July Being Together - Five Rhythms Ecstatic Dance Weekend

Come dance with us at the Being Together - Five Rhythms Ecstatic Dance Weekend Camp!

Five Rhythms Ecstatic Dance Weekend Camps 2026with Tim BroughtonNear Saxmundham, Suffolk

May 22nd-25th, July 17th-19th, September 11th-13th, October 9th-11th

Imagine the world as we have created and known it is falling apart, and when we look around and breathe, we realise the Earth continues to be very much alive and under our feet. The Air is still here and we continue to breathe with the Sky above us. The Sun and the Rain are still here, Day continues to follow Night. Life goes on! In this Spirit you are invited to travel light and gather on this Beautiful Earth for a few days and let Nature and Spirit guide us, into the simplicity of Being......Totally…...Moment to Moment…...Alone and Together…...Alive and in Life.

This weekend camp offers a creative and safe space for deep personal exploration as a process of healing our wounds and opening into our creativity, as well as more loving responses to living our lives.

We will meet together in a circle as well as dancing the Five Rhythms. We will huddle together, speak from our hearts, cry to the winds, laugh, dance, sing, and cook; being together as simply as we can, as real as we can. Life will provide for our needs, not necessarily what we want, or even what we think we need! Life always provides!

There is a maximum of sixteen participants at each camp. I aim for a 50:50 balance of men and women.

All participants must be over the age of 18 years. If the camp is full, we will hold a waiting list as sometimes people have to withdraw for unexpected circumstances. If you would like to be added to this list or enquire about other camps/workshops, please email info@opentolife.co.uk or call Tim on 07768 342328.

We'll be camping and cooking communally around open fires on this beautiful four acre meadow near Saxmundham. This is a particularly beautiful part of the Suffolk countryside and is just 4 miles from Saxmundham railway station.

Facilities include – a large heated bell tent to meet and dance in, meadows to be and play in, shower, toilets, water taps and other structures.
