Dance Into Your Lust - Online
A 3 month training for all genders and s3xualities
23 September - 16 December 2021
Why Dance Into Your Lust?
Did you know that the word lust in Swedish and in Germanic languages includes the full spectrum of feeling good and the desire to engage in what feels pleasurable? To feel good is part of our human nature, we just need to befriend it and invite all of its different flavors, while at the same time accepting and being curious about the emotions that might be blocking us. I dream of a world where we can explore pleasure outside gender norms and race but still honor what our ancestors bring forward to us. This is what the course is all about.
A space where we move outside race and the binary norm
I see myself as a human and as a woman, but I also see myself as queer and gender fluid.
I was born in Sweden, but I owe non-Western cultures and especially African traditions the embodiment that I have found today.
As a participant in this space, you are expected to want to explore all these sides of yourself and interact with everyone regardless of gender.
What this training can offer you:
- Increased confidence in moving and being in your body
Improved connection and pleasure in your intimate life - Knowing yourself better, what you want and do not want, and how to manifest that in your life
- Increased self-compassion and understanding that "nothing is wrong" with you.
- Being able to move through others people’s and your own difficult emotions with more ease and trust that pleasure will return.
- Feeling more excited about life and what it has to offer.

Program Information
This program is built on connection and interactive exercises. It is developed to move you through different themes all related to our capacity to stay present in our s3xual and emotional selves. There are 7 themes and 5 group coaching sessions. During the coaching, a few individuals will each week receive one-on-one somatic guidance from Li and get support moving through arising challenges.
The tools come from somatic therapy, NARM, dance & movement therapy, tantra, conscious s3xuality, the wheel of consent and lies on a foundation of traditional dances and philosophies from Southern and Eastern Africa.
Schedule and Themes The themes are built up as waves to build up for diving deeper each week. You can also see the themes as a smorgasbord opening up to what areas in your life you would like to expand more within. After each theme, there is a week of sharing and one-on-one coaching to support each participant o their individual journey.
