Ecstatic Dance Temples with DJ Akara Heart

✨🌹 **Welcome to Ecstatic Dance Temples** 🌹✨ As we gather in the Heart of Glastonbury for our first journey together on the evening of Beltane, we celebrate the beauty and joy of hightened spring through movement and dance. I invite you into the temple of your own body — where sound becomes prayer, and the body re-members its natural innate wisdom, this may feel primal, tribal, airy or firey through-out the journey, all is welcome. This is a monthly Ecstatic Dance offering held by **DJ Akara Heart** — one Friday night a month — a space to move, release, and come home to yourself through rhythm, movement and deep inner presence 🩷 * * * 🎶 **DJ AKARA HEART** Sacred dance facilitator and founder of the Sacred Temple Arts Mystery School, Akara Heart creates immersive, body-led sound journeys that invite deep embodiment, liberation, and remembrance. With a lifelong devotion to music and movement, and a background as a professional dancer, she comes fully alive in these spaces—channeling her magic and weaving sacred temple codes into the field. Her sets are a rich tapestry of melodic house, Afro and organic house, tribal and world fusion, Balearic beats, downtempo bass, and ethereal electronica. Each track is carefully chosen for its positive message, spiritual resonance, and uplifting intention. Guiding a living wave of rhythm, Akara takes dancers on a journey—from deep, grounding connection with the earth… through sensual grooves and ancestral textures… into expansive, euphoric, heart-opening peaks. This is more than a dancefloor—it is a **temple in motion**. A space to return to your body, to awaken your spirit, and to express what longs to be felt and moved. A remembrance of aliveness. A journey into your inner world. An invitation to embody your truth. 🩷 * * * 🌊 **THE EVENING FLOW** 6:45pm — Doors open (Please arrive on time; doors close at 7:00pm to begin together) 7:00–7:15 — Opening ceremony ✨ Optional cacao shot is offered at the beginning of the opening ceremony — an invitation into a deeper heart activation journey, if you wish to receive it 7:15–8:45 — Ecstatic Dance Journey 8:45–9:00 — Sound integration & landing * * * 🌿 **WHAT TO EXPECT** This is a sustance free-form movement space, where you are invited to explore your body as it wishes to move.

The journey is held through evolving soundscapes designed to support upliftement, connection to source, joy, and transcendence, careefully curated by Akara — who has been teaching sacred dance and facilitating movement spaces for over a decade. * * * 🌸 **WHAT TO BRING** ✨ Comfortable clothing you can move freely and joyfully in ✨ Water bottle to stay hydrated ✨ A sheepskin or yoga mat if you wish (for comfort, rest, or landing) ✨ A blanket or shawl for warmth and integration ✨ Layers for after the dance ✨ An open heart, and a willingness to meet yourself exactly as you are The floor is heated, so you can feel safe and supported in softness and rest throughout the journey 🌿 Barefoot dancing is warmly welcomed and encouraged * * * ✨ **Ecstatic Dance Space Guidelines** ✨ This is a **substance-free, ceremonial space** , held with intention, presence, and care. We invite you to **gently set phones aside** , allowing yourself to fully arrive, connect, and immerse in the experience. This is a **consent-based space**. We communicate primarily through **non-verbal connection**. When engaging with others, attune, listen, and feel for mutual openness. If you do not wish to engage, a simple gesture—such as hands in prayer at the heart with a soft nod—is a clear and respected “no.” We move with **deep respect** for ourselves, one another, and the shared field we co-create. This is a **spoken-free space on the dance floor** , supporting a deeper journey inward and a more embodied connection through movement. * * * Come as you are. Let the body lead. Let the dance take you home. 🌹✨ Tickets are £15 - either purchased here or on the door, but there is a 20 capacity so purchasing tickets prior to the event is recommended. This event will be held monthly, 1 friday night a month, i hope you can join for future events. I will be announcing the next dates month by month. With love, Akara
