Ecstatic Dance + Co-created Arts with DJ Leela & LeilArts (Donation)

We are back to the beautiful, cozy and private space of Kokopelli, Amsterdam on Sunday, March 17 from 15-17 to share another 'Ecstatic Arts & Dance & Live Handpan' journey (donation-based for everyone) 🔥 You're invited to join us, to connect, to free flow, to meditate, to move or dance ecstatically and authentically 💃🏻, to make co-created yet intuitive arts as our collective gift for creativity 🎨, and to dive in deeper and rest together with grounded tunes of handpan 🎧, guided by DJ/Musician Leela and LeilArts. Followed by an optional community potluck sharing.

You might come home feeling more relaxed, present and creative with your body/mind, like you just had some good release and rest. You might also feel a close sense of being a part of a heart-warming community where we share, co-create and celebrate life (including both the Light and the Dark) together.

This unique addition to Ecstatic Dance is combined with co-created art/painting as an inclusive way of freely expressing through visuals (no must-dos) individually and collectively. Where we will together co-create a safe, open and connected space for our authentic expressions. One co-created painting will be donated to a random participant to help keep and spread our collective power and beauty. No previous experience required, as we believe everyone is an artist.

WHO ARE WE:

DJ Leela and Artist Leila are a loving team in the conscious space and in daily life. It seems no coincidence that they met at an event where Awareness & Exploration were the main ingredients. Both names are derived from Sanskrit as “In our daily experience, embracing the dance of life with a hint of playfulness, including the waves of bright & dark matters and sunshine & rain…” They feel privileged to weave their creativity and experience into both their love-life and by offering their services as a team to you.

We have traveled to 30+ countries and co-created 80+ pieces of powerful artworks/collective stories with 2K+ participants during Ecstatic Arts journeys during the last 2 years. Those artworks are uniquely beautiful, touching and priceless with real people and stories behind, and they can never be duplicated. Only to be passed around to make the world a better place, together.
