Ecstatic Dinner & Dance at the Conscious Castle

Dear lover of life, join us on Friday 23 October at the Conscious Castle in Verlaine for an evening that mixes shared food and free dance. We begin with a communal, lovingly prepared dinner to open your senses and create warmth around the table. After a short pause for guests who come only to dance, we gather for an opening circle and then move into an alcohol- and phone-free Ecstatic Dance set by local hero DJ Shango. Expect conscious, nourishing beats, an invitation to move how you wish, and a gentle closing with tea to land back together.

Program:
- 18:00–18:30 arrival
- 18:30 communal dinner begins (Indonesian-inspired dishes from Karijo’s Kitchen)
- 19:30 break — arrival for those joining for the dance only
- 20:00 opening circle and start of dancing with DJ Shango
- 23:00 closing and aftermath tea

If you want to linger, you can book a tower room and stay the night; for reservations email theconsciouscastle@gmail.com or send a WhatsApp to Danny at +31653132679. Tickets are available as Dinner & Dance or Only Dance; there is an extra €5 surcharge for door tickets. Accommodation for one night can also be booked.

Wear anything comfortable and breathable that allows free movement and makes you feel good in your body. The dance follows Ecstatic Dance guidelines: be free, dance without judgment, barefoot, present, phone- and camera-free, alcohol- and substance-free, embodied and consensual; no chit chat on the dancefloor — if it is not a clear yes, it is a no.

You are invited to arrive with openness and curiosity, to share the table, and to express yourself through movement in a safe, held space inside a 13th-century castle.
