RITM Journey at CERVO

Cervo, Beyond Culture

29.01.2026

An invitation to live in the moment

With RITM Journey – Ecstatic Dance, CERVO opens up a space for conscious movement, inner silence and genuine connection. Every third Monday of the month, this special event at the CERVO spa invites you to leave everyday life behind and embark on a journey within – carried by music, breath and presence.

The RITM Journey is initiated and accompanied by Tayfun Ören, also known as Tayphoon. As Assistant Restaurant Manager at Restaurant Bazaar, he creates atmosphere and hospitality at CERVO every day, while also travelling internationally as an Ecstatic Dance DJ. Two worlds that seem different at first glance, but for Tayfun have the same core: creating spaces where people feel safe, can let go and are welcome – in the restaurant as well as on the dance floor, without words.

Conscious spaces for experience that connect

RITM Journey is part of a global travelling event series that arose from the desire to connect conscious spaces for experience across countries and cultures. RITM brings together various conscious practices such as breathwork, somatic movement, mantra singing circles, cacao ceremonies and ecstatic dance. RITM Journey is the ecstatic dance journey of this concept – and is consciously celebrating its launch in Switzerland at CERVO.

This place naturally embodies values such as mindfulness, quality and community. For Tayfun Ören, it feels particularly fitting that RITM Journey is being presented here for the first time – as if the attitude and vision of the place and the event fit together seamlessly. From here, the journey will continue, with future stops in Europe, including Turkey.

Silence that moves you

A central element of the RITM Journey is the conscious renunciation of speech, mobile phones and alcohol. This external silence creates space for inner clarity. Without distraction, participants encounter themselves and each other without pretence. After the evening, many describe a feeling of grounding, deep connection and inner peace – qualities that are often lost in everyday life.

The evening begins with breathing exercises and somatic movement. This conscious introduction helps participants to arrive in their bodies, release tension and gather their minds. Only then does a dance emerge that grows not from the head, but from within.

A space for everyone – with or without dance experience

For people without dance experience in particular, free movement can be difficult at first. That's why safety is the top priority at RITM Journey: through clear guidelines, mindful instruction and a non-judgmental atmosphere. Tayfun always emphasises that everything is an invitation and nothing is a must. When you feel that you are welcome just as you are, you can let go of your inhibitions – and find your own expression.

Take away what resonates

After an evening of RITM Journey at CERVO, guests should go home with a calmer mind, a more vibrant body and an open heart. Perhaps also with the feeling of having come a little closer to themselves – and with something that will resonate for a long time to come.

For Tayfun Ören, aka Tayphoon, working with movement, music and conscious presence is a personal journey: it has taught him to trust his body and his intuition and to truly be in the moment. He now shares this experience at CERVO – authentically, openly and with depth.
