Ecstatic Dance // Nevada City, California // Feb 26, 2023 // BROTHA JAG

This day is kind of like two birthdays for me.  While it’s my 43rd, it’s also my 20th!
It was April 2003 that I moved from Kauai to Big Island where I found Ecstatic Dance in it’s early form.  It’s silly how much I can gush with gratitude for Ecstatic Dance.  But I do so because I believe it saved my life.

This is going to be hard to share and probably hard to read.

I wish I could say I came to Big Island with grace.  
When I came from Kauai, I felt utterly alone, heartbroken, angry, and confused.
It was the most painful, and difficult time of my life.  
My partner, newborn child and I were splitting up, and for good reason.
I was a mess in so many ways.  

My waking hours were filled with anguish.  There’s no way to explain the extent to the suffering I was experiencing.  I can just say it was impossible to see a way through it.
One day while walking through Pahoa I was brought to Kalani Honua… to Ecstatic Dance.
It was just a few people dancing barefoot to classic rock, pop, and a few electronica songs.  
No talking.  Just dancing.  
No direction.  Just movement.
I felt at home.  

Where my emotions once felt like someone standing on my chest, they finally moved through me.
I felt relief, integration and a bit of community.  
It became my weekly church where I diligently returned in search of peace, movement, release, integration, and connection.

I soon started to DJ.  
I started having a greater sense of purpose.  
Creating a musical “journey” for the Ecstatic Dance became a creative outlet.  Before then, I didn’t know I was a creative!
The 30+ hours it took to make a set went by in a blink.  
I was in the flow, where time stopped and nothing else existed.  
And the sense of achievement after coming through the creative process gave me hope.

In 2009, Ecstatic Dance stopped happening at Kalani.  Only then I realized I’d taken it for granted the whole time.
I stopped going to Ecstatic Dance for nearly 10 years.
My health declined. I gained weight. I began drinking to excess, focusing only on work.
Until a few years ago I had the opportunity to start a new Ecstatic Dance in Southern Oregon.

It started with just my partner and I.  
Week after week, we showed up.  Just us.
I practiced speaking the guidelines I’d learned from the years before at Ecstatic Dance.
Then, one by one over weeks and months, a new person would join us.
I shared the intentions I understood Ecstatic Dance was founded on.
I found my voice in sharing these intentions.
And eventually, a community formed with Ecstatic Dance in Williams.

Since then, my life has never been the same.  
There’s a kind of magic in building community around a central idea.
This idea being that we can find a sense of introspection, inclusivity, and interconnectedness… a way to integrate, process, and overcome our emotional wounds, possibly “healing” them ourselves through movement,
I can’t stop talking about how amazing this experience has been for me.
Since then, I’ve stopped drinking. 
I’ve started doing therapeutic treatments.  
I’ve been going to group workshops for self improvement through meditation and breathing.
My 40th, 3 years ago, seems like it was a rebirth.  
I’ve finally found a way to forgive myself…  A, way to forgive my parents… and everyone else.
Where once I was seething with anger, a facade to cover up the fear and sadness, today I’m able to face the world… vulnerable, honest, flawed, but willing to keep improving.

I look back at everything I’ve been through… and everything I’ve put others through.  
I’m immensely sorry.  
I wish I could start over with the sense of empathy and care I have now.
But, I also feel immensely grateful.
Today, I get to be alive.
And that means I can still do good.

ECSTATIC DANCE @ Kalani (The Birthplace)

The words "light" and "love" and the visual of an energy ball being launched came to me when I was feeling into the theme for this dance. Receiving this guidance reminded me of what's been happening for me in my life recently where I've been shining a light into abandoned, hurt, and deemed unceptable parts of myself and have been working to bring in love, acceptance and ownership of these parts. The result of this has been access to so much more energy, realness in my connections, joy and wildness. I'm very excited about how this translated into this set. Hope it serves you and you enjoy!

Live Dj set played for the Asheville Movement Collective at the beautiful Warren Wilson College. Quite the journey, all the feels. Infinite gratitude.
Really hard to do proper justice to this one without a good sub. Super yummy sub bass frequencies, mmhmmmm ;) Enjoy <3

"Dance, dance here again with me my love, 
do you not remember when the music easily made us swing and sway? 
Lighting our spirits and seducing us away 
from toils and sorrows forget this darkness 
and the heavy sounds of the machine. 
The rattling, buzzing clamour 
of its electricity; 
displaced and dislocated mind, dismembered soul return from sea. 
Come still your senses that have run away with hype and fallacy. 
Come back this moment, please, if you could only see
just for a moment summon your whole spirit to be free. 
Let your mind go and dance with mystic, childlike reverie. 
Allow your quintessential heart to feel this rhythmic melody 
and show me in your eyes that you are here… 
with me.” – Katie Kamara

{PURRRIESTESS} ~ The Quintessential Heart ~ Ecstatic Dance Live Dj  Set 1.26.23

If you'd like a track name please comment. Like's and reposts really help me get more listens. Any engagement is always appreciated. Danke!

Played live on March 24, 2024 at the Asheville Movement Hall to a packed room. I shared the stage with Random Rab, Cpt Hyperdrive, and Spirit Animal. Special thanks to all my friends who came to get down, I know there was a lot going on in town that night. 

There's no "theme" to this set in particular. The set went through several revisions, and ended up being cut 15 minutes short because the event got off to a late start. I'm thinking of releasing an extended studio version later this week, so keep your eye out for that.

When constructing the set I drew from influences in music I was exposed to while on my recent travels to Hawaii. Special thanks to Dajah for introducing me to Surround Sound. I mashed it up in this set. Also special thanks to Osiah, Ginko and Lachlan for the support and some dope track suggestions.

Cover art is the event flier from the evening. Thank you Hunter Dunlap for having me out to play.

Opener for Random Rab {Live Club Set by MIKAYA}

I played this Arab Deep House set at the event Dance of the Dragon with Drumspyder!!  Hope you enjoy these sexy beats.

Beautiful and Badass... a very live, freestyled wave with the lovely energy of the Fernhill Ecstatic Dance community in Portland, OR on a beautiful Springy sunday morning :)

Live Tropo set with Jesse Hendricks and Timo Beckwith

Tropo - Siren Equinox 2019

Poetic is a triple threat. Her savvy ear for music, her warrior poet spirit, and her dancing raver heart all come together to skillfully kindle soulful journeys that ignite dance floors everywhere. 

Poetic has been part of conscious dance communities as both dancer and facilitator for decades. She can be found weaving her poetry into everything from ecstatic dance waves and sound healing journeys to epic events and intimate house parties.  

Although her style is eclectic, her heart and soul most often gravitate to deep organic and tribal house beats that evoke a stirring in your soul and a call to dance the path from darkness to light.

Poetic's mission is to weave her words to help awaken humanity from slumber, all while getting everyone's groove on. 

Radical revolution should be accompanied by a killer house beat.
