Dance as a pathway for healing body, mind & spirit
Miriam Peretz
weaves movement and ritual together to create safe, communal spaces for healing and empowered embodiment. She is a life-long dancer who has immersed herself in the study of dance forms and sacred movement practices from around the world, focusing on Central Asian dance, and the mystical practices of Sufi whirling and ritual. Miriam sees dance as a uniquely powerful means of expressing deep emotion and spiritual yearning, and therefore the perfect embodiment of prayer.
Miriam is the creator of Nava Dance, Nava Movement and Integral Dance, all modalities for holistic dance practice integrating traditional dance forms, somatic inquiry, embodied intention, and breath awareness. Miriam offers workshops and retreats worldwide.
“Miriam Peretz’s teachings transcend physicality and transmit sincere potent spiritual wisdom teachings. She is a living embodiment of divine grace, illuminating pathways towards the sacred within every heart.”
“With Miriam’s classes and teachings, I feel cradled in sanctuary, guided to the deepest inspirations, healings, and joys. I believe that Miriam’s classes are for everyone — a loving call and a guiding hand to our better selves. Her teachings and rituals have become core to my practice and identity. I am indescribably grateful for all that she shares.”
“Miriam’s dance prayers have supported me through these difficult times. She opens my heart from the moment of her first transparent gesture. I love so much that she invite us into dance through blessings and rituals, so I feel connected from the very first moment to the essence, what the movement is about. Miriam somehow open a space where we can speak in another language of our dreams, our joys, our sufferings, and our longings — and experience what is sacred.”
