WELCOME TO ECSTATIC DANCE CARDIFF! WE ARE SO DELIGHTED TO DANCE, EXPRESS FREELY, CONNECT, EXPAND TOGETHER AT THE BEAUTIFUL COED HILLS RURAL ARTS SPACE, COWBRIDGE

As we celebrate the New Moon in Scorpio, join special guest DJ Anna Lisa Drew, who will guide us on a soft, juicy, and ecstatic dance journey with deep beats, soaring melodies, and heartfelt lyrics, her signature offering! Expect ecstatic peaks, a touch of spice, and a journey to leave with a soothed nervous system :)

We’ll begin our journey with Sea Gypsee &amp; Bonsaii weaving together a sensuous cacao activation, a ritual of heart and voice, softening the edges, melting away inhibition, and opening the doors to your juicy, untamed self. A spell to set intention with devotion, pleasure, and presence...

~ ~ ~

? Let your imagination run wild, dissolve into the music, embrace the depth &amp; fluidity of the moment: we'll hold that delicious space for you to explore as you feel into your flow ?‍♀️


This is the essence of what we want to create. More than just a party, (which of course it is too!) it is also a gathering that build meaningful relationships and connectivity, authentic purpose and loving kindness. We are community that learn how to tap into the natural ways to celebrate life and grow together. 

On this night, we will enjoy nature, meditate, set intention, dance freely, connect, lift up our energies to the highest states. A time to infuse our intentions as the sublime cacao, music and sounds circulate through our bodies. A time to fill our cups majestically, enliven our spirits in true community and remind ourselves how amazing we are! ✨? ?

Cacao Activation &amp; Intention Setting w/ Sea Gypsee + Bonsaii
7pm - 7.20pm

At the beginning of this session, we will introduce ceremonial cacao. As well as being incredibly delicious, ceremonial cacao helps us to ground, enhance our dance experience and open our hearts. It can also gently guide us to connect with hidden dimensions of ourselves. At Ecstatic Dance Cardiff, we prepare cacao with great respect for the indigenous wisdom keepers of this master plant medicine, infusing it with prayers  and songs during the whole preparation process ✨

As we sip Ceremonial Cacao with intention and through a guided meditation to open our hearts, we will call in an intention for this year. The effects of cacao can vary from one person to another, but you can expect an improvement of mood and pleasure, stimulation of mental alertness and heart expansion.

As well as being one of the most potent superfood on the planet, this ceremonial grade cacao will help you to reach a state of mild euphoria, without altering your consciousness. It's a beautiful heart-opener and with intention, it can help you enhance your wellbeing to the next level. It truly is the new way to dance without alcohol and we absolutely love it!

What is in this cacao drink? ceremonial grade cacao, organic agave, vegan organic milk


Ecstatic Dance w/ Anna Lisa
7:20pm - 9.10pm

You are invited to this safe, playful space, where the whole of you is welcomed. In this session, you will gently be guided to breathe, let go of stress, recharge and move as you feel. Dancing and cultivating authentic movement from the inside is deeply nurturing and healing. Be prepared to deeply connect with the elements, move, sweat, experience and enjoy!

? Unlike clubbing, ecstatic dance sets are built like "waves" moving from slow and mellow, to very dynamic and everything else in between; gently guiding you to stretch your body and mind in many directions, to experience the vast spectrum of your emotions with mindfulness and wild abandon. Most of the time when people dance it is to look good to others, but here, we dance to connect with our authentic natural selves.


Closing Circle w/ Sea Gypsee
9.10-9.15pm

We gather in circle to close the evening. This is a chance to feel connected in peace as a tribe. We tune into what is present within us, share and receive others experience in authenticity and non judgment. There will also be a chance to talk more by the fire after the dance.



Social Time
9.15-10pm

After the dance, for those who wish to stay, there will be organic food  &amp; a time for us to just be together. 

Bookings coming soon
