April 22nd 2021, Camp Camp, Costa Rica

A beautiful date for the memory of all those who made this meeting possible. A celebration for mother earth that has seen us grow from the first moment we arrived on this planet. A celebration for Costa Rica as a paradise that continuously and tirelessly offers us its exuberant abundance through its mountains, beaches and settings that inspire our hearts to open up to the freedom of being who we truly are.

Many are those who have called this place their home with only having experienced a few days of it´s culture and its people, Costa Rica certainly has a "star", it is a vortex of powerful energies gathering to become a portal of healing and personal and collective transformation.

Thanks to the Chocolate Groove community and Jesse Buck for co-creating this magical event.

When reason is swept up with a gusty wind and we are left in wonder, where is this world headed? No one knows the answer just yet... But returning to Love & Music over and over is my medicine. So let's protest, pray, play, plant, ponder, wobble with the emotions and dance. Enjoy this offering beloveds, and may you bask in peace and trust!

Bali Lockdown ~ Ecstatic Dance (ft. Maugli, Afrikan Roots, Temple Step)

The willingness to believe in something that is bigger than you or your own limitations is humbleness. Humility and purity of heart is what allow us to FLY HIGH. 

Being able to play for the ED community of París was a dream beyond my imagination and so this set is full of that high energy that comes when you are seeing your dreams come true, full of joy and uplifting beats, bass music, celebration and of course a lot of my latinamerican roots to celebrate the 2021 European Summer that was kicking in after a lot of COVID restrictions. 

Merci Beacoup to all of you that were present on the dancefloor that day and gave it all! So much happy memories to cherish.

B.D Social Gathering

This Dj set was the second one of an epic night at the Beyond Dance 1st Anniversary this past October 31st in San José, Costa Rica. 

Beyond Dance is a community that has known how to be resilient throughout these times of planetary crisis. Our greatest strength is the joy and wholesome enjoyment of our community dances. 💃🕺

We are a Tribe awakening, awakening to the richness of our emotional world in full expression, we are freedom of movement and thought, we are beings capable of celebrating ourselves and celebrating others as they are. 🥳

We are recovering the essence and power of Dance as a path of liberation and healing. Our Gatherings are an infinite source of energy, love and strength! ❤️💪🏾☀️

Strength to keep walking forward with confidence and conviction that the best is always yet to come, that when we come together and unite our highest intentions we become powerful beyond our individual limitations. We nurture each other in acceptance and SINCERE LOVE. 🌀🔝🌀

Happy Birthday, Happy 1st Anniversary to all the members of this community! 🎂

Without you none of this would be possible!

Let's keep dancing, let's keep lighting the fire of hope and let's keep celebrating this beautiful shared human existence! 💞

Ecstatic Dance Morning (2016) :: yoga barn (Feat. chancha via circuito, fleetwood mac, deadmau5)

Inspiration from this summer in Ibiza... the island of music, dance, fertility and celebration. Incredible DJ's opened my mind to electronic world music again... the endless blends of seductive trance with mind-altering shamanic chants, provoking spiritual journeys through space and time.

sôfrēē @ Soulscape Festival 2016, Singapore (feat. Nickodemus, Thornato, Captain Planet, Drumspyder)

An offering to 2017...  using the medicine of music and dance to transcend the mind, find gratitude in our heart and peace before we let go of the old year.  Consciously crossing into the threshold of 2017 by dancing the passage of the old into the new. 

And we move into the year… and into the mystery. This is a journey with no map or itinerary. Be in wanderlust. Treat the ride as a surrender into the unknown of what beauty shall unfold in the New Year!

<3 Blessings to you in 2017... and may you dance your dreams awake! 

Mix includes tracks by incredible artists including El Buho, DrumSpyder, Peia, 2melo, Kareem Raihani and more.

sôfrēē *Dance Your 2017 Dreams Awake* Yoga Barn, Bali (feat. El Buho, Peia, Kareem Raihani)

A mix to remember the summer we gathered in the pine tree forest... to dance, shake & celebrate life! To give thanks to the Croatian waters, land and teachers which guided us back into our bodies, our heart, our souls.

