The open skies above, the bountiful trees surrounding the periphery, the grass and earth beneath my feet. There was a moment when I wanted to have a little cry, because of the abundance of beauty... And then there were those moments when I was completely lost in the music... Thank YOU. ♥ " "It was amazing!! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon with amazing tunes in a splendid environment!! Thank you everyone for your lovely presence and jubilant energy!!" " Thank you! it was amazing to dance in the nature and connect with so many wonderful people! " <h3>ABOUT DJ AND FACILITATOR:</h3>◈ Sessions are facilitated and DJed by Seth Newman, Seth is the pioneer of Ecstatic Dance in the UK, who started Ecstatic Dance classes with his band Urubu &amp; Ecstatic Dance London in 2009 and has been running conscious dance as well as various body-mind integration classes and workshops for many years.◈ His inspiration for these classes come from many sources including Humanistic &amp; Body Psychotherapy, the Human Potential Movement, 5 Rhythms, Active meditations and from the teachings of the Indian Mystic Osho whom he grew up with in India in the 1970s. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces.

<h2>ABOUT ECSTATIC DANCE:</h2>Enter an open space...and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move, play, connect, sweat, stretch, sound, unwind, renew, release, improvise, transform. Be true to yourself, while respecting your body, in this space that we co-create together.Our dance classes create a safe and respectful environment that embraces 'all ways'. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music.Our intention for these dance classes is self-exploration, developing feel-good endorphins, and generally improving our community's mental and physical wellbeing! While also being mindful of physical distancing and keeping everyone as safe as possible!No experience necessary.<h2>ECSTATIC DANCE PRACTICE SPECIFICS:</h2>Warm-up: 15 minutes stretch, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave.The Practice: 60 minutes of freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set with our resident DJ Seth Newman. Some guidance &amp; facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music, the community and our own inner space direct our steps, our movements, our expression, our journey.Relaxation: 15 minutes of Deep Relaxation (weather dependant)"Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad, right or wrong. However, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy, without denying our anger or sadness?  Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way." ~ Abigail Harris<h2>ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:</h2>1. No talking during the dance.2. Drug-Free, Smoke-Free, Alcohol-Free environment.3.
