If it is not Ecstatic Dance on the dance ground, it is Ecstatic Essence all around.  Redirecting emotions and feelings into a ritual for finding freedom within. May this creation takes you too, to that Ever Existing Ecstatic Essence.

Allowing mistakes to remind imperfect and immortal nature of being.

Recorded live at my Temple Saturn in the jungle of Mazunte, Oaxaca, Mexico.

Inspired by NATURRITU..

Midnight At Saturn

It was New Moon in Leo and the Lion's Gate Portal was open.
Awaken and sacred land of Oaxaca,  Pacific Coast.
Jardin de Saraswati held beautiful space with humongous mango trees for a great and profound journey to the Heart.

The creation of this set is an outcome of my inner  process after completing my first SunDance. A struggle of adapting to the mundane life after strong devotional ceremony of Lakota tradition. Expansion of my perception led to me recognize the Divine in each portion of daily life. Also motivated me to bring that "Ecstatic Essence of the Divine" to the community through music. poetry, performing arts and loving presence.

Highlights of this set were ;
1.  Starting with a meditation of Saraswati, Goddess of music, art, speech, wisdom, and learning..
2. Playing a Turkish Sufi track for the first time as one of my mother languages.
3. Ending the journey with a Lakota chanting track which brought the  deep tears to my eyes..
4. At the closing circle, improvising a poetry and giving words and voice  to a Heart on Fire of Love and Devotion.

Ecstatic Dance @Jardin de Saraswati, Zipolite 8/8/2021 ( Lion's Gate )

Super uplifting Cumbia Set that may bring all the Joy of Universe into your Heart.

Emotional Aspect: There is direct connection from Cumbia to Heart and from Cumbia to Hips. Heart holds energy of Divine Love and hips hold the energy of Divine Creation as well as emotions. This set is outcome of my previous struggling-processing-growing cycle. That growth led me to move Sacral Energy (creative/productive/sexual/emotional) towards to Heart Energy (universal love and devotion).

Musical Aspect: Where I live at the moment, in Mexico, Cumbia is a big thing. There are so many different approaches to Cumbia in this set. Some classic ones almost 50 years old and some new age electronic cumbia or remixes. Some nostalgic, psychedelic tunes as well.
Last track may crack open your heart to Love,

Working on this set made me realize how deeply I am connected to Mexican Culture from so many different aspect.

It's all Cumbia, All is Love.
Es todo Cumbia, Todo Es Amor.
Te Siento , Te Amo
Todos, Todos
Cuuuumbiaaaaaaaa !!

Ecstatic Cumbia Set - from Hips to Heart

The first dance of the season, in the Heart of Nature, in the Heart of our cosmic self. with the rising full moon we move from individual consciousness to cosmos consciousness..

We started with a breathing meditation and entire journey the invitation was; In that ecstatic state to ask ourselves the question "Who Am I?" to drop any kind of identification and to become the ecstasy itself.

As the set comes to the end we take it as beginning of a revolution of the Heart by simply resting in the goodness of the Heart.

Rest in the Goodness of your Heart..

Ecstatic Jungle Dance Season Opening Mazunte, September Full Moon

First hour of the set I didn't enjoy my music. Not because it was out of tune, because I was judging myself. The mind was coming with all the things that takes my away from presence.

- too much techno
- too dark
- people are not enjoying
- bad selection
- doubting a lot to play the track or not
- not smooth transitions

All of these you may relate as a musician were looping in my head every second. Then a wave of surrender came naturally.The Heart started to whisper. It was hard to here in that noise of mind but miraculously I heard that whisper and gave my attention and directed my awareness to the Heart. Suddenly I was smiling and hearing all these soothing phrases.

- well, it is as it is my love
- it doesn't have to be anything
- it is already sacred and divine as an authentic expression
- it is your prayer and already received well
- thank you for the passion and creation
- relax and enjoy

This shift of awareness from mind to heart made a leap to the presence and the realization came through that it is not about what is being put out, it is what is being put in..
And that pure intention..

One of the major intention of making art for me, is these teaching come along. I receive with gratitude and love. Thank you..

After the Ecstatic Set we did flow into fire jam and poetry. Grace was with us as always. My inner process was offered to fire and echoed back as poetry and expression of Heart.

When the Fire in my Soul
Burns a longing for music and dance
Then I know in my Heart
It's you.

