Ecstatic Dance Chiang Mai

In Ecstatic Dance we attune to rhythm, moving freely & without judgment where the music takes us.

Each dancer connects with themselves, while respecting the shared space. Everyone feels safe, yet able to try new things & push their edges!

Temples in Taiwan, some hundreds of years old, serve as community centers where Buddhism, Taoism and local folk religions blend. Revelers said the setting gave parties a connection to traditions that the clubs in Taipei lacked. “There is a bit of a spiritual feeling,” said Lin Hsin-hui, a university student. “There’s also a strong cultural atmosphere, a certain sense of immersion.”

A Taipei temple, nearly reclaimed by the forest, now draws hundreds of young people looking for a different kind of night out.

‘A church for the dispossessed, rave culture offered a way to find ecstasy amid agony, community from abandon, and meaning through resilience.’

In abandoned warehouses, forests and industrial ruins, vast congregations can be found dancing for hours to high-BPM electronic music. For these adherents, rave culture functions as a kind of spiritual technology; a set of environmental and social conditions that produce the kinds of experiences that humans have long called sacred.

This Idea explores multiple perspectives on the convergence between traditional spiritual encounters and embodied dancefloor experiences. It presents them both as ritualistic states characterised by openness, the dissolution of the ego, social ambiguity and potential transformation. https://psyche.co/ideas/why-raves-are-such-a-reliable-source-of-spiritual-experience
