"Osara is a joy to be around! His expert DJ tuition guided me through the fundamentals of DJing and got me started on a lifelong dream. He brings his own epic DJ experience alongside his knowledge of holding conscious dance experiences - this combo is truly unique and inspiring! Thank you Osara - Legend!"
Tamson Reeby (founder of Amara Life, UK)
“I booked a session with Osara as an already established Ecstatic Dance DJ. He delivered his 1:1 class with simple understandable detail which has given me a new level of confidence in my DJing. I felt his genuine determination and kind delivery to make me a better DJ. We also giggled a lot together which made it fun!”
Sophie Bolton (Ecstatic Dance UK Resident DJ & Facilitator, UK)

Leading the Way for the future of Transformational Experiences
Dance culture is such a big part of humanity.
We have been dancing ever since we gathered around fires.
It's one of the most universal forms of cultural expressions.
And dancefloors are one of the most loved, enjoyed and frequented places.
However, the current club, festival and nightlife culture is unhealthy.
Anxiety, loneliness and disconnection are at all time highs.
At the same time, we know that dance and shared experiences of celebration are vital for mental health, culture and community.
For the last few years Ace Collectiv has been passionately pioneering alcohol-free, inclusive experiences that weave the best elements of club and Ecstatic Dance culture.
Ace Collectiv keeps the medicine of club culture:
community, expression, dance and sound system culture
whilst redesigning the container so that it supports embodiment, health, authentic connection and inclusivity.
In an age where loneliness and depression are more present than ever, it feels even more important to gather, dance, move, celebrate, be together, connect and remember why we're here.
Conscious dance spaces are lifelines. People meet new friends, find communities they have been searching for and feel seen in ways that conventional events and club culture has not allowed. For many, these spaces have supported health (physical and mental) and social connection.
We see a huge opportunity in the conscious dance world and wellness boom that we are currently experiencing.
Breathwork, yoga and sauna experiences have moved beyond the era of ‘woo-woo’ and are now mainstream.
Sober, wellness and conscious dance spaces are finding their way into the mainstream too.
They are becoming more commonplace and are rapidly growing across Europe and around the world, along with the rise of transformational festivals.
Dancefloors influence and support community, culture and nervous systems.
This training is a way of supporting this future.


Who Is This For?
You desire to turn your passion of conscious dance into a meaningful purpose in your life.
You're a dancer who desires to be the DJ behind the decks.
You're a music lover through and through that loves going on sonic journeys.
You believe in the healing power of music, movement and community.
You believe in the power of embodiment and somatic experiencing.
You appreciate ritual and ceremonial spaces.
You appreciate community led approaches and events that weave belonging through the art of dance, music and facilitation.
You crave more nourishing, sober and soulful spaces.
You want to DJ at festivals and retreats.
Perhaps you're already sharing somatic or wellness practices, and wanting to learn how to create dance journeys to complement them.
Perhaps you're a conscious dance facilitator that is ready to level up from just playing a playlist on Spotify or iTunes.
Maybe you’ve already been DJing and desire to direct your skills to containers that are more authentic, nourishing and transformational.
Or maybe you're completely new to these skills, ideas or spaces and following a thread of curiosity.
You might even want to launch your own Ecstatic Dance event one day.


A Transformational Journey
This training is designed to take you from minimal understanding of Ecstatic Dance DJing and Facilitation to leading your first live Ecstatic Dance experience.
You will be led from self doubt, to confidence.
From uncertainty, to intuition.
This programme is designed for you to...
Innerstand the fundamentals of holding sacred transformational space within the context of dance and somatic experiencing.
Innerstand how to create authentic, inclusive, consent-prioritised and expressive containers.
Innerstand the ins and outs of creating a dance journey - taking your audience on a ride through your set, working with tempo, building the energy, reading the room, teasing, etc.
Resource your nervous system to be able to hold space in an embodied and present way.
Experience connection and belonging with others also on the path of conscious dance discovery.
By the end of the training, you will have the opportunity to practice a live DJ set at our cohort's Closing Party.


“Start studying with Osara and you will feel connected to the mystery of your soul and the beat of your heart. His 6 month mentoring incubator took me on a deep, authentic and inspiring journey of spiritual awakening through embodiment, DJing and more. He guided the way to break in, break out and break through mental blocks and into the centre. Into the essence of my being. It’s been the most direct, natural and profound spiritual teaching for me. Forever grateful for his guidance.”

“I greatly appreciate Osara's mentoring! He had flexibility to respond to specific techniques I wanted to work on, in addition to his structured programme. I love his ability to listen to my mixes and critique them with detail, and to give me new tools to help improve what I'm creating. His kind, gentle ways helped me feel like there are no mistakes, just learning! Super grateful!”

