A Full Moon Morning Celebration through Somatic Movement, Dance and Meditation
We invite you to celebrate the Full Moon in Aquarius as it rises on the morning of Saturday 9th August through breathwork, movement, dance and guided meditation. Following the Lion’s Gate Portal the day before, this is a magical time to clarify your intentions, release stagnant energy and clear space for all you wish to call in.
Ondance is a somatic movement experience designed to guide you on a transformative journey through three stages. Led by Actress and Yoga Instructor Margarida Pialgata, each step unfolds to the rhythm and energy of the music, carefully selected and mixed by DJ and Music Producer, Channel 11.
Tickets: €35, available at: https://www.praia-irmao.com/playground (select the 9th August on the bookings calendar)
THE ONDANCE JOURNEY PROGRAMME
We will welcome you from 8am for the event to commence at 8.30am (please arrive at least 10-15 minutes before).
8:30 - 9:00 am: Opening Circle
An Opportunity to Connect with Each Other and Within
We commence with an Opening Circle in which each participant is invited to share something they wish to release or call in. Through holding space and time for each other, connection is sparked and intentions become all the more powerful.
Breathwork Practice
Margarida guides the circle of participants through a conscious breathing practice, centering the body and mind, creating openness for what is to come.
9:00 - 10:30 am: Flow
Somatic Movement Release and Free-Flowing Dance
As the music unfolds, we warm up with Margarida’s gentle guidance in nourishing movement, eventually giving way to individual creative expression through free-flowing dance.
Following practices inspired by the ancestral tradition of healing and energetic cleansing, the fluid movements invite the release of tension and emotions. The body is called to listen to itself and renew its internal energy, always in deep harmony with the ambient sound.
Let yourself be carried away by the music, surrendering to your expression, in a free, authentic, and non-judgmental dance. Each person finds their own rhythm to the rising beats, celebrates the body, allowing the energy to flow with ease and vitality.

10:30-11am: Closing Circle
Time to ground, share and integrate through deep relaxation and guided meditation.
The circle will form again. Each person is invited to share and reconnect. We then lie down on the warm sand and are guided through a relaxing meditation to ground our practice so we leave feeling lighter and freer to rise in the world beyond.dance floor.
A guided meditation helps anchor the experience, embrace everything that has emerged, and return you to the tranquillity of your centre and embody the high vibration of the music and the surrounding sound of the waves.
FURTHER INFORMATION:
The Role of Music:
Throughout the entire process, the DJ's multi-genre musical selection provides the unifying foundation.
Merging healing sound sequences, organic beats and upbeat rhythms, the DJ set creates the atmosphere: raising the vibration and signalling the transition between stages of the experience.
The music increases energy: it elevates the emotional state, drives movement and liberation.
Deepening the experience, it supports inner exploration and invites each person to celebrate their authentic expression.
What should you bring?
It is best to wear comfortable clothing that you feel free to move in. As we will be dancing on the sand, we encourage you to connect with the earth through barefoot movement. You are welcome to bring a beach towel if you would like to place that underneath you when we lie down for a guided meditation at the end.
Water and light refreshments will be provided. If you would like to book a table for lunch after the event, please visit Praia Irmão’s website at www.praia-irmao.com.
