EDFH Summer Edition 2026

7 t/m 12 July 2026, Kasteel de Berckt, Baarlo

VIBRATE · RESONATE · CELEBRATE

△ Your unique journey in an Unified Field △ We are all holding Space together.

During this 6-day journey, we invite you to feel, celebrate, and deepen. Let yourself be carried away by Ecstatic Dances, transformative workshops, live concerts, wellness moments, and healing ceremonies. Meet yourself, meet others, encounter life in all its magic.

Your journey is unique, but we walk together. Together we dance, we breathe, we open. Together we create a field where you come home to yourself.

THE RITHM OF THE WEEK
Ecstatic Dance is our heartbeat, with two dances every day. But the journey is yours to shape. Expect a flowing program of transformative workshops, live concerts, sound journeys, and ceremonies. We’ve created an line-up of both Dutch and international artists and facilitators who intuitively read and hold the field. It’s an invitation to completely lose yourself in movement, only to return and land in a deep, soulful stillness.

SLOW DOWN · RE-CHARGE · INTEGRATE
In between activities, there is plenty of space to land and integrate your experiences. Warm up in the saunas and hot tubs, or cool down in an ice bath. Find a quiet spot in the grass or walk to the Maas river for a refreshing swim. Our cozy lounge is always open for ceremonial cacao, meaningful conversations, a cuddle puddle, or simply a moment of pure rest…

OPEN STAGE
During our Open Stage, boundaries dissolve and we celebrate the tribe’s creativity. Do you have a hidden talent, an instrument traveling with you, or a spoken word piece that needs to be shared? Step into the spotlight and let the community carry you. Raw, real, and always unforgettable.

FUEL FOR THE SOUL
We offer a complete experience: all meals (organic and vegetarian) are included with your ticket. As for accommodation, choose the atmosphere that suits you: camping on the grass, bring your own camper-van, or book a comfortable room in the castle. Je mag natuurlijk ook zelf een plekje in de buurt zoeken.

AFTERMOVIE EDFH SUMMER EDITION 2025

Ecstatic Dance Festival Holland.

Your unique journey within a shared field. The Ecstatic Dance Festival Holland is the place to express your authentic self, be able to feel your deeper and higher truths and connect with like-minded people. Celebrating life together!


Connection – Resonance – Vibrations – Synergy- Alchemy – Divinity

Dancing bare feet

Ecstatic Dance is a conscious and free form of dance. Dance and move freely, the way you like it. We dance barefoot and there is no talking while dancing.

Connection

During the festival, we create a nice, healthy environment. So we do not use alcohol or drugs and phones only in your own room or tent. This is how we keep the energy conscious and pure.

Self-expression

Together we create a field in which we meet ourselves and each other from a higher and deeper consciousness, connecting from heart and soul. A place for discovery, deepening and self-expression.

Spiritual growth

Experience a deep connection. Our gatherings provide a place where we can fully celebrate life as ourselves, together in connection with other dancers!

First time at this amazingly beautiful festival. Even though I was here as a volunteer, I was able to take in a lot of the festival and meet beautiful fine people. It does me good to be able to receive and give so much love. An incredibly good start to the year!

Ecstatic Dance Festival Holland was a very valuable experience for me. A fantastic roller-coaster ride: connection, ecstatic feelings, intimate dancing, playfulness, creativity, triggers/process work, nature, good food, authentic expression and above all great organization. I am a regular customer.

Intense! Experienced so many (positive) emotions that left the "I" all-alone. In short, the "I" merged with everyone and everything. This allows you to clearly see when someone else could use your kindness, a wise word, or a loving gesture. Others then also act even more positively toward you. So that does make every-one happier. What a joy to come together like this and be together Wonderful people, impressive location and powerful co-creation!

What a fantastic week! Words don't do justice to that here. Thanks to the organization, the co-creators and in addition all the festival goers: this festival is experienced and made together, everyone contributed to it. This is... Why We Dance!

You don't have to travel to the other side of the world. You just come to the Ecstatic Dance Festival for a magical journey within yourself. I found it delightful and special again! Once again met beautiful people. I feel grateful and am already looking forward to next time.

What I value and appreciate is to feel how much the public is tuned into a fully receptive way of listening: they are not consuming the music, but rather they invite it into themselves as a meaningful and sacred experience that creates a beautiful field of love and connection around the performance which feels special.

I enjoyed the place, the people, the creators, the connections, the food, the music and the vibe. The Ecstatic Dance Festival Holland team arranges all these aspects into one beautiful event. This festival holds everything that I need to charge my battery, and every time it ends, I´m already looking forward to the next edition! It feels like coming home on a soul level.
