Play Utrecht: Ecstatic RAVE (ages 18-39) | DJ Sefrijn

Over dit evenement

For the wild ones, the hippie ravers, and the beat seekers.
Step into a space where the pulse of the music becomes your heartbeat, and movement is your meditation.

This is not your average Ecstatic Dance.
We mix the beauty of Ecstatic Dance with Techno, earth-shaking Tribal and spiraling Trance frequencies.
This evening is a sanctuary for self-expression and designed to completely lose your mind in the music.

No substances and no dance experience needed: Just your energy and presence.

About Bart & Pia: "We are honoured to be your facilitators for this Ecstatic Rave evening and are so excited to raise the energy beyond the walls."
- Bart: "I love psytrance and techno to completely lose my mind to. I have been dancing Ecstatic Dance for a couple of years now and I am super excited to combine the energy of Ecstatic Dance with that of a rave. My facilitation style can be described as warm, open and energetic."
- Pia: "Dancing is one of my main ways to express myself freely and I absolutely love it. I am in awe of these sober spaces and the energy that can be created in the field. What a blessing to bring these spaces to you and enjoy them with you! I love to facilitate spaces that are felt, lived and honest."
