Free Flow Fridays-Ecstatic Dance

It's our last Friday dance for the year! Come and slide on into the weekend with an ecstatic wave designed to help you let go of any tension from the week and help you find your flow. The dance journey will open with a grounding process, gentle warm-up, then flow through a curated musical journey: soft ambient and downtempo to land in your body, world and tribal rhythms to awaken the hips, soulful house and melodic techno to lift the energy, peak with trance/bass-driven grooves for full-expression dancing, then ease back through chillout and ethereal soundscapes for integration. The journey will close with a short circle to share gratitude and come back into presence. Come as you are — move, release, and reconnect. The Space: D Block at Gorman House **NOTE: allow time to find a park in the area Arrive: at 6.50 for a sharp 7pm start Bring: a water bottle, and a yoga mat (for cool down) This dance is an alcohol-free event / LGBTQI friendly / 18+ event Once the music has begun, we encourage you to keep talking to a minimum so that everyone can enjoy the embodiment! **Please note, although we are using a church hall, this is a non-religious, non-denominational event. ABOUT US: The Canberra Ecstatic Dance Collective monthly dance offering is a safe and supportive space to express, release, and experience joy through movement. Each dance has a different theme and a different facilitator, BUT every dance will be a safe space to explore movement within a dynamic dance community. MORE ABOUT THE DANCE: These dances are lovingly curated to take you on a journey which peaks and brings you gently back down again. The purpose of this dance is to simply let go and let your body move you. You may find yourself focusing on one part of your body, wanting to connect your body with the floor, or dance with another person (consensually!) You may wish to sit out or lie down and rest. You may feel emotion moving through you. Whatever is intrinsically and authentically emerging from within is what we are opening up to and creating space for. Uninhibited movement is encouraged, whilst being respectful of others in the space.
