Awaredance festival in Bali - trance, chill-out, awareness and healing

If you are in South-East Asia in May, check out the Awaredance festival 2012 at Mount Batur, Bali. The festival focuses on trance, chill-out, awareness and healing, and runs over five full days, from 25th to 29th of May.

Last summer I was a DJ in the chill-out section, and hung out for the day after.

Here's me DJ'ing on Saturday night:

Seeing the sun rise over Mount Agung and Lake Batur is breathtaking:

The beautiful soundtrack to the amazing sunrise was chilled beats from Osman:

The most intense experience for me was attending Biodanza with Diane and six other beautiful people. We hugged intensively with every member of the group, looked into each other's eyes for a long time, and other "hippie stuff". :) The group:

And here's me with the founder of the festival, Baba. Sorry guy on the left, I forgot your name:

Also check out this photo set by www.jberg.com with more shots, plus the pages of Baba and Osman, who organized the whole thing.

I DJ'ed on on Saturday night, and it was reeeally nice to play some classic tracks for an appreciating audience who were dancing and chilling.
