I am thrilled to announce my next collaboration with Ecstatic Dance Charlotte. As DJ Josh Paul, I am a passionate creator and curator of music that blends the spiritual with the sensorial. My musical journey is deeply rooted in the rhythms of Electronic Organic House and Afro House, where each beat and note is consciously chosen to enrich the soul and elevate the mind. By incorporating a diverse array of world instruments, I craft a sound that transcends ordinary listening experiences, inviting listeners into realms of profound emotional and spiritual exploration.

My approach to music balances the “feminine” and “masculine” energies, creating a harmonious sound landscape that nurtures healing and transformation. As a Sound Alchemist, I am dedicated to the art of mixing electronic and organic sounds to not just entertain, but to facilitate a journey of inner discovery and communal celebration. This musical alchemy is not just about hearing, but about feeling, connecting, and healing.

Beyond just playing music, I strive to create spaces where individuals can come together to experience freedom and joy through movement. My events are more than just dance floors; they are sanctuaries where you can let go of your inhibitions, dive into the depths of your emotions, and emerge refreshed and empowered. These gatherings are designed to be safe, inclusive, and open to all who seek to explore the transformative power of music.

As co-founder of ZenWithinAcademy, I am deeply involved in the local and broader conscious movement scene. My music is a fixture at ecstatic dance events, yoga sessions, and holistic workshops, where I aim to provide soundscapes that enhance mindfulness and body awareness.

Whether you’re dancing to release stress, to find joy, or to connect with others on a similar path, I invite you to join me in this musical journey. Let’s embrace the rhythm, feel the beat, and dance our way to wellness and spiritual awakening. Together, we can create moments of magic, healing, and unforgettable connection through the power of music.

Grace and Zen Within

Join us for 90 minutes of pure restorative bliss. Grace Millsap will guide you through 45 minutes of a gentle slow flow yoga practice, accompanied by Zen Within’s sweet and soulful musical notes, with 15 minutes of sound bath to ease you into a deep state of rest at the end of our journey together. The trio seamlessly and intuitively flow together to create opportunities to relax, release, and integrate. Sound vibrations gently massage the cellular body back into harmony, clearing blockages, and restoring vitality. Yoga is the synchronization of breath, movement, and intention; and can lead to shifts to the parasympathetic nervous system, where the body has the capacity to heal itself. Take time for yourself!

What to bring:

• yoga mat

• water

• anything else they need to get cozy
