ECSTATIC DANCE FESTIVAL EUROPE - The Ashram Journey Retreatival 3 days

THE ASHRAM JOURNEY - RETREATIVAL EUROPE first edition ✨⚭✨ With The Ashram Journey - Retreatival Europe we turn with Ecstatic Dance and Yoga to the ground of the essence of what both practices originally are: a journey to your inner Self. Before the spring breaks through we gather in the dark time of the year at the Ashram Journey for the transformative Retreatival Journey blending the introspective practice of yoga with the liberating, expressive experience of Ecstatic Dance. This immersive experience invites you to connect with your bodies, minds, and spirits through movement, meditation, embodiment workshops and community. Join us in a unique spiritual Ashram setting with our inspiring Dj-Trio: Iradi (NL), Caroline S' Jegers (Belgium) and Martyn Zij (NL). The dancer Tom Goldhand is at the heart of our festival where we prepare in community for the renewal of spring.
