EDB combines the worlds of Ecstatic Dance, diverse dance music and sound system culture with prayer, mindfulness and ritual. 

Using the practice of Ecstatic Dance we create a held space for you to express, expand and experience rejuvenation through movement, dance and sound.

The experience is a modern day ritual where the communion of people, movement and sound serve as mediums for transformation, liberation and soul invigorating celebration.

Our community gatherings are sober and suitable for all ages, abilities and people.

Come as you are. Dance as you please. Be your uniqueness.

DJ Aybien | Ecstatic Dance

Fresh from DJing and facilitating regular Ecstatic Dances in Bali, London based DJ Aybien ventures to Bristol for his debut with EDB.

Aybien is a renowned Ecstatic Dance DJ who plays at different conscious festivals and events across Ukraine, Egypt, Bali and London. In 2021 he founded Tantric Ecstatic and runs regular Ecstatic Dance sessions in his hometown.

His approach to music is very deep and diverse; from meditative songs to Organic House, Folktronica, Downtempo, World; and percussive and shamanic infused EDM. Every song has a unique rhythmic character that serves as a powerful instrument to connect people passionately to their hearts.

Ella Aranyani | Sound Journey

Ella Aranyani is a passionate singer, songwriter and musician. She creates Sound Journeys using her ethereal voice as her most powerful instrument for healing and activation within herself and others as she sings, tones, and channels. She creates a meditative yet igniting atmosphere. Her intention is to bring others into peace and presence; to their essence and heart, remembering their innate power.
