Morning Ecstatic Dance Journey with Live Music by Madhu and Egeman

Three hours of live music on a gorgeous dance floor. We start with intentions, then ecstatically dance, and conclude with a sound healing.
About this Event

Madhu Anziani & Egemen Sanli are a dynamic musical duo, crafting mesmerizing uptempo music that draws inspiration from sacred texts. Their music has a unique and otherworldly quality, fueled by Madhu's singing, beatboxing, and looping skills, along with Ege's expertise in playing various world instruments such as sitar, Turkish saz, kopuz, handpans, and percussion instruments. Their music is perfectly suited both for inner journeys into expanded states as well as ecstatic dance.


We will begin with a circle of connection and intention setting to inform your dance and our music offering. Then we will take you on a dance journey into bliss. You are welcome to sit or lay down and journey inwards for portions during the dance. We will conclude with a sound healing blessing.


On the dance floor there will be no shoes and no talking. Conversations may be had on the edges around the room. We will treat the dancefloor as sacred space and respect each other's expressions of movement.
