We will be reminded of the beauty in simplicity — the sacred in the everyday.

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

We are very excited to welcome Yasmin from Ecstatica who will be facilitating the dance.

Yasmin is the founder of Ecstatica and a passionate Ecstatic Dance facilitator whose journey has taken her across the globe. From living in intentional, land-connected communities in Colombia to training with world-class mentors like Dance the Medicine, she has gathered a rich tapestry of practices in movement, meditation, and energy. Her introduction to ecstatic dance was so powerful it left her high on joy - and it’s been a deeply healing and liberating force in her life ever since. Through Ecstatica, Yasmin creates spaces where others can fully let go, explore, and come home to themselves - reclaiming their voice, their body, and their innate freedom through dance.

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. 🌀
