Howling over to the Berlin Wolf-Women that are holding it down in this city, in these times:
Welcoming the mighty She in you to Move
She Moves through Life
She Moves in the complexity of this World
She Moves through all the spectrums, seasons, flavors and textures that Life brings her
She Moves to find center, to be wild, to be bold, to be brave, to find silence
She Moves to transform, embrace, release, express
She Moves to empower herself, an in doing so, empower all beings connected to her
She Moves to remember: all the cycles and all of the elements live within her flesh and bones
Movement is her pathway to include it all…
‘She Moves’ is a closed series of Embodied Dance Sessions created for female-bodied Women: lead by Alma Omega Maegan Melissa (DJ Alma ∞ Omega), supported by the embodied dance principles of Open Floor International Non-Profit‘s Movement Practice, while tapping into the rich & potent potential, healing & power that naturally occurs when women gather together to MOVE, EMBRACE what is and REMEMBER.
During these sessions, we will dive into the rich beauty of dance as a healing art, drawing upon the profound and grounded principles found from Open Floor Movement Practice:
an embodied exploration of the mighty web of our subjective experience, mapped through our mind-body-emotional-soul connection, combined with our relational hungers for solitude, contact, belonging and communing with Spirit.
.
With each class we will be focusing on embodied-anchors and Core Movement Resources to further ground our understanding of life and ourselves, in these times: through the magnificent vessel that is our bodies, moving through space, in dance…learning to embrace this ever-changing dance that IS our lives.
Moving and Including all that is present: We shall embrace dance as a healing-art form.
Especially as our nervous systems are bombarded by so much change these days, I feel especially blessed to create a closed container of 6 classes to go deep on this journey of dance, movement & embodiment together.
You do NOT have to have any previous experience with this movement practice! The only requirement is showing UP: with all that you are

?WHY DANCE? Dancing is one of the most healing, most precious, most nourishing expressions that we ALL have access to, living in these bodies of flesh, muscles and magic: it is our birth right to move, it is our birth right to take up space, to express, to make poetry and prayer from our body’s intelligence, wisdom from our emotional landscapes, & dancing our past failures and future dreams on this dance-floor of life…
These evening’s are specifically targeted towards female-bodies that identify as women: so that we can use this space to deepen our connection to ourselves, in an environment of Femme-Flavored-Mirrors, dropping deeper into the expansion, sensuality, authenticity and healing that can be found in such spaces…
I deeply look forward to these embodied-dance portals 4 Women in the heart of Berlin, so we can RESOURCE ourselves in this city, in these potent times

I am a devout believer and lover of embodied-movement and dance: in it’s healing power to connect us to ourselves, one another, and to the greater rhythms and connections of our Life…the more we move, the more we remain free, loose and cleansed: in body, mind and soul.
About
MY PERSONAL BACKGROUND WITH DANCE & Embodiment
- I was (gently and passively aggressively) kicked out of ballet class when I was about 5 years old, due to being a bit too wild and talkative during the class…!
- As a teenager, I used to mosh to grunge/punk & and thrust to 90’s hip-hop & R&B when I wasn’t in attendance at my all-girls Catholic High School (and sometimes IN the halls of school)
- In 1997, at the ripe age of 18, I went to my first House Party in Amsterdam, which opened up my body and soul to the trancendance of music, trance, dance & community. I religiously followed this passion back in the East Coast of the USA, where I sought after the underground house movement of Washington DC & NYC’s legendary Body & Soul…this movement & music touched such a deep part of my heart and soul, and continues to to this day.

- In 2004 I discovered Gabrielle’s Roth’s 5 Rhythms by accident, and became a loyal scholar of her work, allowing her wisdom to saturate my mind-body-soul, and change my life…this is when I started to understand the deeper patterns found within the shamanic wisdom & healing power of dance: and this inherent wisdom & power that is available to all, if willing to open, receive & surrender to it.
- In 2013, after the end of a 13 year relationship, Music, Dance and Cacao became the pillars with which I began to rebuild my life and heal my heart: this holy trinity not only saved me from deep despair, but this trinity helped paved a new life for me, that I have been walking step by step every since:
- In 2013 I co-Founded Cacaophany with Ruby May: a ritulastic gathering combining the healing magic of dance, music and Sacred-Raw-Cacao in a ceremonial setting.

- In 2015 I co-founded Lucid: a Ritualistic-community-Party in Berlin that has been responsible for mid-wifing the New Paradigm-Visions into 3D-reality by weaving in Ritual, Dance & Berlin’s finest Underground Music.
- From 2017-2020 I deepened my commitment to healing, dance, movement and soul-embodiment through my teacher’s training with Open Floor International: an embodied-dance-meditation training, using the dance-floor (of life) to awaken, heal and enliven us.
- Since the waves of pandemic-lockdowns, increasing-amounts of time online–not to mention the increasing dimensions of grief for all that is shifting and transforming on the planet–I feel more and more called to weave embodiment deeper into my DJ sets, rituals and space-holding: I feel more and more called to hold spaces in which we can remember the frabric of our humanity, our connection to divinity/source, and our intricate inter-connection to all of Life: by not bypassing the heart-aches & heart-quakes of life, but by inviting them to marinate and season our reasons for living.
∞ The power of movement, the freedom of expression, the truth of our body’s wisdom, and the beauty of authenticity are the pillars of my joy and work. ∞
