The body never lies. While words can deceive, manipulate, or beautify, the body always shows its true colors—whether we want it to or not. Honesty, truth, and vulnerability are at the core of our vessel.
I carry this knowledge with me to battle the ongoing mind games our thinking brain likes to play. Only by learning how to listen to our bodies can we truly become whole again.

MoveMeant with @estherperelofficial

I am incredibly honored to have been invited for the second time to Esther Perel's Sessions Live. "Cultivating Aliveness - Desire and Its Disruptions."

It was two days filled with inspiring talks, panels, workshops, and deeply engaging conversations with a wonderfully diverse group of participants and fellow speakers.

I was thrilled to contribute to multiple parts of this annual two-day event.
This video showcases one of those moments: opening the second day by helping everyone connect with their bodies using an exercise I developed for the MoveMeant Method (AMM).

It was wonderful to have Esther join in so we could experience it together, allowing the body to express itself in an often head-heavy world. by @gilthegrid

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.

Anger gets shit done. ⚡️

》》Comment "transform" to receive the info and signup link in your DMs 📩

Most of us were taught to fear or suppress anger. We’ve been told it's "bad" or "destructive," but at Amenti, we see it as an essential part of the human landscape. When you stop running from your rage, you can turn it into a powerful, supportive force.

In this 3-day course, we don't just talk—we practice. We explore our relationship with this fire, understand why it emerges, and learn to recognize it in ourselves and others.

Amenti was born from a refusal to accept the status quo. We saw what was lacking in the world—the gaps that cause real pain—and we chose to manifest something different. This November we are teaching Transforming Anger in Melbourne, Australia and we won't be coming back to Australia for a while.

📍 Location: Melbourne, Australia
⚡️️ When: 16 - 18 November 2026

By learning to truly understand anger, we open ourselves up to the possibility of transforming it into a powerful and supportive force in our lives.

We all know what it feels like to experience anger, and we’ve likely observed how the people around us respond when we express that emotion. Anger, like all emotions, has its own purpose and significance. In this course, we will explore our relationship with anger, gain insight into why it emerges, and learn to recognize this powerful emotion in ourselves and others.

Together, we can foster a deeper understanding of anger and its role in our lives.

We don’t believe in gatekeeping. We believe in:
🔹️Radical Inclusion: Knowledge shared with everyone, no exceptions.
🔹️Accessibility: Keeping prices low to prioritize people over profit.
🔹️Truth: Deeply inspiring, motivating, and unfiltered wisdom.

💰 Investment: Newly reduced. Our goal isn’t financial wealth—it's communal wealth created through shared knowledge and embodied practice.

“If you cannot name it, you can't heal it.”

When you're unaware of what parts are missing, how can you retrieve them? Our community provides us with mirrors that highlight our blind spots—making clear what has been hidden deep in our shadows.

When we find the courage to name the behavior, thought, or emotion, we move from denial into acknowledgment. We realize that nothing is inherently good or bad—it simply exists.

In the Layer of Sensations, this acknowledgment is the gateway to nourishment—the core healing quality of water.

Nourishment begins when we stop ignoring our thirst and finally name what is parched. By welcoming every feeling back to the surface, we water our own roots. Naming what was once suppressed softens the armor, restores our fluid current, and leads the soma(body) back into true healing.

Feeling vs Expression.

Feeling is the internalization—sitting with the sensation internally. Expression is the outward current—the release into motion and sound.
So often, we get trapped on one side of the spectrum: men swallowing their feelings until it hardens into anger, women pressured to constantly express without space to simply sit in the feeling.

In the Layer of Sensations, water belongs to everyone. Neither femine or masculine as healing requires both sides of the wave.

The bridge is nourishment. To nourish the emotional body means making room for the full cycle: having the stillness to truly feel what arises, and the freedom to express it through movement. When we allow that complete flow, the water cleanses and leads us to healing.

Much appreciation to @luminaries.summit for inviting us to share our MoveMeant method in Croatia 🇭🇷

Embodiment is nothing else than experience.

Standing on stage at the Transform Trauma Oxford event, I looked back at a journey that once felt impossible. My relationship with psychosis fundamentally changed the moment I stopped running from it. Today, I can stand here and say I am thankful for my psychosis—because without walking through that fire, I would not be standing here as the man, I am today.

When psychosis happens, our system often dissociates straight into the upper realms. We detach. We float away from our center. In those moments, what we need above all is an anchor. We need something tangible that calls us back, reminding us: " I have a body."
That is why I advocate so deeply for movement as a bridge for mental health and trauma. Movement is the anchor. It gives the body real, lived experience so it learns how to self-regulate naturally, without force or overthinking.

It was an honor to be invited back at @transformtraumaoxford master event.

Liquid Kinship

The healing component within the Layer of Sensations is nourishment.

To nourish ourselves means to stop fighting our current—giving full space to our feelings, our sensations, and our expression, welcoming back all the parts we once pushed into the shadow.
As we reclaim our right to feel, what was suppressed is finally permitted to simply be, and our internal landscape settles into ease. When you are nourished within your own truth, your presence naturally makes room for another.

Cleansing each other through MoveMeant, @gilthegrid & @dheleagbetou share the wave in a harmonious state of ebb and flow.

For the first time ever, AMENTI MoveMeant is coming to Madrid.

Created by Gil “The Grid” Gomes Leal, @amenti.world is a movement methodology that goes far beyond dance. It explores the connection between body and mind through movement, awareness and self-expression — learning to listen to the body, understand its signals and access a deeper form of embodied intelligence.

On October 7th, we’ll gather at @nomadetemplemadrid for a 2-hour immersive workshop, led by Gil alongside Elia Vitadamo and Alana Grace Giannotta Ortiz.

No dance or movement experience is needed. Just curiosity, an open mind and a willingness to explore your body in a completely different way.

Having Amenti in Madrid for the first time feels like a real gift for our wellness community , and one of those experiences that is difficult to explain until you live it.

AJNA introduces AMENTI
Madrid · October 7th
19:00–21:00
Nômade Temple
€60 · Limited capacity

Come experience it.
