We go on exploration, dare to be vulnerable and gently push our boundaries. There are three simple basic guidelines to ED: "No shoes. No booze. No chitchat." So we come together connecting our bare feet to the earth, purely communicating through our bodies, and celebrating life in all its aspects! We welcome you exactly as you are now! So you are entirely free to follow your own needs during the dance. Each ED starts and ends with a ceremony in which we make time and space to connect with ourselves, the others, the space, the vibrations, our intentions and the larger ED tribe. ▬▬▬▬▬ ★ PROGRAM ★ ▬▬▬▬▬ 19:00 Doors are open, welcome for warming up! 19:30 Opening Ceremony by Joris Peeters 20:00 Ecstatic Dance with Tikki Masala 22:00 Closing Ceremony Energy exchange: 15,00€ Ecstatic Dance is happening weekly on several places in Belgium.

About Tikki Masala After first traveling in India in 2005 , Tikki Masala was inspired by the deep flavors of authentic Indian classical music. in he's productions he blends together sounds of Indian classical instruments like Sitar, Tabla, Santoor, Sarod, Flute, Tanpura, Harmonium and Vocals ... with beats, synthesizers, drums and percussion. Recordings made across India from Bhajans, Kirtans, Mantras, street musicians, fellow travelers, jam sessions, concerts, nature and temple sounds are mixed together with psychedelic hypnotic electronic sounds, rhythms and bass lines. After some time the music evolved to world Beat, tribal, ethnic, Shamanic, Downtempo, Native Beat, fusion, dance music with influences from all over the world. He is playing a lot of he's creations at ecstatic dance events. The interest in dance became more present, when he discovered Ecstatic dance and other forms of dance, and found that dancing was so beneficial for the personal, emotional, physical and spiritual development, opening up and discovering the freedom and authenticity. There was a call to start organizing, holding space and play at ecstatic dance events in India, Thailand and Europe... And share with others, what was for him such a beautiful exploration and growing in the being through movement and Dance. https://tikkimasala1.bandcamp.com/ https://www.mixcloud.com/TikkiMasala/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/18kmBPrnYJRXfuxAq3QLum https://soundcloud.com/tikkimasala
