Lovers of conscious music, prayers & dance, we look forward to a special community event:
SHIMSHAI & AQUARIO on their magical “Roots & Prayers Tour“ through Europe
will celebrate a wonderful ceremonial concert with you in Lier.

The unique singer, guitarist and composer SHIMSHAI from California is loved and appreciated by his international fan base for his very mystical mix of Sanskrit mantras, Reggae, South American Folk and many original Medicine songs.
He is a luminary and one of the first modern medicine music composer/musicians that already released his first album ‘I sense your presence’ in 2001 with world-known songs like ’Roots’. Together with Tina Malia he set a milestone in the music history of spiritual music with the album ‘Jaya Bhagvan’ in 2004 and now looks back at eight own studio albums.

His concerts are like ceremonies, in which Shimshai’s charisma and clear authentic voice create an intimate and heart-opening space for all participants which also can end up into dancing joyfully ecstasy.

Shimshai, which name means ‘my sun’, is like a shining being, whose heartwarming expression, naturalness and pure intension takes the listener on a beautiful and deep musical journey.
Aquario is a world music artist creating mystical soundscapes and medicine songs.As a song collector, Aquario weaves his stories in several languages, but most profoundly in the universal language of love and oneness, through his heart-centered music.
As wayfarer of the musical world, he has collaborated with various international artists and lightened up the world of conscious and spiritual music again and again.
With his sensitive style – characterised by versatility and depth he forges a unique sound cosmos, known for captivating his audience and creating his very own spirit.
Wherever the singer and multi-instrumentalist finds himself in circles, concerts and ceremonies, he creates a divine presence and natural mystic energy, feeling home in the 'here and now' and swinging with the vibration that surrounds him.
Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to experience a concert of these two exceptional artists reuniting their music on an amazing ‚Roots & Prayers Tour’.

Come, Come, whoever you are and join the circle ! ❥

Ecstatic Dance :


What is ecstatic dance ?


Ecstatic dance is a unique dance experience where you can completely let go and merge purely with the music.
Ecstatic dance is essentially a meditative form of dancing where you are free to move however you like. There is no right or wrong. One person might wriggle across the floor, while another waves their arms wildly in the air. The idea is that by dancing, truly dancing, you enter a sort of trance that brings you closer to your essence. The world around you ceases to exist for a moment. It is truly ‘dancing like no one is watching’. A natural high.
The basic rules are simple.
No talking.
No alcohol.
No shoes.
Respect each other's space.

You can dance with others, but if you don't feel like it, calmly fold your hands in front of your chest. The most important thing is: dare to dance, dare to be ugly, and don't worry about others.
We start with an opening ceremony/dance lesson meant to connect with ourselves, the group, and the dance floor.

Workshop
Voice and movement liberation.
By Lise Orye.

Which prayers want to be expressed by your body and voice?
Which medicine wants to flow freely through you?
How can we, as human beings, find our freedom voice. The strength to express all that wants to be shown.
Not by words, but by letting our body move and our voice sing.

Inspired by the Roots and Prayers tour of Shimshai and the Poetry in Motion medicine of Caroline S'jegers, I will take you on a journey of voice- and movement liberation.

How free do you let your voice flow?
How free do you let your body move to its own rhythm?
In this workshop we will dive in to the world of voice liberation and intuitive movement. Separately and woven together as one beautiful tapestry of free expression.

Together we search for our own unique medicine. For our prayers. For our body-wisdom.
By connecting to our roots, singing from our heart and letting our body speak.

The perfect warm-up to a beautiful concert full of music that touches our hearts and a dance which will integrate all that we felt.
