Ecstatic Sundays
What's on this Sunday the 21st March 2010?
Ljudan's ecstatic set DANCE MAGIC with special live guest from Canada, Prosad of Trance-Sitar. Check out his music on www.trance-sitar.com
Well it's the 3rd Sunday of the month again. Ljudan will be your facilitator for the autumn morning of dancefloor joy. She has been introducing her Dance Magic format to the Ecstatic Dance Sundays. This is a live music ecstatic dance session. There is an opening circle, ljudan will play from her music selection and the live artist usually Greg Sheehan (wow) weaves thru the music and plays solo, closing with a meditation & a circle. When Greg is away on tour there will be special guests such as this week's Trance-Sitar .
WHY ECSTATIC DANCE ON SUNDAY?
We (Liat, Leyolah, Ljudan & Tim) figure that every now and then a good daytime dance rejuvenates the soul. What better day to choose than a Sunday- that sacred day of worship. Dance is like a worhsip to our soul. We have decided to add variety by creating a different type of ecstatic dance session every Sunday of the month. But for those that need consistency we have Julie Bartley with an hour of Nia Dance every Sunday morning before Ecstatic Dance starts. Please come 15 mins early to warm up if you happen to miss your early morning NIA session.
We have family ecstatic dance every 4th Sunday. This is a shorter session designed for people to bring their kids along and share the joy of dance, movement & play.

ECSTATIC SUNDAY DANCE FOR YOUR SELF, YOUR SOUL & YOUR FAMILY!!!!
ALWAYS HELD AT THE BRUNSWICK MEMORIAL HALL. Make Sunday your Bruns Day
Thank you thank you thank you to all the wonderful dancing beings that came to our opening launch. Your presence made the magic for the day. Swirling, twirling, rithing, jumping, languishing, drinking the dancing nectar of the sacred space, journeying deep into your selves, prancing and musing and cruising with the other delightful dancers. All the emotions being touched upon by one or the other, but the unanymous experience was ecstatic.
The launch was well attended. 27 dancing bodies at Nia Dance. 57 dancing bodies at the ecstatic dance session. The energy was high and ecstatic (of course), and a swim & picnic down by the river afterwards was welcomed by most. Dancers came from locally, Lismore, Gold Coast, even Brisbane & the Sunshine Coast. This event promises to be a great assett to the community.

ECSTATIC KUNDALINI DANCE with Leyolah Antara
Ecstatic Kundalini Dance is a minimal guidance session with a focus on breath, intention & movement through the chakra system using alchemical keys developed by Leyolah over her 16 year practice. For more detials visit her website http://www.kundalini-dance.com
Kundalini Dance is facilitated by its founder Leyolah Antara, who also facilitates Kundalini Dance Teacher Trainings in Canada & the US, the Awakening Retreat, Dance Temple.
10.30am-12.30pm
Dance Magic
Ljudan facilitates this practice based on the premise that our ecstatic dance generates
a transformative environment that enables magic to occur, both as an internal & external
experience - as a healing & manifesting practice. Each session is accompanied by a live
percussive musician to assist in deepening the access to trance-like states. Ljudan is the
creator of Dance Magic, Elemental Dance. She is also the co-founder of Dance of the
Goddess with Kate Little, and So You Think YOu Can Trance with Nick Taylor.
Soul in Motion
Soul in Motion is … a creative dance practice for emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. In a state of presence to this moment, this breathe, this impulse, we are invited to expand into wholeness through movement and dance. Playfulness, joy, anger, sadness, longing, connection, stillness. We claim and embrace the fullness of our experience expressed through our body. We become more integrated, more present, more available to ourselves and to others.
Tim is the creator of Soul in Motion.

Heart
Dance
Heart
Dance is a
heart-opening, ecstatic dance practice held
in the spirit of healing, growth and transformation. The intention of
these dance journeys is to create a safe and easily
accessible
space for allowing the body to sing its song, tell its story and dance
its dance – authentically. There are no steps to follow, only
the
the rhythm and beat of your own heart and the mapping of your own feet.
Every moment, every breath can lead you deeper into your own process
and dance, you only need to begin the first step.
Heart Dance is an invitation to enter into a dance-conversation between
yourself, your instincts and the healing energy. Engaging the intuition
and creativity sparks a process of surrender and transformation. By
unveiling the hidden messages and stories held in our bodies we are
giving permission to the body to speak its own wisdom.
Heart Dance is held in sacred space. It is an invitation to
surrendering the mind, cross the threshold into the body’s
domain
–and enter the realm of the heart. The 2 hour Dance
Journey
is set to Hot Tribal, Global & Soulful with minimal
facilitation.
Liat Sokal is the founder of Heart Dance, Divne Dance & Labour of Love (for pregnant Women).
