Special edition*
Winter Solstice Journey – Trance Dance & Sound Healing
Friday 20th November, 18:00-20:00,
Amsterdam Oud-West / city center
with Agata & Wen-Wei

Once a month, Friday Deep Dive offers a longer and more immersive experience than a regular sound bath.
Friday Deep Dive is a monthly gathering offering time and space to slow down, step away from the usual pace of life, and connect with yourself through intentional experiences.

As we approach the Winter Solstice,
the darkest time of the year, we invite you to step away from the noise of everyday life and join us for an evening of movement, sound and inner exploration.

The longest night of the year reminds us that darkness is not something to fear or avoid. It is also a place where something can shift, where we can reconnect with our inner fire and begin to recognise the light that lives within us.

Together, we will explore this through two complementary practices.

First, through Trance Dance, we move, release and awaken the fire within.

Then, through Sound Healing, we slow down, soften and allow ourselves to be held by sound.

From movement to stillness. From expression to surrender. From darkness towards light.

An evening for women and men who are ready to experience something deeper than the everyday.

 

There is something meaningful about this moment. We live in a world that constantly asks us to move forward, stay productive, remain positive and keep going. But there are times when what we need is not to push harder, but to turn inward. To meet ourselves where we are. To allow what has been held inside to move.

This evening is an invitation to do exactly that.

First, we move. Then, we surrender.

We will begin with a guided Trance Dance, led by Wen-Wei.

Through movement, rhythm and an intentional journey inward, you will be invited to let go of habitual patterns, loosen what has become stuck and reconnect with the instinctive intelligence of your body.

This is not about dancing beautifully or getting the steps right. There is no choreography to follow and nothing to perform.

It is about allowing the body to speak. To move with what is present. To meet the fire within you, even in the darkest places.

From movement, we will gradually transition into stillness.

Agata will then guide you through an immersive Sound Healing journey.

Lying down, with nothing more required of you, you will be held by the sounds and vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs and other instruments. Where the dance invites you to release through movement, sound offers an opportunity to soften, receive and integrate.

You don’t need to find anything or make anything happen.

Allow yourself to rest in the darkness for a while. To be held by sound, to listen deeply and to make space for whatever needs to settle.

Perhaps this is where you begin to notice your own light.

 

   

The intention

This is not an evening about forcing positivity or trying to become someone different.

It is about making room for the whole of your experience.

The fire and the stillness. The intensity and the softness. The darkness and the light.

We are not here to fight the darkness. We are here to discover what it can reveal.

An evening to move, release, rest and return to yourself.

FAQ

Do I need previous experience with Trance Dance or Sound Healing?

No previous experience is needed. Both practices are open to beginners as well as those who are already familiar with movement, meditation or sound healing. You don’t need to know how to dance or have any particular skills. Simply come with an openness to experience.

What is Trance Dance?

Trance Dance is an embodied movement practice that uses music, rhythm and free movement to support self-expression and inner exploration.

Rather than following choreography or learning specific steps, you are invited to move in your own way, allowing your body to lead. There is no right or wrong way to participate. You can move gently, energetically or remain still whenever you need to.

What happens during the Sound Healing?

After the dance, you will be invited to settle down and rest comfortably while Agata guides you through a sound journey using crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums and other instruments.

The sounds and vibrations create an opportunity to slow down, release tension and enter a state of deep relaxation. There is nothing you need to do or achieve. You can simply lie down, listen and receive.

Is this event suitable for both women and men?

Yes. This evening is open to everyone, regardless of gender or previous experience with these practices. We welcome anyone who feels drawn to explore movement, sound and a deeper connection with themselves.

Do I need to be physically fit or know how to dance?

Not at all. Trance Dance is not a fitness class or a dance performance. You are encouraged to move within your own physical possibilities and respect your body’s limits. You can always slow down, pause or sit out whenever you need to.

What should I wear and bring?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. We recommend bringing:

• A water bottle.

• Comfortable, warm clothing or layers for the sound journey.

• Socks, if you prefer not to dance barefoot.

• Anything small that helps you feel comfortable while resting, such as an eye pillow.

Please arrive ready to begin, as we would like to start together on time.

Can I participate if I have never experienced a sound bath?

Absolutely. You don’t need to know anything about sound healing. Simply allow yourself to experience the sounds in your own way. Some people feel deeply relaxed, others notice emotions, sensations or thoughts. Every experience is different.

Is it possible to feel emotional during the session?

Yes. Movement and sound can sometimes bring up emotions, memories or physical sensations. There is no expectation to feel anything in particular, and you are never required to share your experience with the group. You are invited to meet whatever arises at your own pace and within your own boundaries.

Are there any contraindications?

Trance Dance involves movement and can be physically and emotionally intense. If you have a medical condition, an injury, are pregnant, or have concerns about participating, please contact us before booking so we can discuss whether the experience is suitable.

Sound healing may also require additional consideration for people with sound sensitivity, tinnitus, epilepsy or certain neurological or psychiatric conditions. Please let us know about any relevant concerns in advance.

What if I need to take a break during the session?

You are always welcome to adapt your participation to what feels right for you. You can reduce the intensity of your movement, pause or rest. Listening to your own boundaries is an important part of the experience.

What time should I arrive?

We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes before the start so you have time to settle in. The journey begins at 18:00 and we ask everyone to arrive on time to avoid interrupting the group experience.

What is the cancellation policy?

[Add your booking and cancellation policy here.]

What should I bring?

Come in comfortable clothes that allow you to lie down for an extended period.

You may also want to bring:

• a water bottle
• a blanket or warm layer
• comfortable clothes for dancing
• an eye mask
• a journal, if you like to write afterwards

Most importantly, bring curiosity and give yourself permission not to have a particular experience.
