March 13, 2025 at 23:27I’ve chosen Karim’s *5 Waves* as my weekly dance practice. It feels like a moving meditation, using my body in this way, allowing me to express whatever I’m processing – consciously or unconsciously – which I find deeply healing.
Karim is a truly gifted space-holder. His music, his exercises, his words during the warm-up and closing, and his warm, disarming presence make every session a transformative experience.

January 10, 2025 at 23:36Attending the dance was like a self-massage for my body and soul. Karim, the facilitator, is an incredible space holder who brings authenticity and care to every moment. If you’re seeking a safe, welcoming, and deeply genuine event to reconnect with yourself (and others) this is absolutely the place to be.

December 14, 2024 at 19:40Karim opens up a safe and powerful space. The introduction is very mindful and playful. This creates a community and the journey can begin individually. I felt liberated and peacefull afterwards and was able to experience a deep journey. Thank you Karim for being

Karim holds space so amazingly well, with his warmup, guidance and those wicked tunes! Makes it a powerfully therapeutic and fun experience…Have really missed his classes and glad you’re back on Karim! Bless

December 11, 2024 at 15:30The combination of Karim’s gentle and embodied facilitation and the contained and sacred atmosphere of the Zen Garden combine to create a space in which all aspects of ourselves are welcome, so that any stuck energy can be moved and emotions integrated.
