Over dit evenement
Welcome to this special "5 year anniversary" edition of Ecstatic Dance Heerlen. Today will be a musical collaboration of DJ Martyn Zij, Elias Widukind and Lisa Hoff, to celebrate our 5 year existence.
Available tickets: combi or ED only.
About the Cacao Ceremony
"Elias Widukind & Lisa Hoff have been playing together for over 8 years. They offer chanting concerts and cocoa ceremonies in Germany and the Netherlands. Their melodies and lyrics come from all over the world. From traditional medicine songs to mantra's from ancient India as well as heart songs from their own repertoire.
In their performances they invite both listening and singing along.
Amplified by the sounds of guitar and harmonium they create beautiful and unique harmonies that melt together with the voices of the crowd.
Everyday is different, every moment unique, and so is every ceremony. For us, life itself is one big ceremony. We want to celebrate this with you and the love of Mama Cacao, while chanting heart songs and sharing our prayers and intentions. Together we create a space of harmony and unity, as we come together in the name of the heart. A moment where all is welcome that wants to be experienced between sound and silence. "
We will set our intention and drink a cup of ceremonial raw Cacoa, a sacred plant medicine that is known for it's heart opening and both grounding as well as uplifting qualities. Like with all plant medicine nothing will happen if we passively expect Cacao to do the work for us. By singing, dancing, expressing ourselves we will meet the cacao in the middle an this is the place where true magic and healing can happen.
We encourage you to come with an empty stomach or only have a light meal in the morning to enhance your experience.
