Ecstatic Dance + Co-created Arts + Handpan Sound Journey with DJ Leela

We are back to the beautiful, cozy and private space of Kokopelli, Amsterdam on Sunday, December 17 from 15-17 to share our last 'Ecstatic Arts & Dance' journey until next February (due to winter break) ? You're invited to join us, to meditate ☯️, to move and dance ecstatically and authentically ??, to make co-created yet intuitive arts as our collective gift ?, and to dive in deeper and rest together with grounded tunes of handpan ?, guided by DJ/Musician Leela and LeilArts. Followed by an optional community potluck sharing.

You might come home feeling more relaxed, present and creative with your body/mind, like you just had some good release and rest. You might also feel a close sense of being a part of a heart-warming community where we share, co-create and celebrate life (including both the Light and the Dark) together.

This unique addition to Ecstatic Dance is combined with co-created art/painting as an inclusive way of freely expressing through visuals (no must-dos) individually and collectively. Where we will together co-create a safe, open and connected space for our authentic expressions. One co-created painting will be donated to a random participant to help keep and spread our collective power and beauty. No previous experience required, as we believe everyone is an artist.

We have traveled to 30+ countries and co-created 80+ pieces of powerful artworks/collective stories with 2K+ participants during Ecstatic Arts 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. Only to be passed around to make the world a better place, together.

Sign-up: you must confirm by sending Leila a whatsapp message +31 613596848 or email to [email protected] to be added to our private group to receive more details of the event. As it's donation-based, we do appreciate your respect for our initiative to make it available to everyone, and your commitment to show up when you sign-up will be very appreciated.

Who are we:

DJ Leela and Artist Leila are a loving team in the conscious space and in daily life. 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 experience into both their love-life and by offering their services as a team to you.
