Sacred Ecstatics Annual Fest in Budapest!
May 9-15, 2027
Turbina Cultural Center
Budapest, Hungary
Welcome to our first week-long gathering in Budapest! Come experience an immersion in the two sides of Sacred Ecstatics: setting the soul on fire and awakening a healing heart. Together we’ll climb up the rope to get spiritually cooked and then climb down to become mystical agents of higher change.
May 9-11: Soul Cookout
(May 12: Free Day)
May 13-15: Healing Heart Tune-Up
Participants are welcome to attend one event or both for the full experience!
Soul Cookout
May 9-11, 2027
This three-day event is an amazing, blazing combination of spirited ceremony, tent revival, shamanic cabaret, and Life Force Theatre. With soulfully improvised music from Brad’s keyboards and numinously charged Ecstatic Sound Movement led by Hillary, you are taken on a one-of-a-kind ecstatic journey to the Big Room of mystery.
Here your heart is lifted by extreme elation, your body electrified by sacred vibration, and your mind cleared and illumined by the ineffable. Together we join the cooked mystics, dancing saints, trembling healers, flame-throwing preachers, absurd wisdom teachers, and wild shaking shamans—the original keepers of untamed,
fully ignited sacred ecstasy.
Every Soul Cookout is an improvised original production—we never know exactly what will take place. Diverse mystical venues of the world come to life under the vast canopy of Sacred Ecstatics. We may ecstatically travel to the Kalahari dance ground, the Japanese seiki bench, the shaker praise house, the shaman’s tent, the avant-garde Life Force Theatre, the Broadway musical mystery show-and-glow, and the always-evolving laboratory that tinkers with the ever-changing, spirited soul. Hold on and get ready to raise the sacred curtain, elevate the spiritual temperature, and make room for mystery to arrive.
Don’t miss the bliss of our annual cookout! Here the Big Love fire is felt by all!
Healing Heart Tune-Up
May 13-15, 2027
This three-day event emphasizes the other side of Sacred Ecstatics: awakening your healing heart. We’ll demonstrate and discuss how we conduct face-to-face encounters with anyone seeking help, guidance, change, and transformation of their condition and situation. This event is open to everyone including people-helping practitioners, alternative healers, curiosity seekers, non-professionals, everyday folk wizards, and
experimental mavericks alike.
Through Ouroborean* talks, reality construction simulations, and exemplary brief session interactions, you’ll meet the art (aesthetics) and dart (ecstatics) of transformation. We’ll drop mundane psychology, catch higher-muse inspiration, and embrace the creative electricity behind changing reality.
You’ll learn to tap into a source of inspiration that goes past therapeutic interpretation and diagnostic categorization to excite spirited liberation via specially blended emotion, sound, and motion.
The Healing Heart Tune-Up engages a different kind of conversation that ignores cliched psychology as it concentrates on pyrotechnology. At the optimal moment in a healing encounter, the ecstatic dynamics of transformation bring you into the electrical current of exhilarating change. Finally, fresh action prescriptions (odd-for-God interventions) are given to sustain the changes that were unleashed.
Our work is based on over forty years of conducting and teaching the art of change that is free of psychobabble, pathological labels, and dull models of well-being. Join us for an unforgettable experience in a non-psychological, non-chemical, all-aesthetic-and-ecstatic means of altering lives, social interactions, and eco-relations.
*Ouroboros, the mythical dragon symbolizing recursion (the circular organization of experience) is our beloved Sacred Ecstatics mascot. We call it Ouro for short.
