Learn the art of embodiment and develop somatic skills to confidently guide people deeper into their bodies through the transformative power of dance.

Have you ever attended a conscious dance event and wondered how such a powerful and cohesive feeling of community is created? This potent group field is due, in large part, to the somatic skills of an embodied facilitator. This role is called by many names: "Ceremony Leader'', "Space Holder" or "Dance Facilitator". Regardless of the name, the role is the same: guide dancers, in an embodied way, into a dance journey, stay present with them throughout, and guide them back out again while grounding and integrating the experience.

Get ready for an immersive 7-day experience at the Embercombe Eco Retreat Center. Here, nestled within 50 acres of rewilded countryside, we'll dive into an intensive exploration of the 5 Pathways, DTM’s flexible framework designed to simplify the creation of exercises and classes while inspiring new ideas to lead dancers in conscious dance sessions, including but not limited to Ecstatic Dance. This isn't just any training; it's a journey towards self-embodiment and an opportunity to hone the facilitation skills you already possess while learning new concepts to level up your offerings.

Imagine confidently stepping into the role of trusted facilitator, guiding others to let loose and experience healing, connection, and joy through dance. As part of our vibrant learning community, you'll enhance your existing skills with proven somatic tools and our 5 Pathways Framework, shaping you into a unique, embodied dance facilitator. In this fun and yet respectful environment, you'll not only develop your skills, but also build lasting friendships and a supportive network that extends beyond the training. You'll be joining a diverse cohort, from fellow dancers to DJs, psychologists, yoga teachers, and breathwork instructors, all eager to weave embodiment and somatic techniques into their work.
