Step into a Bold New Era

A five day immersive festival experience brimming with Ecstatic Dance, Breathwork, live music, embodied movement, shamanism, education, play, art and performances among a vibrant community.

Ecstatica sparks personal growth and the inspiration to become the change our world needs.

Ecstatica originated on the crystal shores of Koh Phangan, Thailand, in 2017, and quickly evolved into a vibrant festival attracting a global community. As its popularity and scope expanded, Ecstatica found a new home at Ängsbacka in 2024. Now, we are proud to announce Ecstatica’s return to Ängsbacka in 2025—extended to five full days—providing even more time to immerse, explore, and dive deeper into the festival’s transformative experiences.

Join us in celebrating life, love, community, and our profound connection with nature.

Embrace the unknown, embrace love, and seize every moment to live life to its fullest.

Welcome to Ecstatica – The adventure begins with you.

Whether you arrive as a solo attendee or with friends you are warmly welcomed, provided you are 18 years or older.

During the event, expert facilitators from diverse breathwork traditions will come together to offer workshops representing a broad spectrum of approaches. At the heart of the festival’s mission is creating an inclusive community that encourages open dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collective growth for all participants immersed in these experiences.

Embodied movement

Throughout the festival, you’ll be provided with opportunities to explore a variety of embodied movement practices. These holistic practices seamlessly integrate the mind, body, and spirit. Whether it’s morning yoga, Qigong, playful Martial Arts, African Dance or Shamanic Trance Dance, there’s something for everyone to explore.

Join the festival

Journey into boundless joy and connection at Ecstatica, where every moment is a dance of the soul.

Meditation, Sound baths & stillness

Nestled within the lush forests of Ängsbacka, Ecstatica welcomes you into a serene woodland haven where rejuvenating gong baths and guided meditations invite personal reflection, stillness, and deep connection with nature’s healing energies. Amid the gentle resonance of gongs and the calming hush of the forest, find space to nurture your mind and soul, discovering profound moments of renewal and clarity. After last year’s resounding success, we’re thrilled to bring forest bathing back, offering once again a deeply restorative experience that allows you to immerse yourself fully in the forest’s tranquil embrace.

Talks and seminars

Explore a diverse spectrum of talks and seminars at Ecstatica. Delve into “Biohacking for Mind and Body Optimization” for insights into enhancing mental and physical well-being. Find solace in “Mindfulness and Meditation for Everyday Life,” where practical techniques reduce stress and foster inner peace amidst a fast-paced world. These sessions inspire personal growth and transformation within the festival’s vibrant atmosphere.

SWEATLODGE & TEMAZCAL

We’re delighted to offer the opportunity to experience the rich traditions of both Celtic and Temazcal (Mexican) sweat lodges. These distinct practices are unique and rejuvenating rituals for the cleansing and renewal of body and mind. Immerse yourself in these culturally significant spaces, connecting with ancient traditions from different corners of the world, and receive their transformative benefits.

ICE BATH & SAUNA CEREMONY

Our guided sauna ritual, infused with healing herbs, is a celebration of heat and purification. As you bask in the warmth, prepare for the thrilling contrast of the invigorating ice bath, a practice known to stimulate and improve circulation. It’s a harmonious blend of relaxation and revitalization in one unforgettable ceremonial event.

At Ecstatica, we invite you to delve into the realm of tantra and conscious sexuality through workshops led by some of the world’s foremost tantra teachers and intimacy experts. These sessions provide a supportive environment to explore authentic connection, deepen self-awareness, and enhance understanding of how we relate to ourselves and one another. In addition, we’ll be creating a dedicated temple space—with the intention of it being safe, inclusive, and respectful—where you can embrace vulnerability, open dialogue, and genuine presence. Here, personal insights and transformative experiences await, encouraging growth, trust, and meaningful connections on every level.

Tristan Gorski

Festival Creator and Director

Tristan Gorski, the visionary behind Ecstatic Dance Koh Phangan, calls the serene island his creative hub. His journey is shaped by a love for conscious dance, sparked during his DJing days in the underground rave scene in the late 1900s. The relentless nights and corporate burnout led to a pause in his DJing career in 2003. Years later, he rediscovered his passion for DJing and conscious movement at a Tantra Festival. Today, Tristan’s diverse DJ sets create spaces for inner exploration and connection, blending rhythms and soulful sounds. His experience in tantra and shamanic practices enriches his transformative music and dance. Globetrotting as a DJ, Tristan’s journey reflects how music and conscious movement helped him overcome an addictive and destructive lifestyle, inspiring transformations worldwide.
