EDB SUNDAY SESSIONS | SUN 31 OCT | GAIA DRAGONFLY

Yay! Our Sunday sessions are now indoors! SUPER, ULTRA, MEGA! 

Uniting the worlds of free-form movement, diverse dance music and sound system culture, we create a safe, held and sacred space for you to come into balance, to express your uniqueness, and to rejuvenate and empower yourself, through movement, dance and sound.

The experience is a modern day ritual where the communion of people, movement and sound serve as mediums for transformation, liberation and soul invigorating celebration. These sessions are sober and are suitable for all ages, all abilities and all people. Everyone is welcome. 

This is our practice. Our dance. Our prayer. Our ceremony. Our ritual.

Come as you are. Dance as you please. Express your uniqueness.

LINEUP

SUN 31 OCT | GAIA DRAGONFLY | Awakening the Wild Woman / Witch Clown

Fresh from co-producing and facilitating another Awakening the Wild Woman retreat on the land in Devon AND holding space with WITCH CLOWN at the EDB RAVE RITUAL on Friday, GAIA DRAGONFLY returns to grace us with her powerful and playful presence. As an Ecstatic Dance DJ, ceremony leader and facilitator, she brings ritual magic and sacred silliness to the dance floor with playful panache. Her work is playful, deep and courageous. Her mission is to connect humans to their primal nature to live a richer and freer life.

She founded the Psychedelic Women’s Circle in May 2017. Since then she has developed a number of popular workshops including Rave Ritual, Slow Dating, Window to the Soul and Awakening the Wild Woman. 

She joined the Psychedelic Society in 2017 and has been instrumental in developing the events programme and community alongside an incredible team of collaborators.

ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES

Ecstatic Dance is self-expression through free-form dance and movement. It’s an embodiment practice which brings awareness to and connects together heart, mind, body and soul; authentically connecting with your whole self and authentically connecting with others.

Our events are family friendly. All people and all abilities are welcome. 

We use the following guidelines to create a safe and held space for you to express the full spectrum of yourself, to express your uniqueness and to experience rejuvenation through movement, dance and sound:

- be here: no shoes
- be free: dance how you want / no judgement
- be present: no phones / cameras
- be clear: no drugs or alcohol
- be embodied: no talking
- be consensual: respect personal space & boundaries of self & others
