Ecstatic Dance Northants with DJ Monika
Our Next Dance
- Step into a soul-nourishing journey of movement, music, and connection. Join us for a special Ecstatic Dance in the breathtaking Wild Meadow- dancing barefoot under the open sky, surrounded by a warm, open-hearted community.
A 2 hour soulful DJ set by our amazing Monika (DJ Moni X), with support from JanJan Drumming, creating space to explore movement and reconnect through rhythm and flow. We begin
with a gentle warm-up activity to tune in and close with a
grounding sound bath session, letting the dance settle and
integrate into our lives. Then we’ll also enjoy time together around the fire and a shared some yummy food.
I’m Monika, a DJ, therapist and founder of @ecstaticdancenorthants and @alchemy.of.presence . My journey into ecstatic dance began with a desire to connect deeper with myself and others through the universal language of music and movement. For me, music isn’t just sound; it’s medicine for the soul, a tool for transformation, and a doorway to presence. Over the past years, I’ve woven my love for healing, meditation, and DJing into unique ecstatic dance sessions where we explore freedom, connection, and joy together.
What’s an Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement practice—
a safe space to express yourself freely without judgment.
Through rhythm and movement, we release stagnation,
awaken our vitality, and enter a natural state of flow.
