Ecstatic dance is a form of dance in which the dancers, sometimes without the need to follow specific steps, abandon themselves to the rhythm and move freely as the music takes them, leading to trance and feeling of ecstasy.
At Fell Edge dancers are welcomed to “walk the land,” ground themselves, set an intention and then dance as the rhythm takes them. The dance is led and held by Dan Ward, a passionate dancer himself.
This will lead on to a deeply held Yoga Nidra by Cath.
This is a refreshing, “re-booting,” experience. Much needed at this time.
As the days are noticeably shorter and the nights deeper, the shift in time is upon us! Join Annie and Chrissy to unwrap the gifts with yoga practice, that this special liminal time brings, as it pulls us more inwards to rest and dream, to nourish ourselves so that we are naturally re-inspired and energised anew, both on the yoga mat and and of course. most importantly in our lives! A delicious vegetarian lunch will be provided for you, cooked with love by Julie of Bilberry Bee catering.
As with all Earth Sky Yoga events by Annie and Chrissy, this is open to all people regardless of gender, class, race and the content will be adjusted to suit the participants in a nurturing and kind approach that encourages you to love yourself as you are and find joy in movement.
Fell Edge Barn and Farm has good access (contact us for details or view website felledge.co.uk) as well as parking for 30 cars.
The Barn that we will be using, is fully converted, warm, comfortable and has far reaching views down the Wharfe Valley – a beautiful peaceful space away from busy life.

Wild Prayer- a call from the heart, through the body and mind to our wild spirit, and the source of our connection to an all-encompassing sense of mystery and life-force.
“Wild: of an animal or plant living or growing in a natural environment.”
This moving body of ours is our natural environment, our heart, our mind.
What is the call that runs through it? What clues do our longings give us? Why do our Wild Prayers matter? Especially now as things fall apart, what if this were the crack we need to evolve, to go back to basics. Pray. What does that word even mean? Let’s find out for each one of us and collectively.
Using a set of physical, emotional and mindful anchors or tools from which to explore our moving selves, we’ll open the floor to explore the movement of our Wild Prayer.
Our exploration will be supported by Open Floor dynamic movement with a variety of music, enquiries, reflection and simple awareness meditation practice.
Everyone is welcome and we will create a ritual space together on Saturday night.
Fell Edge Barn is nestled in a beautiful tranquil spot.
The Barn has a lovely spacious wooden dance-floor, toilets, showers and a well equipped kitchen including 2 fridges and freezers.
There will be soup provided after our dance on Friday night, and a range of teas, herbal and caffeinated, throughout the dance. There is spring water from the tap. We shall share food for lunch on Saturday and Sunday – optional bring your own food if preferred.
