Wilderness Dance

  • Stoke Park Woods Bishopstoke Eastleigh, England, SO50 6GQ United Kingdom (map)

Come dance, your unique dance, in a beautiful nature space using silent disco headsets. No steps to learn, no judgements made and no expectations, just follow your curiosities, imaginings, and joy as you move in the natural space to a carefully curated playlist.

Wilderness Dance presents an opportunity to dance in community with others in beautiful natural spaces.  

With the permission of Forestry England we will gather under the majestic beach trees of Stoke Park Woods. Beginning in circle, I will offer a short welcoming introduction to ground and open our hearts to being held in the beech glade. I will create an inspiring hour-long playlist to support your unfolding movement and enhance the nature/human connection.  

The personal headsets allow you to adjust the volume to suit you and to move freely within the area, without disturbing a mouse. 

My hope is that Wilderness Dance will unite free spirits, the brave and the curious to explore creative nature connection, to tune into a world of sound and music that enhances our nature experience and builds our community connection.

I will bring us together in circle and provide an opportunity to connect more fully with our nature surroundings. I will lead a gentle warmup through the body and then leave you to explore, listening to the headset playlist for an hour before appreciating some inner quiet time before returning to a group circle to reconnect.

The terrain is loose and damp underfoot. Please wear suitable footwear. The weather is looking dry, bright and a very mild 15 degrees c (-: Wear layers, and ensure you have something warm for the walk back. 

Where - if you are driving
Use car park here. If you arrive in the cemetery you’ve gone a bit to far turn around and take the first small turn on your left. From the car park walk up into the woods and continue straight for around 5 mins until you see some markers to direct you left to our meeting place. 

If you are walking from anywhere else in the woods follow this pin drop. And wait until you see the signs. 

The walk will take no more than 10 minutes from either car park. Let’s aim to convene at 4 pm for a 4:15 pm start.

Important points
Bring any water, tea and/or snacks you will need. 

There is no loo on site, ensure you go before you arrive! 

Wear clothes suitable for the weather, layer up and bring all your required refreshments (hot tea, water etc) and something you would like to sit or lie on, maybe include a bin bag to save having a soggy bottom. Some people have chosen to lie down at points through the event so think about what you need (and remember to recycle responsibly).

If you haven’t paid online there will be a payment jar on the day and also a register.