Ecstatic Dance at Camp, Zipolite 13.10.2021

It was my first techno playing around this high bpm. It did move  a lot in me. Intention was to access that darkness with in and embrace with the Heart. Perceiving everything as part of the Divine creation and remembering that; in that infinite light of the Heart, there is a place for everyone. Each part of me, each person of tribe and each being of this existence.

to remember that I am and everybody else is magic!

Jungle Dance Full Moon December 2021

This Full Moon, intention was to cherish our inner world, strengthen our connection with Great Spirit and revealing the Truth, finding Love by directing our awareness to infinity of inward space.

I was not prepared as usual for playing this set yet there was deep sense of trust and detachment of outcome.
I find myself more brave in my momentary selections and even little reckless. I felt liberated as an artist to express freely what is alive.

Art is healing
Art is transformation
Art is medicine.

Ekstatik Dans Ateş Ritüeli ~ YANKI ~

This dance journey was coming together with the ecstatic dance community in Mazunte after a long break of rain season. We re-awake our beloved dance ground and activate it for entire dancing season.

Music depicts the journey in between two seasons. It is spiced up with Middle Eastern and Sufi tunes where I was until I came back to Mazunte. 
Native American flute and Sufi Drum was used to enchant the musical experience but unfortunately it is not in the record. It is there in the Spirit.

Enjoy the dance, take it as reawakening journey and hold your prayers to start new chapters of your life..

It says you are free now.

Pastoral Vadi Tapınak Gecesi Ekstatik Dans

This was the opening ecstatic dance of desert festival Midbar in Southern Israel. Not knowing that a war was gonna break out on the last day of the festival. Felt like the Spirit of Desert called us to strengthen our bonds and loving presence as a global community. We were dancing and singing, creating a healing container for entire world and turned out that we were getting ready in our hearts for what was coming up.

May the dance medicine hold us in peace, love and unity.

This set was designed to be a blast to drop the stories, to shake the excessive energy and to come to simplicity by rooting down to the Earth.. 
Contains a lot of high beat, ups and downs, reaching to the Spirits various ways and concluding with poetic desert tales leading to the Divine Love.

This was an opening opening portal to hold us during the entire festival and this was our opening prayer;

I ask for divine blessing
so that my creations may be 
expressions of true spiritual light, 
bringing assistance to this world. 
I give thanks for the gift of my creativity
and of my ability 
to feel and know the light. 
May this light dwell fully alive within me, 
inspiring my creativity 
so that l am a source of loving radiance 
for all beings in this world. 
May joy always be at home in my heart. 
Through my own free will, 
so be it.

Ecstatic Dance @CAMP , Zipolite / Mexico 19.01.2024

We celebrated Full Moon as the tradition of our human nation. Preyers from our ancestors. Dance, sing, cacao, fire, ritual, prayers..

Vivid transmission of the luminous moon and dance ground became a wild and tender entity. 

I felt deeply connected with Spirit by playing this set. Although there was a few poor transitions , it was a wholesome journey and varieties of ethnic music from India, Mongolia, Sufi Tradition, Bulgarian Balkans, Yakutsk Region of Russia and Flamenco..


Starting with a fire prayer, going high with the root beats, downtempo ending and finishing with a Lakota prayer was the overall flow and and the night luminated by full mon was a precious gift for our global community of light that dance sober and celebrate life and love many parts of the world.

with so much gratitude to Great Spirit for making this possible get us closer to you..

Aho.

Full Moon February 2024 Mche Ti / Mazunte, MEXICO

Synthesis of Feminine, Masculine and the Divine. 

Medicine of music and dance is powerful and available any time of daily life.
That makes it my passion to create conscious and intentional dance spaces and music with such awareness.

My intention is offering Non-Dual experiences by inviting people to perceive the existence from the pure presence of body and liberated mind through state of trance or absolute stillness which comes by the divine dance of music and silence.

I feel my magic is fusion of different genres from all over the world and from all the times and people. Extracting their potent medicine and bringing them into a profound journey that offers a container for dynamic inner work.
Supporting and flavoring these journeys with organic vibrations such as didgeridoo, Sufi drum, Native American and Middle Eastern flutes, Saaz and indigenous sound tools. 

we dance and we pray
we liberate and we connect
we remember who are we
truly.
