Come join us on a somatic dance journey that is wild, barefoot and free!
Held at Wendover Woods—one of Forestry England’s most beautiful and ancient woodlands with other other beautiful venues also dotted around. In the winter months we go inside & dance in a bright open space with a fire. Where the community deepens.
We start the gathering in circle drinking heart opening ancestral cacao (opt). I really recommend cacao as an incredible support to help us to surrender a little more and to let go of some inhibitions and to feel more of a sense of belonging.
With guidance at the start of the dance we learn to drop down into our bodies, earth our energy, come back to centre, come back to our own inner compass, to meet ourselves where we are at. Wherever that may be. To feel what is alive for us right now and to move from there.
Connecting us back in with our true selves. Allowing us to feel free to dance in whatever way our body wants to.
Luisa Bradshaw aka DJ LuluOm creates a wave of music that is deeply emotive, earthy, heart opening, tribal, euphoric and fun!
The music starts slow & hypnotic, & builds & builds to a fast moving, free flowing, ecstatic peak and finishes with a deeply grounding sound immersion.
Lulu’s music sets are high vibe
Attunment straight from the divine!”
My music waves are a result of deep listening to spirit, the land I am on and the emotions moving within me. They are designed to take you on a journey that opens the heart, allowing us to feel all the feels, allowing us to move with whatever is alive within us in that moment.
We dance from our hearts, the cacao & the music allowing us to move through any inhibitions to dance freely and often joyously.
This is different from ‘conscious clubbing’ and a ‘sober rave’. I like to think of it as a somatic movement journey. Where we meet ourselves where we are at. No matter how we are feeling, and then with facilitation learn to drop our awareness down into our bodies, coming out of our monkey minds, connecting back into that feeling space & then letting our bodies to move from here.
Letting go of any pre-conceived ideas we have about the word ‘dance’ whether we feel we ‘can’ dance or
‘can’t’- the idea of looking cool or dancing in the right way.
Just starting from a place of truth….
And then letting our bodies MOVE in whatever way they wish. It’s such a beautiful way to honour our emotions and allow them to move through the body.
I really look forward to meeting you ‘unmasked’
sometime soon.
This is a space of non judgement. A space to be completely YOU. We welcome you.

ANCESTRAL CACAO
All ingredients are vegan. MADE WITH ORGANIC COCONUT MILK
Contraindications of cacao: please note at this event, one cup of cacao is considered a small dose.
• If you are on an antidepressant, SSRI, antipsychotic, or any other psychiatric medication please only have one cup of cacao, there will already be a lot of serotonin in your body.
• If you have a heart condition or are pregnant: Be aware that the theobromine in cacao is a vasodilator: it increases the heart rate and lowers blood pressure, so you may be better off with a smaller dose
• If you are on MAOI antidepressants, cacao (8 all forms of chocolate) is contraindicated because it contains tyramine.
• If you are taking 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) it’s advisable to have a smaller dose of cacao.
• If you are taking St John’s Wort, please refrain from taking it for a few days before.
• If you are epileptic a high consumption of cacao could possibly increase the risk of seizures. * some people are allergic or sensitive to theobromine – it can trigger headaches or migraines in some people. In some cases, a smaller dose will be fine depending on how sensitive you are.
