Saturday ECstatic

A 120 minute Ecstatic Dance Journey to a varied mix of music: ambient, world beats, electronic, house, hip-hop, new age and traditional, among others. Arrival begins at 7:30 PM and the Journey begins at 8 PM. Consult the calendar for exact dates.

The word “ecstatic” comes from the Greek “ek” (out) and “sta” (to stand), meaning “to stand outside of oneself.” Ecstatic Dance encourages us to step out of our minds and into our bodies, which offers numerous benefits for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Most English dictionaries describe ‘ecstatic’ as “feeling or expressing overwhelming happiness or joyful excitement.” However, Ecstatic Dance is also about embracing ALL emotions and giving them a physical outlet. This process can be cleansing and calming, fostering a deep sense of connection to ourselves, each other, and the universe.

At Ecstatic Dance Berne, we follow three simple rules: no shoes, no booze, no chit-chat. We create a safe, substance-free space for everyone to express themselves through movement without words. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, belief, race, gender, or sexual orientation. It’s about getting exercise, freeing your mind and body, and fostering connections in vibrant health. 

 Ecstatic Dance Berne is a great space to belong. 

Our gatherings begin with a guided warm-up, inviting participants into mindful awareness of their bodies and breath. Through facilitated activities and free movement, you’ll expand your repertoire of dance, develop body and emotional intelligence, and explore creative expression. 

Doors open at 7:30 PM and the journey begins at 8 PM. Whether you are new to conscious dance or a seasoned mover, each session fosters new insights and learning for mind and body.  

CHF 30.- (supporters), 25.- (regular price) and CHF 20.- for students / apprentices / AHV.

Every BODY can dance!

“Dance is the hidden language of the soul.”
