Lets get Loopy - Khavita

@khavitamusic

A live improvised dance loop set with DJ Gumbo using my voice — layering sounds, building rhythm and texture in real time. A space to move to repetitive loops.

DJ Gumbo will then take over with a 30-minute higher energy set, with my vocals still running through it. The music is made to feel like you’re melting.


DJ Gumbo

@directorgumbs

DJ Gumbo’s love of music is inspired by his African ancestry, his Caribbean roots and growing up amongst the melting pot of cultures that are represented in London.

Expect to be taken on a musical journey of soul-stirring waves, where your heart will be moved as well as your feet. Get ready for a rejuvenating experience on the Luminous dancefloor.


Clay Craft - Grace

@gracebasak_art

Clay Craft will explore the art of pinch pots in the heart of nature. Surrounded by earthy elements, you’ll get your hands deep into raw clay, shaping simple, beautiful vessels using ancient hand-building techniques. This is a relaxed, sensory experience—perfect for slowing down, connecting with the earth, and unleashing your creativity in a natural setting.


Mandala drawing - Katie

@katiejoannabefree

Join Katie for a journey into the mesmerising ancient art of drawing mandalas.

You will learn the origins and beginners techniques to design and structure your own unique mandala.

We will provide all the materials and cosy vibes for you to sink into this peaceful practice and welcome in the summer solstice


Tuning Forks - George

Liberating Sounds - Kaia

@liberating.sounds

Summer Solstice Gong Bath:

Let the powerful vibrations of the gongs guide you into deep relaxation and renewal as you align with the expansive energy of the Summer Solstice. This is a chance to reset, release, and reconnect with the rhythm of the earth, sun, and self.

Voicing the Heart:

Express through toning, chanting, and community connection. Exploring sound as a tool for kindness, reflection, and authentic self-expression. Using vocal practices and percussion in a supportive space, discover how your voice can become a bridge to deeper presence, joy, and compassion.


Reiki & Sound Therapist - Maia

@maiatrueliving

Maia offers two deeply restorative healing sessions designed to nurture self-love, balance, and inner harmony.

Crystal Sound Healing - you’ll be guided through a heart-centered meditation and immersed in the soothing vibrations of crystal sound bowls to release self-judgment and cultivate compassion.

Vibrations of Healing - combines meditation, Reiki, and chakra-tuning forks to calm the nervous system, clear energetic blockages, and restore emotional and spiritual alignment.

Both sessions invite you to relax, receive, and reconnect with your inner peace.


Colas Cures - Tasha

www.colascures.co.uk

Frequently asked questions

What is a conscious dance?

This is a drug and alcohol free space, have fun without the hangover!

Organized by

This is a co-collaboration with YOU!

Luminous Ent are bringing a community of dancers together who co-curate the space during each event we host. Inspired by conscious dance practices, we facilitate an open format DJ set with the intention of connecting and flowing with the energy in the room. Each event will be different, as those in attendance will shape the experience with what they bring to the dance.

From the moment you arrive at an event you will be immersed in music; background music gently welcomes you into the space for the 1st 30mins as you greet fellow dancers, stretch and warm-up. This is followed by a 2 hour dance to an improvised DJ set which starts on mellow tempos, but then builds and feeds off the dynamic in the room. A 30min period is left at the end for cooling down, unwinding and socialising. There will be interactive elements throughout the space which encourage creativity in different forms such as drawing, use of percussive instruments and singing.

Being held on the last Saturday of every month, our fun, heart-centred experience is an expressive outlet for whatever you have been harnessing that month, to leave you feeling rejuvenated for the new month approaching. We are creating an open forum for the community to input on each month’s event; sharing music that you would love to dance to (either composed by others or by yourself), original artwork to decorate the space, or what’s energetically motivating you to want to dance that month.
