There is a time and space, there are moments forever kept in heart, not repeating , there are moments to be taken and lived as no tomorrow. And there are people who cross our path for moments like those to happen. 

Thank you for crossing my path and for allowing moments like that to happen. What a constelation. From the earth to the sky. ❤️

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

This was the 1st ecstatic dance event I held in two months due to a small wave of covid, so I was very excited to prepare for it and play it.

Highlights:

- My un-released remix of Sheila Chandra's Eyes/ocean/lonely
- A tribal remix of LadySmith Black Mambazo, the band that sang on Paul Simon's Graceland Album
- Lots of African and some Afro-latin as well as many other cultures

Balance The Horizon - Blindance ~ Tearful Smile (04.04.22)

Benjamin Crystal presents

Ecstatic Shamanic Dance, 8am @ Lifeplugin Summit 

You are invited to set some intentions and dive into the transformational power of Ecstatic Dance. For those of you new to ED, the modern genre is defined by a few guiding principles that support you to get the most from the journey.

ED is a free form dance experience - dance your truth and find the authenticity that is uniquely you.
ED is a sacred space and transformational practice free from drugs and alcohol.
Ecstatic Dancers observe verbal silence while dancing. This helps us to journey deeper and support others to do the same ✨

Recorded live @Lifeplugin Summit. Goa, India 2021

Big Love & Gratitude to Gautam, all the facilitators & participants for welcoming me to this awesome tribe. Epic vibes were there! 🙏✨

Piti Lion - Ancient Elements Dance @ Ananda Spirit 2021

It is Saturday and here is my new Ecstatic Dance Upload as promised.

This one is N. 12 played in Pyramid Yoga - Koh Phangan on 30/06/19 

By that time we already extended our ED sets to 3hrs in order to satisfy the eager ecstatic crowd of this insane island.

@@@@@@@@@@@@

In the past years I have been hosted, facilitated and held countless Ecstatic Dance Journeys ....

I started my Ecstatic Dance Journey in 2008 at the very beginning of the now famous Yoga Barn in Bali, then in 2016 I gave birth to the Sunday Mornings Dances at Pyramid Yoga in Koh Phangan and the Evening Friday dances in Jaran's.
Consistently started to record my sets (or almost) only in 2017/18.

I will try now to upload one every Saturday starting from those days ...... raw as they are (as I do not even re listen to them before uploading them!!)

Follow me in my Ecstatic Journey and let's see where we will end up ....
(to date ...with one set every week we will have more then 2 years to explore in front of us!)
Hope you will enjoy this journey with me!!
<3 U ALL

Balance The Horizon - Blindance ~ Lost And Found (18.08)

DJ Conor - Ecstatic Dance Berlin - 28 Oct '23

A song inspired in Fado de Coimbra, and in the beauty of the region of Serra do Açor and Serra da Estrela, made while living in the iconic national monument "Casa do Penedo", em Nogueira do Cravo, from the IX Century. Being in the region of Coimbra and connecting with my growing and family roots, this moment of my life has lead me to this song. Inspired by listening "Fado ao Centro", there was a moment where this melody came into my voice, lightning and calling the born of an eternal fire.
Saudade is a unique word in portuguese, which means "missing something or someone", and that was my deep feeling, before departuring from this place, and wonderfull life together with Laura and Madragoa, in the embracing community of the region.

"Saudade" is an homenage to the unique moments and persons in our lifes,  because what we have is the present moment, and there are moments and persons which will always remain in our hearts and souls.

Rui Vasques - Saudade
Como as águas que correm pelo rio
Transparência revela a verdade
Como a mágoa cria o vazio
Cai a chuva e molha a cidade

Como o vento aumenta o frio
Sangue aquece com proximidade
Como soa o som do assobio
Canto a voz que expressa a liberdade

Como a terra gera o alimento
O maduro cresce em humildade
Como a estrela brilha no firmamento
Vibra a aura livre de vaidade

Como o fogo é calmo ou violento
Se transforma sonho em realidade
Como surge cada sentimento
Minha alma relembra de Saudade

My life is running,and I am walking in front of it... drawing my feelings, views and experiences in contact with the object in front of me...thinking design to a better world, saving it from the excess of civilization...playing and creating sound with my heart, hands and voice...for all my friends, family and people who wants to listen...

Love yourself before you can truly love others.
