Ecstatic Dance Winter Festival 07.-09.03 2025
In march we are opening a *heart* warming festival space full of liveliness, encounters and dance.
There is a lot of ecstatic dance, a cacao ritual, yoga, workshops on contact improvisation, authentic relating and meditation.
Since we are together in this wonderful place all weekend, we have the opportunity to immerse ourselves even deeper in the dance and the community. More and more people are now coming from all over Germany and Europe. We look forward to meeting many new people❤️
A large beautiful gym with high ceilings for dancing. A good 150 people can dance here with plenty of space.
We also rent a large hall for workshops, singing groups, playing and getting together.
There is a great room for the children with creative materials and toys. Of course, the children can be there anywhere, but here they also have their own area.
The school kitchen is served by a great cooking team with lovingly homemade vegetarian organic food. There are 3 meals a day and delicious hot drinks that can be booked as a whole package. (Gluten-free and vegan possible)
There are some classrooms that we can use to sleep. Here and in the hall (after dancing) there is the opportunity to sleep. There will also be a women-only classroom.
If you want something more private there are Air bnb apartments nearby or a great hostel in town. and much more

Ecstatic Dance
Dancing and movement is my medicine.
Aniketa is a passionate Ecstatic Dance Djane, transformation facilitator in 1:1 sessions I CranioSacral Work I Shamanic Body Knowledge.
Her sets are a journey in itself: playful, powerful, ecstatic and deep at the same time.
My intention is to create a sacred and safe space where we can reach far out as a community and embody ourselves as human and spirit.
Djane Uhla
Lea Uhle, Somatic Dance Facilitator & DJ and yoga teacher. I am constantly exploring my own dance and movement practice in a curious and playful way that inspires me to share the freedom and power of free dance with others.
A fusion of Somatic Dance and Ecstatic Dance
In the first music wave I will guide you through impulses, my words and a specific theme | embodiment to dive into deeper layers of your body, explore new movements and find your authentic, free expression. The Somatic Dance wave creates a deep but gentle transition into the classical Ecstatic Dance space. In both waves, you can look forward to a diverse and colorful soundscape - with a wide variety of qualities, moods and genres.

Rike has been living in the northern Black Forest, her home, for two years now. Her work with Yoga, Embodiment, Psycho Neuro Energetics and Breathwork aims at a new flow of life energy and the reconnection with oneself in order to work from this loving and living connection into one's own environment.
Workshop Himalayan Kundalini Kriya & Embodied Movement
With Pranayama and Himalayan Kundalini Kriya, we will coax body and voice out of their reserve and create a space in which we can feel ourselves more finely and perceive energy movements more consciously. I look forward to creating a vibrant and light-filled field with you in which we can experience our inner freedom, strength and gentleness in a new way.
Bodywork with Alica Scheer and Sonja Schell
We invite you to sink, integrate and let go together. Space is opened up for intuitive touch and connection. Come as you are, we create a framework in which you can trust your body intelligence.
Alica Scheer
My experience of bodywork is made up of my experience from my osteopathic training and my ever-growing journey of exploration in my dance experiences.
Sonja Schell
My vision is to support people to feel their love for life and connect with their body wisdom to let go of the old and feel free and alive. I offer individual lessons in transformative bodywork, workshops for embodiment and couple dance and Fluentbody for groups. Further information at somatics-freiburg.de
Beweg dich ganz frei
