An Ecstatic Journey through Bodyart Making and Movements

Get high (naturally) with our own supply, our bodies! Have you ever wanted to make art and express but didn’t know where to begin? Is there any inner voice telling you to go deeper to your authentic creative flow, your life force, or simply enjoying creating something that you like? It’s time to call for the artist within you, using our most intimate, intuitive and connected supply - body painting on our own and each other’s body (with consent) combined with empowered movements. No previous art experience required, as everyone is an artist.

Join us (Ecstatic DJ Leela and Artist Leila) for an inner, healing yet expressive journey on Saturday night, May 6 from 19-21 (with the powerful yet restorative New Moon energy). It's in the beautiful private space of Kokopelli overlooking the canal water in Amsterdam center. We had success already making bodyart together at Het Grote Fijn and In Retrait music Festival last year, and feeling positive this time!

We will take you on a journey to 'travel' through waves of lives, from connecting with the safe spot within you, to different layers of patterns, lines, colours and highlights through movements and live music. This liberating yet joyful creation process will be guided by DJ Leela and Leila giving enough space for your own ecstatic and free expressions, enhanced by a live sound journey with live music and instruments. Trust yourself and the process, express and have fun! Where it will a beautiful and powerful night of trusting, releasing, showing yourself, expressing, connecting and resting together with feeling authenticity, self-love and aliveness going through.

Note: please wear cloth that does NOT cover the parts of your body where you like to receive bodypaint (you decide where). All paints are washable easily and body/skin-friendly. You are very welcome to take your own 'bodyart' with you home and admire later as well ;)

DJ Leela and artist Leila are a team. It seems no coincidence that they met at an event where Awareness & Exploration were the main ingredients. Both names are derived from Sanskrit as “In our daily experience, embracing the dance of life with a hint of playfulness, including the waves of bright & dark matters and sunshine & rain…” They feel privileged to weave their creativity and experience into both their love-life and by offering their services as a team to you.
