Praise for Ecstatic
A wonderful cast of characters - artist, coding whiz, troubled therapist, mysterious chief shaman - this is a tale for our times. An exhilarating journey into a world where ecstatic dance just might hold the key to the future of humanity.
Henry Shukman - Zen master, poet and creator of The Way meditation app
"Ecstatic wrenches us into a world not so distant from our own – a world in which food shortages, violence and curfews ricochet through London … a shimmering, lucid exploration of what can happen when we meet darker currents of fear through ritual, movement and music."
Nathalie Nahie - Author, speaker and founder of In Conversation with Nathalie Nahai
