Osara ~ Ecstatic Dance w/ Live Music & Sound Bath
Osara is a DJ, Ecstatic Dance and Embodiment Facilitator; and a Ceremony Leader based in Bristol, UK. He's the founder of Ecstatic Dance Bristol and Ace Collectiv, which are home to an ever evolving, vibrant conscious community in the beating heart of Bristol city.

Ecstatic Dance & DJ Experience
Osara has DJ’d and facilitated at Ecstatic Dances in Costa Rica, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Oslo, Brighton, Helsinki, Dallas and Wales and many other places. He has also DJed and led Ecstatic Dances at Envision Festival (Selva Armonia), Medicine Festival, Boomtown, Lovejam, amongst others festivals and events. He is the longest serving resident DJ for Ecstatic Dance UK, London.

Music Styles
Osara uniquely combines the worlds of dance music and sound system culture with prayer, mindfulness and ritual, to create transformative dance journeys that are ever evolving and responding to the spirit of time, community and place.

He loves to push the musical boundaries of Ecstatic Dance, taking the journey into the depths and to the edges, incorporating experimental, underground and unique genres and music styles. He finds inspiration from many scenes of music, especially underground dance music from the UK and around the globe; and from sound system, club and rave culture synonymous with the UK. Expect Afro House, Techno, Tribal, Jungle, Drum & Bass, Rave, UK Funky, Global Bass, UK Bass, 140, Folktronica, South American Bass Music and more; along with Ceremony, Medicine, Folk and World music; and always a few surprises in between.

Live Music
Osara combines live singing and percussion with electronic music in his sets, giving them more depth, quality and atmosphere. He also creates live Sound Baths with drums, vocals, shakers, flutes, Koshi chimes and more.


Kyle Rose (Journey2the1) ~ Live Music & Sound Bath
Kyle Rose (FKA Kyle Medford-Hawkins) from the Journey2the1 collective shares sacred melodies from different lineages of indigenous peoples from across the globe. Kyle is a mixed culture multi-instrumentalist medicine man and uses earth based sacred sounds to craft Sound Journeys which sooth the soul and open the heart to the cosmos.

This will be his final sharing in the UK and for Ecstatic Dance Bristol, as he is moving to Portugal to help run and facilitate at a permaculture retreat centre on the Spanish border. Part of his mission is to open a bridge for his home community in Bristol to this new land in Portugal. Get ready to dance the trance with him as he will be bringing all his tools and energies to say a true fare well.
