WAUW! So much gratitude! This festival was rich, joyful, bold and soooo pure. It opened my heart and activated my body so deeply, that in the weeks after since then, I experience a lot of positive changes in my life. I would definitely by part of it next time again.

The freedom, the fun, the ecstasy, the music, the diversity of workshops/offerings, the food, the deep insights and the many learnings, the connection, the deep touch, the love, the unity in diversity... I could add many more words to the list. This festival is out of this world. Yet it is real. If you haven't been there - find out for yourself!

I enjoyed every moment! Wonderful music, beautiful connections with and without words, lovely dances, beautiful people. I saw and felt so much love, beauty and openness. The setting of the castle and the way everything was decorated… loved it! P.S. Every day we enjoyed delicious, honest and healthy food. I still feel energised by the experience and grateful that I got to start the new year this way. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience something truly special.

I feel so grateful to be part of this community. So much love and such a beautiful and safe space to grow connect enjoy and celebrate life together. Really together. Many thanks to you Jens and Rita for creating this. ❤️
Fralalai
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 in themselves as a meaningful and sacred experience that creates a beautiful field of love and connection around the performance which feels special.
Janneke
A place where I found my chosen family. Where I am invited to live my potential and express the ruff edges of my soul. All of me is welcome here!
Céline
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.
