Ritual Dance, Performance, music and Dj Set.

TRIBAL Nights 21.9.2024

My live set from Ecstatic Dance Santa Fe on Oct 30, 2024. We were letting go into the music, celebrating mid Autumn, a time to be letting go of that which does not serve us, lightening up so as to vibe between the veils, honoring our ancestors and our collective existence. Meeting life and death with love. Embodying the ecstatic dance of this mysterious existence we find ourselves in. 

letting go

I was honored to play at the first ecstatic of the season of Chakana. I love so much the way that these tradition of going through journeys with the central Portugal beautiful community is happening .

Hope you will enjoy the set as much as I enjoyed playing it. 


NaWaN - Ecstatic Dance 24.10.24 Chakana PT

I made this set for the dance I love and help create in the week leading up to the confirmation of a new, somewhat nefarious president, and I was super surprised how anxious I felt-- so I channeled it into this set.  Expect to hear a couple mentions of the world falling to ruin, but also a lot of affirmations of strength and  beauty, a thumping peak, and a resolve that leans into resilience and hope.  May you dance it well like we did in Portland!!

Dancing Through Intensity * Fernhill Ecstatic Dance 1/19/25

This was my very first Ecstatic Dance in Istanbul. It was like a meeting of two old lovers that have deep connection and longing for each other. Dancers were so alive and responsive to the beats and melodies.

Our legend Barış Manço was coming from other realms to bless us. This set is building up with solar energy and winding down with lunar energy in order balance our inner masculine and feminine dynamics that may be out of tune by the metropol city life style.

Intention was to create spaces for feeling and slowing down in our body and mind.
I wish it to be healthfully releasing and connecting.

Dance is a medicine, tasty one..

Istanbul Ecstatic Dance 8 February 2025

Open decks at the Dance Beyond retreat in Florianópolis, Brazil. Starts off with one of my most favorite, sweeping progressive house tracks, then weaves into yummy sensual sounds, good for getting into those hips... and lastly, I present a very bassy invitation to GET PRIMAL WITH IT. You'll know when ;-) Enjoy, enjoy...

Dance Beyond Brazil - Open Decks - Feb 19 2025

This is a full ecstatic dance wave, crafted under the influence of the Pisces moon, that takes you on a journey through a variety of sounds, rhythms, and types of music, offering you the opportunity to dive in and experience the rapturous experience of embodied movement and ecstatic dreaming.

Made this set in honor of the full moon in Sagittarius and the heat of summer... it's an ecstatic wave but also a really good time!  There's medicine music, deep bass, and lots of tropical beats at the top.  I wasn't gonna post this but I've gotten so much feedback from folks who just loved it... so here we go!

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.

Big gratitude for all the artists and lovers for the amazing being.

✨Maitri is Loving-Kindness, and Compassionate Friendship.  It's part of the name I was given, and what I hope to bring more of to the world in the dance spaces I help co-create.

Visionary Artist and Medicine Woman 

Ximena - Xhiva

A Musical Journey: From Goa Trance to Organic House, Electronic,  Downtempo & Indie.

I started my path in Art and Shamanism in 1995, expressing through sound on my DJ journey since 2001, during Bolivia's first electronic music scene. Fueled by my passion, I played of Goa and Psy Trance, with a fusion of world and ethnic sounds, mixing genres to create captivating musical voyages as Dj Xhiva. After a pause of 12 years, I return to the mixer with renewed energy and musical projects, curating and producing TRIBAL Nights in Zurich, other musical concepts and artistic experiences as Visionary Art week and PULSAR Zurich. Open for artistic collaborations and connections with independent artists worldwide.

A transformative journey through the unknown space that created in a real time musical session.
“Kulam” means everybody in Hebrew, each and every one of the participants and musicians is taking a significant part of the journey. 
Every journey is followed by different musicians with one high intention - to totally surrender to the ecstatic motion of the voyagers, to sense their vibe and emotions, and to transform themselves into a live open channel of divine creativity - and together we may reach to high level of conciseness, awareness, and deep ecstatic state of being.
The intention of this experiment is to explore the magical state of "here and now", help connect humans to their source of their spontaneous being, and to achieve a common frequency of bliss & harmony.
We are travelling around the world with the invitation to gather talented and sensitive musicians and create one-time sessions- if you are one, please let us know.
