:::About MOSE:::
“Great music is that which carries the present minded listener to the doorstep of infinity. All music already exists the musician is here in service to remove a bit of the veil and let some of it through into this physical space. Through the use of a steady hypnotic beat, paired with ethereal voices and melodies we can release into the void and remember who we are - we are one.”
Mose is based in Guatemala on the beautiful volcanic crater lake of Atitlán where cacao ceremonies, kirtan, and ecstatic dance have had a major influence on his productions and DJ style. It is here that he founded regular cacao dances where members of the community have the opportunity to journey deep into dance while held in a ceremonial container, free of alcohol.
Beyond the multicultural rhythms and the steady hypnotic beat, Mose weaves ephemeral chanting of sacred songs and calls to love, kindness and compassion, often bringing in live musicians to create something improvisational connected with that particular place and time. He creates with the intention to set a foundation for self discovery and the cultivation of a present minded state which offers new insights and deeper clarity in ones purpose.
DANCE GUIDELINES:
THE DANCE FLOOR IS A SACRED SPACE.
We try to keep a silent container on our dance floors to encourage participants to stay with the dance without distraction. All bodies, movements & emotions are welcome during our dances as long as your actions hold respect for those around you.
There will be areas where you can talk and connect with community outside the main dance floor area.
1. We Dance Without Words - to drop into a meditative state with the dance.
2. We dance barefoot - to connect to the earth (shoes are ok if needed for medical reasons!)
3. We Dance As We Are - No Drugs/Alcohol
