A Night of Ecstatic Dance where we honour the body and its divine expression through movement.NEW ARTIST ALERT: I am thrilled to announce my next collaboration with the multi talented artist DJ Josh Paul based in Charlotte NC.
Josh Paul is a passionate creator and curator of music that blends the spiritual with the sensorial. Josh’s musical journey is deeply rooted in the rhythms of Electronic Organic House and Afro House, where each beat and note is consciously chosen to enrich the soul and elevate the mind. By incorporating a diverse array of world instruments, Josh crafts a sound that transcends ordinary listening experiences, inviting listeners into realms of profound emotional and spiritual exploration.
Josh’s approach to music is a delicate balance of the “feminine” and “masculine” energies, creating a harmonious sound landscape that nurtures healing and transformation. As a Sound Alchemist, Josh is dedicated to the art of mixing electronic and organic sounds to not just entertain, but to facilitate a journey of inner discovery and communal celebration. This musical alchemy is not just about hearing, but about feeling, connecting, and healing.
Beyond just playing music, Josh strives to create spaces where individuals can come together to experience freedom and joy through movement. Josh’s events are more than just dance floors; they are sanctuaries where you can let go of your inhibitions, dive into the depths of your emotions, and emerge refreshed and empowered. These gatherings are designed to be safe, inclusive, and open to all who seek to explore the transformative power of music.
Josh is co-founder of ZenWithinAcademy, where he is deeply involved in the local and broader conscious movement scene. Josh’s music is a fixture at ecstatic dance events, yoga sessions, and holistic workshops, where he aims to provide soundscapes that enhance mindfulness and body awareness.
Whether you’re dancing to release stress, to find joy, or to connect with others on a similar path, Josh invites you to join him in this musical journey. Let’s embrace the rhythm, feel the beat, and dance our way to wellness and spiritual awakening. Together, we can create moments of magic, healing, and unforgettable connection through the power of music.
