Our Next Sessions:
MONDAY 25TH OCTOBER | “SAMHAIN” | 18:30-21:00
The traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain is similar to many cultural calendar markings such as Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos.
A moment of coming together that acknowledges the phenomena of departing.
It is a time when the boundary between our world and the beyond is said to be at its thinnest.
But how will you embody it?
Never been before?
Feel welcome. This is a large group movement session in which we dance through the 5Rhythms movment map. This natural and powerful exploration of embodiment allows us to easily acces the richness of our individual and collective expereince; opening the doors to somatic process and cathartic ecstasy. It's recommended to bring a full water bottle and layers to move in comfortably. It is very likely that you will sweat.

Timings:
Completing together is always easier when we start together. Arrive early to really drop into the body. I honestly believe the greatest learnings I have received have been before the doors close.
Doors Open: 18:30
Venue:
We dance in Goldsmiths Great Hall, inside the Richard Hoggart Building, Lewisham Way, London, SE14 6NW
Closest public transport is New Cross and New Cross Gate overground stations. Plus there's free on-street car parking spaces in the residential roads near the venue for anyone driving in.
With a lovely wooden floor that's over 500msq to move in + a juicy sound system + climactic waves of music, this is London's largest movement space in more ways than one.

Pricing:
NEW *** £13 under 30's***
£17 CONCESSION
£20 ADVANCE
£23 PAY IT FORWARD
+ on the door price is also £23
Facilitation:
Sessions are held by Tim Barnes - known for his music led, DJ centred approach to creating sonic sound journeys that bridge the highs of Ecstatic Dance + the depths of 5Rhythms. He’s been utilising dance as his healing modality for nearly 15 years, and holding space for others’ processes across the last 5, both in the UK and internationally with classes, workshops, retreats and festivals.

Tim and the crew look forward to welcoming you!
