Chocolate Club

Organizer of Conscious Gatherings since 2004

We dance for freedom, connection, and health.
Together with our amazing crew of musicians, ceremony leaders, healers, and free spirits, we create spaces where anything can unfold.

Chocolate Club was founded in 2002 and was one of the first places where conscious clubbing and cacao came together. From the beginning, it has always been about 0% alcohol, 100% spirit — a celebration of life, full of dance, superfoods, saunas, hot tubs, ice baths, workshops, and ceremonies.

Today, we organize events like Ecstatic Dance Festival Holland and Het Grote Fijne Festival.
But whether it’s a big festival or an intimate club night:
we create a space to relax, connect, and celebrate life — exactly as you are.

You are welcome. Come as you are. Celebrate, connect, dance, breathe, laugh.

Chocolate Club

Our Mission

At Chocolate Club, we believe that health, connection, and celebration go hand in hand. Since 2002, we have been organizing conscious gatherings, ceremonies, and festivals that bring people together to dance, heal, and enjoy — alcohol-free, but full of energy, joy, and real connection.

We aim to create a movement that makes health contagious — a space where people feel free to be themselves, to relax, recharge, and celebrate life.
Our events offer moments to gather, dance, breathe, feel, and connect — with yourself and with others.

Besides our events, we offer high-quality organic cacao and pure natural scents, designed to deepen your rituals and moments of connection at home.

Whether you’re dancing at one of our festivals, joining a ceremony, or enjoying a cup of cacao in your own space — we invite you to celebrate life fully, with all that you are.

The Chocolate Club Timeline

2002
Establishment of Chocolate Club
Chocolate Club was created by Keung Man and Bastiaan Swager and Remy Draaijer: the first cocoa ceremonies organized in the Netherlands.

Along with other culinary experts & raw food coaches, were chef Jeramaya van de Sterren, Gaja Beukers, Roell Kerkhout and 'Raw-Chocolatier' Shanour Moens were also key driving forces during the early years of the Chocolate Club.

Chocolate Club stood for promoting superfoods, raw food, superfood smoothies - with cocoa in particular - and a conscious and healthy lifestyle in general. The terms raw food and superfoods, which came over from the U.S., were still alien to the general Dutch bourgeois consciousness at the time (No, we don't mean raw meat and anabolics!). Even "barefoot dancing" sounded all too floaty to many an ear back then.

2004
Conscious Clubnights
In 2004, Chocolate Club began the first Chocolate Clubnights, also known as "Conscious clubbing," meaning without alcohol. For over a year this was organized monthly and in various places. After this, Mirror Centre became our home where we could grow for several years in a very nice way and bring the community together.
