Come learn about the cycle that moves through your body and how your physiology impacts your life on different levels. When is the best time to start a new project? Ask for a raise? Implement new habits? Address tricky topics in the relationship? Connect with your loved ones? Each phase of the cycle has its own gift and is inviting you to step into a different archetype, a different facet of your feminine expression. We will talk about archetypes, hormones, energy, emotions, mental state, sexuality, about the body signals that will help you identify where you are at in your cycle as well as some practices to help you have a smoother ride through the month. This workshop will consist of 2 parts, a lecture on the menstrual cycle and a sharing circle, we will then drop this knowledge into the body through a dance with the archetypes. Knowledge is power. Embodied knowledge about yourself is a skill that will serve you for life.

One of Natalie’s greatest creations! And already an internationally acclaimed experience! ��THE ART OF INTIMACY �� is a life-changing, pattern-breaking, intimacy-creating experience! A powerful workshop for singles and couples. A journey of self-expression through movement. Letting go of the ideas on how we should look on the outside, and instead diving deeply into how dance makes us feel. Slowly shedding our layers of uncomfort/insecurities/judgment, stimulating our senses, playing with different energies/roles in dance, and finding freedom to be all that we are in every given moment – a true practice for life. We create a safe space to voice our emotions authentically, first with ourselves, and then with multiple dance partners – allowing ourselves to really see another in their vulnerability, and most importantly, allowing another to see us in ours. in this experience, we journey through the different energies we can dance to, leaving our comfort zones, trying new things, triggering new emotions within – from the soft, sensual, watery, romantic dance to the firey, animalistic, sexy, seducing and passionate dance. We embody our inner masculine, and our inner feminine, both as leader and follower.

This workshop blends Yoga and Tantra – breath, sound and movement – to connect more with yourself, to embody what you like and don’t like. It’s a curious exploration into your body and nervous system to help empower you with knowing and being able to express yourself. Too often, women expect men to know what they want, know how to touch or please them. If you don’t know yourself what you like or want, why would anyone else know? Through this workshop, you will learn how to connect to your body in a more intimate way, how to self-attune and feel safe in your own body. The workshop will include a short explanation, some Kundalini shaking, Yoga poses, rest and time to integrate and process your experience.

I’ll continue telling about the beginning of my gender research that included involvement in the life of the BDSM community, the polyamory life and my life after I started hormonal therapy and its impact. At the end there will be time for questions. Every question is relevant. Hope to see you there.
Breathing is a bridge connecting mind and body and to the present moment. In this workshop we will practice attentive breathing – we will learn how to use directed breathing for regulation, while listening to the body’s sensations and signals. From there we continue to expand with each inhalation, give space, and allow the breath to bring us inwardly to meet deeper layers in us.
Hips dont lie Come to listen to the wispers of your pelvis Come to reconnect with the power from within Come awaken your energy by dancing and shaking your booty Come. As you are.
Does our body have words? Can our body express us in our own unique language? By surrendering to our breath and listening to our body and the movement that arises from it, we will dive into the stories it tells about itself and about us, and discover what words can be written through it. We will gently listen to what asks to be written within us, moving between words and the body, back and forth, like the endless movement of the female body, which needs to draw inwards in order to enable movement and words to flow out. In this workshop, we will move and write, discover the poetics of the body, listen to inspiring texts that will catalyze a process of inner listening, and end with a circle of sharing the texts we will write.

TRE® – Tension Releasing Exercises – is a technique used to release chronic tension & pain from the body and nervous system, moving energy through invoking tremors.
When we go through difficult or traumatic times in life, our breath stops for a moment & we contract our body/freeze – if we didn’t succeed to fight or flight (automatic reactions).
With this modality, in a safe space, we activate this organic mechanism to tremor in order to release tension from the body, regulate our nervous system and create more flow of energy, feeling more present.

Women who have heard the profound inner voice to awaken and reclaim the hidden wisdom of ecstasy in their bodies, Welcome ✨ Feeling the call to experience ecstasy? Sustainable ecstasy, ecstasy that lasts, that becomes a state of being rather than a fleeting experience? During this experience, we will invoke energies of the Universe, manifest beauty, open portals to subtle realms, and transmit blessings throughout our bodies. Connecting wombs, hearts and minds for healing in a deep way. Hunger for ecstasy is the longing we feel to experience sensations out of the mundane and into the extraordinary. When we get a taste, we understand why we are really alive. Once we realize that such states are available to us all, as accessible as breathing, walking or going to the grocery store, it is impossible to return to what we may have once considered ‘normal’… When our body remembers, we can no longer sacrifice pleasure and ecstasy – these states become as important and transformative as breathing. May we all remember the untamed powers we are born with. Our pure, wild spirit longing to be free.

When we think about our monthly bleeding time, we can experience feelings of anger, sadness, ambivalence, frustration, shame, and repression. In the “Blood Talk” workshop, a new conversation is opened about the time of the monthly bleeding, in order to create a place for the bleeding women we are. Also we will synchronize to the frequency of these days. What happens when we stop in advance, before it overwhelms us and paralyzes the body? Following personal research over the past 5 years, and discoveries that have changed my life, I have learned through holiness during menstruation, simple tools that allow us to synchronize with the frequency of the blood and raise our standard of living. I invite you to come for a joint conversation, at the end of which we will create a renewed ceremony with the Red Days.

I always knew that money and emotions are related… But I didn’t understand how deep this connection is in the human soul. It was when psychologists began sending their patients to me that I realized I was on to a serious issue: Apparently, before all excel tables and numbers, the key to financial welfare is understanding our pattern behavior and emotions, which motivates us to manage ourselves in a specific manner. In this workshop, we’ll explore our emotional motivations regarding money. We will dive into the preceptions impressed in us over the years and inspect their influence on our cash and bank account. And there is a bonus- We’ll talk about the connection between money and sexuality. After we crack open our “financial psychology,” we will base a few first steps for development on our way to prosperity.
