“Conscious Dance Festival was my very first dance festival ever. It felt scary and exciting to join because I wasn't sure what to expect. I wasn't sure am I the kind of person this festival was for. Luckily all my worries were proven unnecessary. You made me feel welcome from the very beginning. The festival was full of so many small details that made me appreciate how much love and thought you had put to make it happen. I think you people are doing something truly beautiful. I am so grateful for this experience. Hope to dance with you again soon!" Anni Sirkka

“I feel deeply gratitude for that weekend. It was stunning to dance with all the people, feel so much emotions by dancing, getting into flow out of mind, even if it was just for seconds. There were a few moments of body mind blowing, what it means to dance with myself. A new level of self consciousness.” Constance Künzel

“Conscious Dance Festival was just what my body and soul needed. I enjoyed the safety of the place, the trust. It enabled me to open up. Most of the techniques I knew from long ago, but going deeper into the experience was so beautiful and beneficial. It was a blessing for me.” Vineet Withopf

“It was a fulfilled, joyful, very intensiv experience for me!”

Constanze Fischer

"Tears in my eyes, a big smile on my face and new friends by my hands - let me call these the beautiful side effects of a weekend full of movement and stillness, rich in sound and in silence. Within and beyond all of that there had been an unspoken invitation. An invitation to meet myself. To explore who I am just a little bit more. This experience, in a way, has brought me back home - back into my heart. For that I am very grateful."  Omid Mohadjeri

“Vielen lieben und herzlichen Dank für dieses tolle Wochenende! Ich habe mich die ganze Zeit sehr wohl und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Das ganze Wochenende hat mich wieder mehr zu mir selbst und meinen Wurzeln als Bewegungsschaffende gebracht. Ich bin ziemlich erfüllt und geerdet am Sonntag nach Hause gefahren und fühle seit dem, dass die außen Welt anders und positiver auf mich zurück wirkt. Viele Knoten lösen sich gerade und es kehrt eine Leichtigkeit in mein Leben zurück.” Barbara Esch

“I feel soft, a strong connection and a detox inside of my body after both days. After the first day a lot of struggles came up and I felt shaky and sad. This energy was cleaned by the second day. It was amazing! Thanks for this journey." Lilith Roessler

“Es war eine ganz tolle Kombination von Workshops, fantastische Workshopleiter*innen und ein insgesamt sehr rundes abwechslungsreiches Programm. Mir hat es wirklich riesigen Spaß gemacht und die erwünschte Entspannung und „zurück in den Körper - raus aus dem Kopf“-Wirkung gebracht. Ganz ganz wunderbar.” C.B.

“¡Muchas gracias! I was flying on my bike with my aching body through sunny Berlin. I have seen so much beauty, felt so much love this weekend. Full of gratitude and inspiration.” Robert Winter

“The Berlin 2019 festival was incredible! So well organised and you could tell all the hard work the organisers put into formulating the line-up and structuring the programme. Each day of the weekend event built up gradually so that you didn't get too tired to enjoy it, and each facilitator added a new, intriguing element. It was a beautiful experience which left me feeling so naturally high, happy and inspired. Two days later I still feel the immense benefits from it. Thank you Dhyana and Lara for sharing this with us. Highly recommended.” Ciara Cunnane

“The best experience I had last year was at the Conscious Dance Festival: great organisation behind high level dancers, teachers, movement lovers who guided us –100+ people– through the discovery and managing of our energy.” Maria Vittoria Caputo
