Spring Equinox is often celebrated as the official start to the new year. We welcome you to this extraordinary experience, to open space for ceremony, ritual and dance, in community
>>>> <<<<<
Meet us at the Phoenix Room of the St Raphael Resort, Limassol for this sacred dance experience.
ECSTATIC DANCE ENERGY with Ecstatic Dance Limassol: Our ecstatic dances are therapeutic spiritual experiences. A warm hearted gathering for people from all corners of our island and the earth, with the common connection for the love of music and dance. The space is free of judgement, safe and held by the Dance Journey facilitator and DJ.
The dance serves as a form of meditation, helping people cope with stress and to attain serenity. Using only the pure collective energy generated in the space, dancing barefoot, without any substances or mind or body altering mediums, dancers release themselves to the rhythm and move as freely as the music takes them, leading to a feeling of bliss.
No matter if you have danced before or are re-learning to move your body in creative ways, the dance floor invites you to come as you are, to move in your own free form way.
In the ancient and widespread practice of shamanism, ecstatic dance and rhythmic drumming were used to alter consciousness in spiritual practices. Ecstatic sacred dances are known also from religious traditions around the world.
Everyone's experience is their own but dancers often have shared experiences, such as a release of body blockages through heat or energy movement, the release of pent up emotions (sadness, anger, confusion). There may be realisations about dysfunctional thought patterns or new insights, and deeply spiritual or energetic experiences.
Ecstatic Dance can help heal emotional pain and help with the processing emotions, revealing a sense of increased clarity, wellbeing and happiness. Therefore we invite you to come as you are. No need to be happy, or "in the mood" or to be anything or anyone at all. Just you.
The dance lasts 90 minutes and is followed by sacred integration time, to allow the body, soul and mind to harmonise and recalibrate supported by a restorative electronic sound journey.

A NOTE ON THE ENERGY EXCHANGE:
We put a lot of time, love and energy into our events.
Our facilitators are dedicated and highly trained leaders in their respective fields who have spent decades honing their specialised gifts and crafts.
To offer such a refined calibre of services, we must ensure we, the facilitators, do not only survive, but thrive, through the sharing of our knowledge within our communities.
Our space requires constant upkeep too, and we, like everyone, have monthly running costs. To keep with this universal balance of giving and receiving, we price our events with care and consideration to ensure we honour ourselves in equal measure to our community making our events as financially accessible as is possible.
If you feel that you would like to participate in any of our events but abundance is currently not flowing for you, we warmly encourage you to get in touch with us so we may explore other forms of energy exchange to best reflect your current situation.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti x
