5ElementDANCE
5 Element Ecstatic Dance is a freeform, drug and alcohol free dance and movement meditation. It's about letting go of the things that don't serve you and embracing what does while remembering that life is here to be celebrated and enjoyed.
You'll bring your awareness inward and connect with the desire of your energy body. What do you desire to feel and how does that desire move you? What does your Soul want to experience? (How does it feel to move in Your desire?)
- Freedom?
- Joy?
- Connection?
- Self-Love?
- Significance?
- Expression?
- Strength & Power?
- Peace?
- Celebration?
...
You dance allowing your current emotion to express itself and when ready, to embody the experience your Soul is calling. As you dance, We invite in the five elements and their unique flavour.
Each of the five elements has it's own energy.
- Earth is grounding, stable and strong, it's the foundation, roots and absorbs unwanted energy.
- Water is surrendering and flows with ease, it's effortless, sensual, cleansing and emotional energy.
- Fire is high energy, active and intense, it's passion, wild and activates Your desire.
- Air is light, peaceful and playful, it's floating through space, changeable and grateful.
- Ether is the unseen, spirit and connection to Source, it moves through You with subtle stillness.
Aligning with the energy of all five elements is a powerful way to experience alignment within yourself as well as a way to express your emotion and tune into to your Soul's desired experience or simply to have fun!

"Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad, right or wrong. However, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy, without denying our anger or sadness? Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way." ~ Abigail Harris

About the Space
Your environment is comprised of both an outer, physical world and an inner world.
It's possible to create both an inner world and an outer world that provide circumstances for us to thrive;
To provide an outer-world environment where we thrive, we create a space where we're free from judgement and instead accept others as they are, with what ever they are going through, where we choose to love and be supportive while being free to express what ever comes up for us. A safe space where we can confront fear with confidence and where we can nurture our relationship with others.
Your inner world environment is made up of what you think and feel. What you feel can be influenced by what you think & what you think can be influenced by what you feel. The CacaoCEREMONY & 5 ElementDANCE help to guide you in creating a powerful inner world environment. Bringing us into present moment awareness. Thoughts drop away as we feel into our energy body, what does this moment feel like? What does your heart long for?
As you connect to the energy of each element, it becomes your experience. In logical terms, this means your focus is trained to align with the experience. The energy of each element will come more and more into your being.
The space we create together, provides the perfect environment for the deep inner work that can take place during a CacaoCEREMONY & 5 ElementDANCE and is the ideal environment to let go and celebrate life with other beautiful Souls.
