Four immersive training include 3 in-person modules: Body Wisdom, Emotion in Motion, Heart -Wisdom, and Online Faciitation module to prepare you to lead a group dance meditation while diving deep into the practice yourself.

Two days and two nights of wellness retreat for a chance to slow down, take deep rest, reflect, and mindfully integrate what you have learnt from the immersive training. An all inclusive community retreat in the beautiful nature just outside of Chiang Mai.

12 hours of practicum and supervision. A chance to bserve and practice how group facilitation is being done. An opportunity to step up into leadership role and to lead an open group DANCEmandala session with confidence.

Move. Explore. Embody. Lead.

Are you drawn to energy work and curious about the wisdom that becomes available when we listen to the body through movement?

If you enjoy exploring practices such as dance, meditation, yoga, tai chi, or qi-gong, and feel called to deepen your understanding of movement as a pathway to connection and transformation, the DANCEmandala Dance Facilitator Training may be for you.

This is more than learning how to lead a dance session. It is an invitation to enter a deeper journey of embodied exploration, self-inquiry, connection, and wisdom — and to develop the presence and skills to accompany others on their own journey.

Learn through experience

Throughout the training, you will learn to facilitate DANCEmandala by immersing yourself deeply in the practice.

You will explore the principles and philosophy of DANCEmandala alongside body pathways, basic anatomy, energy awareness, facilitation skills, music selection, and session planning. Through practice and reflection, you will develop your capacity to listen, respond, hold space, and guide movement from an embodied place.

The training includes practical facilitation, a supervised practicum, and a graduation festival — giving you opportunities to bring your learning into lived experience.

Your journey begins before we meet

The training begins four weeks before the in-person immersion, with online learning materials and three live online meetings. This preparation gives you time to connect with the teachings, begin your personal exploration, and arrive in Chiang Mai ready to enter the intensive training fully.

The in-person training is a full-time immersion in Chiang Mai, Thailand, combining daily practice, learning, self-inquiry, reflection, and facilitation training.

While there is a structured framework for the course, the daily rhythm remains responsive to the group. The schedule may shift according to the energy, needs, and unfolding of the participants.

A pathway into embodied leadership

At the heart of DANCEmandala is the understanding that movement can be a pathway to presence, connection, and embodied wisdom.

As you learn to facilitate, you are also invited to deepen your own relationship with your body, emotions, energy, creativity, and inner awareness.

This training is for those who feel a genuine curiosity about embodied practice and a desire to share this work with others — whether you are already working in movement, wellbeing, yoga, dance, or somatic practices, or are simply feeling called to explore a new direction.

Applications are now open.

We invite you to reach out to arrange an application interview with Areeradh and discover whether this training is the right next step for you.

I particularly like “Learn through experience” and “A pathway into embodied leadership” for your website because they position the training as a lived transformation rather than simply a professional qualification.
