About this event
📆𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 FRIDAY @Common Ground
No pressure, no performance
just music, movement, and space to be yourself.
Different from ecstatic dance, the raves are a playground for DJ’s to experiment and for us dancers to explore.
The Ecstatic Rave is in its core still about simply dancing freely together
the vibe is relaxed, grounded, and easy going.
Expect new types of music, different intensities, and unfamiliar experiences.
We created it out of a love for dancing and connecting through movement.
🌀𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐖
19:30 Doors open
19:45 Opening Circle + Facilitation
20:0 Ecstatic Rave
22:00 Closing circle & Hang out
We begin with a short facilitated opening to help everyone arrive in the space and gently connect with the group.
Then the DJ guides a 2 hour musical journey through different rhythms and energies.
We end with a closing circle, a moment to lie down, relax, integrate, and share some snacks

Guatambu threads together deep journeys with explosive peaks, experimental depths and everything in between.
Five years ago, Guatambu received his name from a capoeira teacher after a tree from which the instrument the berimbau is made. Guided through life by music and movement, he shares and creates with everything he himself has moved through. Collected from all corners of life, his elaborate collection of music is playful, weird, melancholic and simply ecstatic.
