ECHO
“I have been a seeker of sorts my entire life. I have spent countless years following an intuition somewhere deeply embedded within me that ushered me forward.
I can tell you about all of the education I have received, the training, the certifications, the programs, the retreats, and the therapy but what has shifted my life's direction is my desire.
My true desire to be a better person, a better lover, and a kinder and more responsible human within the global ecosystem. That is what finally brought about change. Once I saw the suffering I was perpetuating within myself, and its effect on those closest to me I dove into "The Work." I have been on this journey for a lifetime, but in the last several years it has been my guiding light. My lighthouse.
May I be a resource, a tool, a guide to assisting others to come back home to themselves, to their center, to their truth, to love over illusion.”
JETHRO
Jethro started breakdancing in 1998, and worked mainly as a dancer until he fell in love with Ecstatic Dance in 2015, in Amsterdam. That's he found out how he really wanted move.
He was asked to facilitate the opening ceremonies for the Ecstatic Dances in the Netherlands. It wasn't until 2020 that he decided to give DJ'ing a try. It went very quick from there on. At the moment he is playing all over Europe and Central America.
As a dancer Jethro likes to read other dancers and see what they need to fully explore their bodies in movement and dance. He uses all kinds of genres, creates big waves to go really deep and then sky high! There will be fire, power, color, poetry, but also softness and lightness.
