More than a class or workshop, LÎLA is a mixture of artistry, healing, performance and a creative journey.

LÎLA means “Divine Play” in Sanskrit and signifies its unique approach. Its hybrid format is the synthesis of creator, Kristen Mangione’s over two decades of professional dance and healing arts experience.

With LÎLA, participants are guided through an alchemical process for the body and mind.
Each signature Dance Alchemy combines guided dance/movement improvisation with meditative breath, energy awareness and creative play for a heightened experience somewhere between shamanic journeying and a performance.

Each event or session is designed around a central theme to reveal deep insight and aha moments.  Discovery is found in bringing unconscious patterns to the surface through how your body moves.  When your body and nervous system are listened to, forgotten thoughts, decisions and patterns can emerge and shift, giving you profound new possibilities in areas that were before blocked, stuck or felt otherwise limited.
