It promotes cardiovascular fitness by encouraging movement that increases heart rate, while also improving flexibility, coordination, and muscle strength. The freeform nature of the practice helps reduce stress and anxiety, as it allows for emotional release and enhances mental clarity. By fostering mindfulness and body awareness, ecstatic dance can also improve mood, boost self-esteem, and promote a sense of connection with oneself and others. Overall, it provides a holistic approach to wellness, integrating mind, body, and spirit.The blue lotus (*Nymphaea caerulea*), revered since ancient times, has a rich history of ceremonial use, particularly in Egyptian culture where it was associated with the sun god Ra and symbolized creation and rebirth. Consuming the flower, often brewed as a tea or used in poultices, was believed to induce mild psychoactive effects, including relaxation, euphoria, and heightened sensory perception. Its calming properties made it a staple in various rituals and ceremonies, enhancing spiritual experiences and promoting introspection. In addition to its psychoactive effects, blue lotus is also known for its potential health benefits. It has been attributed with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic properties, and may aid in alleviating anxiety, improving sleep, and enhancing overall well-being. As a symbol of transcendence, the blue lotus continues to captivate both the ancient and modern worlds, valued for its ability to facilitate deep meditative states and connect individuals to the divine while offering versatile health benefits.Agenda🕑: 02:15 PMDoors open 🕑: 02:30 PMWelcome circle with Blue lotus tea🕑: 02:50 PMWarm up🕑: 03:00 PMDance🕑: 04:30 PMClosing circle and social - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/canterbury/kingston-ecstatic-dance-october/100001995037970274 - **Event Categories**: fitness, health-wellness, Nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 16+ - door_time: 2026-10-17T13:15:00Z - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: Kingston Village Hall aka The Barn - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10, max: 20, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Canterbury - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Kingston Village Hall aka The Barn - **lat**: 51.2184183 - **long**: 1.1447783 - **full address**: Kingston Village Hall aka The Barn, 25 The Street, Canterbury, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Kingston Ecstatic Dance October - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/83d3f18e75fae984bd8243836207227423f79e6db4b17f54a2c4f66e4afc2063-rimg-w564-h423-dc320810-gmir.jpg?v=1785111733 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Kingston Ecstatic Dance October being held? - **A:** Kingston Ecstatic Dance October takes place on Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 02:30 pm to Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Kingston Village Hall aka The Barn, 25 The Street, Canterbury, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Kingston Ecstatic Dance October? - **A:** Kingston Ecstatic Dance October is strictly for guests aged 16 and above.
