Ecstatic Dance & Live Sound Journey

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.

Osara & Seagypsee | DJ & Ecstatic Dance Facilitators

Osara uniquely combines the worlds of diverse dance music and sound system culture with prayer, mindfulness and ritual, to create transformative dance journeys that are ever evolving and responding to the spirit of time, community, culture and place.

He loves to push the musical boundaries of Ecstatic Dance, taking the journey into the depths and to the edges, as well as exploring the full spectrum of energies and emotions. He finds inspiration from many sources; especially from underground dance music and the rich diverse music, sound system and club culture of the UK.

Osara has DJ’d and facilitated at Ecstatic Dances in Costa Rica, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Helsinki and Dallas to name a few. He has also DJed and led Ecstatic Dances at: Envision (Selva Armonia), Medicine, Boomtown, Lovejam, amongst others festivals. He is a resident DJ for Ecstatic Dance UK, London.

Snowdrop Sound | Sound Journey

Vocals, Crystal Bowls & Ableton Live

With Snowdrop Sound, Maia creates spaces for connection and healing through the magic and medicine of crystal singing bowls, selected and self-produced ambient music, and voice. She vocalises intuitively, drawing on echoes of Celtic folk melodies emanating from her ancestral and cultural roots. Using audio technologies and production tools, she holds open a portal to the healing power of the elements and wild natural places.

She works with quartz crystal singing bowls as ritual containers and transmitters of intention, with an enduring focus on the cultivation of love and self love. Drawing on her experience of earth-focused spiritual practices, energy work and mindfulness, she weaves these elements lovingly into hymns, laments and lullabies.
