ECSTATIC DANCE, GONG & CUPPA |
ON HOLD DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS |
Come and move your body in dance the third Friday eve of each month in Kangaroo Ground.
We have the eccentric energy of DJ 'Lisa Beatz' (a.k.a. Lisa Watson) controlling the tunes that will invite your bodies and minds to go to some familiar and new places. We then offer you the opportunity to assimilate your dance energy into your bodies with a gong meditation thanks to Hari Sangat (a.k.a. Katie Ferguson) 'The gong is like a Stargate from which brings in a vortex of energy which facilitates our connection with the infinite higher self. Creating a synergy effect bringing the listener to know the oneness of all effortlessly, while recharging the body and strengthening the nervous system all at once.' |
The Kangaroo Ground Centre is a beautiful mud-brick building with an open energetic space to release through movement.

More Information
For those of you unfamiliar with ecstatic dance, these nights are just for moving your body in anyway that feels good, or makes you feel good. There is no right or wrong way, no specific dance moves, just an opportunity to explore your body from your fingertips, toes, tongue, elbows, hair and other parts not musically explored and all the way through your whole body.
We do ask that in doing this your respect others and things around you.
In respect for the hall we ask that you don't wear street shoes, take in any food or drink and be mindful of the items placed and hung in the room.
In respect for others, please be aware that some may at times want to stay internal and not interact, but feel free to interact with those open for engagement in verbal silence.
All verbal communication can take place out in the front room. This is also where you will find the toilets, food and drink. Please remember to stay hydrated.
At the end of the dance we have a short gong bath meditation. Feel free to collect a mat and sit, stand or lie down as you sense that energy in your body and the healing bath of sound through it.
You are then invited to hang back for a cuppa, yummies and conversation.

What is Ecstatic Dance?
It is what you make of it...
We will provide a freeform movement space and music where dance can expand, spirits can activate, boundaries can melt, boredom can cease, creativity can break out, hope can happen, beauty can flow, communities can collaborate, ritual can be reinvented, harmony can resonate. Be open to possibility.
'The beat deepens as an electronic tapestry of world rhythms weave us together as individuals within a greater family'
