This one-on-one retreat is a deep dive into the transformative power of ecstatic dance DJing. Guided by our resident facilitator — an educator and a regular fixture on the Bali Ecstatic Dance scene with a background in Buddhist meditation — you’ll learn to master the art of creating journey-based sets while deepening your awareness of rhythm, energy, and flow. AYA Studios provides a world-class facility with high-end DJ equipment and an awe-inspiring natural setting—making it the perfect container for both creative growth and inner renewal.
Through hands-on workshops, one-on-one feedback, and live practice sessions, you will learn how to craft dynamic sets that move people emotionally and physically. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced DJ looking to expand your skills, you will gain both technical mastery and a deeper understanding of how to shape musical journeys for dance floors and sacred spaces.
