In 2008, when her doctoral dissertation on spirit possession & psychiatry was unraveling her sanity, she discovered Ecstatic Dance Oakland. Ecstatic Dance became a non-negotiable Sādhanā, her spiritual practice to get down and right with herself, her community, and the Universe. Back in Berlin in 2010, VESICA co-founded Ecstatic Dance Berlin, the first sister to Ecstatic Dance Oakland. As a DJ, she ’s been invited to play many of the ecstatic dances across Europe and US, from Ibiza, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Moscow, to Salt Lake City, Los Angeles and Nevada City to name a few. VESICA is a dancers’ DJ with a predilection for soulful organic world beats and scrumptious global bass. Her sultry funky style will irresistibly move your feet and hips into a deep embodied journey of dance and transformation.
