∞ DANCE ∞ EMBODIMENT ∞
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…
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.

But how does this new paradigm look like, and who takes the first step?

Left and right we see the very fabric of our society falling apart. Polarization, new wars, disorientation, blaming, insecurity, fear, confrontation, lack of trust, confused governments, confused media, dying ecosystems, and sheer overwhelming complexity.
It’s ever so clear that it’s not better answers or more effective measures of control that will move us through this crisis, but a completely new operating system we need as the whole human organism to be able to change our culture and relationships from within, from the core of the human 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. ∞
