About this event
ECSTATIC DANCE FESTIVAL HOLLAND
SUMMER EDITION 2027
13–18 July 2027
Kasteel de Berckt, Baarlo, The Netherlands
SIX DAYS OF DANCE, MUSIC AND CONNECTION
Ecstatic Dance Festival Holland returns to the beautiful Kasteel de Berckt for its Summer Edition 2027.
For six days, the historic castle and its surrounding nature become home to an international community brought together by dance, music and conscious celebration.
Every day offers ecstatic dance, live music, workshops, ceremonies, sound healing, yoga, singing and embodied practices. From gentle sunrise sessions to powerful evening dances and late-night raves in the Basement, create your own journey or simply slow down and enjoy being together.
COME ALONE, LEAVE CONNECTED
EDFH welcomes people from all over the world and is deeply rooted in Dutch Ecstatic Dance culture.
Many guests come alone. Shared meals, workshops, ceremonies, campfires and spontaneous moments make it easy to meet and connect with others.
You do not need previous experience with ecstatic dance, yoga, ceremony or any other part of the program.
Come alone, with a partner or with friends. Come exactly as you are.
PROGRAM FOR EDFH 2027

⊙ KUNDALINI CASTLE ⊙
Following the beautiful connection created by Hari Krishan and Martyn ZIJ, we are expanding our exploration of Kundalini Yoga into a complete Kundalini-inspired program.
With an intimate practice space inside the castle, sessions in the Chapel and collaborations in the Main Room, Kundalini Castle invites you to explore this powerful tradition throughout the festival.
Experience Divine Dance, where structure and free flow meet, allowing your unique expression to become part of a unified field.
Begin your day with Kundalini Morning Practice, awakening the body, energy and spirit on multiple levels.
A space to move, breathe, connect, activate and explore. No previous Kundalini Yoga experience is required.
SPECIAL FESTIVAL SPACES
✧ TEA & ELIXIR BAR ✧
A warm and welcoming place to pause, meet and enjoy carefully selected teas, ceremonial drinks and botanical elixirs.
✧ SILENT INTEGRATION SPACE ✧
A dedicated space without music, conversation or a scheduled program. Sit, lie down, breathe, integrate and simply be.
✧ OPEN STAGE: SHARE YOUR TALENT ✧
During our Open Stage, the boundaries between artist and audience dissolve. Bring your instrument, song, poem, spoken-word piece or hidden talent, step into the spotlight and let the community carry you. Raw, real and unforgettable.
✧ WELLNESS: SLOW DOWN, RECHARGE, INTEGRATE ✧
Between dances, workshops and ceremonies, there is space to land. Warm up in the saunas and hot tubs, relax on the grass or find a quiet place in nature. Give your body time to rest, recharge and integrate.
✧ BAR, LOUNGE & CAMPFIRE ✧
The bar and lounge form one of the social hearts of the festival. Meet around the campfire for singing and drumming, relax or enjoy intimate performances on the lounge stage.
✧ THE ALCHEMY SHOP ✧
Hosted by Chocolate Club, the Alchemy Shop brings together ritual, meditation and conscious living. Meditate inside a copper pyramid, discover guided meditations and explore oils, elixirs, ceremonial cacao and mushroom blends.
