A event on Saturday 13th July. The event starts at 18:00.
MadStillNess is the concept of using movement and stillness to work through problems in the mind. Combining psychology, yoga, and ecstatic dance, this workshop integrates ancient yogic practices with modern contemporary dance tools and games to help you get out of your mind so the music can guide your movement.
