Experience the freedom and magic of a monthly Ecstatic Dance exploration in Ashley Green, Hertfordshire. Join us for an unforgettable evening of movement, music, Ceremonial Cacao*, blissful sound bathing and pure joy at our monthly Ecstatic Dance. This is an opportunity like no other to come together in celebration of community, releasing anything that no longer serves our highest purpose and stepping into our full abundance. The Cacao Spirit is a keeper of ancient, sacred wisdom. Mama Cacao holds the vibrations of kindness, unconditional love, and joy, opening a channel for loving connection with yourself and others. Cacao's energy is healing, motherly and very gentle - speaking directly to the heart. When we connect with the heart’s energy our voice may speak from a place of deeper intelligence carrying vibrations of peace and harmony. We will use the highest quality ceremonial Cacao from fairly traded, indigenous communities in Guatemala and Ecuador to open the heart and begin to melt the walls down that we build up around ourselves. After intentionally drinking the Cacao elixir you will be guided into a free flowing ecstatic dance ritual. Incorporating the wisdom of healing medicine, supportive community, ecstatic dance and a euphoric tapestry of beats to guide you into a state of pure, creative bliss and nervous system release. This ambient sound-trance will drive you deeper into the theta brain state to un-lock creative insights, flow states, deep emotional release and a sense of freedom. The event is open to anyone who is interested in exploring the power of dance, music, community and collective liberation. No prior experience with Cacao or Ecstatic Dance is required. However, we recommend that you come with an open mind and heart and a willingness to explore the power of your potential. We will finish with a blissful sound bath with gongs, crystal bowls and angelic vocals. Event Flow: • Arrival and blessing • Cacao Ceremony • Ecstatic Dance • Blissful Sound Bath • Goodbye hugs!

A ceremonial dose of Cacao is 30-40g and can have some purgative/stimulating effects due to the Theobromine content.

Molly Anne Chinner is a British sound healer, devotional musician, vocalist and wild seed. Hailing from the rural and wild South West, Molly’s music weaves threads of her native folk sound with her extensive work in ambient, healing, devotional and world music genres to offer a soulful and feminine listening journey as a celebration of music as healing, and a guided remembering of the Earth, stars, moon and all the cosmic wonders. After awakening to Yoga and Meditation in 2017, Molly’s music blends an East-meets-West sound, incorporating elements of Bhakti Yoga (devotion) and sacred Mantra with the ancient heartbeat of her beloved British homelands to rewild and remember our sacred connection to the voice of the One Earth, as well as our own voices as messenger of the Heart. With an extensive background in sound healing, folk music and songwriting, Molly's work today is an exploration into voice, sound and music as a language of the soul and messenger of the heart - creating through the weaving of her uniquely healing and ethereal soundscapes, pure crystalline tones and sweet songs - guiding the listener deeper within the body as a vessel and inviting connection with source, consciousness, Earth and Self.
