Ecstatic Sessions Chamonix

Alex and Blanche are two deeply passionate creators who feel a strong call to come together through the power of ecstatic dance. They offer beautifully guided ecstatic dance gatherings, with a sensitivity to the spiritual need emerging in humanity at the moment.  These sessions are aided by the use of Ceremonial Cocoa, a powerful medicinal plant for opening the heart.  

Ecstatic Dance, a form of dance - or should I say, journey - lasting around 2 hours, which allows you to let go of all your tensions.  A musical journey that reconnects you with the pleasure of movement.  We tend to forget it, but moving, just moving, rediscovering the possibilities of movement, can be a source of intense joy when we manage to free ourselves from all our prejudices.  In this society, we're taught from an early age to “behave”.  Rooted deep within us, we've integrated a host of body posture rules and completely forgotten that our bodies have a natural wisdom, a beat, a rhythm, which Ecstatic Dance enables us to rediscover.    To go to Ecstatic Dance is to treat yourself to a moment where faux pas don't exist and where aesthetic or artistic performance is of no importance.

“You have to let go of your mind and not think about your movements, but allow your body to express itself through the sound of the music!  It's not easy at first! The 1st times I found myself in an ecstatic in Bali, I wasn't at ease at first, because I was too much in the mind, but as soon as I closed my eyes and let my body do the talking, I was invaded by waves of sensations that guided everything!  It was incredibly magical! The more I went back, the more addicted I became! Addicted to the feeling of well-being that settled in every cell of my body, a bit like after making love... What I find magical is that there's no alcohol or other chemical substances to interfere in the relationship between self and self or self and others, you're just you and everything's perfect” Blanche
