Experience the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing benefits of sound and movement therapy, in a uniquely safe and sober space.THE JOURNEYEnter the hall space in sacred silence from 7.20pm and join us in meditation.At 7.30pm, sitting in circle, you'll be guided through a short centring practice, with an invitation to scan the body, emotions and mind. This practice is an oppportunity to bring more presence to your experience and to connect more deeply with your self and your heart.As we move into our cacao ceremony, we pass our Guatemalan cacao around the circle with love, before practicing gratitude and setting intentions together.We’ll begin our movement journey together with a little guidance to warm up.Movement is conscious, intuitive and spontaneous as you allow the vibrations of the sound to resonate in whichever way feels right for you. The invitation is to disconnect the mind and connect with the body freely, noticing any self-judgement and any fears around judgement from others.The evening will close with a mini sound bath and a short closing circle with fruit, and some optional time to socialise.Together we co-create a safe container, offering respect to our fellow dancers and their space, keeping to the guidelines of no chat, no shoes, no drugs, no alcohol.THE MUSICEach dance is a soundwave journey, with the music being intuitively chosen from an eclectic mix of different genres. The experience is less about the type of music and more about how all aspects of your being relates to it. You'll be invited to be curious with your exploration of your body and movements, to bring moment by moment awareness to what's moving through you.IMPORTANT INFOPlease note that by purchasing a ticket you agree that Just BE Sound and Movement Therapy is not liable for any injury or harm that you may incur at this event (dancing only exactly as YOU feel to) & you agree to take full responsibility of yourself, your health, your wellbeing and all of your belongings whilst at the session -Thank you.This is an over 18’s, respectfully alcohol and drug free environment.

To feel no judgement in a room full of people!’'How does ecstatic dance feel? Like you are truly in your own world, letting your body take in and respond to wonderful music....to really FEEL the music and what that brings up in your body. ''Alison incorporates a few questions and prompts which guide you to really be in the moment and let go further. As a newbie to this type of dance, I've tried it a handful of times and am completely hooked. I had never danced before and was very self-conscious at first, I'm overjoyed at how liberating and natural this feels and it is now one of my core activities for self -and soul nourishment!’WHERENorth Ascot Community Centre - entrance to car park is by the zebra crossing and signposted Library.

If you would like to still attend and take a much lower dose, you can do so at your own risk. Our Cacao is First Grade Ceremonial Cacao from Guetamala. Cacao is a powerful plant medicine that contains iron, zinc, potassium, copper, and magnesium which contribute to cardiovascular health. It is said to have benefits for depression as it contains anandamide, the bliss molecule and has the ability to trigger the release of dopamine and endorphins and increase serotonin. Cacao also has powerful antioxidants and can balance blood sugar levels by increasing the blood flow to the brain. This helps with focus and awareness. Cacao also has spiritual and emotional benefits and can help us to connect with our higher self, tune in to our intuition and access transformational states.ABOUTJust BE Sound and Movement Therapy is run by Alison Heaslewood who qualified in Sound and Movement Therapy with the British Academy of Sound Therapy. She is also the founder of Ecstatic Dance Berkshire.Following a five year episode of chronic pain in her twenties and a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, she turned to alternative methods of healing, including Sound Therapy. Along with sound, movement was instrumental in her full recovery. She has been supported on her spiritual path by cacao, meditation and connecting to nature, and has been continually called to explore deep practices of surrender and awareness.With five years vocal training she has discovered the power of the voice to heal and brings soothing vocals into her sound sessions along with other percussion.She creates nurturing, relaxing and safely held spaces for anyone seeking a space to Just BE.Watch our videos and find out more at www.instagram.com/soundandmovementtherapyTo read reviews: www.facebook.com/JustBEsoundandmovementtherapy https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/ede79260-b14d-11f0-8cf0-0ba3f52179db-rimg-w555-h740-dc040103-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/ee858010-b14d-11f0-abc6-7f2c0bb94a33-rimg-w555-h740-dc040104-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/eef95080-b14d-11f0-8cf0-0ba3f52179db-rimg-w555-h740-dc030105-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/ef85d910-b14d-11f0-9890-cbc9f6533a5f-rimg-w555-h740-dc030103-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/f07716e0-b14d-11f0-abc6-7f2c0bb94a33-rimg-w986-h740-dc4c422c-gmir.jpg Agenda?: 07:20 PMCheck In & In Circle Meditation?: 07:30 PMCacao Ceremony?: 08:00 PMEcstatic Dance & Mini Sound Bath?: 09:30 PMClosing, Fruit & Optional Social - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/winkfield-row/ecstatic-dance-berkshire-friday-dance-and-cacao-spirit-of-the-drum/100001835393755129 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, meditation, workshops, nonprofit, spiritual - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Winkfield Row - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: North Ascot Community Centre - **lat**: 51.4199365 - **long**: -0.6925275 - **full address**: North Ascot Community Centre, Fernbank Road, Winkfield Row, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Ecstatic Dance Berkshire: Friday Dance & Cacao: Spirit Of The Drum - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/5885c86c486fed97102ae027f0f0c3ac5e7edf9a42ed17e48e36f0e8f5cef3ce-rimg-w1200-h600-dc020101-gmir.jpg?v=1761360885 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Ecstatic Dance Berkshire: Friday Dance & Cacao: Spirit Of The Drum being held? - **A:** Ecstatic Dance Berkshire: Friday Dance & Cacao: Spirit Of The Drum takes place on Fri, 21 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm to Fri, 21 Nov, 2025 at 10:00 pm at North Ascot Community Centre, Fernbank Road, Winkfield Row, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Ecstatic Dance Berkshire: Friday Dance & Cacao: Spirit Of The Drum? - **A:** Ecstatic Dance Berkshire: Friday Dance & Cacao: Spirit Of The Drum is organized by Just BE Sound & Movement Therapy. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
