About this Event

"We have come to gather In circle, open and wide" - Caroline S'Jegers ECSTATIC DANCE & SINGING CEREMONY Live music · Song circle · Dance journey · LEUVEN (BE) guided by Caroline S’Jegers and guest: • 29 March - Annemie Maes • 17 May - Mitsch Kohn • 28 June - Suyana Sunday Pulse is a guided ceremonial journey where we gather in song and dance, and move together into a deeper connection with ourselves and each other. ​As you arrive, you are first welcome to gather in our cosy tea lounge downstairs. Here we share simple soup and bread, lovingly prepared by Annemie Maes. Those who wish are welcome to bring a small snack to share. ​Sunday Pulse then continues in a circle around our candlelit altar under the guidance of Caroline S’Jegers. Together we arrive, bring our attention into the ceremonial space, and set an intention for ourselves, for one another, and for the wider world we are part of. ​Live music then deepens our journey, each time with a special guest musician, inviting us to open our voices together. ​As the dance floor opens, Caroline holds the movement journey, inviting you deeper into expression. Within the shared agreements of the space, the dance unfolds together - supported by music, silence, poetry, our voices, and the shared presence of the circle. ​We close in silence and a short sharing, allowing what has been touched here to gently ripple outward into the world. ​You are warmly welcome. THE ARTISTS HOLDING THE SPACE * Caroline S’Jegers is the founder of PULSE, a movement artist, dance anthropologist, mother, and the first female ecstatic dance DJ in Europe. She holds the full arc of the evening, shaping the journey through her DJ set and spoken words. With years of experience holding dance floors and guiding group journeys, she guides us to remember and express who we are. * Annemie Maes loves bringing people together through music and singing. She is the mother of three children and carries a deep love for people, creativity, and gathering. For many years, she was a host at Drogenhof, until the place was lost in a large fire. In the years since, music has been her support. This Sunday, she will guide the song circle with her voice, guitar and harmonium, and prepare the soup and food we share together. * 17 May: Mitsch Kohn is an intuitive pianist, singer and facilitator working in the field of authentic voice. Through improvisation, music and presence he opens spaces where we can reconnect with our natural voice and expression. * 28 June: Suyana (Veerle Kumpen) has been connected to music since childhood, where her voice became a path of healing. She now shares her voice through singing circles and workshops, inviting connection and presence.
