Join us for this beautiful monthly practice — a journey into movement, body awareness, and inner clearing, connecting deeply with yourself through the simplicity of being barefoot and dance ! This month we will open the space with Ceremonial Cacao to uplift the Spirit!

Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement practice that helps you reconnect with your body and release emotions through dance.

There are no steps to follow and no choreography. You move freely, usually barefoot, guided by the music and your own feelings.

It helps to:

• Release stress and tension

• Express emotions in a healthy way

• Feel more present and alive

• Connect with yourself and others without words

  
  

About the Ceremonial Cacao:

This Ceremonial Cacao originates from the indigenous communities of Costa Rica.

It is a heart-opening plant medicine that deepens connections with oneself and others.

Crafted from pure cacao beans, it is made with respect and in the traditional manner honoring its indigenous origins.

As a gentle stimulant for ecstatic dance, ceremonial cacao boosts circulation and endorphin release, promoting warmth, joy, and emotional openness. This enhances free movement and allows dancers to enter a natural trance or flow state.

The Cacao Ceremony fosters connection and gratitude, turning dance into an embodied meditation where the heart leads and the body follows.

About the location:

At Villa Melodia Events, Ecstatic Dance and Ceremonies are offered as a safe and supportive space where you can explore movement, enhance self-awareness and authentically express yourself.

The session will open with a guided meditation to prepare the body and mind for the practice, and will close with a sharing and grounding circle.

Light snacks are included in the contribution.

About the Facilitator

ManuDiosa is an holistic therapist and somatic coach who is passionate about creating transformative musical journeys for Ecstatic Dance.

She carefully designs each session as an embodied exploration, guiding participants through a dynamic flow of movement and emotion.

and be explored.

Her approach blends body awareness, emotional intelligence, and intuitive musical storytelling — supporting participants in reconnecting with themselves in an authentic and deeply felt way.

Contribution: 28 euros per person.

Pre-registration is necessary. Participation is only confirmed with advance payment.

Please bring a reusable water bottle, a change of T-shirt, and a pair of socks. On cooler days, we recommend bringing a blanket for extra comfort.

We also suggest wearing comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to move freely.

Guidelines for the Practice

Ecstatic Dance is a conscious and substance-free practice.

Participants are required to arrive with a clear mind and body, free from alcohol, drugs, or any other mind-altering substances.

This ensures a safe, grounded, and respectful space for everyone.

We kindly ask all participants to honor the collective energetic space.

Anyone who does not respect the guidelines or disrupts the safety and integrity of the group will be asked to leave the house.

Our intention is to maintain a protected and supportive environment where everyone can feel safe to explore, express, and move freely.
