Ecstatic Dance by Dj Colibri will be a book, documentary, YouTube channel, training manual and digital asset to serve and support the evolution of the conscious dance process, detailing its transformative impact on a global scale.
A book tour culminating in an ecstatic dance conference will be organized to promote this work and spread the message of poverty and evolutionary possibilities that emerge through ecstatic dance.
I will describe the origin of ecstatic dance in history, I will offer the scientific benefits of dance and music medicine. I will describe the inner processes of transformation, healing, empowerment, awakening to vision and meaning in life that take place during ecstatic dance journeys.
The goal is to remind readers and viewers of the importance of our embodied experiences, the value of movement, emotional health, connecting with ourselves, deepening our communication and relationship skills, and intentionally building conscious communication, starting with non-verbal dance.
I will offer a summary and a new vision of a humanity that moves, feels, is guided by instinct, intuition and inspiration, that is bold and confident to express itself with passion, purpose and meaning, creation and impact in all areas of relationship and creation, connection and being.
Who is behind the project?
Guy Barrington/Dj Colibri. I have been working in conscious dance for 30 years and teach internationally. I live in the Czech Republic and offer ecstatic dance tours all over the country. I have a passion for music and have witnessed many times the healing benefits of music and dance in creating a deeper connection with self and others as they become able to express and create from their gifts and talents and begin to create conscious communities based on friendship, respect and the deep values of life .
My editor and ally in this project is Dana Amma Day, who runs Positive Television and the Dance Medicine Project. Her partner is a documentary filmmaker and will support this project.
Ceri Tomas is also a published author and will coach me on writing, support editing and content organization.
Then there are all the dancers, djs and musicians I am in contact with who are excited to support this project and the growing movement of ecstatic dance and conscious movement in the world.
Together we love dance and know the power of this work to change lives. We want to offer this project to the world to realize the importance of movement, emotional health and well-being, and connecting with our visions and values to live a deeply meaningful life.
In a time of increasing disconnection from our embodied experience, increasing depression and confusion, this book and accompanying documentary ecstatic workbook and training will serve as a light in the darkness to guide us to live from our nature and authentic embodied experience so that we can expand our dance into world and bring into the world a new era of integrated, harmonious, joyful, expressive people who naturally bring kindness and beauty to life.
