Ecstatic Dance FULL MOON Liveset by Iradi 9 Sept 2014

A special slower sexier "Snake Charmer" edition of Ecstatic Dance, played live at "Dissolve Ecstatic Dance", Dreamscape, Pai Thailand.

This was a challenging journey to create, as i had to stay generally low-tempo and low-intensity, include some songs without words, and still create peaks of intensity, and all of this with mostly afro music.

I've prepared and practiced for over 2 days, and was still working during the ecstatic dance setup and warm up.

It turned out to be one of the best journeys I've played, and the energy was strong with the 100+ dancers who hardly left the dance floor, and supported by the professional sound system.

Some Highlights:

- A few Jazz songs, including a cover of Sting's Walking on the moon and a song by the late Japanese Hip-Hop artist Nujabes
- "Afro Sambroso" - Afro-folk masterpiece by Dele Sosimi 
- "Abo Mvelo" - One of the best Amapiano songs I know, and I let it play for over 5 minutes
- "Winyo Nungo" - A slow but intense Afro-Tribal song by Coco Em, which is largely unknown 
- A few songs by Juls Baby from Ghanna/London. "Afrobeats" doesn't do justice to his musicality, arrangement and groove. 

Thank you Aitor Urbina for having me, Bjork the soundman, the team,  and Elena my darling.

Ecstatic Dance Liveset mixed by Iradi jun '12

This ritual is inspired by Ecstatic Dance and my 10+ years experience with Tantra, coaching, personal development and mindfulness practices.

The word "Shamanic" is used a lot, and still, it expresses best what we’re creating.
For me, "Shamanic" means acknowledging that everything is and has energy. That we can come into greater resonance with some energies that are beneficial for us.
It means quieting the mind and getting deeper into the body, the senses, the sensations.
It means expanding our intuition as to how to move and interact with others.
It means bringing intention, awareness and sacredness into every action.
It means connecting to nature and to what is natural for us as spiritual animals.
The dance and movement are pathways into pleasure, healing and empowerment.
They are portals into recognizing and living who we really are.
This dance is our offering, our sanctuary, our liberation, and our spiritual practice.

Nowananda: Shamanic Dance Ritual, Berlin, September 2019

I was excited to hold a special "Snake Charmer" edition at Ecstatic Dance Breda (NL), focusing on slower, sensual music with lots of Ethnic, world, Indian and Amazonian vibes.

Nowananda: Ecstatic Dance, Breda NL, Snake Charmer edition, 27.9.2019

This was the 2nd Shamanic Dance Ritual I've held in Berlin, and one of the best evenings of my life.

I'm always experimenting, breaking my self-imposed rules and testing how I can expand what's possible in the field of conscious dance.

For this ritual, I've created a music journey that uses one long track ("Tripulante" by Lum @iamlum) as a backbone for the whole set. It's there for most of the set, either right at the forefront, or slightly in the background.

For me, it creates a feeling which is hypnotic, enchanting, and safe - That feeling of "Ah, it's still there...".

I'll be happy to hear how this set makes you feel - Please comment below.

My deepest gratitude to my woman Friederike John for organizing this event for me, for our lovely team, for the participants who took part in it, and for the musicians and producers who made this music.

Nowananda: Shamanic Dance Ritual Berlin 15.oct.2019

Shamanic Chillout at Bali Dacha, November 2019

A FULL EXPERIENCE OF ECSTATIC DANCE : Breda(NL)

I had a great time in Breda doing what I love doing the most - holding the whole evening from start to finish -ceremony, DJ set, sound healing and closing circle.

I bring over 15 years of experience of meditation, yoga, sacred sexuality, coaching and workshop facilitation into the spaces I hold.

I find that when I hold the whole evening, it makes for a deeper journey, more harmonious and with better integration of the experience.

Marty Boger, the organizer, was kind and flexible enough to allow me to change the lights and some of the elements in the space, and the result was an AMAZING ecstatic dance evening, where we experienced sacredness, softness, sensuality, raw-ness, connection, Ecstasy and stillness.

I'd love to hear how this music journey makes you feel - please comment.

I'll be playing in Europe this summer - PM me for bookings.

Gratitude to Marty, the team, and to the beautiful participants who showed up and really went for it.

Nowananda: Shamanic Dance Ritual, Koh Phangan, 2.Mar.2020

Eyal aka Nowananda is life-long dancer and music collector, who has been passionate about electronic music since the late 80s.

He is influenced by growing up in a multi-cultural family, playing classical piano for 7 years, traveling and living in South-East Asia most of his adult life, as well as the study, practice and teaching of Tantra, Yoga, healing and body/energy work.

Nowananda weaves together devotional, organic and electronic music from all over the world into music journeys that invoke the mystic, the lover and the animal within us.  

Apart from holding his own event "Shamanic Dance ritual", Nowananda played in Ecstatic Dance venues and festivals around Europe and Asia, and his dance journeys are featured on podcasts and channels such as Planet Ibiza, Amalaya, Kośa, GuestRoom, Soul of Zoo, the Deep Control, and many others.

His moto is "Through dance, love deepens for ourselves, others, and life.”

Journeys by Nowananda

Nowananda - Snake charmer @ Home

I was scheduled to play at Pyramid yoga, Koh PhaNgan, the tropical island where i've been living for over a decade.

Due to the covid situation, we moved it online.

It was a great experience to create a 3 hour Ecstatic Dance journey for people to play and dance at home.

I'm trying to turn music into my livelihood, and covid situation doesn't help...

Ecstatic Dance Liveset mixed by Iradi feb '13

This was a "Snake Charmer" edition of Ecstatic Dance I held in Koh PhaNgan Thailand and it was the first public dance event since covid19.

At these special events I play a music journey with more soft, slow, sensual, sacred and shamanic tracks, as well as some upbeat tribal ones.

This time we didn't get to the tribal tracks... ;-)

Profits from this event were donated to "Happy Food" local charity which feeds Burmese people on the island.
