"The day our old lives ended, was the day Amenti got born."
- 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲.

The Amenti MoveMeant Method was not born in a boardroom; it was forged in the fire of survival.
It began with 2 teenagers, who came from opposite worlds -

Gil was raised in a strict Jehovah's Witness household with rigid boundaries, physical "discipline"
and too many "No's".
Leading to a life of high pressure, homelessness at 17,
a psychosis in 2012, and a soul-crushing drive to prove his worth through professional dance.

Elia was raised by a loving, creative mother who, out of guilt for a father's absence, provided no "No's."
Without boundaries, she navigated a world of eating disorders, self-harm, and abusive relationships.
She was a punk kid seeking a "yes" that wouldn't hurt.

On 12.21.12 Gil suffered a severe psychosis followed by an epileptic seizure.
This was the "Year Zero" of Amenti.

Gil, driven by a desperate need to heal his mind,
dove into psychology, Hermeticism, and somatic experimentation.
Even becoming a World Champion felt empty.
He realized the real work was internal.

Elia became the Bridge and the Anchor.
Her childhood with a schizophrenic father had trained her to speak to the "unseen" -
to translate the chaotic, raw insights Gil was perceiving, into a language that others could understand and practice.

After a long time of research, Gil gathered a bunch of dancers to test his findings with.
The results, undeniable.
They became the first generation of Amenti,
and MoveMeant was born.
Over the decade that followed, Gil developed a globally renowned method, helping thousands of others heal aswell.

Most run from their pain or feel blocked by it.
But only when we fully embrace our pain can we find its key to our unique contribution in this world.

Beyond personal evolution, you will refine your craft as a mover, acquiring a diverse vocabulary of self-expression.

Focus: Trust, stability, fear response
Keywords: Support, groundedness, risk-taking, floorwork.
🌊𝗧𝗨𝗘 | Layer of Sensations (Water)
Focus: Emotional intelligence and the fluidity of feeling
Keywords: Sensuality, touch, choice, guilt
"response-ability.'
🔥𝗪𝗘𝗗 | Layer of Power (Fire)
Focus: Empowerment, willpower, the right to act
Keywords: Control, assertion, directness, shame, the power of "No."

A unique experience designed to bridge the gap between who you are told to be and who you truly are.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?
The psychological journey of becoming a "whole" human being. The process of integrating the conscious and unconscious mind to realize your true Self.

While we often navigate life through our Ego (the masks we show), Individuation invites us to look deeper at the Archetypes--the universal patterns that shape our behavior.
From childhood through adulthood, we face a fundamental choice: 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆.

The goal of this course is to peel back the "false wrappings" of personality-to reveal the authentic individual underneath.

🔥 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭 | 𝗘𝗴𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 & 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 (𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲)
》Ego foundations, Will, Personal Power, Agency and Choice, Boundaries, Radical Responsibility.

👁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮 | 𝗘𝗴𝗼 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 & 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗹𝘀 (𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁)
》Archetypes, Intuition and Dreams, Symbolism, Shadow & Light, Vision, Illusion.

🖍 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟯 | 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲
》Personal Life Timeline, Patterns and Cycles, Reclaiming Self-Agency, Awareness of Triggers, Strenghts, and Path forward.

🎇 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟰 | 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗼 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲
From Internal Reflection to External Realization
》Embodied Integration, world-class Artistic Guidance and Tools to translate all discovered insights into a solo movement piece. Authentic Expression and Truth,
Locking in the Knowledge, Remembrance and Ownership.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁?
Individuation isn't just an intellectual exercise; it lives in the body. Whether you are facing career conflicts, personal stagnation, or a desire for deeper motivation this process provides the tools to move through life with clarity and purpose. 💜

𝗠𝗘𝗟𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗘 we are coming back! 🇦🇺 This November we are bringing our renowned immersion "𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿" to you 🔥

Transforming Anger is a 3-day workshop for those who find it difficult to access, understand, or express their anger.
We recognize that many struggle with deep-seated beliefs and fears surrounding this emotion, often feeling overwhelmed by societal messages encouraging suppression.

Anger is an essential part of our emotional landscape.
We will explore our relationship with anger, and gain insights into why and how it emerges.
Uncovering our patterns and beliefs relating anger is a deeply valuable journey.

Explore your awareness of anger and facilitate its transformation through Dance, Somatic Movement, and thoughtful discussion.
We will delve into the underlying motivations that may hold you back from embracing your full power.

We will work with 2 layers of our MoveMeant method:
🌊 The 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, connecting you with your feelings and emotional identity.
🔥 The 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿, our egoic identity, empowering you to step boldly into your strength.

When we understand and express our anger constructively, it can be a powerful catalyst for change.
It encourages us to advocate for ourselves our values, assert our boundaries, and acknowledge and respect others' boundaries.
ANGER GETS SHIT DONE.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗯 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

Australia, we are looking forward to diving in deep with you. 💜

Reminding you of the magic of being.

