Ecstatic Dance Devon
I currently offer Ecstatic dance and my approach is informed by a Soul Motion practice and training. It is a community based, free-form dance practice to reconnect to yourself and your body. It’s an active form of meditation which is also a wellness practice.
You are welcome as you are, however you feel and whatever you bring.
Sessions start with a short seated or lying meditation or visualisation. We start slow and build up energy before warming down and softening towards the end of the evening, all within a safe container. The music can be anything from world music to jazz, to classical. There are no steps or choreography, there is no wrong move, you are free to dance your dance – this is space to listen deeply to your body, allowing yourself to be moved from within; space to listen to your inner landscape and express this and rest when you need to. No level of fitness experience necessary, just an openness to listen to your body. There are a few simple guidelines to follow: no talking, no shoes, no mobile phones and no intoxicants. At the end, space is held for a sharing circle.
It is a very liberating joyous experience and therapeutic for the mind body and soul – dance is a medicine!
