Welcome to our third year of this special journey!
Connecting with our Full Selves through Movement, Intimacy & Presence, with an emphasis on Embodied Movement practices that welcome us as we are, to find our way with Care and Compassion, and with the support of the Community, Sharing Circles, Saunas and Nature!
Our Part 2 Solstice edition welcomes those who have some experience of working with consent and boundaries, intimacy and movement. We would ask that you have either been to one of our Moving with Intimacy events in the past, or a similar kind of event that has a focus on exploring intimacy with consent. In any case, the structure of the weekend will guide us through a journey that supports us in practicing to identify and work within our own and other's boundaries and to follow our heart's desires whilst respecting and honouring our truths so that we each can be at choice and take the time and space we need to be gentle with ourselves and each other. The difference between this weekend and Part 1 is that we may move a little more quickly through various more introductory consent practices and allow more space for developing connections and practices that offer a slightly deeper dive into intimacy, whilst always at choice and always with care.
Brought to you by the Organisers of Rumble and Moving Connections!
Welcome to this unique and heartfelt offering inviting us to spend a full weekend together, exploring and unravelling our layers through movement, sharing, ritual and tenderness, so that we can blossom and bathe in a sensual bath of delight, knowing there is always a sanctuary, always space for tears, for silence, for love and for pain also.
Welcoming our team of Facilitators, DJs, Musicians and Space Holders!

Our June events this year have been extended to include Sunday evening and Monday morning, giving us more time to connect and lay foundations for us to build a sense of trust and containment once we're together as a community onsite. We ask all guests, staff and crew to stay until Monday lunchtime so we can honour the full time and depth of the journey we are taking together. Thank-you!

About Julia, the organiser
Julia is the creator and manager of Rumble festival, a conscious dance event that combines many different forms of movement and therapeutic practices that enable us to explore our inner and outer worlds in a safe and supportive environment.
Julia's work is inspired by various movement systems such as 5 Rhythms, Contact Improvisation and Ecstatic Dance through which she has been developing her own experience and understanding of dance, connection and the power of movement to bring us into the present moment and explore our relationship to ourselves and our world. She is passionate about creating community in the simplest and most accessible way, welcoming all that we bring and encouraging authentic and open relating in all it's forms.
Gender Balancing
Whilst we are not specific about who we connect with during any of the exercises or sessions, we feel it's lovely to create a sense of balance at this event AND all expressions of identification / non-identification with genders are welcomed and celebrated.
If you are attending as a couple or in an intimate connection with someone else or others in the group, please have a conversation together, to explore what the boundaries of your connection/s are. This will support you both/all to drop into a place of safety within the group context. If you are unsure what this means, then feel free to get in touch.
Alcohol and Drugs
This weekend event is alcohol and drug free. Thank-you for your care to hold this safe space together.
Our Container
To help us create a safe container for guests, crew and facilitators also, we will ask everyone to sign up to a simple contract that will specify our requirements around boundaries and consent, confidentiality, filming and photography and any other relevant needs for this event. Exact details on ticket purchase - Please read and ensure you agree to this contract before buying your tickets. Thank-you for your support.
Choice
Please respect everyone's choice for physical contact or connection. We are all free to choose with who, when and how we'd like to connect and we ask everyone to listen carefully and trust each other to say "no". We appreciate a "no" as a gift of honesty and self-care.
Thank-you for being you and for being brave and showing up!

We can offer a few lower-priced tickets for those who are not in a position to afford the Standard price. Please get in touch if you'd like more info on those. Thanks so much.
