Medicine dance is every 3rd Friday of the Month

The Medicine Dance is a beautiful, meticulously crafted Dance Journey with a vocal transmission that transports you into the realms of your inner world where healing, wonder and wisdom await.
The Journey is a Shamanic soundscape crafted from many genres, from tribal to trance, folk to funky house, drum and bass to big band, dance hall to church hall. What connects them all is the frequency of love and authenticity.
It is the most incredible honour to hold these dance spaces to unite in a sacred, deep, and joyful way
These dances are a deep somatic journey into all that needs to be explored, released and reclaimed. They are always so powerful in person but to be able to experience this from my own living room was just as profound. It’s something that can’t be put into words and just needs to be experienced.
– Kirsty Gallagher
“Lou’s medicine dance is something else. It is a beautiful mix of ceremony, embodied dance, prayer, shamanism, and activating the new earth codes. It’s a whole body and spirit revival. The music is entrancing, penetrating, and emotive. I’ve attended ecstatic dance tonnes of times worldwide, and this is up there with the very best of them, but with the added benefit of it being utterly unique and blessed with Lou’s special magic.” Sherrin
“So in awe for the power of your music – I looooved it!!!! – and so much gratitude for the forgotten medicine coming to a whole new life tonight – wuuuhuuu I am flying”
“As a fellow creative and dancer/teacher, I am fully aware of how much effort goes into making something like this flow with such ease. I loved your true authentic vibe; I can see this is your true vocation, bringing souls together with your passions.” – Jen
A tribe where I truly feel my authentic self and where I can be with no judgement. the community and love you have created is magical. I’m unsure how to put it into words but the connection I feel to the earth and the peace I feel in myself since finding medicine dance. thank you for being the beautiful guiding light that you are and I can’t wait for the next time xx – Jess
I began running Ecstatic Dance/Sober Ravers in early 2018 on Sunday mornings, and then I began to create a more sacred and inward dance journey weekly on Thursday mornings.

In 2020, I held the dances online via Zoom, and people worldwide joined. As we came out of the lockdowns, I held the dances with sacred fire ceremonies, retreats, and events. We danced by the wild, rivers, sacred woods, sacred sites, and even the desert.
In 2021, I was invited to bring the dances to the festivals. I began at Oshala, and since been on the main stage at wasing for the Wellness Way Festival and the wellness tents at Boomtown Festival.

Alongside the Medicine dances, I do many Earth Grid Dance Activations online and on sacred lands. Online and on the lands – we did a huge Autumn Equinox dance activation on Mt Sinai – Egypt and over 100 people joined us all over the world on Zoom and 7 of us danced on the mountain – sadly no photos – as we were all deep in a portal!!!
And you will see various dances pop up when the earth calls – so keep an eye out!
