ECSTATIC DANCE w/ DJ OSARA
Ecstatic Dance is free-form dance - a movement meditation which brings awareness of mind, body, heart and soul through dance, movement and expression. Ecstatic Dance is a safe, held and sacred space for you to dance, move, release, express, connect with yourself and others, relax, let go and unwind. It can be fun, deep, uplifting, ecstatic, liberating and so much more. It takes place over a 2 hour live DJ set. The DJ takes you on a dance journey through different energies, genres and tempos.
DJ OSARA is an international Ecstatic Dance DJ and the founder of Ecstatic Dance Bristol. He's been a conscious dance DJ since 2017 and has roots in underground dance music, African drumming and sacred sound. He deeply loves DJ'ing his favourite, latest sounds and bringing people together in such a deep, fun and uplifting way. With such an eclectic taste in music every DJ set he plays is totally unique.

SOUND BATH w/ Pang Orchestra
We finish with a sublime sound bath to ground and land after the Ecstatic Dance. We're super excited to have Chris Baron and company of Pang Orchestra sharing their sacred and healing sounds of Hang, Gubal, Urga and other instruments developed by the original makers of @Hang. Pang Orchestra is a social sound sculpture - a new development of the original Hang and the musical heritage of PANArt Hang.

All their products are super high quality and 100% organic: CBD chocolate, hemp tea, CBD hot chocolate, flapjacks and more (prices available on the day).

- the dance floor is a non-verbal space
- the dance floor is a phone free space
- this is a drug and alcohol free event
