Odysseus has been mixing elegant\, tribal beats in many forms\, since the mid-nineties\, often with live musicians. From the Southern California deserts to the Greek islands and Hawaiian rainforests\, his expansive sounds have honored many moons and brought many tribes together \nHe has woven joy-infused ecstatic dance journeys for dancers globally\, since their inception\, more than two decades ago constantly seeking to evolve and infuse the dance experience and the collective heartbeat with uplifting\, healing intentions through the lenses of seeker and alchemist… – Certified OG from the Mothership! \n \nBRIGITTE WITTMER // Movement Facilitaor\nInternational dance artist\, instructor\, performer\, and transformational movement guide. \nHer journey has taken her across more than ten countries—from the studios of Broadway Dance Center in New York to the somatic richness of Faculdade Angel Vianna in Rio de Janeiro. Rooted in contemporary dance and Brazilian social dances\, her path weaves through somatic education\, contact improvisation\, bodywork\, yoga\, gyrokinesis\, and transpersonal psychology. Brigitte’s passion is in integrating these worlds—guiding people into deeper connection with themselves through embodied movement and creative expression. \nAs part of her ongoing research\, she developed Liquid Leading—a practice that transcends traditional gender roles and invites each dancer to speak their truth through movement. It transforms dance into a co-creative language where stories can be exchanged\, not just performed. \n“To me\, dance is more than art or fitness—it’s a gateway. A tool for awareness\, expression\, healing\, and transformation. I hold space for play\, experimentation\, and deep listening—so you can return to your body\, your power\, and the ever-evolving dance of your life.” \nLet’s move together—and discover what’s possible when you remember the wisdom already living within you! \n \n \nA Consensual Environment \n*** As we come together in sacred movement practice\, let us remember to embody the values of consent and mindfulness. May we dance in reverence for each other’s boundaries\, always seeking clear permission before engaging in physical connection\, and maintaining awareness of the sacred space we share with our fellow dancers. \nIf at any point you find yourself in need of support or comfort\, know that you are not alone. Our Movement Church community is here to assist and guide you. Simply reach out to one of us\, and we will do our utmost to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your journey. \n\nAll are Welcome. \nEcstatic Dance is a Freeform Conscious Dance\, \nMixed by a Seasoned DJ for a Continuous Sonic Journey. \nMove however you wish\, without verbal guidance\, shoes\, or booze. \nMusic will flow through various Tempos\, Genres\, Intensities\, and Emotions\, so that Dancers may Experience\, Express\, and Transform their own Energies on the Dancefloor Together. \n \nEcstatic Dance can be your: \n1.