At @luminaries.summit 2026 under the pines of Croatia, we stepped onto the stage to share our MoveMeant medicine—and got answered with total presence.

To witness everyone drop the hesitation, let go of performative movement, and simply dive straight into their own rhythm is why we do this work. No choreography to master, no judgment to carry—just the raw permission to be fully present in the body and let move what needs to be moved.

Watching everyone walk away rooted deeper into their skin, grounded in their own center, was an unforgettable reminder of the power we hold when we choose to embody all parts of us.
The medicine lives within you.

Deep gratitude to @luminaries.summit and every single soul who shared the floor with us. taken in Pakoštane by @amenti.world

Shame keeps us small. It is the brake on our authentic expression; the ropes that bind us when we try to reach out.

Shame deactivates our courage. It prevents the fresh choices and new steps needed to break patterns that hold us back. When we live in shame, we project that judgment onto others, keeping the cycle of secrecy alive.

To feel truly free requires the bold choice to be "other" than what we were told was lovable. It’s a journey of moving from compliance to authenticity, aligning our actions with our true selves.

In the Layer of Power, shame operates as the shadow to our fire. When we become ashamed based on the opinions, expectations, and gazes of others, we actively surrender our authenticity. We place their reality above our own, giving our inner power away just to conform. True empowerment begins when the body stops shrinking for the room, burns through the fear of judgment, and stands firmly in its own agency.

Two currents striking the same spark.

When connection isn't gentle, it demands total presence. It becomes a dance of sudden edges, sharp instincts, and charged reaction—where one body triggers the current, and the other answers without a second of hesitation.

@gilthegrid and @kamilla_takeyourtime step back into the storm for Part 2 of their Elemental Exchange at @medicinefestival . A vivid, improvised meeting of friction and synchronicity, shaped entirely in the heat of the moment.

The Elemental Exchange is a concept by @gilthegrid which is a unique dance experience wherein (first) meetings between people are a vital concept. An authentic and pure moment in which two souls create a connection with each other. The dancers will be invited to find each other synergetically on the sounds of the DJ (and dancer) Gil the Grid.

Shame is a prison.

The birthright of the Layer of Power is: the right to act—to choose, to stand tall, and to embody our fire. Yet sitting directly beside our fire is its shadow component: shame.

Shame creeps in when we look outside ourselves for permission. It takes root when we place the gaze and opinions of others above our own ground. Under its weight, the body shrinks. We pull our center in, disconnect from our core, and suppress our power just to remain safe and accepted.
Yet behind that heavy contraction, shame is a profound teacher.

It holds a mirror up to where our agency was compromised. Whenever shame paralyses, it shows us the exact place we abandoned ourselves to please the outside world. It reveals where we said "yes" but meant "no".

Shame is like a bubble we need to push through it with force and meet the discomfort, only then does the bubble *pop*. Shame stops silencing us and becomes the catalyst that restores our backbone.

Break out of the prison. Embody the "no" within the body and reclaim your power.

The prison you live in called Shame.
It needs three things to grow:
Secrecy • Silence • Judgement

》Comment "Power" to start unlocking your fire, and move with us from home with our Online Module. 🔥

Guilt says: "I did something bad." - It allows for repair.
Shame says: "I AM bad." - It attacks your very identity.
Born from our ancient evolutionary need to belong to the tribe, shame panics and whispers:
"If they see who I really am, I will be rejected."

To protect ourselves from rejection, we build a massive persona. We become the hyper-independent achiever, the nice pleaser, or the flawless perfectionist.

In the body, shame activates a literal collapse.
The shoulders round to shield the heart, the throat tightens, eyes drop, the jaw locks.
We procrastinate, paralyze our accountability, and hide our true desires— all to avoid the terrifying risk of being seen.

Shame dictates what you are "allowed" to want.
It places a heavy block right on top of your desires, your raw creativity, sexuality, and will(power).
You swallow your wildness, mute your ambition, bury your anger, and stay small.
But when you suppress your capacity to feel deep desire, you also mute your vitality.

Shame is a cage, but also a bubble.
Shame requires three things to grow:
Secrecy
Silence
Judgment

You cannot logic your way out of shame, because your mind built the maze. You have to move your way out.

Moving through shame isn't about becoming a "perfect, fearless person."
It is a somatic reclamation of your right to act, to carry out your will, and exist in your full unedited expression.

To move through the heavy freeze of shame, your body needs the physical capacity to hold the heat of your own power. You have to condition the vessel to support the change.

In our Online MoveMeant Module, we dive deep into the body, conditioning, knowledge and expression needed to unlock the somatic cage.
Stop hiding your fire. 🔥
