States of ecstasy have been reached through dance by many endogenous and ancestral tribes at gatherings all over the world, for as long as humans have got together.  Birthdays, weddings, funerals, rites of passage have been celebrated with dance and often the dance has taken on a spiritual dimension. Often the only place we get to dance these days is at one such event or late at night in a club.

​

On these Ecstatic Saturdays we will dance for the pure joy of moving in whatever way we feel.  I will mix music that will move us through the 5Rhythms ( I am a 5rhythms Teacher) staying embodied and conscious as best we can within the group. This is a journey, and I ask participants to stay to the end, resting when they need to. There is no alcohol, no drugs, no cacao, no need for anything more than the dance. (bring lots of water to drink)

​

Gabrielle Roth, who brought 5Rhythms to the world in the 80s, was a great advocate of ecstatic dance. Gabrielle integrated a wide range of influences, including shamanism, ecstatic and mystical traditions, Eastern philosophy, and transpersonal psychology, to create the philosophy and maps that underpin the 5Rhythms practice. As a 5Rhythms teacher/spaceholder, I have years of experience in holding a space that has structure and safety. The music is eclectic with an occasional bent to 90s rave which is where I found my dance in my 20s - I found freedom dancing until dawn in the open roofed clubs Ibiza,  then in the massive warehouse raves in London in the 90s.  30 years teaching yoga brings my knowledge of breathwork, 30 years of offering shiatsu means I can read bodies and understand the mind/body relationshipo.   The 5Rhythms teacher training gave me in-depth knowledge of body psychology and how to help people move freely, moving form the inside out in a way that feels authentic and real.

 

Great teachers in my life (one being my dog Honey) have taught me how to stay present and how to open the doors to freedom through heart presence.
