January 26, 2026 at 14:16Karim is such a good facilitator who really holds space for all kind of expressions in movement. I felt very safe and also inspired to dance and move in different ways. I felt into my body and senses in a new way. Very happy I joined and will participate in his classes again if possible!

December 12, 2025 at 08:38I love Karin’s sessions. He knows how to take you through an explosion of feelings, from stillness to chaos, from liberation to connection with your own power. Thank you so much for your wonderful work.

November 14, 2025 at 06:43Love it! Tired, energized, sad, or not. Everytime I come as I am, i feel great afterwards. It helps me process my emotions in the most graceful ways on my own terms. Karim invites you (if you feel like it) to the pre-dance warm up which is basically gentle, wonderful and is really a warm up. Fun even if you’re not here for the fun and would like to process other emotions. Even if you real tired. I just love this workshop every single time 🌷🙏🙏

September 1, 2025 at 21:32One of the most liberating and energizing experiences I’ve had. Karim holds the space with presence, warmth, and pure authenticity. The ecstatic dance session helped me release tension, reconnect with myself, and move freely without judgment. Highly recommended for anyone looking to reset, heal, or just feel alive.

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

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.
