Ecstatic Breath with live piano & handpan

About this event

‘Ecstatic Breath’ is an improvised soundscape with live piano, handpan and breathwork to guide you into a state of bliss and deep relaxation. But this isn't just about relaxation; it's a journey of self-discovery. You are invited to dive into the depths of your inner world. We will explore the boundaries between meditation and performance, feeling into the contrast between sound & silence, quick & slow, light & dark.

We are Lieneke and Ayşegül and we are super excited to introduce Ecstatic Breath, partly funded by Gemeente Utrecht. Ayşegül is a classical pianist from Turkey and Lieneke is a breathwork teacher playing the handpan from the Netherlands. Together we joined forces to create this special event. It is both a performance and breathwork experience that takes about 1,5 hour.

During this unique experience, you become a part of the performance as you surrender to the rhythm of your breath, engaging in multiple musical cycles. Every cycle will bring about something different within you.

*To be comfortable during the breathwork, please make sure to bring a yoga mat & a blanket.
