WHAT'S ECSTATIC DANCE & SOUND HEALING?
In essence, this workshop offering combines Ecstatic movement and Sound healing to bring participants into a journey through their body and mind.
Ecstatic dance is a free movement dance created by the Greeks to connect the human body with the Divine Spirit. Allowing the body to move in an organic way with no expectations, judgements or structure, creating a healing journey. The music follows a wave form, starting slow, moving to a peak, and descending into stillness.
It is a moving meditation with the goal to still the mind while moving the body. Like in yoga postures, when the individual put the entire focus and attention into moving the body the thoughts just naturally drift away. In ancient Latin American communities the music played by the shamans was used actively to support and connect the soul of the participants with the spirit world.
Sound healing has been used by ancient civilisations since the beginning of time. This primordial teaching is based on the premise that all living matter vibrates at specific frequencies and that external sounds significantly change the vibration of different objects - such as our body.
The sounds of nature alone instantly provides you a sense of immediate connection, creating an opportunity to release shields and masks we wear in our everyday life. In this state of deep meditation, participants will be able to access parts of the self that have been hidden, and give awareness and love to a part of the self you haven’t explored yet.
Connect to the source of everything and to yourself, through the guidance of the drums, instruments and your heartbeat. Through sound healing, it’s an opportunity to discover the hidden power that exists inside us.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND THIS EVENT?
This is a safe space for everyone to connect with themselves and let go from judgments and stereotypes from themselves and others. Not everyone has access to spaces of vulnerability and connection
During this event, participants will have the opportunity to dive into a deep journey into their bodies and consciousness. Being able to move it freely to release energy and then to be guided in a deep sound meditation, followed by the use of shamanic instruments to bring the participant to a pure state of presence and relaxation.
