What we’re about
Welcome to the Childfree by choice Friends in Sheffield meetup! This group is primarily for people aged 30-49 (but we aren't that strict, if you are child free in your 20s or 50s and like the events, come along!). This is not a dating meet up!!!!
This group is a safe space to make friends, if you want to talk to people, please come to events, do not direct message them. Any inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated. Please ensure you join the group before attending. Events are for members only!!!
We gather to enjoy conversations over food, drinks in adult venues. We explore the arts and entertainment scene, and soaking up different cultural experiences. Connect with fellow members who enjoy coffee catch ups during the week, staying out late and lazy Sundays because we can.
This group is for people who chose not to be parents and don't have to orient their lives around children or young people. We have open conversations about being childfree by choice - nobody has to share their reasons of course. This is primarily our space and should be respected. Thanks for understanding.
This group is still inclusive, but some parents or people who are childless not by choice may find it isn't for them. No under 18s are allowed for obvious reasons. if you have any questions or concerns or suggestions for events, drop me (Kerry) a message.

Ecstatic Dance
Highfield Trinity Methodist Church : Highfield, 11 Holland Place, Sheffield, GBI go to these events regularly, and it would be fab to bring along some new people. The venue is in a church, but this is not a religious event; it's just a great location for acoustics and space to move. I've popped more information below, but it's basically a sober rave - the most fun exercise class you will ever do. I'll figure out meet-up arrangements closer to the time. Feel free to message if you have any other questions. Here's the link to get a ticket once you are ready
#### What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement journey and moving meditation that’s sweeping the world !! Guided by a live DJ, we flow through an epic soundscape of all genres: fast and slow, classical to psytrance, drum and bass to dub - no style is off-limits! The music moves in waves; starting gently, building to vibrant peaks, and ending in stillness.
There are no steps, no judgment, no need to perform - just pure, free expression. We generally dance barefoot, without talking, in a sober, mindful space where respect and presence create a safe container. Ecstatic Dance is transformative, playful, and deeply liberating. It releases stress, boosts endorphins, and connects us to community, ourselves, and even a higher source. It can truly one of the most magical experiences life has to offer!13 attendees