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m worried I won’t be able to do it by the end of the 6 weeks
It’s our number one priority that by the end of this programme you have the capacity to design and DJ a dance journey. The core goal of this mentorship is that every participant feels ready to DJ live by the end of the programme.
We’re so confident in this that:
-
We guarantee you your first gig, and
-
We offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you don’t feel ready or supported.
I’m fearful of being seen or putting myself out there
You’re welcome to do this purely for your own enjoyment and growth until your confidence builds gradually through practice, community support & baby steps.
I don’t have a big following or platform
You don’t need one. We guarantee you your first gig, regardless of your following.
We also teach practical “behind-the-scenes” methods to get gigs & provide you an application template to get your gigs at festivals, retreats and local dances.
I’m scared of the time commitment
You can do the programme in your own time if you wish. You have lifetime access + the structure is intentionally spacious with just 1 live class per week.
And if it genuinely feels like too much you’re fully covered by our 100% money-back guarantee
I’m not sure I can afford it right now
We have dynamic payment plan options so you can pay over multiple months.
We’re also open to conversation around concessions & solidarity discounts.
We never want money to be a barrier so let's chat and find a way!
I’m already facilitating, will this still be useful?
Yes. Our intention is to help you launch as an ED facilitator and DJ so the programme is focused around upskilling in these areas. Existing facilitation skills and experience will only amplify this - especially in areas like journey design & technical DJ skills.
I’m already DJing — will this be too beginner for me?
If your already good at the technical side of DJing then the journey design sections and community leadership / facilitation modules would be of most value. If you wanted just to sign up for these modules we can offer a lower rate. This is really all about expanding your capacity as an embodied journey DJ.
What if I join and realise it’s not for me?
You’re fully protected by our 100% money-back guarantee.
If at any point you feel this isn’t the right fit, we’ll refund you in full.
I don’t have the gear or equipment
We provide a certified starter equipment list you can order immediately.
-
Budget option is about £375
-
Recommended option is about £500
All items can be returned within 30 days if you decide this path isn’t for you.
I’m not sure this is the right time for me
We will be running the programme again.
However, this launch offering is the lowest price it will ever be.
If timing is the concern, we can explore:
-
Joining and moving through it self-paced
-
A discounted rate for reduced live participation
I get very shy / I struggle with confidence
You’re not alone. I was so shy when I first started that i couldn't even speak on the mic! This course is intentionally:
-
Supportive
-
Encouraging
-
Beginner-friendly
Everything is designed to help you build confidence safely and steadily. We're offering a 100% money-back guarantee if it truly doesn’t feel right.
I’m rubbish at marketing
You don’t need marketing skills, social media or personal branding. We:
-
Guarantee your first gig
-
Give you the exact application scripts and methodology for getting festival and retreat gigs
-
Show you how to build opportunities through relationships, not algorithms
Do I need to be an experienced DJ to join?
This mentorship is for people who feel called to facilitate dance spaces, whether you’re a new DJ, a dancer, a space-holder or a music lover stepping into leadership. There are 3 modules that cover fundamental DJ skills.
I’m more of a dancer than a DJ. Is this still for me?
The best Ecstatic Dance DJs began as dancers.
Is this a DJ or a facilitator training?
Music is one part of this training. We also focus deeply on:
-
Dance journey design
-
Facilitation skills
-
Nervous system awareness
-
Holding space without performance
-
Community leadership
If you’re only looking for track selection or mixing techniques, this likely isn’t the right container.
Do I need to be spiritual or have a specific belief system?
No.
This is not about practicing spirituality.
It’s about embodiment, authenticity and responsibility.
We acknowledge and meet all the different parts of ourself - joy, grief, anger, rage, tenderness, etc without bypassing or pretending.
I’m worried about getting it wrong or causing harm. What if I’m not ready?
This mentorship exists because harm often happens when people step into facilitation without support.
We work considerately, conscienciousely and ethically, with a strong emphasis on consent, responsibility and safety.
Is this mentorship trauma-informed or therapeutic?
This is not therapy, and we don’t claim to heal anyone.
We focus on:
-
Creating safe(r) containers
-
Understanding nervous system dynamics
-
Clear boundaries and responsibility
What if I don’t plan to run my own events yet?
Many people join to:
-
Deepen their innerstanding
-
Clarify whether this path is for them
-
Grow confidence before stepping into leadership
How much time does this require?
6 x 2hr Zoom sessions (over 6 weeks)
1hr of study / prep before each Zoom session
2hrs per week (10-20mins / day) of home DJ practice
6 x 1hr guest coaching calls / tech clinics (optional)
