Serpentine is a transformative movement meditation practice that unlocks the potent pathways of feminine energy and movement within the body.
Designed to guide women in embracing the natural flow of life, Serpentine fosters a profound connection with the body, releasing stress and trauma that is affecting one's physical and mental health

For those who are ready to work inward and explore themselves this workshop is designed to transform movement - internal or external, into healing energy

Through fluid liberating movement, participants learn to harness the magic of their physical form, using it as a vessel to transmute emotions and release what no longer serves them.

This practice is more than just movement; it is a journey of reclaiming agency over your life. By reconnecting with the body, and its feminine sensual energy Serpentine empowers women to navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience, fostering a state of inner strength and vitality, discover the joy of living in harmony with their true essence, unlocking the power to transform their lives from within.

Serpentine is an immersive experience designed for those who are ready to embark on an intense journey of self-discovery and transformation. Combining the ancient wisdom of Yoga with the avant-garde expressiveness of Butoh, this unique workshop invites participants to explore the depths of their being through conscious movement, improvisation, visualization, and instinctual expression.

In Serpentine, you will be guided through a series of practices that challenge the limits of the mind and body, encouraging you to break free from internal constraints and connect with your most authentic self.

The Yoga practices will ground you, opening pathways of energy and bringing you into a state of mindful awareness. Meanwhile, Butoh—a Japanese dance form known for its raw and emotive expression—will lead you into the realms of improvisation, where you’ll tap into instinctual and ecstatic movement, liberating emotions and accessing profound inner truths.

Through guided visualisations and freeform movement, Alexe and Valentina provide a safe space to explore the unconscious, confront fears, and awaken dormant potential.
With 20+ years of experience in physical practices, movement, energy and emotional healing. 

Embrace the journey inward, and emerge more whole, more alive, and more connected to the essence of who you truly are.
This experience is deeply transformative, offering participants not only a profound healing journey but also a reconnection with their primal instincts and a renewed sense of freedom.
