Glad you landed here
My name is Samar Linn. My work as a DJ, coach + catalyst was born out of my personal journey to live life abundantly which led me down a track of personal and professional inquiry. I have a breadth of training and certifications including 5Rhythmsยฎ dance meditation, integrative coaching, spontaneous art expression, body work and decades of experience navigating the corporate world, too.
Individual Sessions
Based on your intentions for coaching, we use a mix of techniques that lead to tangible, practical evolution in your daily life. I draw from a range of cognitive (mind) and somatic (body) training to guide you. Together, we explore your most effective discovery tools such as talk-coaching, bodywork, art, visualization, movement.
5Rhythms Dance Meditation
5Rhythms is dynamic practice that fuses dance, expression and meditation in the same breath. This dance lab is full of juicy music and entices you into spontaneous and freeing movement. When we allow our bodies its full range of experience, our minds become still and we find inner peace, greater courage and joy to feel more at home in our beings.
The KIX Project
The KIX project is an open, real and safe space to investigate addictions. I have developed a special and specific combination of group sharing, exercises and dance based on my personal journey in conjunction with professional work. KIX is for anyone who has a suspicion that addiction is an issue, who knows their addiction(s) well, who is in recovery. KIX is also for anyone who want to understand their shadows that can lead into addiction, too. Although there are various motivations, what we all have in common is curiosity on the topic of addiction, co-addiction or compulsions.
Collaborations
I adore collaborating with various conferences, festivals, corporate and private events. Often Iโm invited to bring a collective, community close to big festivals or conferences. I also facilitate corporate workshops to enhance communication, team building and culture. And, itโs always an honor to play a set for private festivities, too.
I am touched by such beautiful words from you, around the world.
After launching a new experiment in May 2025, Longplay x-dance is here to stay - thanks to the x-dance community for their openness and their immense creativity. I am in such a magnetic love affair with you all.

a moment in my day of nostalgia .....
anyone else mourn the loss of the "less digital" era of CD`s?
or perhaps you still have your wall of CD`s? ๐ค

Y.W. is of my earliest clients in Berlin and I receive their words with so much gratitude for their courage because they were my 3rd client when I re-opened my coaching practice.
I have had the immense gift to hold space and guide Y.W.โs waves, shifts, evolutions, shape-shifting transformations.
The tools offered during sessions begin as a route to support the inquiry, however, they eventually become ways clients take back into their own lives.
Integrative Coaching Sessions are a proces of discovery, unshaming, empowerment and self-agency.
โฐโโค DM for more info or to schedule a no-cost preliminary chat to feel into how we can work together.
Sessions are available online or in person, in Berlin.

Creativity in Motion via a 5Rhythms Dance Journey
โน Theme: The Space Between โน
๐ฃ About x-dance:
Using the 5Rhythms framework, we will explore 5 fundamental life energies (rhythms) through the dance. The music is played like a โwaveโ where it goes up and comes back down again.
โน Theme: The Space Between โน
On a snowy day, there is a special sound of silence. The music of this sound ignites our senses in different ways. I love how snow creates a world between worlds and inspired by the nature alive today in Berlin, we will explore how tuning into the space in between speaks to us, moves us, enlivens us.
no previous experience required - open to all bodies.

it`s been snowing in berlin. i โฅ๏ธ snow. i love what it does to my senses: what i see, hear, feel, touch and taste is so different in snowy whiteness.
it takes time to get ready to go out in the snow and relish in it fully. it takes time to walk in the snow. it takes time to orient in the snowy parks.
stretching time vertically with nature.
and these 4days of snow on the ground - i let it inform me, the way i move, the music i am called to listen to, the food i eat ........
with that today, i had a H U G E dance .... but to the outer eye, well, perhaps it looks a bit more subtle

in these days between, where the days might blur or blend or morph together. where we might be able to loosen our grip on what has been and be in present awe of what might be ..... perhaps this is also an opportunity to release dualism and explore a depth beyond .....
in this way, I offer this 5Rhythms Wave to you .....
to give is to receive. to receive is to give.
dancing the oneness, letting melt illusions of separation.
expanding into personal creativity, breathing space for us all.
* let us also make space in our hearts and energies for those without the privilege to rest and or to be in safety. let us be humble with what has been granted us and give to other. let us remember that there are those in war or g3nocide, and let us recalibrate to stand up against oppression and for freedom, and that includes a free palestine.

โ I am in a sea of gratitude with an undercurrent of deep love, waves of sadness, immense joy, humility and awe.
Tuesday, December 16 marked the last day of the KIX project (as we know it today). And together - with the courageous beings who have dared to show up to explore their compulsions, addictions and walk the path of recovery - we ended well.
The last two days, I have danced so much in my body, but very much in my soul.
โ KIX is my heart project that began March 2020 in Laborgras. It weaves together various disciplines and my deeply personal and professional journey in addiction recovery. I have witnessed beautiful transformations - not always pretty but inevitably beautiful, raw and powerful. Some of us have journeyed together for these entire 5+ years.
There might be a thought that this project is โfor othersโ but never for a moment have I stepped out of the experience of humility - me too being in recovery, me too meeting my demons, me too being vulnerable, me too falling down and getting up again.
We walk the recovery path - a path of freedom from self-defeating thoughts x behaviors x feelings :
T O G E T H E R.

More to come on what this project was for me โฆ. rebirth is inevitable but first, we must let die what must die and open up to the empty space for the rebirth.

โ We can only keep what we give away.
