Samhain Rave Ritual Ecstatic Dance

Samhain Ecstatic Dance: A Ritual of Release and Renewal

It’s time to RiTuAliSe the RaVe for an ecstatic journey through shadow and fire- honouring death, rebirth, and the pulse of the unseen. As the veil between worlds grows thin, we gather to honor the turning of the wheel — to release the old, celebrate the harvest, and move into the mystery of winter through free-form dance, sound, and ritual. This is a portal to connect with our ancestors to honour death and to lean into the shadows of what needs to be expressed through the body. Join us for an immersive Samhain ecstatic dance journey where rhythm becomes prayer and movement becomes medicine. Move like you’re shedding skins. Rave like you’re rebirthing light. This is not a party — it’s a passage.

Bring your body, breathe and dance to dive into the primal pulse of your shadow!

What is Ecstatic Dance?

Ecstatic Dance is a free form movement practice which takes dancers through an embodied journey of inner discovery, joy and freedom. This is a self-lead and expansive space with no rules, just a few guidelines:

🌀We dance barefoot, grouning into the earth.

🌀 We dance without words, to let the body speak.

🌀 We dance without substance, no alcohol/drugs permitted. We dance on the high of our own pure energy supply.

🌀 We dance without technology, being in the present moment!

🎵Our Dj will take us on a journey through a beautifully crafted, worldly & eclectic DJ set. Weaving waves of genres and energies to get our body moving and soul smiling with our immersive silent disco headsets. Ending with softness, stillness and slow integration back into our closing circle.

🎧Co-founder and Resident Dj Jazzy Bee will be gracing the decks a dark, sensual edge — rhythms that invite you into your primal body — before rising into release and renewal.A journey to explore the waters of whatever is needed to be experssed through movement and soul. Expect a set which is, booty shakin, deep, earthy and oozing emotion to explore the depths of our humanness, the light and the dark. This is more than a sober rave, its a transformational space to alchemise whatever is needed to be met and to honour being ALIVE in our bodies.

✨If you have never been to an ecstatic dance before or it may be your first time dancing sober and you feel nervous, please be assured the ED Wales team create a friendly and welcoming space. We are all on the journey together, and the dance portal is co -created by eveyones unquiness. It's a truly special experience when random humans gather together and find joy in letting our bodies be free to music with no judgement and compassion for eachother.
