©2024 ECSTATIC DANCE
My MUsic
I don’t just play music – I provide a full ritual experience of Ecstatic Dance.
I bring my extensive experience of Yoga, Tantra, Mindfulness, Sacred Sexuality, coaching, personal development and workshop facilitation into the whole event.
I play the warm-up music so it’s harmonious with the rest of the evening, and so it inspires people into the right state.
I hold the opening circle and 15-20 minutes of exercises which connect people to their own body, to their higher/deeper/true self, to the present moment, and to others in the space.
During the dance journey, I weave together devotional, organic and electronic music from all over the world into music journeys that invoke the mystic, the lover and the animal within us.
I include more slower and sensual tracks, and usually participants share that they felt safe to dance with others and there was much more partnered-dance than usual.
