Ecstatica
Ecstatica is a celebration of life through music, dance, connection and conscious exploration.
Born on the island of Koh Phangan, Thailand, Ecstatica began as a gathering for people drawn to authentic expression, ecstatic dance, music, embodiment, personal growth and community. Over the years, it grew into a unique festival experience, bringing together people from around the world to dance, explore, connect, learn and celebrate life.
At the heart of Ecstatica is a simple invitation:
Come as you are. Connect deeply. Move freely. Celebrate fully.
After several years of festivals and gatherings, there will be no Ecstatica Festival in 2026.
We're taking a conscious pause from the festival format this year, allowing space to rest, reflect and explore what comes next.
During 2026, our focus is on local Ecstatica events on Koh Phangan and the development of our DJ training programmes, continuing to nurture the community and the spirit of Ecstatica in a more intimate way.
We are currently exploring the possibility of returning with an Ecstatica Festival in 2027.
The journey continues, just in a different form for now.
Not Dead, Just Paused
Ecstatica Festival is a multi-day immersive experience bringing together Ecstatic Dance, breathwork, live music, embodied movement, workshops, shamanic and consciousness-based practices, education, art, performance, play and community.
But Ecstatica has never simply been about a programme of activities.
It is about creating a space where people can step outside their everyday roles, reconnect with themselves and others, and experience the freedom of authentic expression.
From moments of stillness and meditation to wild dance floors, from deep conversations to laughter and play, Ecstatica embraces the full spectrum of being human.
Origins
Ecstatica was born on the crystal island of Koh Phangan, Thailand, in 2017, and quickly developed into a thriving international festival, attracting participants from around the world.
In 2023, the first European Ecstatica was held in Austria, expanding the vision beyond Thailand and bringing the Ecstatica experience, and our DJ training festival format, to a new community.
Today, Ecstatica continues to evolve as a conscious festival community, rooted in its origins on Koh Phangan, Thailand while remaining open to wherever the journey may lead, in Thailand and across Europe.
Our Ethos
We believe that movement can open doors to connection, that music can bring us together beyond language and culture, and that conscious celebration can be a powerful way to experience life more fully.
We create spaces where people can explore authenticity, connection, empowerment and celebration, from quiet moments of inner reflection to ecstatic movement and radical self-expression.
We believe in creating environments where people feel welcome to be themselves, explore their edges, connect with others and celebrate the extraordinary experience of being alive.
“Life is the dancer, and you are the dance.”

Our Core Values
01
We believe in showing up as we truly are. Ecstatica invites people to let go of masks and expectations and discover the freedom of genuine self-expression.
02
Connection is at the heart of everything we do. Through music, movement, dance, conversation and shared experience, we create opportunities for meaningful human connection and community.
03
We believe every person has the capacity to grow, explore and create change in their own life. Ecstatica offers experiences and practices that encourage self-discovery, creativity and personal empowerment.
04
Celebration is not something we save for special occasions. It is a way of relating to life. Through music, dance, play and presence, we celebrate the beauty of being alive.
The Journey Continues
We're continuing to create and support conscious events on Koh Phangan, develop our DJ training programmes, and nurture the community that has grown around Ecstatica over the years.
And we're looking ahead to 2027.
Could the festival return? We hope so.
