The musical journeys she creates are from atmospheric organic tunes across all genres and cultural influences to more technoid and trance music. The main emphasis in the music journeys is very tribal and ethnic, especially to give voice to native peoples. "My love is to bring people to journey into the roots and reconnection with our inner nature and origin to the pure liberation and ecstasy of breaking through, letting go and be dissolved into the dance. Music and dance as remembrance " Animatina (Magika|Austria) https://soundcloud.com/atina-2 https://linktr.ee/animatina Animatina’s Set will be featuring live vocals by Teresa Gabriel, who will also share some celestial charango songs at the end of the set. Teresa Gabriel is a medicine musician singer/songwriter, music teacher, sound healer, workshop facilitator and ceremony musician who sees the voice and sound as a shamanic tool and a portal for opening and empowering ourselves and connecting to unity consciousness and timelessness. www.instagram.com/teresagabrielmusic 20:45 Live Sound Journey with Linda Licht "Music is my medicine! Soul-wisdom, put in Words. Hearts wisdom, shared in vibration. With intention to open this space of love and warmth, of feeling and allowing. To guide deep within. To find this peaceful place of connection where we are home." 21:15 Ending Circle and then Open Space 22:00 Official End Suggested Donation: 22-45€, pay as much as you can!

To provide a „Sacred space“ for inner and outer movement. A Space where we connect to ourselves through Dance, Meditation and Prayer. A space where it is welcome to be you in all of your glory – in all of your aspects, seen and unseen. It is a space where transformation, relief or an emotional process can happen. Of course, none of that must happen. Just know that it can and that the space welcomes it. It's a place to float in trance, to go on your own inner dance journey. It's a place to explore how I relate to myself and the other – each encounter can be a practice of mindfulness. Do I judge, do I try to please, am I authentic in my presence and how does it feel when I am not? And, it's a place to dance, of course. The variety of expression of movement is infinite. We invite you to express all that you feel through your movement! It's a place to roll on the ground, jump, be crazy, have fun, laugh, cry and be. We believe that dance is a universal language which can bring us closer together as a human family! We as a community are consciously co-creating and holding that space together. We as the initiators are giving our best to keep the space clear and clean. We want to create the most amazing dancefloor that is possible – together with you. Please, be a part of it. And please, respect the space! The most important guidelines: No talking on the dancefloor, No alcohol and no drugs, No movies or pictures, Respect your own space and that of each other. This video sums it up quite well:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTnRHkMChbI
