Ecstatic Dance in the Park With Cacao - Morning Magic

Set in the wonderful Lily Hill Park, I’ll be guiding you on a Sound and Movement Journey using Silent Disco headphones.

The invitation is to disconnect the mind and connect with the body freely, without self-judgement or fearing judgement from others. Movement is conscious, intuitive and spontaneous as you allow the vibrations of the sound to resonate in whichever way feels right for you.

This event is open to all ages, and takes place in a safe, respectfully alcohol and drug free environment. We move/dance barefoot. Photos/videos may be taken during the event.

Come and join our friendly, growing community!

Please note that by purchasing a ticket you agree that Just BE Sound and Movement Therapy is not liable for any injury or harm that you may incur at this event (dancing only exactly as YOU feel to) & you agree to take full responsibility of yourself, your health, your wellbeing and all of your belongings whilst at the session. Thank you.

Please take extra care with the headphones to ensure they don't get broken otherwise we will have to charge an additional £20 for any damage.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:

'What an experience, mind blowing, loved every minute of it!'

‘That was the best experience of my life! To feel no judgement in a room full of people!’

'How does ecstatic dance feel? Like you are truly in your own world, letting your body take in and respond to wonderful music....to really FEEL the music and what that brings up in your body. '

'Alison incorporates a few questions and prompts which guide you to really be in the moment and let go further. As a newbie to this type of dance, I've tried it a handful of times and am completely hooked. I had never danced before and was very self-conscious at first, I'm overjoyed at how liberating and natural this feels and it is now one of my core activities for self -and soul nourishment!’

‘Your voice was incredible! Added another dimension to the journey. Such a beautiful experience.’

CACAO: Contraindications: Ceremonial Cacao is not recommended for anyone in the first trimester of pregnancy, with a serious heart condition, epilepsy or taking antidepressants. If you would like to still attend and take a much lower dose, you can do so at your own risk. Our Cacao is First Grade Ceremonial Cacao from Guetamala. Tuttuquilal (meaning harmony) is a not-for-profit impact centre that acts as the heart of a holistic regeneration project including reforestation and an education centre. They collaborate with a group of local farmers to support and grow Cacao sustainably.

Cacao is a powerful plant medicine that contains iron, zinc, potassium, copper, and magnesium which contribute to cardiovascular health. It is said to have benefits for depression as it contains anandamide, the bliss molecule and has the ability to trigger the release of dopamine and endorphins and increase serotonin. Cacao also has powerful antioxidants and can balance blood sugar levels by increasing the blood flow to the brain. This helps with focus and awareness. Cacao also has spiritual and emotional benefits and can help us to connect with our higher self, tune in to our intuition and access transformational states.
