Sacred DJ
The Art of Leading Transformative Experiences Through Music

Sacred DJ is not just someone who mixes music.

This training was created for DJs, facilitators, therapists, musicians and music lovers who wish to use sound as a tool for transformation — divided into two modules: the first technical, the second dedicated to the musical journey of Ecstatic Dance.
