LOVE IN MOVEMENT

Join us for Ecstatic Dance Rio, a vibrant community dance experience promoting freedom, connection, and self-expression in a judgment-free space.

Ecstatic Dance Rio is a conscious dance party where you dance barefoot, however you want, in a judgment-free space. A space of pure joy and freedom, where everyone can express their emotions and true self as they feel in the moment. An experience of liberation through the authentic expression of the body and essence — without alcohol, without cell phones, and without small talk!

Here, the invitation is to get out of your mind and dive into your body.

It’s not about the appearance of the movement; it’s about how you feel.

You will be encouraged to move with total freedom — exactly as your body desires.

No dance experience is necessary — 

just come with an open heart and a willingness to move.

Let’s celebrate community, freedom, and joy through movement!

Ecstatic Dance is an open invitation for people of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences to free themselves from their inhibitions, open their hearts, and let go completely. The dance floor transforms into a space of free and authentic expression, where there is no right or wrong, only movement.

Often, people only allow themselves to dance in a nightclub or under the influence of alcohol. In Ecstatic Dance, the music starts softly and gradually increases in intensity, inviting bodies to move in an intuitive and wild way. The energy in the room grows alongside the beats, and the dance becomes a visceral experience, where the music and healing energy penetrate deeply.

By moving consciously, Ecstatic Dance provides a release of the "inner fire," allowing internal energy to purify and elevate through the power of music and movement.

Get ready for an intense and transformative experience. In Ecstatic Dance, you'll jump, spin, shake, and sweat to the sounds of vibrant and contemporary beats.

With ecstasy in the name and ecstasy by nature, the well-being endorphins come into play with the music, so be prepared for smiles, wild movements, shouts, and hugs from a community of conscious dancers as we rise into this ecstasy in an almost trance-like meditative state.

As the musical journey reaches its peak, it gently slows down, guiding everyone into a meditative and tranquil state, concluding with a sound meditation where silence and inner connection take over.

CACAO CEREMONY

In this gathering, you will have the opportunity to participate in a cacao ceremony, an ancestral ritual that invites us to expand our state of presence and intuition in a light and loving way. This opening ritual will enhance heart-opening, bringing a deep connection to your emotions, promoting the expansion of consciousness, and reconnecting you to your true essence and nature. After absorbing the effects of the cacao and all its energy, it will be the perfect moment to celebrate and surrender to the transformative experience of Ecstatic Dance.

AKSHI • ECSTATIC DANCE DJ SET

Akshi is a therapist, facilitator, and organizer of conscious celebration events, driven by a deep passion for touching the hearts and souls of people through unique experiences that encourage healing, personal growth, and spiritual awakening.

Fueled by a fascination with music, Akshi has discovered a unique approach to guiding people on an inner journey, where music serves as a guide and the body as a deep source of answers.

As the founder of the One Love Institute, Akshi is dedicated to inspiring and supporting individuals on their journey to remember their true essence and unlock their full potential. Additionally, he plays a key role in the Path of Love, an international transformational process that continues to touch and transform lives around the world.

Come as you are. Dance what moves you.

In Ecstatic Dance, there are no performance expectations. It’s not about impressing yourself or others. It’s about taking a deep breath, immersing yourself in the rhythm, and letting your body guide you, listening not with your ears, but with every cell.

Your body knows exactly what it needs. Even if your mind wants to interfere with thoughts like “I can’t dance” or “I look ridiculous,” this is the moment to go beyond those voices. Allow yourself to let your body express itself freely, in whatever way it desires.

Let go. Allow yourself. Live the Ecstasy.
