Lizelot & Maurice Spees
Sufi Whirling & Voice Alchemy
Lizelot, initiated into a centuries-old Persian Sufi order, guides the whirling as lived devotion. Maurice Spees, voice alchemist and sonic guide, weaves live vocals and electronic layers into a set that breathes between ancient devotion and modern trance.
Through soundscapes woven with symbolic poetry and archetypal energy, Christina invokes an animistic world where everything is interconnected. Her singing a ritual, a surrender that reveals the terrifying beauty of being alive.
This is not a reprise. This is a deepening.
Lizelot, initiated into a centuries-old Persian Sufi order, guides the Sufi whirling — not as performance, but as lived devotion. Maurice Spees, voice alchemist and sonic guide, weaves live vocals and electronic layers into a set that breathes between ancient devotion and modern trance.
No separation between performers and dancers. No audience. One field.
Sufi teacher and initiator of Moving Into Unity. Trained as a dancer and initiated into an authentic centuries-old Persian Sufi order, Lizelot embodies the whirling tradition — not as performance, but as lived devotion.
Soul guide and voice alchemist whose instrument is the human voice itself. Maurice creates sacred sound fields through tone, breath, and electronic layers — a bridge between the ancient and the embodied.
This is not a Sufi workshop. It's a deepening — a living invitation to feel what centuries of devotion sound and move like, woven into the ecstatic dance you already know. Ancient trance meets modern randomness.
Do I have to dance? Can I sit or lie down?
Ecstatic dance is free to be whatever you feel from the inside. You don't have to do anything. You can dance, sway, sit, lie down, or simply breathe and listen. There is no wrong way to be here — just follow what your body needs.
Do I need experience with Sufi whirling?
No experience needed. You don't have to spin. The Sufi whirling is offered as a living presence — you're invited to let it move you in whatever way feels natural. Some people dance, some stand still, some close their eyes.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothes you can move freely in. We dance barefoot on a wooden floor. Bring a water bottle. Phones are put away during the dance.
Is there alcohol or talking on the dance floor?
No. The space is substance-free and we keep silence on the dance floor. This allows everyone to go deep into their own experience without distraction.
