Leila & DJ Leela
LEILA is an artist sharing her passion and gifts for intuitive and ecstatic arts, mindful & ancient tea ceremonies, as well as plant medicine journeys with her partner DJ Leela. You can often find her facilitating ceremonies/journeys and co-creating a safe space with other mindful practices. She has a mixed background of both from the East and the West, with experiences in the business world as well. She practices the way of balance, Taoism and ISTA - and felt drawn to bridge her vision connecting both sides (e.g. Reality and Spirituality; Light and Shadow). She loves sharing her vision to exchange our own gifts, and integrating the ancient wisdom into a mindful lifestyle.
DJ LEELA - Amsterdam-based DJ & handpan musician. Sharing love & awareness through Ecstatic Dance, (Tantra)gatherings and intimate journeys. Leela means in Sanskrit The Dance of Life.
LEILA AND DJ LEELA are a team. It seems no coincidence that they met at an event where Awareness & Exploration were the main ingredients. Both names are derived from Sanskrit as “In our daily experience, embracing the dance of life with a hint of playfulness, including the waves of bright & dark matters and sunshine & rain…” It applies to the attitude for what they do. They feel privileged to weave their creativity and experience into both their love-life and by offering their services as a team to you.
ECSTATIC DANCE AND CO-CREATED ARTS JOURNEY - (Day 1 - Thu 21:00 - 22:30) - Join us for an ecstatic and creative journey - through Ecstatic Dance and Art (including live music, movements, dance, meditation, and co-created painting) with DJ Leela and visual artist Leila. This is a powerful combination of freely expressing your power or 'just being you' in a safe environment, to relax, connect with yourself and others, and create something beautiful collectively.
What is 'Ecstatic Arts'? We will guide you into an in-depth ecstatic journey following different waves, where you can connect deeper with yourselves and/or others, via dancing, painting, meditating, singing, in any way you like (with respect and consents)! Similar to Ecstatic Dance, the Arts form brings us to a more intuitive state with our own free-form visual expressions on the same canvas. As we believe everyone is an artist when the space is more open. All equipment will be provided. Join us!
