TURN OF THE SEASON
The heat of summer is beginning to soften. The light is changing. We gather in the heart of Bristol at the threshold between light and dark. To honour everything summer gave us and to begin releasing what is ready to fall away.
This is a space to listen deeply to what is ready to be harvested and what is ready to fall away across your path, your relationships, your practice and your expression.
With earth, air, fire and water, we co-create a collective prayer for grounding, clarity, nourishment and release. A prayer in motion. A prayer for balance, belonging and trust as we meet these times of great transformation.

LINE UP
**OSARA**
_ Ecstatic Dance _
_ A transformational Ecstatic Dance journey for these challenging and beautiful times on planet earth to activate the warrior of love within. _
Osara is a father, DJ and founder of Ace Collectiv. With Cymreig, Scottish and Sámi roots, he weaves ancient and future technologies of sound. Drum, shakers and yoik-inspired vocals braided into organic, underground and electronic dance music.
Expect the deeper, uplifting and soul-invigorating: 140, jungle, techno, afro house, folktronica, organic electro, alongside folk, Celtic, world and South American sound.
Osara is one of the leading Ecstatic Dance DJs in the UK and is the first and longest serving resident DJ (7.5 years) for the world famous Ecstatic Dance UK in London.
**Listen to his dance journeys on SoundCloud**
**KYLE ROSE**
_ Shamanic Sound Journey _
_ A grounding shamanic sound journey guided by the deep resonance of the didgeridoo, the heartbeat of the shamanic frame drum, Native American flute, singing bowls, voice and other traditional trance-inducing instruments. _
Kyle Rose is a sonic ceremonialist who works with sound as a bridge between worlds. Rooted in ancient practice and carried with care, his journeys guide you beyond the thinking mind and into the remembering body. A space to connect with spirit guides, ancestral allies, inner wisdom and deeper layers of self.
More than a performance, this is a ceremonial space to rest, listen and journey inward, to reconnect with what is older than words.
**JOSIE CORKE**
_ Song Circle _
_ A community singing circle using voice, instrument and rhythm to raise our voices, vibration and life force creating collective prayers for these times. _
**Josie ** shares original medicine music inspired by her studies with ancestral wisdom traditions of the Americas. She weaves introspective lullabies with full power dancing and drumming to offer a deep journey through the power of sacred song.
She sees the force of sound as one of the most profound ways to connect to spirit, supporting healing and transformation. Together, united in frequency and harmony, we sing to celebrate, remember and reclaim.

WHO IS IT FOR?
For anyone who wants to move, be moved and be met.
Never been to an Ecstatic Dance? You are exactly who this is for. There are no steps to learn and no way to do it wrong. You dance how your body wants to dance. The floor is a non-verbal space. Rest whenever you need. Many people come alone and leave with friends.
Been dancing for years? You'll find a serious sound system, a two-hour journey with room to go deep and a container held with care.
Bring your kids. Bring your teenager. Come as a family. All ages are welcome and the Kids Space is there for little ones (it is a space to play, with a DBS-checked Kids Space guardian). A parent or guardian stays on site throughout.
Alcohol-free and substance-free. Everything you'll feel in this room comes from the music, the movement, the prayer and the community.
