🌸 Flow of the Day 🌸
Part I: Roots & Rhythms (2:00 PM – 4:30 PM)
(A small, intimate container limited to 30 bbs) We begin the day with intention, waking up the body and settling the nervous system.
- 2:00 PM | Somatic Grounding: We start with gentle shaking and guided stretching designed to release the heaviness of winter and help you find your centre.
- 2:30 PM | Queer Salsa: Rise into a workshop facilitated by Queer Salsa London. This is a gender-inclusive partner dance social where everyone leads and flows freely, blending cultural salsa traditions with community vibes. Open to dancers of all levels.
- 3:30 PM | The Dance: A dedicated movement hour to let it all go. We’ll be spinning Afro and Latin tunes so you can keep the energy moving, integrate what you’ve learned, or simply have a good shake-off.
Part II: The Bloom (4:30 PM Onwards)
(The space expands, the tribe gathers)
- 4:30 PM | Open Mic Poetry by Echoes of Us: The floor opens for spoken word, poetry, and song. This is a space to be heard—share your truth, your story, and your voice, or simply witness others in theirs.
- 5:00 PM | The Social: As the afternoon expands, we nourish our bodies and spirits.
- Storytelling Circle with Cheza Lucina (Spectra): For those seeking a pause, we open a cushioned storytelling circle to reclaim Chisme (Gossip). A space for oral history, community news, and truth-telling, honouring the power of the stories that bind us.
- Reflective Corner by Minsa Moon: A very gentle, optional space to explore what you need right now—radical rest, grounding, and quiet reflection.
Part III: Open Decks (6:00 PM – 8:00 PM)
- The Volume Rises: As the sun sets, the energy shifts. We dance out the final hours of the weekend together with Open Decks. We are keeping the vibes high but grounded, honouring diasporic beats within Latinx and Afro-Caribbean music.
