Zuzana Burdanova

Zuzana Burdanova is a community weaver and visionary creator of conscious events that invite deeper connection with self, others, and the living Earth.

She is the founder of Ecstatic Dance Slovakia, hosting Ecstatic Dance Bratislava since 2018, and the creator of Ecstatica Festival in Austria. Through music, movement, ritual, and presence, she cultivates spaces for authentic expression and collective transformation.

With a background in development economics and experience spanning investment banking, UN development projects, and grassroots initiatives in South America, Zuzana’s path bridges diverse worlds. Her travels through Asia and Latin America and encounters with indigenous wisdom traditions have deeply shaped her vision.

Today she focuses on building bridges between conscious communities across Central Europe and Ancient Future Gathering is one of her initiatives to build a world based on conneciton & cooperation rather than separation. She has called upon the Austrian and Hungarian neighbours to build a festival beyond borders, beyond cultures where we can all remember a more unified and peaceful future we want to live. The Ancient Future Gathering has originated from this calling.

Wolf Berg

Wolf Berg is a community builder, musician, and creator of transformational event spaces.

For more than a decade, he has been organizing gatherings that bring together music, ceremony, movement, and authentic connection. Through Ecstatic Dance events, concerts, retreats, and cultural exchanges, he has helped create occasions where people can step out of the noise of modern life and reconnect with themselves, each other, and the deeper rhythms of life.

Along this path, Wolf has walked closely with indigenous communities in the Amazon and beyond, learning from elders, shamans, and traditional cultures that still carry living relationships with the Earth. These encounters profoundly shaped his understanding of what community, prayer, and celebration can be.

Wolf believes we are living in a time of transition. The world has never been as fragmented and both connected at the same time. Around the world, people are beginning to rediscover ancient wisdom, reconnect with the body through dance and music, and search for new ways of living that honor both spirit and Earth. Several ecological tipping points have been breached, this is a time of great possibility but also great peril. At the same time, humanity is discovering technologies that will shape the fabric of civilization for millenia to come. The Ancient Future Gathering was born from this recognition.

Wolf’s deeper work is to help weave together networks of people and projects working toward a more harmonious future - bridging culture, spirituality, and regenerative innovation.

The Ancient Future Gathering is one expression of that vision.

And perhaps more than anything, Wolf sees himself simply as a bridge builder - someone helping to open doors where people can meet, remember, and co-create the world that wants to emerge.
