WHAT IS MOKOA?
MOKOA is Zürich's premier Ecstatic Dance community—a sacred space where conscious movement, transformational sound, and authentic connection come together to create unforgettable experiences.
We believe your body holds wisdom your mind can't access. We believe movement is medicine. We believe the dancefloor is a portal to your most alive, authentic self.
This is not a dance class. This is liberation.
🎭 WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?
Ecstatic Dance is a global movement practice of freeform, conscious dancing that's taking the world by storm.
Here's what makes it different:
✨ No choreography - Your body decides how to move
✨ No steps to learn - There's no "right way" to dance
✨ No performance - This is for YOU, not for others
Just you, the music, and total permission to express.
It's meditation for people who can't sit still. Therapy for overthinkers. Cardio for your soul. Community for the conscious.
🌊 THE MOKOA EXPERIENCE
Every MOKOA gathering is carefully curated to create transformation:
🍫 SACRED KAKAO CEREMONY We begin most journeys with ceremonial-grade kakao—an ancient Mayan plant medicine known as "the food of the gods." This heart-opening elixir enhances emotional awareness, amplifies joy, and creates a gentle expansion in your heart center.
