Letting the Body Lead
Intuitive movement & embodiment tools for realigning with your deeper body wisdom —
and for supporting others in accessing theirs
A free two-part workshop to experience and learn transformative body and movement practices that open pathways for healing, growth, and long-desired change, for yourself and for those you serve.
with Stefana Serafina
🍃 Journey into your deeper body intelligence to harness its guidance and wisdom for your life and leadership
🍃 Tap the transformative power of your body's intuitive movement and expression and leadership
🍃 Receive some basic yet powerful body tools you can use with others (be it clients or friends) to support them access deeper possibilities for healing and growth through embodiment
Led by DBI founder and lead teacher Stefana Serafina,
these fully experiential online journeys explore the native languages of the deeper body: sensation, emotion, expressive movement, instinct and intuitive perception, and connection to the ancestral and mythic psyche.
This 2-pat workshop is for everyone interested in experiencing the transformative effects of letting the body lead the way through its deeper knowing and intuitive movement intelligence — and it is especially an invitation for healers, guides, educators, coaches, therapists, artists, and others who are seeking a new growth edge in both personal life and professional practice.
In the 90 minutes together, you will :
🍃 deepen your own capacity to listen to and trust the communications of your deeper body, freeing up new insight, movement, and possibility from within.
🍃 explore grounded ways of supporting clients, friends, and community in reconnecting with their own deep body wisdom, as a counterpoint to overly cognitive or disembodied approaches to presence, healing, and growth.
You will give receive a powerful taste of what's possible through the Deep Body Movement practices — and how the yearlong Embodiment & Movement Facilitator Training Certification beginning in April can revolutionize your life, work, leadership, and impact.
Part One
🍃
Letting the Body Lead
Allowing your body’s emotional, sensual, and ancestral intelligence to guide your life and work
Sunday February 8, 10–11:30 am Pacific, 19–20:30h CET
In this session, you’ll be invited to sense, move, and let your body express without words, in ways that connect to your inner knowing and the body's naturally feminine nature.
Through guided exploration, you’ll experience how emotion, sensation, and instinct naturally guide decision-making, creativity, and presence. You’ll notice subtle communications from the body that often go unnoticed and tune into them with curiosity and care.
This session also opens a window into how you can guide others into their deeper body intelligence—helping them access emotional, sensual, and instinctive layers of knowing through movement and embodiment practices.
Part Two
🍃
Intuitive Movement for Healing and Realigning the Psyche
How movement shifts outdated stories and opens new possibilities
Sunday March 1, 10–11:30am Pacific, 19–20:30h CET
In this session, you’ll be guided to sense how old narratives, habits, and long-held patterns are held in the body—through posture, gesture, breath, and subtle tensions. You will allow sensations, stiffness, aches, and embodied patterns to express and unfold through movement, telling without words the stories your body carries and needs to release and transform.
You will work with the Timeless Dancing Woman archetype to free up embodied intelligence and flow, allowing your movement to guide the evolution of your next steps and inhabit your body with presence and freedom.
You will leave the session with Deep Body Movement tools to take into your own life, and to support others in your life and work in using movement as a force to reshape habits, patterns, and ways of living.

The word for this work is alchemy! It is truly life-changing. Life-giving.
I am amazed and grateful for the tribe of women you have gathered, Stefana– as they are essential to creating the field that allows this catharsis and healing work together.

Stefana’s work has transformed the way I relate to my body and move through the world. Through the Deep Body Institute programs, I learned how to quiet my mind, come into deeper presence in my body, resource my nervous system, heal body dysmorphia, change how I engage with triggers and trauma, build community, and become more creatively expressed. This is no exaggeration, nor a complete list of the impacts it has had on me.

I love Stefana’s ability to hold space, to lead by example. She takes you by the hand and yet gives you so much possibilities and freedom to discover.
I feel held, seen, guided, accented and inspired by her presence, by her groundedness and authenticity.
