Conscious Dance • Silent Disco• Nature • Fire
Held by Sophie Bolton and Andy Raingold
Friday 27th June (gathering from 6pm, dance starts at 7pm) at Loveland, Penryn
Step into the wild heart of summer with this special Thrive in Nature Solstice celebration of “We Are the Cosmic Dance”, guided by the luminous Sophie Bolton - founder of Dancing in Nature and an amazing conscious dance facilitator from the UK’s vibrant ecstatic dance scene. This is not just a dance. It’s a remembering. A return to the earth and the greater rhythm we all belong to — that timeless dance of being human.
The Journey We Will Take You On
Arrive at a beautiful outdoor spot, greeted by a warm, open circle of fellow dancers gathered around a fire. The scent of summer on the breeze, the crackle of flames and the gentle presence of the land invite you to drop in. Then, with a wireless headset, let a live DJ set carry you on a deep, spacious movement journey. Crafted in the moment and woven with tender, intuitive vocal guidance, Sophie will support you in coming home to your body. There’s no choreography, no pressure, no performance - just you, the music, and the elements.
Whether you dance alone or in connection with others, you’re invited to move in a way that’s real for you. To explore your edges, your joy, your stillness, your wild. As the sun dips low and the dance comes to a close, we return to the fire. A moment to reflect and be in community.

Thrive in Nature
This is the third Thrive in Nature workshop, a two-year project supported by The National Lottery Community Fund.
Every six weeks, at key seasonal turning points, we’ll gather for immersive workshops designed to deepen our connection to nature, community and creativity. Expect songs, storytelling, creative writing, personal enquiry, deep nature connection, and plenty of laughter - all based on donation (99p-£15).
Come and be part of this journey! Join our WhatsApp group here to be kept in the loop.
We look forward to thriving in nature with you! 🌱✨
