Dear beautiful people, We’re excited to step into the New Year together with a special evening of movement and sound! Frank Lee Döllinger will open the space, joining us from Berlin, followed by a DJ Set by DJ Colibri (Guy Barrington) traveling from Prague. The night will gently settle with a closing soundjourney by Linda Licht. ________________________________________________________________ 17:30 Arriving in Silence: We ask you to come onto the dancefloor in silence to prepare for the journey ahead 18:00 Opening Circle by Daniel Schatzdorfer and Wolf Berg 18:15 Dance Introduction by Frank Lee Döllinger The evening will be opened through play, presence, and embodied freedom. Drawing on the timeless wisdom of the Joker archetype, the facilitation gently dissolves rigidity and seriousness, creating a light yet grounded entry into movement. Through curiosity, humor, and awareness, the space is set for a dance journey rooted in authenticity, connection, and joy. https://dancing-frank-lee.com/ 18:45 DJ Set by DJ Colibri aka Guy Barrington With over 30 years of experience in conscious dance and evolutionary awareness practices, Guy weaves lived wisdom from shamanism, tantra, meditation, energy work, martial arts, and grounded creative self-expression into his facilitation and DJ sets. His approach supports an embodied, present, and empowering dance floor experience - inviting participants into depth, flow, and authentic movement. https://www.youtube.com/@DjColibri https://www.mixcloud.com/guybarrington/ 21:00 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: 25-50€, pay as much as you can! ______________________________________________________________________ What is our Intention with creating the local Ecstatic Dance here in Vienna? 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.
