DJ - MOONFIRE
🌙Meet Moonfire, a luminary in the world of music and spirituality!
With a name that evokes the celestial, Moonfire brings forth a uniquely feminine and round sound that transcends genres. Her music, a vibrant fusion of beats, bass and melodies, is a testament to her deep-rooted spiritual connection.
Drawing inspiration from the cosmos and ancient traditions, Moonfire weaves together instrumentals, rhythmic drumming, and mesmerizing chants. Each composition is a journey, designed to lift the spirit and ignite the soul. Her curvaceous melodies lead to powerful bass drops, inspiring the primal instinct to dance.
But Moonfire's talents don't stop at the turntables. She's also a fire spinner, mesmerizing audiences with her captivating displays of elemental energy. As a Creatrix, she brings forth new realms of creativity, constantly pushing the boundaries of her craft.
In her sanctuary, The Feel Good Station, Moonfire has created a haven of positivity and intentionality. It's a space where music becomes a conduit for healing, and where every beat resonates with purpose.
Moonfire's artistry goes beyond mere entertainment; it's a spiritual experience, a journey through sound, and a celebration of the raw, elemental essence of life itself.
What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic dance is a free-form dance movement inspired and led by carefully crafted music with the intention of creating a healing journey. The music follows a wave form, starting slow, moving to a peak, and descending into stillness. No dance experience or partner is necessary or needed.
In Ecstatic dance participants gather to dance to music without the need of following the instructions of a leader. In Ecstatic Dance the music is the leader, and participants are free to weave their way through the music.
Ecstatic dance is an environment without observers, judgements, attitudes, conversations, shoes, alcohol, or substances. A space where everyone can feel safe to be spontaneous and move however their body wishes.
The intention of Rhythm Sanctuary is to create a safe and open space for freestyle dance movement, where individuals are encouraged to engage in a somatic journey both internally and with community.
