To support all of this to happen we will create a place with space for both the inward journey as for outer expression, contact with others and a lot of dance..! of course. ✨ Meet yourself ánd others in the dance. ✨ The festival consists of a 6 day retreat with dinners, workshops, performances, live music, yoga, massage, cacao ceremony, special concerts and healing area. In an intimate setting on a powerful and beautiful location. *** PROGRAM The core of the festival program consists of Ecstatic Dance and we’re adding just the right elements to deepen and enhance your event experience. We wish to take you on a journey - your journey, since every Ecstatic Dance will differ from the other. Our aim is to create a magical space for discovering dance-forms, connecting with others in new ways, experiencing healing touch, being part of intimate concerts and having acces to yogaclasses, breathing exercises and meditation.

CHILDREN Looking back at the first Ecstatic Dance festival Holland we are pleased with our decision that our festival will thrive more without our beloved offspring. Our experience has taught us the responsibilities involved when children participate in a festival. We realize that both parents and the organization may have to center too much on the well-being of our children and thereby loose focus on our main goal: realizing a most powerful festival. We thus invite all mums and dads to find a great solution for the kids and claim the necessary “me” time for some days. ORGANISATION The festival is organized by produced and promoted by Chocolate Club on behave of Salmagundi. With 10 Years of experience and strong crew with staff and creators we have cultivated the cherished dream of creating an intimate as well as encompassing festivals. CANCALLATION IF we have to cancel the event because events at the Berckt are not allowed we will have 3 options. - Use your ticket for 3 aug till 9 aug - Refund minus 5 % to cover our costs - Full refund GOOD TO KNOW When renting a room/ bed in the castle, bedlinnen is included.
