“The sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”

_Carl Jung

 

Dance is in my blood.  My dance journey started with Sylvia Glasser’s  Moving Into Dance Mophatong, and with time, this passion has led me into the world of conscious dance.   Along the way I trained in Biodanza and have woven the depth of this powerful modality into what I now offer – practices grounded in psychological, spiritual and proven practices

 

I offer a dynamic set of ecstatic practices that invite us to an embodied awakening.  Through dance, entheogens, and sensitive touch we can explore the deepest layers of pleasure and desire, sparking a powerful and ecstatic connection to the joy of being alive.  While the shadow is always present, my approach focuses on fostering pleasure, enjoyment, and the pursuit of life-affirming emotions.

 

Too often we live in reaction to the events that shape our lives, rather than being the creators of the future we desire.   By accessing deep awareness, we tap into the wonder and wisdom of our bodies.  When we move beyond the surface of physical sensation, we immerse ourselves in the mystery of life - connecting to health, well-being, and vitality.  We reach enlightenment and expanded states of being by embracing our humanity through the body and ecstatic experiences, lifting  us out of what Tim Freke author of Soul Story calls “the numbness of being normal”.

 

I have facilitated workshops and retreats in Brazil, Greece, Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland, Mozambique and of course many in South Africa.  Each modality - dance, entheogen journeys, and sensitive touch - are transformative on their own.  But when integrated, the practices unlock a profound cosmic fusion and wholeness.

 

I love to explore and continuously expand my own practice – for now these are my offerings:

 

AQUA ECSTATICA

Immerse yourself in a heated (37°C) indoor pool, like a cosmic womb, combining a threshold dose of psilocybin, inner journeying, and sensitive movement. In this sensual and profound space, connect deeply with yourself, others, and the essence of life.

 

This is also offered one-on-one where dosage depends on the individual.

 

AQUA TRANCE

Is a fusion of aquatic bodywork, music, and movement in a heated pool, where water’s natural flow induces deep relaxation and connection.  Feel the freedom and timelessness as you drift into a state of "oceanic" oneness.

 

(Ideal as a warm-up for AQUA ECSTATICA.)

 

“Hi Christos, the whole experience was just fantastic. I felt safe and as if it a bubble of love.”

 

m~TRANCE

Is a journey into the sub-conscious to access knowledge, wisdom and healing through mental clarity and insight – facilitated by entheogenic plants and dance.  Using a threshold does of psilocybin it incorporates an inner journey connecting to self, followed by an integrative dance journey.

 

“Thanks again Christos. You created such a safe space and container for a deep and beautiful experience. I feel very privileged and blessed”

 

ecstatic CACAO DANCE

Gather around a fire in the garden for a joyful dance, accompanied by a small dose of cacao. This playful and heart-opening experience is a perfect introduction before embarking on deeper journeys like m~TRANCE.

 

HEDONIC ENCOUNTERS

Dive into a series of workshops centered on pleasure, enjoyment, and body wisdom. Through a mix of studio, pool, and nature-based experiences, explore the beauty of your body as a source of healing and self-mastery.

 

PRIMAL MOVEMENT

Reawaken your primal instincts through movement, sound, and dance. This one-day conscious dance experience reconnects you with ancient body wisdom, allowing you to tap into the cosmic intelligence held within your cells for healing and transformation.

      I have attended MANY of Christos’ offerings over the years and have received so much value from them. He is profoundly knowledgable and wise and holds space with a lot of integrity. His music selection is spot on as well and is a powerful part of what he offers. I recommend him fully!
