Motion Potion ✧ Cacao ✧ Ecstatic Dance ✧ Sound Journey ✧

☾ WELCOME

We welcome all of you to The Shanti Space for an afternoon of ceremony & celebration. With great care we invite you for an afternoon of Embodied feeling, with the spirit of Cacao accompanied by the epic Rhythmic Beats from Jack Weaver and live music, grounding with a sound journey to close (https://soundcloud.com/user-376346168/shanti-space-new-moon-ecstatic-dance-18-03-21)

Join us in this magical forest location.

Everything communicates, our bodies are transmitting frequencies through our postures, our expressions, our movements and thoughts conscious or unconscious. So the invitation is to come into your heart space, to attune to your heart's intent & let that guide your dance, aligning your vibration with possibilities ✨

We move without judgement, embody our intentions, prayers and truth as we flow together in the alchemy of music in the lap of Nature.

☾ CACAO

Cacao, or what modern man might call, raw chocolate, was revered by the ancient civilisations of South and Central America and used as a health elixir, medicine and aphrodisiac. Nicknamed 'Heart blood' by the Aztecs, it was believed to have a powerful heart healing capacity, signifying life and fertility.

Today, now labeled as a superfood, science has shown Cacao to have highly nutritious properties, countless vitamins and minerals such as magnesium (important for healthy blood pressure and heart function), a huge amount anti-oxidants (20x more than blueberries!) and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies show Cacao to benefit the heart and cardiovascular system as a whole and how it activates neurotransmitters in the brain that bring about the feelings of bliss, love, pleasure and motivation.

☾ ECSTATIC DANCE

Ecstatic Dance floor is a space of non-judgement, where you can be any version of your-self – so why not allow yourself to be the truest version of you!? Move experimentally. Move to mirror your internal state. Move to make a statement. Move for the sake of it. Move to play. Move to harmonize…or maybe don’t more. There are no rules. There is no right or wrong. There is only you, the space, the music and the vibration.

Guidelines for the dance floor

- No talking (honouring everyone with their individual experience)

- Barefoot dancing (connecting with earth and the vibration of the low frequencies of music)

- No phones or photography (fosters present moment awareness + supports others in not feeling watched)

- No substance (important to make this a most lucid human experience)
