You are invited for an Ecstatic Dance & Co-created Arts journey with DJ Leela, LeilArts and guest musicians. It will be a beautiful and ecstatic Sunday afternoon (December 1 from 15-17) to dance and move ecstatically and freely, to meditate, to release what's no longer serving you, to make co-created arts and to rest together, with a community potluck-style sharing after to connect deeper. It will happen in the private and cozy space of Kokopelli Amsterdam overlooking the beautiful canal water.It's combined with co-created painting to explore our creative power together (as an additional way of freely expressing your authenticity, no must-dos). Where we will co-create a safe, open and connected space as we believe everyone is an artist. One co-created painting will be donated to a random participant who likes to receive it, to help 'keep' and pass on our collective beauty.
WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?
It is a form of free-style dance that emphasizes free movement and authentic expressions, often accompanied by music and sounds that create different waves of a journey. It is a contemporary practice that has evolved over time, drawing on elements of various cultural and spiritual traditions. "The fastest, cleanest, most joyful way to break out of your own box is by dancing." "If you don't do your dance, who will?"

WHO ARE WE?
DJ Leela and LeilArts are a team in the conscious arts space. 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 experiences into offering their music and art to you.
They have traveled to 30+ countries, facilitated 60+ Ecstatic Arts and Dance Journeys with different themes, and co-created 100+ pieces of powerful artworks/collective stories with 2.5K+ participants during Ecstatic Arts & Dance 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. We believe this is the true value of art. To be remembered and passed around as positive vibration.
