The Dance of Angels Ecstatic Dance Sept 4 2026 @ Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple Woodstock

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the dance floor last night at Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple & Meditation Center as part of ArterraFest 2026.

Special thanks to Rebecca and John Hegner, everyone who helped bring ArterraFest together, and Sven and Julie for hosting.

Deep gratitude to Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple for welcoming us into such a beautiful and tranquil space, with special recognition to Rebecca and the monks at the temple.

And thank you to every dancer who showed up, moved, connected, and helped create the experience.

Ecstatic dance saved my life. I’m grateful to keep sharing the gospel of ecstatic dance with all of you.

I love you all.

Dance Forever!

After Music on the Square, head over to Blue Lotus Temple for Ecstatic Dance.

I’ve put together a 90-minute DJ set that starts slow and mellow, builds gradually into higher energy music, and then slows back down at the end.

There’s a lot mixed into this one — world music, percussion, electronic, melodic and funky house, medicine music, with some familiar sounds from the 1980s, 2000s and today.

Never tried Ecstatic Dance before? No choreography or dance experience needed.

From ArterraFest:
“Woodstock knows how to do Friday night music. 🎶

AMPLIFIED brings live music, and a little something more, to the Square, all put together by Carrie MacDonald, Ken Johnson, & John Hegner.

It’s shaping up to be an outstanding night!

Then go get your body grooving at the Blue Lotus Temple where you can vibe with DJ Big Heart-Chicago❤️guiding your journey.”

Scan the QR code or check the link in my bio for tickets to the ecstatic dance. We already have a great turnout for the dance from the pre-sale tickets.
If you are thinking about going, I strongly encourage you to purchase a ticket in advance (donation based)
