Journey is the destination

I decided to continue the dance events project I started in Iceland few months back. The project is combining my big passion for psychedelic chillout and cosmic downtempo music with gratitude practice. The idea behind the Gratitude Dance events is to see trance dance experience journey as a form of gratitude practice. Bring with you all your blessings that you would like to give thanks for and see how powerful transformation can happen when you start to practice gratitude on the regular basis. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to host the events in such amazing and magical space that AUM Sound Healing Centre is. There is herbal sauna and bonfire throughout entire evening and healing live instruments and singing jam around the fire at the end for soft and safe landing.

Event description:

Expressing gratitude reduces stress, increases optimism and actually changes our brain. We can't think about better way of expressing gratitude than doing so with ecstatic dance with your loved ones around bonfire and relaxation in herbal sauna.

Dancing is active meditation. When we dance we go beyond thought, beyond mind and beyond our individuality to become one in the divine ecstasy of the union with the Cosmic Spirit. This is the essence of trance dance experience.

"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.”

– Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth

"Study after study has shown that people who are habitually grateful are happier than those who are habitually ungrateful; they are less depressed, more satisfied with their lives, have more self-acceptance and a greater sense of purpose in life. They are also more generous."

– Rupert Sheldrake, Science And Spiritual Practices

Music will be carefully selected by our artists who are in constant search for pure sounds within all subgenres in spectrum of electronic and shamanic grooves in order to send you on interesting and full of surprises, healing dance journey.

Take with you all the things you would wish to thank for and see how the magic of being grateful brings the stream of new opportunities flowing towards and around you.

We encourage you to bring a little piece of paper with the thing you want to give thanks for written down on it. There will be a special bowl for putting it and at the end of the journey everyone will can read it in order to get new inspiration.

It is never an easy process to start new things in new places though. It requires lots of patience, work, courage and faith. But does really being successful is the goal? Or maybe the process of creation and overcoming all resistance that you can meet is the goal itself? It seems like the latter, and when I am only able to see it clearly enough I am able then to see how big blessing it is to struggle and create something out of nothing in such an amazing world. It is not the struggle with negative connotations then, it is taking part in sacred game, game of life. And then it reminds me off Alan Watts famous speech about the dreams:
