Your Guide:

They are dedicated to inspiring others to radical personal freedom, pioneering progressive movement communities, and creating safer, inclusive spaces for authentic expression, body reclamation, and collective healing.
How to Prepare:
🌌Create a dedicated space: Find a quiet, open area where you can move freely without bumping into furniture or feeling self-conscious. Ideally, this space should be private so you can fully let go and engage with the movement. Clear any obstacles and ensure you have enough room to stretch, jump, and turn.
👨🏾💻Prepare your tech and environment: Test your internet connection beforehand to avoid interruptions. Set up your device (computer, tablet, or phone) at a good angle so the instructor can see you (if interaction is desired) and you can see them clearly. Have water readily available to stay hydrated. Consider using headphones or a portable speaker to enhance the music and audio experience, but make sure they're not so loud that you can't hear the instructor's cues.
🧘🏾Mind and body preparation: Before the workshop begins, take a few minutes to center yourself. You might do some light stretching, deep breathing exercises, or a short meditation to get your body and mind ready to move. Have a journal and pen nearby if you'd like to jot down any reflections or insights that arise during or after the workshop.
👯Dress comfortably and appropriately: Wear clothing that allows for a full range of motion. Layers are a good idea, as you may warm up quickly. Consider whether you'll be moving barefoot or if you prefer supportive shoes.
💖Embrace the experience: Come with an open mind and a willingness to explore. Don't worry about getting the steps "right" or comparing yourself to others. Focus on connecting with your own body, enjoying the movement, and letting go of any expectations. Remember, this is your time to move, release, and rejuvenate

Testimonials from past participants
-
Josué, The ER: Mexico City
"Thank you for reconnecting us to ourselves and the Earth." - Josué,
-
Haley, The ER: Berkeley
"I had been searching for a container exactly like this - somewhere where all are welcomed with whatever movement background we bring, where we're invited to move for ourselves and with each other, where we can collaborate and create from a deep authentic place to bring a concrete and soulful offering to fruition. … I felt a deep sense of connection both to myself and to those I was moving and exploring with in this container. There was no sense of hierarchy which was so refreshing and unique in a setting like this."
-
Xamada, The ER: Hybrid Immersion
