My mission:  I am in service to the co-creation of a culture of oneness through embodied awakening.  A student of dance, yoga and the Dharma for most of my 36 years, I am also a priestess, soul guide, experiential physicist, visionary art activist, love warrior and tree hugger. With you, I am here to inspire a revolution of Dancing Evolution, or Dancing freedom.

Samantha has been teaching Embodied Arts in the forms of yoga, transformative dance, contact dance, improvisational performance techniques, and energy healing all over the world for the last 14 years. She has trained teachers in the fields of yoga and contact improvisation, helped to develop, expand and sustain transformative dance communities in the US, Japan and Australia, and worked to integrate visions of ONENESS: sustainability, spirituality, art, and emotional wellbeing into all of her relating - professional, personal and trans-personal.

She has been honing the form called Dancing Freedom since its inception in 2000, and has since created PEACEBODY: an integral mandala for embodied awakening inclusive of yoga, dance, soul empowerment, light work and sustainability.  Both Dancing Freedom and PeaceBody have grounded her life and her teaching in practice.  They give potent vehicles to activate stillness, and bring gentleness, self surrender and and embodiment to daily action. They reflect to her and others what it IS (and is not) to Dance Freedom, and ground constancy within the endless change that is life. She has shared Dancing Freedom and PeaceBody in diverse communities and contexts including international Vision Quests with Constantine Darling, activation classes at EarthDance Global Peace Prayer, Embodied Ecology at Bioneers, youth empowerment events with Humanity Unites Brilliance and with her growing Tokyo sangha.  She is INTESELY INERESTED in bridging dance and embodied awareness into empowerment and social change communities.  Here, there is great need to listen and blossom in the simple and infinte wisdom of the non-verbal.  This bridges unity in diversiy like nothing else!  She believes that this work, and all body based spiritual practices, mirror a human fullness and an awakening unique to our time - a time where more and more humans of all ages and races are coming together to DANCE FREEDOM. She offers her teaching to the Earthing of Awakening on GAIA.
