As we close the chapter on another full spectrum year, all of us here at SoMM HQ are taking a moment to pause, exhale, and reflect. It's been a season filled with energy, creativity, and meaningful connection. As we close the doors on this year's work and take a rest over the Summer, we acknowledge the massive work ahead as we continue to engage with the immense suffering in the world, including especially now in Palestine and Israel.
Our work is dedicated to supporting you to stand up, grow up and play your role in life and we will continue to direct our efforts to make this world a better place for those who will follow.
We thank everyone who came to the Lammas Tribal Heart online ceremony, a dancing fundraiser in aid of UNICEF's Children in Gaza appeal and Combatants for Peace.
Tickets for the beautiful recording are still available - we will be dancing to it ourselves soon.
Our flagship event, Summer Long Dance 2025, was everything we envisioned — a powerful gathering that brought together community, movement, and spirit. Thank you to everyone who made it possible, from participants and facilitators to the many hands behind the scenes.
We are delighted to share that thanks to the incredible generosity and support of so many, nearly £50,000 was raised for Fundacion Pachamama and many other wonderful charities doing meaningful work around the world.
We also want to share some bittersweet news. After several years with us, Claire Limberg, our Events Manager, will be moving on. While we're sad to see her go, we are also excited for her new journey.
Here are some words from Claire:
"Dear all, As I take my next steps and leave my role as Event Producer, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the inspiration, dedication, and magic of being part of this work alongside you all.
I leave with a full heart and beautiful memories.
With love and deep respect."
Claire Limberg
Please join us in thanking Claire for her kind and gentle presence in the School and in wishing her joy and blessings in her next chapter.
With love, gratitude and appreciation,
The SoMM Team

August's Study Hub Lesson
ROAMING THE HUB
with susannah and Ya'acov
August is a unique month on the Hub—there's no new Lesson, but you can still join us for this month's Tiny Keynote, Live Class, a Listening Bowl and a Resting practice. This month, we encourage you to let your intuition guide you. Follow what sparks your curiosity, explore what brings you joy, and dive into Lessons you haven't yet discovered.
We also have a new Resource on the Hub called "Bridging the Dream" to support integration for those coming from a Movement Medicine workshop or ceremony.
Thanking you
for being part of this worldwide community and for your attention!
We wish you all the very best for the rest of August,
Whatever you do, keep dancing! With warmth, respect and gratitude,
Susannah, Ya’Acov and the School of Movement Medicine Team.
We hope you enjoy these newsletters and that they offer something of value for you. Please feel free to share any feedback you have about them by emailing in.
