🔥 Ignite Your Dancing Avatar:3-Day Healing Dance Retreat
The first retreat was so cool I joined a second time. 3 days with beautiful people, dancing, discovering, learning, connecting, being with what’s there and also letting everything that wants to be seen, seen. Every time is different. But again a wonderful experience. Thanks Jerome and Isabelle! See you next time

Quantum Body | Flow Contact and Magic Breath
Another incredible dance and breath journey! The SOMA breath brings me into contact with my higher self and other dimensions, I love it!
Quantum Body | Flow Contact and Magic Breath
Transflow fusion is an inspiring combination of free movement, flow, breath work and contact improvisation, under the impeccable guidance of Jerome. The theme of this session was the quantum body, a wonderful journey practicing freedom and mindfulness.
Fantastic workshop! Flow contact is mouvement medicine, it is healing, playfulness and connection.
🔥 Embrace Your Spring Renewal: 3-Day Dance Retreat
It’s a kind of magic! It blew me away in so many ways: I thought it would be scary, but I felt safe. I recovered and rediscovered my energy source without even knowing it was lost that much. Met wonderful and really lovely people (incl. the other teachers) and learned some beautiful life lessons along the way. Don’t think, just join the next time this event is available. Thanks for sharing your passion Jerome
One-day Flow Play and Magic Breath
Beautiful combination of dance and breath!! First, you get the chance to connect to yourself through dance, expressing your feelings and desires. And also to connect to the other dance partners. Afterward, you go into a personal breath journey. The guidance of Jerome through the SOMA breath session is fantastic! After the day workshop, I felt reborn!
My pleasure to share love with you beautiful people, thanks a lot Jérôme for the opportunity to get this so special safe space, it mean so much to me ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Sandra
A wonderful playground where I can (re)discover my movability. Not doing, just being. Being danced. No work, just play! Freedom. ❤️
Ellen
I totally support what you’ve moved within me, because that is the gift I gave myself.
Roger
What Jerôme’s class brings me is a place of transformation and recycling of my emotions, through the body. I’m more self-aware in relationship as a result. It also strengthens my faith in human connection, because of the fun and kindness that develops.
Tamara
future teacher
In this space I can safely practice how to bring the relationship between my body and my mind into one of More equal and Playful cooperation, rather than one of discipline and domination. I become aware – can notice how – my Body/mind are always in dialogue, never static, and I am encouraged to move in the flow – yin/yang – without judgement or resistance. At least, that’s the goal 😉🙏💛
Michelle
Getting over mental boundaries about being close to others
Interacting with others on a different level also helps me deal with daily social interaction
Chronic pain management, making it easier for my body to return to a natural flow state
And feeling more at ease in my own body
Julia
Magical, just magical. The space: created by beautiful souls and their energies 💫The body is indeed sore today! 😆 and the emotional body allows some soreness too, some sadness to sit along with the amazement of receiving love 💛🚿💦
Michelle
Yes. And yesterday’s ending ceremony was the cherry on top. How important it is to be invited and to invite ourselves to connect and treat each other with kindness, love and care. We all know that as human beings and the mamals we are that this helps us thrive. 🙏 to the soul (I don’t know her name) who thought of inviting us to do this process.
Kim
I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed and appreciated the class – the community the safe space the JOY in the body! 💫 you have (co) created something special 💛
Michelle
So what really helps me as a musician is first the connection with my body, which i believe is integral in a performance, being musical or not, beyond that you also explore communication with your colleagues in a different way, as the same you would do in a improvisation in music, you would explore the movements and geometry of your own body in relation to another, counterpoint… so for me is also an ludic way of doing the same i would do in musical dialogue, but without all the self judgments and technical struggles with instruments
Last but not least, connecting your breathing to your movement is an excellent way of connecting better my breathing in my playing, in my case since i play wind instruments is even more, but for a string player or whatever would still be important and healthy, usually we tend to create unnecessary tension and disconnection with our breath when playing
