Ecstatic Awakening Dance™ [IN-PERSON - Alyth]

The first in a series of Ecstatic Awakening Dance™ sessions, "Beginnings: Of Bones and Body" is rooted in the aural-traditions of story telling, communal space, and transformative movement. During the nights of enveloping Winter, in the season of dream-seeds, decay and stars, this series of stand-alone sessions has the power to awaken the soul and stir the imagination .

What's EAD all about?

Ecstatic Awakening Dance is joyous, freeing movement - there's no right or wrong way to move because the movement isn't controled by the over-thinking dictatorship of your mind. It comes from breath, rhythm and the instintive expression of your body.

EAD is a method of movement without words, mainly done with the eyes gently closed as you are guided through its 5 phases and given space to explore and transform:

1. Body Warm-up
2. - The Shake -
3. - Joyous Free Movement/ Ecstatioc Dance -
4. Stillness
5. - Grounding -

Our session also includes:

• An Opening ceremony, to create a shared space and experience with each other
• A Tale from the Elders
• A Sharing circle with closing ceremony, to signify the end of the experience shared
• Light refreshments to ground us before heading home
