The Wild. The Sensual. The Authentic. The Divine.
These archetypes lie within every human body, rich as golden honey, waiting to be accessed and expressed. They whisper truths and call forth transformations, guiding us to untamed depths. Beneath the surface of our skin resides a reservoir of raw, untapped potential—a truth ready to rise.
In this 7-week journey, we’ll delve into these archetypes through the art of movement, dance, writing, and ritual, weaving together self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. This is not just a practice but a passage into the heart of your own essence, a chance to break through the barriers that keep you from your fullness.
Embodiment is more than movement—it’s a reclamation of self. It’s tasting every experience with your full heart, embracing the sweet, the sour, the rich, and the raw. It’s meeting life head-on, unafraid, with the courage to be shaped and transformed by every sensation and story your body holds.
This program invites you to let the fck go. To release the addiction to looking pretty or perfect within your movement. Together, we will explore a spectrum of expression, shedding layers of self-consciousness to discover the authenticity within. Through guided improvisation, somatic explorations, self-inquiry, meditative journeys, and archetypal choreography, you’ll reconnect with the sacred energy that pulses within you. And attune to what wants to move through you, for YOU and only YOU.
Art becomes your altar. Movement, your prayer. Each week builds towards a ritual art creation—a deeply personal project designed to embody your transformation. Whether you share your creation or hold it close, it will serve as a beacon of your rising truth.
This is your invitation to step into the fullness of your being, to honor the untamed, the sensual, the divine within. Get ready to unleash, to create, to rise.
EMBODIED is for you if...
🌹 You’re ready to feel freedom in your self expression. Breaking through limiting beliefs and self-defeating stories that hold you back from your fullness.
