Bridge Farm Tandav: Ecstatic Dance, Sound Journey & Sacred Fire

Shiva's dance is known as the 'Tandav' and it is often associated with the cosmic cycles of creation, preservation and destruction. 

Inspired by his time in India, DJ Archelon has orchestrated an exclusive evening of sonic wizardry. 

Joined in collaboration in back to back DJ sets with ONEFLOW of Ecstatic Beats bringing the hard hitting, BASS heavy tracks.

Live music provided by Rythem Ranger on the drums & Ethereal Echoes making a debut performance on Native American Flute.

Eva Millauer - Embodiment as the One Heart will be setting an invocation before the dance. 

The Ecstatic Dance will be followed by a sound journey lead by Bonsaii Being.

After the dance join us around the sacred fire.

What is Ecstatic Dance? 

Sober, Spiritual Raves where the DJ's and collaborating musicians co-create sonic soundscapes and spaces in which the dancer is free to explore their full range of expression through movement.

It is a process through which you can reach a natural state of ecstasy through dance. 

The connection to the music through movement can enable extended periods of flow state where you can leave your logic brain behind and fully enter and explore the more artistic, creative and playful element of your nature.  

Ecstatic Dance Guidelines

To create a safe container for these dances there are several guidelines that are essential to uphold.

• Be Sober  - Ecstatic Dance is a sober, alcohol & drug free practice.
• Be Embodied - No talking on the dance floor.
• Be Present - No phones and no cameras.
• Be Barefoot - We dance barefoot for better connection to the ground, socks and dance shoes are allowed though.
• Be Consensual - Respect boundaries & personal space, if it's not a clear yes then it's a no.
• Be Free - Dance how you want, fully express yourself without judgement.
