Alex Anand Aman is the first international Ecstatic DJ from Russia & the founder of Ecstatic Dance Moscow.
Through meditation and celebration I started to live my life by learning to enjoy every move in the moment“.
“The most important and transformative experience was a dance without fear, that learned me to express myself to be real you want to be.
For me Ecstatic Dance is a dancing celebration of life, where you can release yourself in the dance. I always liked to dance and I like to share emotional state through the music. Now I create a journey through the different music styles, that brings the dancing being in totally celebration and grow up the moment without any reflections, just only dance.
My own dance expirience allows me to be connected with the people on the dancefloor. Music grows up in the moment of hier and now, where the separation between dance and dancing dissapears. I feel connected with all around and at the same time I am connected with myself.

Magda Kay
Workshop Leader – Healing Masculine & Feminine
My name is Magda. I am a sensuality & relationships coach. I work with women, men and couples helping them feel more sensual, bringing back the art of seduction, deeper connection and wider intimacy.
My lack of self-acceptance has caused me a lot. I stayed away from men, love and relationships until my late 20s. I was simply to scared that someone could see the “real me”, and then they would leave. The fear of being rejected, because I wasn’t embodying the real essence of femininity, has also caused me to battle depression by the time I was 27. I was fighting suicidal thoughts and attempts to hurt myself physically more than once. I was disconnected from my body, sensations and most of pleasure.
My own journey of healing has brought me to discover Tantra, Theta healing, sacred sexuality and reprogramming of subconscious programs. I finally started releasing layers of social conditioning around what it means to be a woman, and how to relate to others, allowing my true, wild and passionate self to come out.
