ECSTATICA: 8-Day Ecstatic Dance Facilitator & DJ Training – Bali
Step into the role of the Ecstatic Dance facilitator and learn how to create and guide transformational dance journeys through music, movement, voice, presence and energy.
This is an immersive professional training for those who feel called to facilitate Ecstatic Dance, whether you are beginning your journey or looking to deepen your existing skills.
Over 8 days in Bali, in an intimate group of just 8 participants, you will learn the practical skills of Ecstatic Dance facilitation alongside DJing, soundscape creation, voice activation and embodied energy work. You will not only learn how to facilitate the dance, you will experience the journey yourself, developing the presence, confidence and awareness needed to authentically hold space for others.
What you will learn
Ecstatic Dance Facilitation
Learn how to create a safe and welcoming space, guide participants into embodied movement, communicate with clarity, lead warm ups and openings, work with the energy of a group, and bring the journey to a grounded and integrated close.
DJ Skills & Music Curation
Learn the foundations of DJing, including beatmatching, mixing, looping and hot cues, and develop the confidence to work with music as a facilitator. You will learn how to select and sequence music to create a dynamic journey from arrival and warm up through expansion, peak and integration.
Creating an Ecstatic Dance Soundscape
Discover how tempo, genre, instrumentation and musical energy can influence emotional and energetic states. Learn to curate a musical journey rather than simply play a collection of tracks.
Voice Activation & Authentic Expression
Explore chanting, toning and vocal expression while developing confidence with the microphone. Release inhibition around self expression and learn to communicate from an authentic, embodied place.
Energy Work & Embodied Awareness
Develop a deeper awareness of energy within yourself and the dance space. Through embodied energy practices and energy work, explore presence, sensitivity and the relationship between movement, sound and life force energy, developing greater awareness of how you hold and influence the energetic field of a group.
History & Philosophy of Ecstatic Dance
Explore the roots, influences and philosophy of Ecstatic Dance, including its relationship with ancient movement and spiritual traditions, contemporary conscious dance and the transformative potential of movement.
More than a professional training
This is also a deep personal immersion.
You will dance every day, work with the elements, experience ceremonial practices and move through your own transformational journey. By experiencing the process from the inside, you gain a deeper understanding of what it means to guide another person through it.
The intention is not simply to teach you a set of techniques.
It is to help you develop the skills, confidence, presence and embodied awareness to become a powerful and authentic facilitator.
You will leave with practical DJ and facilitation skills, a deeper understanding of Ecstatic Dance, greater confidence in your voice and expression, and your own lived experience of the transformational journey you will eventually guide others through.