Opening up the journey with a traditional Balkan folk mix by Marzo, middle eastern & latin american grooves, dropping into deep earthy vibrations... and rising into ecstatic global bass. 

Thank you Supersoul Yoga for curating this epic retreat at Obonjan...

i'm honored to develop the Ecstatic Dance movement in israel. it's a year we are dancing our hearts and minds once a week unconditional.

i want to thank the community for showing up and share your bright light such as your shadows, taking it all on the dancefloor. 
i'm excited with the new directions it takes me as a Dj and i'm so in love with the music that is now being transmitted to the world. 

Light Child Project is a Project that is here to help and support each own individual way to the inner child that we are and bring it back and out to the front of our present being. this is enlightening. 

dance is a medicine and i'm here to help bring this true value  back to our consciousness.. dance with the devil, you are God. 

never thought i'll play this kind of music.. always had visions for psychedelic dancefloors and music and for me it's a good sign of self maturity and mindfulness living. 

i feel the bless ~ thank you _/\_

truly yours,
BARAKE

As we light our candles, make our ritual offerings and gaze up in awe at that extraordinary Blue Blood Moon in the sky... I offer you a deep mix to journey to that deepest place within you, that is so so so so ancient, that knows, that burns, that guides, that loves… and is ready for you to TRUST.

Trusts your No’s. Trusts your Yes’s. 

Trusts.Your.Heart.

Love,

sôfrēē *Blue Moon Ritual* feat. Porangui, El Buho, Mose, Be Svendsen

“I spin a shroud about the past, sink within to primordial places, where I dissolve and resolve, rearrange my very molecules, and imagine myself flying.”

Initiation into butterfly metamorphosis… An invitation by Lucent Dossier who told stories with their dance, flight, fire, their song. A heart howl for us all to rise into our highest calling, our greatest artist, dancer, human being. In right relationship with the planet, our community and ourselves! Where we truly embody the belief that everything we touch can alchemize into beauty.  

All I can say is thank you to the visionaries and the artists who create these spaces and realms for transformation. Thank you for trusting and dancing with me with so much Love. 

Here’s my gift in return! It's deep, fun, tribal...  

An offering for the dance temples of the world.  

Love,

Sôfrēē *Butterfly Metamorphosis* - Lucent Dossier x Burning Man 2018 [FREE DOWNLOAD]

We are surrounded by the dreamers and the doers, the believers and the thinkers, the artists and the singers, and the rebels who dance to the beat of their own drum. Real-life pom pom’s who motivate and inspire me to align my actions with my highest values, wildest visions and deepest love!

This past Sunday, I got to share from that place ~ BBC came to film a feature on ecstatic dance, the creative process, and how and why this movement is bringing us closer to our bodies, creativity, our inner healer and each other in community. So many of you came and danced and shared your beautiful, funky, sweaty, vulnerable selves. 

I can’t quite express how much you inspire me!

I give thanks to the dancers and DJ’s who keep showing up week in and out with your offerings, keeping this movement alive. @Karishma and Frasier for being the world-bridgers to the BBC community; @Yogabarn for being our mothership, Emma, Sifoux & Lisa for being brave storytellers of their dance journeys. And last but certainly not least, my Beloved, Raio, who’s music genius inspires and has been my #1 cheerleader every single air boot step of the way. 

And so I share this ecstatic dance mix ~ music by amazing beings from around the world. El Buho, Raio, TempleStep, Peia, Satsang to name a few. An offering to the wild ones, and to the new ones who are ready to dip their toes into the soup. As with any ritual, carve out the space and time in your schedule, switch off your phones, turn up the volume and dig deep when you’re ready. This mix is full spectrum with surprising turns ~ into the sweet, fun, chaotic and the sacred. 

And as you open and expand, may it remind you that you are indeed surrounded by an entire community who believes in you, too!

Love,
Sophie Sôfrēē

Sôfrēē *Love All Serve All* - Sunday Ecstatic Dance @ Yoga Barn, Bali

Heralding the embodiment of our transformation. Shifting our current form, as we sink ever deeper into our experience of being a human. 

An opportunity for us to dive into presence, and allow the music to move us and help us feel the full spectrum of life.  

*This mix is an offering for dance-floors around the world. You're welcome to share, and share your dance with me @sophiesofree
