Happy New Year!
We wish you, your family, your community and the world, peace, wellbeing and the best possible journey through 2025,
And why not make 2025 your year to dance? We all know that movement is essential for physical and psychological health and wellbeing. Add some fantastic music, embodied awareness, your imagination and include your heart and you’ve got the powerful and effective practice called Movement Medicine. Remove any concern about what you look like or what anyone else thinks, and boom! There you are, surrendered to the beat and dancing freely into soul-deep nourishment for your whole being.
But don’t take our word for it. Check out this month’s Dancer’s Story and Teacher’s Spotlight and let yourself be inspired.
We’re here to help you find and make use of the kind of inspiration that’s been guiding our lives for the past four decades. Whether it’s a short practice or an intensive deep dive, you’ll find a tasty menu of possibilities with us and all the trained Movement Medicine teachers worldwide.
The online Movement Medicine Study Hub is there to support you to take your next (or first) steps on this journey of growth and discovery in the privacy of your own home with regular classes, teachings and practices with expert guides. See below.
Movement Medicine offers you a pathway to experience living deeply with meaning and purpose. This path can take you as deep as you wish to go with extraordinary workshops and intensives, apprenticeship and professional training.

WITH SUSANNAH AND YA'ACOV
THOUGH THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT, YOU CAN APPLY FOR THE WAITING LIST.
Ya'Acov & Susannah Darling Khan bring you their most powerful offering yet built on years of deep partnership with the Pachamama Alliance. Dancing With the Heart of the World moves toward the most in-depth Amazonian offering to our founding Achuar and Sápara partners. This intensive journey, working with a variety of shamanic, movement, and creative processes, will be highly participatory, appropriate for those who have both experiences with inner personal work and a commitment to being part of the solution in these critical times.

With ya'Acov and Susannah
Imbolc marks the promise of a new cycle as the light begins to return. Please bring with you all that you have been cultivating through January’s Dreaming in the Dark, so we can strengthen your intentions and dreams for the year ahead at this first light of year ceremony. As always, we will include our awareness of what is happening in the wider world in our ceremony, give it all back to the dance and alchemise it all into embodied prayer that can guide our action over the weeks ahead.
for being part of this worldwide community and for your attention!
We wish you all the very best for the rest of January, with warmth,
Susannah, Ya’Acov and the School of Movement Medicine Team.
