Join us to welcome the new year with dance, rest and community.
Join us for Ecstatic Dance to move freely and let go, followed by a soothing Sound Bath to relax and recharge. It's all about fresh starts, fun, and finding your flow. Come as you are and embrace the energy of new beginnings.
Beginnings> invites you into 2026 with spaciousness, intention and community — through ecstatic dance, nourishing sound bath, cacao and warm tea.
Everyone is welcome.
No experience needed.
Just bring yourself.
We gather at The Loft, Folkestone’s new space, for embodied movement and stillness. A simple way to start the year feeling grounded and open.
Start time: 6:00 PM
A space to move, breathe, reconnect — and let the year begin from a grounded place.
Ecstatic Dance is a free-form, alcohol-free movement journey guided entirely by music.
No choreography. No steps to learn.
Simply follow your body, your pace, your truth — wild, soft, playful or still.
The music rises, peaks and softens, supporting release and integration.
We welcome dancers and non-dancers alike — ages 18 to 100.
