BLANCHE: I'm a passionate explorer of what moves us and orchestrates our organic unfolding and participation with life in its fullness, as well as how we relax into our deepest essence. Somatic movement, dance, therapy and bodywork have been at the heart of my practice and I developed Somatic Alchemy to support people to cultivate their embodied knowing, healing, liberation and creative expression. I love weaving principles of physiological regulation and trauma healing into movement.
I hold an MA in Dance and Somatic Well-being from the University of Central Lancashire (UK), and studied Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing for 3 years becoming an Advanced practitioner as well as other embodied therapy trainings.

FRANCIS: Dancing to fantastic music in a beautiful environment taps me into the freedom that I am. I've spent the last 22 years developing the skill of guiding people into an experiential understanding of this freedom as our birthright. I developed Sambogaya as a vehicle for our collective work to evolve & its beauty speaks to everyone who visits. I trained with Gabrielle Roth back in 2004 to teach 5Rhythms & she still has my back every time I teach. My teaching is deeply inspired by my love of non-dual stillness, an experiential understanding that was given to me by Rupert Spira with whom I’ve attended over 25 retreats over the last decade. www.awakenedpresence.org
