🍃SPRING EQUINOX - SHAMANIC TRANCE DANCE & CACAO CEREMONY

📣You are warmly invited to join us for this special SPRING EQUINOX event - Blindfolded Shamanic Trance Dance & Cacao Ceremony experience.
🗓️When? 11:45am-2:30pm, March 21st
📍Where? Tufnell Park
🎫For booking and more information:https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1983477681138?aff=oddtdtcreator

You are warmly invited to join us for this powerful embodiment workshop/active meditation!
🔥Blindfolded Shamanic Trance Dance & Cacao Ceremony

🌀Our journey begins in the dark.
The blindfold comes on. The outer world dissolves. With cacao warming the heart and ancient shamanic drums calling to us into the dance…

✨Shamanic Trance Dance is an ancient technology of consciousness, rhythm guiding you beneath the thinking mind into embodied knowing.
Hear the ancient pulse calling you into ritual..

🌀This is an invitation into a ritual practice/active meditation inward journey... a blindfolded, free-form movement experience.

In the dark, the mind quiets and the body becomes the guide. Breath, drums and different musics work together to shift you into a deeply aware state. In this space beyond self-consciousness, emotions can release, insight can arise, and a more instinctive, intuitive intelligence begins to move through you.

🌍Rooted in global shamanic traditions, this is a practice of embodied transformation, a dance to connect you to your own inner wisdom and the wisdom of the planet.

You're welcome to come for the whole day or drop into individual sessions. All are welcome!

🌞Part of our all-day transformational workshop TRYBE.

🍃SCHEDULE🍃
◈ 11:45am-2:30pm Blindfolded Shamanic Trance Dance with Cacao Intention Setting Ritual: Trance Dance is an invitation to a dance journey into yourself. You go inwards with your eyes closed and with the help of a blindfold, to see with your heart and connect with the wisdom inside you.

FACILITATOR
Seth Newman - https://urubu.com/
''My purpose is to facilitate rituals that empower “the whole human being” through dance and music. Like Bioenergetics and other somatic processes, for me, Trance Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation. I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express, feel and find ourselves, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.'' - Seth Newman

🔥RAGE RITUAL® - Join us to Unlock & Activate your Roar
A unique Anger/Assertiveness Workshop rooted in Bioenergetic Alchemy® emotional expressive exercises from the URUBU School of Transformational Arts: www.urubu.com

This workshop is about reclaiming life-force!
We see Anger, when expressed consciously, as a clean energy.
It sets boundaries. It restores dignity, and it protects.

What? the Rage Ritual® process
When? March 21st 3:30-5:45pm
Where? Tufnell Park
🎫For booking and more info: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1983959665767?aff=oddtdtcreator

🔥RAGE RITUAL® - Unlock & Activate Your ROAR
Rage Ritual® is not about chaos. It’s about reclaiming life-force! Anger, when expressed consciously, is an honest & life-affirming energy. It sets boundaries. It restores dignity. It protects what matters.
✨Through our unique guided process, breath and embodied activation, you’ll be invited to unlock your roar in a space that is structured and grounded.

More about Rage Ritual®?
This is a movement & embodiment workshop designed to help you to release your natural anger & aggression in a safe space, and in a safe way, without judgement and with a positive appreciation of your innate power and strength!

Often in our culture, we are taught from a very young age to hide our emotions and bottle up the anger, sadness, and pain that we feel inside.
Rage Ritual® will teach you how to get in touch with these feelings, and express your natural emotions in a healthy way, & in a safe enough space.

1) Blindfolded SHAMANIC TRANCE DANCE & Cacao Ceremony
2)The RAGE RITUAL™ process
🌍 PRANA MYSTIC: Global Bass | Ethno-Fusion | Folktronica | Shamanic Soundscapes Ecstatic Dance

1. SHAMANIC TRANCE DANCE begins in the dark.
The blindfold comes on. The outer world dissolves. With cacao warming the heart and ancient shamanic drums calling to us… into the dance… we turn inward to dance our prayer.
Shamanic Trance Dance is an ancient technology of consciousness, rhythm guiding you beneath the thinking mind into embodied knowing.
Then we move into fire. 🔥

2. The RAGE RITUAL™ is not about chaos. It’s about reclaiming life-force. Anger, when expressed consciously, is clean energy.
It sets boundaries. It restores dignity. It protects what matters.
Through our uniquer guided process, breath and embodied activation, you’ll be invited to unlock your roar in a space that is structured, grounded and safe enough.
And as the sun sets, we gather again. 🌅

3. PRANA MYSTIC rises — global basslines, ethno-fusion textures and shamanic soundscapes carry us into ecstatic dance. Cacao flows. Intentions are seeded. Bodies sweat. The dancefloor becomes temple and playground at once. 🌀💫
No talking. No alcohol. Just presence, music, and raw human electricity.
Dance. Move. Connect. Release. Meditate. Celebrate.

TRYBE is a modern-day-sanctuary for Londoners who crave something deeper than the usual night out.
Each gathering is like a mini urban retreat, a space to drop armour, meet your edges, rediscover emobided-joy and stretch beyond your usual way of being.
Come for the full arc of the journey or drop into individual sessions. All are welcome. No experience necessary.
