soul motion: together we are better
september 5-7, San Anselmo, California , an in-person workshop with michael & zuza engler
In a world constantly striving to pull us apart, to alienate us against each other, it seems crucial that we emulate these graceful birds, to move in harmony while honoring our diversity. There may be no choreography more beautiful and more necessary than when we work together, pray together, play together, dance together. In Together We Are Better, we will dive into our Soul Motion practice to celebrate all of the rare and unique ways of the human condition. Let’s cultivate kindness as our stones to build bridges and generosity as the mortar that binds us. Understanding will be the ground we walk on and tolerance the umbrella that watches over us. Let’s lean into patience until it becomes the language we are all fluent in and tend compassion until it grows in even the most inhospitable conditions. This is an opportunity to build community through deeply listening and sensing each shape, each gesture, every movement, on the dance floor and in our every day lives. Please join us if you feel that connection and consideration have been diminishing from your life.
soul motion: foundations
September 23-27, 2026 with Doreen Tönjes and Michael
foundations are the first and most important part of any building. when something stands on good ground, it enables unimagined possibilities to build on it. It is similar with us: the clarity about where we stand as human beings opens up the inner spaces we need for our growth. the "foundations" are the first part of the soul motion training. they allow us to learn in detail the cornerstones on which our dance meditation method is built. the "foundations" are open to both experienced soul motion dancers and absolute beginners. this module is part of the soul motion teacher training and not a regular workshop.
soul motion: expanding our hearts
october 16-18, Linz, Austria , an in-person workshop with michael
if our bodies are the vessels we use to move through the currents of our lives, then the heart is the rudder, our moral compass, for navigating the cruelties and the crises in the world with compassion and grace. like the sun, the heart gives its greatest light and warmth when it burns through the clouds of dread and despair to radiate its rays of hope and encouragement. to reveal rather than conceal our hearts is to risk our vulnerability and invites a flowering of the human condition. let’s create a sanctuary where your longings and desires may root, roam, reach, and rise. if you feel pulled, please join our circle to be held in this sacred gathering of the potent exposing and expanding of our hearts.
rest and restoration
october 23-25, Kiel, Germany , an in-person workshop with michael
what if, rather than being alarmed into the rush hour traffic of our lives, we poured ourselves into the expansive, blank canvas of the day. what if, today, you did nothing required and everything inspired; nothing on a list and everything in your heart; nothing with a deadline and everything with a lifeline. what if, your practice and purpose was to abide in silence and stillness…to find solace and sanctuary within the turbulence of our lives, where we can retreat and be renewed. to rest is not self-indulgent…to rest is to reestablish an open relationship with the natural exchange of life; breath. to reconnect to the simple act of a body being breathed. to linger in the gap between the inhale and the exhale, between inspiration and expression, between giving and receiving. to align with the softer rhythms of nature imploring us to slow down.
