Candlelit dancing brings live rhythms together with awareness of the body: you can notice its weight and warmth, your breathing and how you respond to the music. Samhain marks the turning point into the dark half of the year.
What happens
- The evening begins with a warm-up, an opening circle and a cacao ceremony.
- Then you can dance freely to an ecstatic dance set and live rhythms.
- After the dancing, there will be a sound healing session with the Earth gong, singing bowls and flute.
- The evening closes with a closing circle and tea, which you can skip.
Who leads it
Andrey Zamyshlyaev leads the evening and plays an ecstatic dance set and didgeridoo. Tanya Berezovskaya plays live drums.
