Ecstatic Dance Festival Türkiye Is Born

When people search Ecstatic Dance Festival Türkiye, they are not just looking for an event.
They are searching for the roots of a movement, the people behind it, and the vision shaping Ecstatic Dance in Turkey.

Ecstatic Dance Festival Türkiye was founded as a collective response to that calling.

It emerged from a shared intention to create a festival grounded in ritual, integrity, and conscious movement, honoring both international Ecstatic Dance culture and the land of Türkiye itself.

A First in a Sacred Space

Playing an Ecstatic Dance set at Tao Garden felt like a quiet but meaningful threshold.

There are rare moments when you encounter someone who doesn’t just use sound, but understands it as a living intelligence.

Hoy recibí una pregunta sobre la Inteligencia Artificial que, sin saberlo, tocó algo sensible en mí.
Y fue justamente eso lo que me llevó a escribir este artículo.

I was at home, just about to go out for a night walk. I had been eating some peanuts while publishing the first reel of my song —“Yo Soy Fuego,” a shamanic song that had taken me five days to edit. In that moment I could feel something heavy around me, like envious energies circling close.

Müziğin bir ritüele, dansın bir duaya dönüştüğü bir alan hayal edin. Nomad’ın Kalbi, işte tam da böyle bir buluşma noktası: Canlı müziğin, özgür hareketin ve kutsal anlatının iç içe geçtiği bir Ecstatic Konser.

In ancient Mayan tradition, cacao has been revered as a sacred plant medicine, often referred to as the "Food of the Gods." Used in ceremonies to open the heart and connect with higher energies, cacao holds a central role in rituals of gratitude, transformation, and healing. Today, this powerful tradition continues to inspire modern spiritual practices across the world.

I’m in a process—well, we’re always in a process—but I’m deeply loving this one. It’s a moment of growth and expansion like never before: I’ve never had so much music, so many ideas, or experienced so much self-discovery. Maybe I’ve never looked so deep inside, without fear of judging myself.

I feel like I need to share this process with you, so you can understand why I’ve been silent. I don’t know how it is for you, but I need a lot of space and silence.

Decidí escribir antes de preparar la ceremonia maya de apertura para Kepotopival 2024 en Berlín, donde Marie Sophie me invitó a participar el 28 de agosto de este año.

Hay un tema que siempre está presente en mí: el femenino. Hoy me siento triste. El maltrato hacia la mujer debe detenerse de inmediato y erradicarse como proyección del dolor y traumas del masculino. Cada vez que me llega el dolor de una mujer causado por el masculino, siento una profunda tristeza.

I'm not sure if this is a gender-specific trait, but whenever something new enters my life, there's an obsession in me to understand it completely. After our music production class yesterday, I struggled with configuring the virtual cable in OBS to capture the main outputs of Ableton Live and my voice from the UAD mixer. The goal was to record a video tutorial while playing "Temple of Isis" from Ableton, rather than using the bounce.

In music, few compositions transcend the boundaries of sound to create a profound emotional journey. "Moon Goddess," has recently achieved a milestone of 42,000 plays.

Drawing upon my unique blend of musical expertise and psychological insight, we'll unravel how the emotional profile remains balanced, emotional dynamics reach a medium intensity, and energy levels fluctuate while maintaining a consistently high dynamic throughout the composition.

As I embarked on my winter tour, leaving the vibrant energy of Turkey behind, I found myself caught in the mystique of anticipation. Each destination held a promise, a gift waiting to unfold. From the coastal beauty of Izmir to the bustling streets of Istanbul, my journey has been taking me on a path of self-discovery.

When I discovered the incredible work that Anna Stevens Harrington is doing, I didn’t hesitate to support and spread it by remixing “Power of Plants”. It’s an enchanting remix of Anna’s soulful chant, celebrating the healing power of plants and curanderos.

Have you ever wondered how certain individuals, particularly women, possess the remarkable ability to ignite one's creative spirit, leaving a lasting imprint on the canvas of artistic expression? In this personal blog post, I'll delve into my experiences as an artist, reflecting on how extraordinary women who've graced my journey have become the driving forces behind my creative endeavors and how their words have left an indelible mark on my creative soul.

Living amidst the lush embrace of the jungle in Tulum, Mexico, I found myself drawn to the ethereal whispers that resonated through the dark night. The crickets, with their delicate symphony, became my companions, their whispers intertwined with the very essence of my being.

It was a hot summer day in Merida Yucatan, Mexico, and I was just a young aspiring music producer with a dream in my heart and a fire in my soul. As fate would have it, that day would change my life forever.

Dear beautiful souls,

Relationships can be a beautiful and transformative experience, but they can also be challenging and difficult at times. When your male partner's masculine energy is triggering reactions and creating distance between you, it can feel overwhelming and confusing. However, it's important to remember that this is an opportunity for growth and healing for both of you. Here are some tips on how to find balance and communicate effectively in a challenging relationship:

En 2021, durante la pandemia, tuve una serie de ataques de pánico estando solo en mi departamento en Condesa, Ciudad de México. Mientras vivía mi "sueño" de "rockstar", yo diría de rockstar tóxico. 

Writing is one of the best practices we can do when waking up; it allows us to scan, what is going on inside, and by coming out, we feel a sense of relief. There are so many stories going on in our lives that worth telling. Our perspectives and teachings are unique. They are like the song of life inside us waiting to be born. 

Every journey has a lesson for us. And for me, I consider every person as a journey. I feel every individual as a mirror, and I'm always listening and watching what I can learn from this new person in my life. 

This is a journey to the interior, a journey to the real me, a trip of being reflected in the other and staying calm while all your shadow self gets reflected in the surface of your thoughts. This is a journey of the unconscious, of the ego masking your weakness by playing the guru role. This is the journey of not getting any advice but listening to your intuition. This is a journey of vulnerability. Who is ready for being vulnerable? Who's ready to write the truth? Who's ready for listening to the truth? Who's ready for being itself? Who's ready for its maximum expression?
