WHY TURKİYE, WHY BONJUK BAY?
Turkiye is where continents, cultures, and ancient traditions meet.
It is an ideal geography where people from all over the world reconnect with their essence through rhythm.
It is a space where we remember that the body possesses the wisdom to heal itself when it moves authentically.
Bonjuk Bay is the venue where this experience will take place. Surrounded by nature, far from the noise of the city.
GUIDES
Cem Kutup (CeKu)
I facilitate people to embark on deep, fun, and liberating journeys through music and movement.
I create safe spaces where we can connect with each other through conscious communication and connection practices.
My intention: To awaken the body, silence the mind, and celebrate life.
Pina Baran
Pina is a facilitator, space holder, ecstatic dance DJ, and dancer; dedicated to creating spaces of being, connection, and inner exploration.
Her musical journeys, rooted in Anatolian and Mediterranean heritage and inspired by global rhythms, combine deep, organic rhythms with emotional melodies.
Through music and movement, Pina invites everyone to authentic expression, heartfelt connection, and a shared field of transformation.
Mason Toryen
Mason Töryen is a music producer, multi-instrumentalist, Ecstatic Dance facilitator, and live looping artist from Mexico, creating spaces where music becomes ceremony.
Rooted in his Mayan lineage, he brings together ancestral wisdom and contemporary sound, guiding journeys where rhythm, breath, and movement help the body open and express freely.
Through his Cosmic Mayan Dance, Mason blends traditional healing practices with modern electronic music, drawing from the living wisdom of the Nahuales. Each gathering is shaped by the energy present in that specific moment, in dialogue with the rhythms of the moon, creating a unique field for deep expression, emotional release, and genuine connection.
His sets unfold as a wave of frequencies, tribal rhythms, and organic textures, at times incorporating live looping and multi-instrumental expression, while holding a space where people can safely explore both light and shadow, moving through expansion, grounding, and transformation.
He is the co-founder of Ecstatic Dance Fest Türkiye, bringing his work to communities across different parts of the world, where people come together to move, feel, and connect.
Other facilitators will be announced soon.
