About this program
Prepare for a soul-stirring, deeply transformative, and empowering journey into the heart of somatic movement.
Milèna holds the belief that dance is a sacred, revelatory practice. When we allow the body to return to its innate intelligence—when awareness is invited to roam freely across the landscape of tension, sensation, and restriction—something extraordinary begins to emerge. We meet ourselves more honestly. We bring to light what is asking to evolve. We begin to move from a deeper place.
Through the rhythms of the Five Elements, the guidance of the Four Directions, Floorwork, Groundwork, the integration of somatic practices, ritual, sacred dance, and embodied centering, we learn to access altered states of awareness that support the development of emotional intelligence, embodied resilience, and relational presence.
While some transformational work is best held in 1:1 settings or therapeutic containers, many wounds—particularly those that are relational, collective, ancestral, or systemic—ask to be met in the presence of others. These patterns often live in the spaces between us, and they require us to be witnessed, felt, and moved within a field of shared humanity.
This program is rooted in the belief that repair, integration, and awakening happen in connection, and that collective transformation unfolds when we show up in embodied truth—together.
* Participation is limited to a carefully selected group.

“Time heals nothing if you don’t move along with it.”
With Milèna May
"Allow me to guide you to meet your Soma—the vessel of your soul—again and again, until you wholeheartedly feel your sense of belonging there."
Milèna May is a liberator, a graceful warrior, and a compelling force that stirs something deep within—the energy to break free from illusion and meet the world as it truly is.
She doesn’t shy away from diving into the raw depths of pure awareness, yet she holds a sacred, grounded presence that allows you to fully explore what is arising—at a pace and intensity that honors your readiness.
Milèna is known for rekindling a sense of awe toward the infinite layers revealed through the body. Her guidance brings you inward—to a place of truth, from which you can access your Best Life, your Big Life, your fully embodied self.
“If you don’t do your dance, who will?”
Who is this for?
We believe that excellence in the art of teaching requires a strong commitment to one’s personal growth.
- Looking to guide somatic movement in individual, or group settings
- Ready to courageously dive into what is ripe and lean into what is uncomfortable
- Prepared to explore your shadows & shift towards the light
- In need to stretch beyond the known—to expand, to evolve, or to completely rewire your somatic story.
- Wanting to explore your deepest calling & honor what is screaming for attention
- Willing to surrender to your body’s medicinal movement
- Wishing to deepen your quality of transmission and overall presence
- In need of more angles in your already existing coaching/teaching career
"I didn't come this far, to only come this far."
Collective Experiencing
Because we don't heal alone.
Deepen your journey, witness others, and integrate more fully through the power of intimate group settings.
- Groups are guided by carefully selected returning students who are ready to hold this kind of space with integrity and presence.
- Meet with your group at key intervals throughout each block—connecting virtually or through a private chat space to explore what’s arising, ask questions, and validate your process in real time.
- Coaches work closely with Milèna to support and enrich your experience throughout the journey.
Integration Projects
- Some segments include an Integration Project, where students are invited to collaborate in small teams to prepare and present a closing piece that reflects and synthesizes their learning.
- Levels of participation may vary—some students will feel called to engage actively, while others may take on a more observational role. Both are welcome and valid ways of being in the space.
- The intention is to gradually build transmission skills through specific tasks, while strengthening public speaking, cultivating leadership, and learning from whatever may stand in the way of your growth.
No, you can register for each segment individually.
However, one of the key advantages of completing the full program is the strong sense of continuity and connection that develops within a consistent cohort. Journeying together over time allows for deeper trust, shared growth, and a more integrated experience.
While it is strongly recommended to follow the blocks in the presented order—each phase is designed to build on the previous one for a more cohesive and integrated experience—we understand that life circumstances vary.
If you're unable to complete an earlier block, you may follow a pre-recorded version or join that portion the following year to complete the program at a pace and sequence that works for you.
That said, the blocks are intentionally structured in a foundational progression, supporting a deepening journey both cognitively and somatically.
The online series presents the theoretical foundations of the somatic practices, while the live immersions focus on embodiment and integration within a communal, in-person setting.
If you’re only able to participate in the online portion, you will still gain deep somatic knowledge and cultivate a meaningful understanding of the body–mind–heart–soul connection. You are welcome to continue with the rest of the program, and we will work closely with you to ensure you stay integrated and supported throughout the journey.
Additionally, you will have the opportunity to return and attend the immersion in a future year to experience the embodied aspects of the teachings you may have missed.
Throughout the online series, various pre-recorded videos will be shared. These are divided into short, digestible segments of 10–15 minutes, totaling no more than 45 minutes per week. Reading assignments require approximately 30 minutes per week. All other somatic practices are designed to be integrated into your daily life—encouraging you to embody the teachings through your work, relationships, and everyday interactions. This portion of the program is less about extra tasks and more about developing awareness and applying the principles in real time.
This program is designed to complement and deepen any existing training or professional background. Many participants have integrated the somatic teachings into their work—bringing somatic coaching into 1:1 sessions or guiding individuals and groups toward greater embodiment within various settings.
