If you want to be your most authentic self, and be a vital expression of life, apart from a clear vision and a powerful intention, surrendering to whatever unfolds is essential.

Breath, rhythm, music, movement, … are portals to an infinite source of inspiration and creativity. The void, in darkness, is an ocean of ancient memories and endless possibilities!

In Trance we shift, from moving to being moved, from dancing to becoming the dance.
