Ecstatic Dance Facilitator & DJ Training on the Island of the Gods
Learn to create and hold transformational Ecstatic Dance journeys through movement, music, energy and conscious facilitation.
ECSTATICA is an immersive 8-day training in Bali for those who want to deepen their own experience of Ecstatic Dance while learning how to consciously create and facilitate transformative dance journeys for others.
Limited to 8 participants, this is an intentionally small and intimate training in a private sanctuary in Ubud, Bali.
You’ll learn the practical skills of conscious facilitation, DJing and music curation, and how to work with music, movement, energy and your presence to create a powerful and transformational journey.
At the heart of this training is energy.
You’ll explore how energy moves through the body, how movement can activate and shift energy, and how to become more sensitive to the energetic field of a dance space. Through embodied energy activation, movement, breath, voice and the elements, you’ll deepen your ability to feel, work with and move energy consciously.
You’ll dance every day. You’ll experience the work in your own body. You’ll explore your relationship with energy, movement, voice and nature, and learn how to consciously work with these elements when you’re holding space for others.
The deeper you know the journey within yourself, the more naturally you can guide others through theirs.
By the end of ECSTATICA, you’ll have developed the practical skills, energetic awareness and embodied experience to create and facilitate your own Ecstatic Dance journeys, in a way that is authentic to you.

Your lead facilitator - Deva
Deva Dancing Songbird has been immersed in Ecstatic Dance, conscious movement and transformational practices for more than 25 years. Her work brings together movement, energy, consciousness, expression and deep experiential practice.
Her journey with Ecstatic Dance began in 2001. In 2012, she began hosting Ecstatic Dance events and creating spaces for people to explore movement, expression, energy and consciousness through dance.
She began teaching yoga in 2001 and has worked with energy and as a channel for over 25 years. Her work has evolved through decades of direct experience, practice and working deeply with people and transformational processes.
Over the years, Deva has brought together her experience in Ecstatic Dance, conscious movement, yoga, energy work, voice, elemental practices and ceremony to create her own distinctive approach to working with movement and energy.
In December 2026, Deva is hosting her fifth Ecstatic Dance Facilitator Training, continuing to share the practical and experiential knowledge she has developed through over many years of facilitating Ecstatic Dance and creating transformational spaces.
Her approach is deeply experiential. She teaches from what she has lived and practiced, with a strong emphasis on energy, embodiment, authenticity and the ability to genuinely hold space for others.
Through Ecstatica, Deva shares both the practical skills of Ecstatic Dance facilitation and the deeper understanding of energy, presence and consciousness that informs her work.
