A heart-opening evening of cacao, dance and sound to close the day in community.
Welcome the New Year through ecstatic dance, gentle reflection, lunar wisdom and embodied intention, inviting clarity, renewal and heartfelt connection.
About the Workshop
We close the day with a heart-opening celebration of movement, music and togetherness. Hosted by Ecstatic Dance Kent and guided by DJ Hannah Chrystal, Lewis Edwards and Charlotte Donachie, the evening brings cacao, ecstatic dance and sound into one immersive journey.
We begin with a ceremonial cacao circle, softening the heart and inviting emotional presence. From there, we flow into 90 minutes of ecstatic dance — a rich, expansive soundscape led by a live DJ, moving from gentle warm-ups into full-bodied expression before settling into spacious stillness.
The night concludes with a restorative sound bath, allowing vibration, resonance and breath to integrate the day’s experiences and bring the body into calm.
Expect expression, release, connection and the remembering of something ancient and deeply human.
