Three hours of live music on a gorgeous dance floor. We start with intentions, then ecstatically dance, and conclude with a sound healing.
About this Event

Madhu Anziani & Egemen Sanli are a dynamic musical duo, crafting mesmerizing uptempo music that draws inspiration from sacred texts. Their music has a unique and otherworldly quality, fueled by Madhu's singing, beatboxing, and looping skills, along with Ege's expertise in playing various world instruments such as sitar, Turkish saz, kopuz, handpans, and percussion instruments. Their music is perfectly suited both for inner journeys into expanded states as well as ecstatic dance.


We will begin with a circle of connection and intention setting to inform your dance and our music offering. Then we will take you on a dance journey into bliss. You are welcome to sit or lay down and journey inwards for portions during the dance. We will conclude with a sound healing blessing.


On the dance floor there will be no shoes and no talking. Conversations may be had on the edges around the room. We will treat the dancefloor as sacred space and respect each other's expressions of movement.


About the Artists:

Madhu Anziani is a remarkable sound healer whose journey of resilience and healing has inspired many. Despite shattering two neck vertebrae and enduring tetraplegia, paralysis affecting the entire body, Madhu harnessed the transformative power of sound and energy healing to reclaim his mobility. His extraordinary story is featured in the book "Energy Medicine" by Jill Blakeway.


Madhu's voice is nothing short of otherworldly, serving as both a portal and vessel for profound transformation. He is widely recognized as a vocal looping artist and a ceremonial song leader and composer. His diverse musical background includes studies in jazz and world music. Madhu is a certified Sound, Voice, and Music Healing practitioner, having completed his training at the California Institute of Integral Studies.

Egemen, also known as Ege, is a contemporary dervish who has been on a life-long journey to develop his own unique sound in world music while proudly representing his Turkish heritage. Ege skillfully blends various world instruments such as the sitar, caglama, saz, santoor, oud, ngoni, kora, the Native American flute, and more to create an enchanting and rejuvenating experience for his listeners. With a mastery of traditional Eastern ragas, he infuses his lively improvisations with beats, loops, and synths to further enhance the hypnotic effect of his music. Based in Oakland, Ege frequently performs around the California Bay Area and at festivals across the United States. Ege is also a music producer and a certified yoga teacher.
