FULL MOON - Cacao & Somatic Dance

About this event

```~~~~~INVITATION TO MOVE~~~~~ • Friday, 25 September 2026 • 6:45pm to 9pm • $30-$35 per person 😍BLASE and LadyFem invite you to join us for this month's FULL MOON Cacao and Somatic Dance gathering🔥We're delighted to have Maryam join us as our resident Cacao queen! This dance is unfolding super close to the next Full Moon in Aries, which is occurring in the early hours of Sunday morning. We'll begin with a beautiful Cacao ceremony guided by Maryam, drop in a few words of insight into what's unfolding in the great expanse of the sky above, and move into a Somatic Dance expertly guided by BLASE, while LadyFem is back behind the decks providing the sonic experience😍 🌟 Because we will be making Cacao, we would appreciate advance ticket purchases so we know how much delicious brew to make! 🌟 Somatic Dance is a guided free form movement journey, delving deep into the layers of the body and held in a non-judgemental space where all of you is welcome. No prior dance experience is necessary and all bodies are welcome. There are no routines or steps to follow here, simply an invitation to discover how your body wishes to move. The guided facilitation is supported by a carefully curated soundscape overseen by a DJ. This dance is an invitation for you to come and move your body to the unique rhythm of you, supporting a deeper connection with yourself and others. This is a space free from alcohol, shoes and talking. Let the epic music and guidance of your facilitator carry you out of your mind and into your body, allowing yourself to experience the transformative power of Somatic Dance! The music takes the form of a wave, beginning gently before building to a peak, then settling back down to land softly and slowly. We recommend wearing clothes you are comfortable moving in (layers are great), bring along a drink bottle and a drop or two of curiosity! Our dance spaces are designed for adults to create a space where you are able to freely explore and express your authentic self, in whichever shape and form it happens to be expressing itself. As part of this, we request that alternate arrangements are made to care for any children while you attend. If you have a child you would like to bring along, please reach out to us and we can have a chat about whether it is a possibility. The location is: Mt Eden Village Centre, 449 Mount Eden Road, Mount Eden, Auckland 1024 We welcome you at any time from 6.45pm for a 7pm start. 🎟️ $30-$35 per person; cash on the door or preferably, purchase your ticket in advance so we know how much Cacao to make! Early Bird: $30 Regular or on the door: $35 If price is a barrier to attending, please reach out to us and we can work something out, an additional hand with tasks on the day is often appreciated.

His approach is rooted in authenticity, attunement, and the subtle magic that arises when a group moves as one living organism. 🎧🔊LadyFem; Soundscape Creatrix 🎧🔊 LadyFem has been journeying within the embodiment landscape for many years and resonates most deeply with practices steeped in tradition.
