'Sacred Riddims' is an ecstatic-dance journey which includes devotional, melodic and tribal music from all over the world.

I am touched and grateful to witness how more and more people are called to join us, attend the whole journey, dance to music from all over the world, and later share so honestly about their experience.

I'm inspired to keep digging for musical treasures, make music, hold space and play at my event and around the world.


Highlights of this journey:

- My new remix of a sweet brazilian song from 1973 -  'Iansa Mae Virgem' by Os Tincoas, who sing about the goddess of winds, lightning, and violent storms, death and rebirth
- A Bass /Hip-Hop version of Marvin Gaye's 'I Heard it through the grapevine'
- A remix of The Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the band that sang on Paul Simon's Graceland album
- A hypnotic upbeat blues song by Fleetwood Mac
- Arabic, Afro-Folk, Afro-Latin, Traditional Indian, Neo-Classical, Maori Bass, Ragga Jungle, Amazonian, Tribal, Reggaeton, and more

Enjoy and please comment on your favorites - i'd love to know.

As an Ecstatic Dance Activist and Mentor, my mission is to Deepen the dance experience, Grow and diversify the community, and support the organizers and teams.

I'm inspired by growing up in a multi-cultural family, playing classical piano for 7 years, life-long dancing and music-collecting, 20 years of traveling, and an extensive study, practice, and teaching of tantric yoga, personal development and conscious business.

I weave traditional, popular, organic and electronic music from cultures and ethnic groups around the world into dance journeys that invoke the mystic, the lover and the animal within us.
