Roundhouse, Bishops Woods, Swansea, Wales
Our ultimate tribal gathering.
Fire crackling. Forest healing. Delicious cacao. Headphones immersion for deep dive into wilderness. A truly unique experience at the stunning Roundhouse in Bishops Woods near Caswell Bay.
Join us for natural healing, cacao ceremony & an immersive dance journey at the Roundhouse in Bishops Wood near Caswell Bay. Connect with the rhythm of your soul with like minded people in this beautiful natural setting.

The set will be dj'd live and guided by Seagypsee, DJ and facilitator at Mystic Cocoon and The Wild Woman Project.
CEREMONIAL CACAO
At the beginning of this session, we will introduce ceremonial cacao. As well as being incredibly delicious, ceremonial cacao helps us to ground, enhance our dance experience and open our hearts. It can also gently guide us to connect with hidden dimensions of ourselves. At Mystic Cocoon we prepare cacao with great respect for the indigenous wisdom keepers of this master plant medicine, infusing it with prayers, songs and love during the whole preparation process ✨ BRING YOUR FAVOURITE MUG FOR THE CEREMONY.
ECSTATIC DANCE
You are invited to this safe, playful space, where the whole of you is welcomed. In this session, you will gently be guided to breathe, let go of stress, recharge and move as you feel. Dancing and cultivating authentic movement from the inside is deeply nurturing and healing. Be prepared to deeply connect with the elements, move, sweat, experience and enjoy!
🌊 Unlike clubbing, ecstatic dance sets are built like "waves" moving from slow and mellow, to very dynamic and everything else in between; gently guiding you to stretch your body and mind in many directions, to experience the vast spectrum of your emotions with mindfulness and wild abandon. Most of the time when people dance it is to look good to others, but here, we dance to connect with our authentic natural selves.
🌿 This is a 100% nature dance, set in the gorgeous Roundhouse with an open fire, deep in the beautiful Bishop's Wood Natural Reserve on the Gower coast.
🎧 We use wireless headphones to be respectful to the preserved wildlife around and be immersed in the best quality sound possible!
🌅 You are welcome to stay for a community dinner around the fire (bring your own food) or to go at the Caswell Bay Beach (5min walk away) for a sunset swim.

What people say
"I came today feeling full of anxiety. Left feeling BIG LOVE."
"I felt healed and liberated. It was such a comforting energy."
"Dancing barefoot, rolling in the dirt, cheering, screaming, laughing. I got to meet and be in the dance with such beautiful strangers. I feel reconnected to my self, to my soul, to spirit, to dance, to mama earth, to this tribe.
I went home with dirt on my face and sooo much love in my heart. My intention for this dance was freedom and I have never felt more free"
"What a gorgeous and much needed reset mentally and physically.. lost among nature, lost in oneself with free and open minded expression, like children at play. Earthing and at one with nature. Such a communal spirit. Pure bliss and pure love."
