ECSTATIC DANCE w/ DJ OSARA

Ecstatic Dance is free-form dance - a movement meditation which brings awareness of mind, body, heart and soul through dance, movement and expression. Ecstatic Dance is a safe, held and sacred space for you to dance, move, release, express, connect with yourself and others, relax, let go and unwind. It can be fun, deep, uplifting, ecstatic, liberating and so much more. It takes place over a 2 hour live DJ set. The DJ takes you on a dance journey through different energies, genres and tempos.

DJ OSARA is an international Ecstatic Dance DJ and the founder of Ecstatic Dance Bristol. He's been a conscious dance DJ since 2017 and has roots in underground dance music, African drumming and sacred sound. He deeply loves DJ'ing his favourite, latest sounds and bringing people together in such a deep, fun and uplifting way. With such an eclectic taste in music every DJ set he plays is totally unique.

SOUND BATH w/ Pang Orchestra

We finish with a sublime sound bath to ground and land after the Ecstatic Dance. We're super excited to have Chris Baron and company of Pang Orchestra sharing their sacred and healing sounds of Hang, Gubal, Urga and other instruments developed by the original makers of @Hang. Pang Orchestra is a social sound sculpture - a new development of the original Hang and the musical heritage of PANArt Hang.

CAFÉ w/ Enlightened Earth (Hempen) We're delighted to have Rowan and Stefan, the brothers behind Hempen, serving awesome treats at the end providing a space for people to chill, chat and socialise after the dance. All their products are super high quality and 100% organic: CBD chocolate, hemp tea, CBD hot chocolate, flapjacks and more (prices available on the day).

FURTHER INFO ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES

Ecstatic Dance has been created as a safe, contained and sacred space for dance, movement and expression. We kindly ask all participants to follow these guidelines:

- the dance floor is a non-verbal space
- the dance floor is a phone free space
- this is a drug and alcohol free event
- the dance floor is a place of respect and safety. Maintain care/awareness for the space and those around you. Ecstatic Dance is contact-friendly but keep in mind that we all have different levels of comfort when it comes to being approached and touched.
- Ecstatic Dance is a barefoot practice. If you need to wear shoes due to health reasons, dance-specific shoes are allowed, but only shoes that have not been worn outside

WHAT TO BRING

- loose-fitting clothes that let you move your body and free yourself
- water and a water bottle
- a good attitude and open heart
