The Sacred Sessions Ecstatic Dance

The Sacred Sessions ✨
Not just dance.
A journey.
A release.
A homecoming.

We begin by setting the container for the highest possible journey, accompanied by the deeply moving live soundscapes of Chris Lane — weaving soulful guitar and bansuri flute to open the space and guide us inward. Through gentle pranayama, the mind softens, the body awakens, and the spirit begins to stir.

We then drop into a live DJ set by AnJel — a global sonic journey weaving organic electronica, deep bass, Afro, Latin and Middle Eastern rhythms, dub textures, psychedelic edges and revisited throwbacks. Expect tribal drums, worldly melodies and beats that feel both primal and futuristic. Music to awaken the body, open the heart and move as one tribe.

No choreography. No performance. Just pure, honest expression. This is where transformation happens — where movement becomes meditation, release becomes joy, and you remember your innate freedom and wholeness.

When the rhythms dissolve into stillness, you’ll rest in a healing soundscape of live instruments and voice by Chris Lane and AnJel — wrapped in vibration, held in peace, integrated and renewed.

Community tea and connection after!

Bring yourself exactly as you are.
The rest will unfold! 💫
