  "description": "### **Welcome back to the dance - drop into your body, out of your head and move!**\n\n**✴✴✴**\n\n* * *\n\n#### **Schedule:**\n\n**⭐7pm  Doors Open & Arrival:** Arrive, register, settle in, stretch, warm up to gentle music.  \n**⭐ 7.15pm  Doors Close:** To ensure a safe container, there is no entry after 6.45pm. Please arrive in plenty of time so we can all begin together!!  \n**⭐7.15-7.30pm Welcome & Guided Warm Up:** A chance to arrive, connect and be guided through embodied movement to open and prepare you for the dance!  \n**⭐7.30-8.50pm Ecstatic Dance Journey:** Unfacilitated Ecstatic Dance journey with Reya - you do you!  \n**⭐8.50pm-9pm Ending and Closing Circle:** A time to end our dance journey, relax into stillness and finish in circle.\n\n* * *\n\n#### What is Ecstatic Dance?\n\nEcstatic Dance is a free-form movement journey and moving meditation that’s sweeping the world!! Guided by a live DJ, we flow through an epic soundscape of all genres: fast and slow, classical to psytrance, drum and bass to dub - no style is off-limits! The music moves in waves; starting gently, building to vibrant peaks, and ending in stillness.\n\nThere are no steps, no judgment, no need to perform - just pure, free expression. We generally dance barefoot, without talking, in a sober, mindful space where respect and presence create a safe container. Ecstatic Dance is transformative, playful, and deeply liberating. It releases stress, boosts endorphins, and connects us to community, ourselves, and even a higher source. It can truly one of the most magical experiences life has to offer!\n\n* * *\n\n#### **GUIDELINES To keep the space safe and enjoyable for everyone, we follow these simple guidelines:**\n\n- **Speech:** No chatting on the dance floor - sounding is welcome but please be considerate of others.\n- **Footware:** We like to dance barefoot (or in socks as the floor is carpeted) to ground, but if you need to wear shoes, please bring clean soft indoor shoes and be mindful of people's toes!\n- **Boundaries /consent:** Respect others' personal space & check for consent before dancing with someone. If you're not sure whether it's a 'yes', treat it like a 'no'. There is no need to dress to impress! This is not a space where you need to look good … this is a movement meditation.\n- **Substances:** No alcohol, drugs or other substances - this is a sober practice\n- **Screen free:** No phones or cameras during the dance - drop out of your head and into your body and give yourself the gift of switching off! The team may take short videos/pictures for promotional reasons - if you do not want to be in a video/photo, please let us know before or after the dance.\n- **Feel free:**  dance how you want; as much or as little movement as is right for you - this is a non-judgemental space.  Feel free to close your eyes, bring a blindfold, dance to the wall... you do you!\n\n* * *\n\n#### **What should I wear/bring?**\n\n- Comfy clothes you can move freely in - layers are useful as you might get really hot dancing then cool down when still - the church can be quite cold!\n- Earplugs if you're sensitive to loud music.\n- A journal and pen if you like to write.\n- Your beautiful self, a water bottle (refill available)  and curiosity!\n\n**Please note:** We use incense at this event to cleanse the space - if you are allergic/have asthma, please let us know when you book.",
