πŸ•‰ GOA ECSTATIC FESTIVAL 2023 πŸ•‰ πŸ‘‰ Registration: bit.ly/RegistrationGoaEDFest2023 ✨ VIDEO & PHOTO bit.ly/PhotosGoaEcstaticFestival2020 bit.ly/GoaEcstaticFestVideo2019 DEAR HUMAN BEING, Wow! The World has changed since we last celebrated dance & community in Goa. We all have changed and so has Arambol. What is left of what has been? The truth is we don't know. What we do know: We will go, find out and create something meaningful together. Pre-pandemic we have experienced that Arambol is a place where we can connect in beauty, dance with life and transform deeply. Individually and together as a family. Our intention is to reconnect to that spirit. Now is the time: After not doing the Goa Ecstatic Dance Festival for 2 years, we feel ready to go back to Arambol in 2023. To co-create on the magic beach one more time. Going forward and dancing in all directions with curiosity, a beginners mind and an open heart. Let's be together and support each other with awareness and community: At the … … GOA ECSTATIC DANCE FESTIVAL, 10-15 January 2023 PROGRAM πŸ•‰ DJ & Live Music πŸ•‰ Ecstatic Dance πŸ•‰ Contact Improv πŸ•‰ Signing Circles πŸ•‰ Yoga πŸ•‰ Bodywork πŸ•‰ 5Rhythms πŸ•‰ Water Dance πŸ•‰ Body Percussion πŸ•‰ Cacao Ceremony πŸ•‰ Radikal Flow πŸ•‰ Active Meditation LINEUP (more to be announced!) πŸ•‰ Esta Polyesta (DJ) πŸ•‰ Ben Pavlidis (DJ) πŸ•‰ Arun Ji (DJ) πŸ•‰ Pascal de Lacaze (DJ) πŸ•‰ Gary Gagarin (DJ) πŸ•‰ Marsy Gagarin (Ceremony Leader) πŸ•‰ Vega Luukkonen πŸ•‰ Yamuna Devi (Yoga) πŸ•‰ Anisha Melody (Singing Circles) πŸ•‰ Pilar Echavarria (Water Dance) πŸ•‰ Sudevi Sundari (5Rhythms) πŸ•‰ Volker Eschmann (Contemporary Storytelling) This unique ecstatic adventure happens at Forgotten Land, with a dance floor and a restaurant in front of the ocean, in Arambol Beach. Surrounded by palm treesβ€”with our bare feet in the sand, enjoying sunsets, delicious organic Indian food, and a juicy international community of dancers and artists. PLACE Arambol, Goa, is an international melting pot of musicians, artists, dancers and spiritual seekersβ€”coming together every season to celebrate the here and now. FOOD The Forgotten Land kitchen prepares healthy vegetarian meals for us during breakfast, lunch and dinner. All three meals are included in the festival ticket. We guarantee a hygienic kitchen. Participants are encouraged to stay together for the meals to bond with the group. ACCOMMODATION Accommodations are not included in the festival ticket. Beach huts, rooms, and apartments are easy to find for a reasonable price. SUSTAINABILITY We work closely with Indian locals and we eat Goan food and we invite Indian nationals for a reduced ticket. A portion of the ticket price goes to reduce our carbon footprint. And we are establishing programs to reduce waste and strengthen the local community. Please stay! Rather than coming for a short-time visit we encourage you to stay for the whole season of events in January 2023, as there will be many offerings at our festival hub Forgotten land. This is an opportunity to immerse ourselves not only in the GOA ECSTATIC DANCE FESTIVAL and the GOA CONTACT FESTIVAL, but also other festivals, partys, jams, and trainings for the whole month of January. The more we get involved, the stronger the support of the local and international communities. Let's do this. Together. REGISTER NOW: bit.ly/RegistrationGoaEDFest2023
