    Welcome to another journey of self-exploration and connection with others in a safe space βœ¨

    We invite you to take a deep breath and rest from the constant flow of thoughts. Over the weekend we will set our minds aside to learn how to cultivate mindfulness in everyday life by using powerful tools. All that while being surrounded by beautiful nature and treating ourselves to healthy vegetarian food.

    It will be a peaceful time in the beautiful space of Spirit Farm (50 minutes drive from ReykjavΓ­k and 15 minutes from Selfoss).

    We will use the relaxing power of instruments such as Tibetan bowls, gong, koshi bells, kalimba, and more to help you reach a deeper state of consciousness where you can fully relax, let go, and look inwards. Our main focus is on meditation, breath, and direct contact with vibrations, sounds, and touch.

    Yoga class will focus on awareness of breath, body, and movement. You will start your day with a new energy feeling your body and noticing your mind. As it is a gentle yoga flow, all levels are welcome.

    We all carry an incredible power within, that can be unlocked by something as simple as breathwork. While lying on your back, you will be guided through dynamic breathing with a carefully curated playlist in the background. You are invited to welcome anything that might come to the surface on this energetic breathwork journey.

    Spending time in a sauna is a great way to release toxins through the skin, which is in fact the largest organ of the human body. The benefits of our cozy outdoor sauna will be enhanced by the benefits of aromatherapy, as we go for a little scent journey from uplifting scents to more grounded ones. Natural body scrub is included and a cold tub will be available.

    Together we will dive into a deep state of relaxation through guided meditation. This session will not involve physical movement but rather laying in stillness, resting, and surrendering completely as our brain wave pattern slowly shifts from Beta to more relaxed Alpha and Theta.

    We often live our lives internally disconnected as the external world takes over. In this session, we will reconnect with ourselves and fully immerse in our being. It’s time to feel, connect, and explore the internal world in a new way.

    Welcome, beautiful dancing people πŸŒžβœ¨,

    We’re excited to invite you into a space where movement meets freedom. This is your chance to let go, explore, and express yourself without judgment or expectation.

    Here, it’s all about being presentβ€”tuning into the music, connecting with your body, and moving in ways that feel natural and true to you. Whether it’s big, bold steps or quiet, subtle motions, every movement is welcome.

    πŸ”ΉπŸ”ΉπŸ”ΉπŸ”ΉπŸ”ΉπŸ”ΉπŸ”ΉπŸ”ΉπŸ”ΉπŸ”Ή

    Together, we’ll create a safe and open environment where you can unwind, recharge, and simply enjoy the joy of dancing. πŸ•ŠοΈ

    🌊 Ecstatic Dance: A Journey Through Movement and History πŸŒŠ

    Ecstatic Dance is a free-form, expressive dance practice that invites participants to connect deeply with their bodies, emotions, and the rhythm of music. Rooted in ancient traditions, it traces back to indigenous and spiritual rituals, where dance was a sacred act of celebration, healing, and connection to the divine. From the shamanic dances of Africa to the trance movements in Sufi practices, ecstatic dance has always been a universal language of freedom and self-expression. Today, it continues to honor its rich history by creating safe, non-judgmental spaces for individuals to explore movement, release energy, and experience profound joy and transformation

    🌌 The flow of the event πŸŒŒ

    πŸ§˜πŸΌπŸ§˜πŸ½β€β™€οΈWe will begin by coming together in a circle to connect with each other and sink into the space

    πŸ«β˜•οΈ*Ceremonial Cacao will be served to tune in into our hearts and our intentions

    🀸🏻The Ecstatic Dance journey begins! We will dance barefoot, without mobile phones and without talking to each other so we can just tune into our bodies.

    πŸͺΆAs we land slowly, Justyna will guide us into a serene sound bath, weaving the gentle tones of singing bowls and the deep, resonant vibrations of the gong. These healing sounds will help us integrate the energy of the dance, bringing us into a state of deep relaxation and harmony. Allow the waves of sound to wash over you, grounding you in the present moment and nurturing a sense of peace withinπŸ™πŸΌ

    ✨We will then come together in a closing circle, offering space for sharing our experiences, reflections, and gratitude. This is a moment to connect deeply with the group, honor our journey, and carry the energy of the evening into our lives with open hearts β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯

    * Ceremonial Cacao is used in ecstatic dance as a sacred plant medicine to open the heart, enhance connection, and deepen the experience of movement. Rich in theobromine, tryptophan (a precursor to serotonin) and other natural compounds, it promotes a gentle, uplifting energy, fostering clarity and emotional release. With its roots in ancient Mayan and Aztec traditions, cacao has long been celebrated as a tool for spiritual connection and transformation. In ecstatic dance, it acts as a bridge, helping participants enter a state of flow and presence, amplifying the joy and freedom of expression through dance.

    Sundaze

    Sundaze 🌞 is the musical identity of Sorin. He began his journey as a DJ in 2016, exploring the world of Drum ‘n Bass and later expanding into Minimal House & Techno. From the very beginning, he sought to deliver an organic experience through sound, crafting stories with rises and falls in a crescendo, harmonized with the environment and season he found himself inβ€”converting life into music.Β πŸͺ·

    Hailing from Romania πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡©, Sundaze draws inspiration from his cultural roots, as well as diverse influences from around the globe. His DJ sets incorporate elements from the Orient, Africa, the Balkans, South America, dub music, downtempo, afro house, trance and drum & bass, to name just a few. πŸŒπŸ’«

    The concept of Ecstatic Dance came to him as an ‘upgrade’ full of synchronicities, offering a space to unleash his imagination and create boundless musical selections. These selections are designed to help participants slow down their inner rhythm and listen to the voice within. Through this journey, his music provides a space for releasing tensions accumulated in the rush of everyday life, gently guiding people back homeβ€”to the here and now. β›©οΈ

    Who are we?

    Love for music and self-development are two aspects that have brought us together a few years ago 🎢

    πŸ”ΈKamila has been exploring self-development and mindfulness for a long time. Especially, the discovery of breath has changed her life, and since then she decided to devote her life to holistic living and diving into spirituality. On her way, she discovered power of sounds and vibration which led her to conduct sessions and massages using Tibetan bowls and other instruments. She is certified Buteyko Breathing Instructor and Yoga Teacher. Increasing awareness of connection of body, mind and soul is one of her biggest passions. – Disconnect to Connect

    πŸ”ΈJustyna on daily basis helps people to release tension in their bodies by sharing touch as a Lomi Lomi Nui massage practitioner. Her journey with sound healing began around 3 years ago when she started to give individual sessions using the Peter Hess method. She has been already many years on her journey, exploring connections between the mind, body and soul. She regularly attends workshops and events to deepen the knowledge about the healing powers of breath, sound, touch and movement. – Touch From The Heart

    Hope to experience this journey with you ❀️
