Dance Alchemy Monthly Laboratory

Pre-requisite: One Part of the Dance Alchemy Training or any online or in person 2-5 day workshop

Each month of the three month modules, you receive guidance to choose a particular issue that you’d like to bring more awareness to (such as, an automatic reaction, a painful feeling that always overwhelms you, a habit, or a certain situation.) there is no right or wrong, good or bad, we are not fixing… We’re learning to bring the light of awareness do its work!

To participate, you need to commit to the following guidelines. Without this the alchemy will not really work. These guidelines will give you a grounded way to have transformation, fun, freedom (and less suffering and confusion) in your daily life. Homework and partner meetings take little time, but support you to flow and rise higher when they are regular.

• You will be required to attend our monthly meeting, or if you cannot join to watch the recording within 5 days of the live one. If you cannot attend the meeting your partner can report for both of you, or you can share your results, feedback, or questions on our WhatsApp group or in a group email.
• You will meet 2X each month with your partner, and you will have an assignment to complete each month. We will dedicate a few minutes for you both to arrange your partner dates during our monthly meeting.
• You will be given a form for your lab – exploring in daily life – which you will fill in each day and week, and will be easy to follow and keep you on track.
• You will have a partner that you can easily connect with, hopefully who lives in a nearby time zone! Meeting times will be set up in our monthly meeting. If you two are not able to meet for any reason I can put you with a partner where meeting is easier.

Everyone who books for a 6 month package will receive a 30 minute consult session with me, at the beginning or anytime during those 6 months to customize and clarify what is happening in your laboratory experiment.

– Meetings will be 3 hours with a 15 minute break, so we have time to do some process, and have time for everyone to share

What participants say:

“The dance laboratory has helped me greatly to bring stuck and hardened emotions out of my body where I feel they have been locked up for many years. It allowed me to feel safe and connected within my own psyche and in turn to feel safe and connected to others. By being in a safe , loving and nurturing environment , I was able to trust in myself and others again. Being vulnerable in the dance laboratory has given me the freedom to trust myself in living life more fully and honestly.” 💜

I found the Laboratory very helpful!
To work continuously with one subject over time, and keep it in focus, helped me realize how, and how often it comes up – and awareness grows! Having the meeting and a partner to share is a resource I can depend on, and it made me feel held, safe, and more enthusiastic about awareness in my day! It was also great to hear everyone, to remember the tools from our work and hear new ones from Maneesha when needed, and to hear everyone is a great chance to learn, and makes me feel less alone.
Meeting on a regular basis to share, is the strength of this way of working. Meeting with the same fellow travellers and with Maneesha shapes an alchemy container. I also feel that we all are part of a growing hub that expands and strengthens the dance alchemy work.

It is a privilege to work with Maneesha, to get first hand knowledge and experience from her long and dedicated work. And to feel her energy and enthusiasm, humbleness and dedication to this way of working.

I experienced the Laboratory as a safe container to face a big fear. One that had been in my life for a long time, but that I couldn’t get any further in by myself. Maneesha’s amazing presence, the sessions and the sharing with my partner allowed me to explore step by step what was happening. That fear now feels softer and kinder. I feel like I took a big step in myself and thanks to Maneesha and the Lab I even enjoyed being in it!

The Dance Alchemy Lab is an invaluable opportunity for growth! Guided by Maneesha’s loving, creative and vast expertise, I’ve embraced awareness of key issues, transforming them through dance and connection with fellow participants. I highly recommend it!

The Lab has been a supportive space for me, both after a group session with Maneesha and beforehand. It’s a place of practice that has helped me navigate challenging moments more effectively. Staying connected to the Dance Alchemy community and having a partner to share with has been incredibly valuable, as we’ve supported each other.

The Dance alchemy lab has been a safe container for self reflection and growth in the last few months. I have felt so much support from my partner doing the homework and have started implementing the tools in my everyday relationships.
