Ecstatic Dance with DJ Mystic Monkey @ Waha Festival

Come as you are, move as you wish. Bring your deepest intention, co-create a sacred space, immerse yourself in music, and unleash your wildest dance in celebration of the mystery of life. This invitation is for all the dance enthusiasts out there: Fairies, goddesses, and other magical beings Solo inner travelers Friends who equate fun with dancing Everyone seeking connection in a judgment-free and "woo-woo"-free environment, ready for a good sweat THE EXPERIENCE Ecstatic Dance is a journey of embodiment, calling for inner exploration through movement, authentic self-expression, and deep connection with yourself, others, and the Universe. It's a playground and a laboratory for those who believe bliss is found within, without chemical aids. Think of it as a vehicle to the divine and a temple where we worship through dance. THE MUSIC Prepare for a two-hour musical journey with DJ Mystic Monkey, designed to move the layers of your physical, mental, and emotional bodies. The music will inspire you to fully embody whatever is alive in you at the moment. Expect a wide spectrum of flavors, genres, and tempos from across continents, mirroring the natural rhythms of nature and the psyche—from stillness to ecstasy and back. Each song brings new movement possibilities, stimulating both inward dives and outward fusions. Listen to DJ Mystic Monkey's mixes here: https://www.mysticmonkey.eu/ THE WARM-UP Join our warm-up session guided by Cynthia Canela, a time to land in your own body, get familiar with the space, and greet others on the dance floor. We’ve prepared a set of exercises to help you transition from the bustling festival vibes into the non-verbal space, where you can hear your subtle inner murmur. THE SINGING CIRCLE At the end of your dance journey, open your heart and release your voice by joining Andra Vișan and her instruments in singing circle songs. It's not about being musical, having talent, or even sounding good, but about the practice of touching your heart through sound and vibration. The lyrics are easy to catch, and you may even hum along. Allow yourself the joy and liberation of singing! THE GUIDELINES Arriving without intoxicants allows you to experience natural euphoria, insights, and heart connections, maximising the benefits of your conscious dance practice. There is no talking on the dance floor, no photos, videos, phones, or perfume. We respect our own private space and the space of our fellow dancers, interacting on the dance floor only with clear consent through eye contact. Ideally, we dance barefoot.
