HELP NEEDED:
Looking for local space for a benefit gig to raise money for local mental health services .

Hey dance fam, as outdoor gigs are now permitted we are looking to hold an event and donate all the profits to a local charity on 1st or 15th August

Anyone know of a space (woodland/large garden etc) I can hire for about 4 hours?
Bradford/Frome area.
Preferably non-residential area as it's amplified music.
It will be light-hearted, joyful music: 80's, synth-wave and world music.
Many thanks,
Buddha Chris and the Dance Liberation collective 🙏🏽

Dance Liberation's DJ/producer Sciaman Tone has released his 3 fantastic EP's.

Beautiful atmospheric melodies with elements of deep synth and spacious electronica!

Think Max Richter meets Le Matos for a new Matrix/Ad Astra soundtrack, and your getting close.

Beautiful emotional music, nice work Tone x

Also available on Spotify.

Keep your eyes peeled for a live performance at an upcoming Dance Lib event!

Some beautiful poetry to sublime melodic piano from our dear freind and music healer Will Lawton.
Grab some headphones, like back, and bring about some stress-free restfulness and calm in these challenging times.

Peace 🙏🏽

Dance Liberation - Finding Freedom in Isolation, Coming Together in Heart 29/03/2020

Thank you to everyone who turned up to our online dance last night.
Gratitude to those who also made a kind donation to Ton Boon Dharma.

It was great to see some familiar faces and smiles and to connect through our shared enjoyment of dance and music.

A big thanks to Nick and Nicky for helping me technical and set up.

Lets do another soon x

Here's my set including the 'virtual Sound Bath' from last night in HQ:

Dance Liberation - Finding Freedom in Isolation, Coming Together in Heart This was our first endeavour into live online streaming for a dance. I had noticed that some music really doesn't transmit well with live streaming. So I did my best to select a set of tunes that would be clear and vibrant enough to dance to. It worked! Just so happens that they were uplifting,...

Here's an update on our Dharma activites.
Like our page 'Ton Boon Dharma' for all up to date info on our online groups and classes.

FIRSTLY:
A big heart-warming smile for all who showed up to our first 'online' gathering on Monday.
It was well attended, and such a treat for me to see Sangha family old and new coming together to be positive, supportive, hopeful, and share in the blessings of the Dharma.
Our community is strong - Let's continue to connect and heal!

SECONDLY:
A MASSIVE THANK-YOU to all those who donated for the class. There have been set-up costs and ongoing fees and efforts for running these classes. I know times are hard, so your donations were most gratefully appreciated, even the smallest amount made a huge difference.

MEDITATION CLASSES with Chris, Graham and Mike are now every Monday & Thursday eve 7.30 pm - 9 pm.

Sangha Sisters Sharing Circle with Nicky & Julia are every other Sunday (starting Sunday 29th March)

HOW TO GET THE ZOOM APP FOR OUR LIVE CLASSES

Download online from 'zoom.us' and select 'Zoom Client for Meetings' or from the app store as 'Zoom Cloud Meetings'

Once you have the app, find your sitting spot and test your signal by playing something on You Tube - if this works, then Zoom app should work.

When your ready to join a class, come here and click this link below.

Zoom meeting link to join classes:
https://us04web.zoom.us/j/4229929720

(Join between 7.15 pm - 7.30 pm so we all have time to settle in and iron out any connection problems)

I'll then bring you into the group. Be patient while the sound and picture connects.

It can be helpful to listen through some headphones / earphones as this can limit any background noise, or through a good blue-tooth speaker. If not, don't worry, you'll still be able to hear ok.

UPDATE

Be well x

OK DANCE TRIBE..... How are you feeling?

Dancing isn't illegal... (yet)
Providing a safe space to facilitate healing isn't illegal.. (yet)

So while we still have the freedom and the community awareness to be clean, hygienic and considerate to others, we are still allowed to exercise these freedoms and jiggle around to have fun, and keep the body and mind fit and healthy.

If the local community group are still happy to have us, then we are happy to hold the (clean & roomy) space for Dance Liberation.

Please can i have a SHOW OF INTEREST who would like to support our event next Saturday 28th, and come to share in some much needed healing.

Please keep responses clear and simple. MANY thanks.
Chris and the team xx

CONSCIOUS DANCE | Ton Boon Dharma | Bradford-on-Avon Conscious dance is a free-style, expressive dance experience where one can feel safe to express themsleves and find healing through movement. Check out our page for full details of pop-up conscious dance events in Wiltshire.

Dance together, heal together

‘Dance Liberation’ has been born out of my passion to explore and embrace meditation in all its forms to bring health and healing to ones life and create a positive impact on those around us.

For many, formal sitting meditation is invaluable to cultivate calm, stay grounded, cleanse the mind of negativities and develope insight and compassion. I found adding a practice such as conscious dance was a powefull tool to further connect with the body and heart on a deeper level. Learning to be connected like this can release stress, emotional blockages, and help with a variety of physical ailments. It really does embody the spirit of transformation!

Conscious dance is about embodying awareness, cultivating a connection to your inner world and finding a new freedom of being. It is a free-flowing expressive dance that supports a dynamic journey of movement from the subtle and gentle to the highly energetic.

Dance of this nature inevitably calls us into our bodies and to our breath, just as other meditative practices do. Inviting us to bring our attention to this moment, honoring whatever is arising for us. As the Buddha said “One can sustain awareness in ‘any’ posture!”

Opening Hours
