Imagine this…

… you arrive at a beautiful spot in nature to a warm and welcoming group of people sitting around a fire. You take a moment to breathe and land, reflecting inwardly and outwardly, letting yourself arrive in the circle. All of you are welcome here.

Via either a sound system or wearing a wireless headset, a live DJ’d set and vocal facilitation guide you on a journey into your body, here amongst the elements. You’re encouraged to bring your attention again and again to the awareness of your body, changing the habit of ‘thinking’ about how you look or what your next move is to a more embodied and connected experience of yourself and your surroundings.

You can choose to dance alone or with others, it’s completely up to you, but either way you are guided to let go into your body, allowing it to move through shapes, gestures, movements and rhythms that DO NOT have to be perfect! There is no right or wrong way to do this.

You might find ecstasy within, you might find physical or emotional contractions to be released, you might experience a sense of union with the earth beneath your feet and the wild beings dancing in their own way all around you… This is a liminal space, outside the structures of normal, in which magic and transformation can happen.

And after having journeyed through this elemental space, you are guided to the ground and gather around the fire again, perhaps now in a quieter meditative mind. Here there is time to acknowledge how you’re feeling and share something of your experience with the group. Coming together in this way brings a sense of completion before heading home.
