Tea enthusiast · music lover · community connector
Vilija has been a tea lover for many years, drawn to the comfort, wellness and connection a good cup of tea can bring. Whether it's a refreshing iced tea or a soothing, warming brew, she loves how tea can shift the mood, awaken the senses and bring people together, much like music.
For Vilija, tea and music share a special kind of magic. Both can change the atmosphere, lift the spirit, invite us into the present moment and create connection without needing words. The right tea warms the body and refreshes the mind; the right music moves the body, opens the heart and nourishes the soul.
As part of the Ecstatic Dance Suburbia team, Vilija brings these two passions together, helping cultivate a welcoming space where community can flourish: through a shared cup of tea, a thoughtfully chosen song added to the playlist, or the collective energy of the dance floor.
For her, it's about finding harmony in the simple things: a beautiful brew, a meaningful beat, and the joy of bringing people together.
A little tea, a little rhythm, a lot of heart, and always room to dance.
From David
The tea might be one of the most important parts of the dance
Something I've noticed organizing Ecstatic Dance:
The music ends… but people don't necessarily want to leave.
So we have tea. And people sit around. Someone starts a conversation.
Two strangers discover something they have in common. Someone who came alone leaves knowing three people.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to make events better. Vilija's tea is a big part of the answer.
Stay for tea as long as you like. Meet the rest of our team, or find your next dance.
