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.
๐ฃ x-dance ๐ฃ Creativity in Motion via 5Rhythms Dance
This coming Saturday, November 29, we x-dance. It`s an opportunity to drop into the beat x body x heart with whatever is alive in. Letting go of constructs, we get curious moment by moment what movements, what sensations, what feelings arise. Without analysis or judgement, we bring it all through a 5Rhythms Wave - 5 essential energies - into the present moment. To be alchemized.
Each time, we explore a different theme as an invitation into the dance.
โ November 29 Theme: Connection โ
As we get closer to the "holiday" season where there are often constructs and myths about connection, let`s take the experiment to the dance floor on what is connection moment by moment?
โ How do I connect to the different aspects of myself?
โ What ideas do I have about "dancing with someone else"? Is there spaciousness for new possibilities of connection?
โ What types of co-creation emerges when connection becomes a fluid, multi-textured exploration?

Morning Practices have been a part of my life for the last 15 years.
Through the practice, I`ve learned a combination of intention, discipline and curiosity support these morning practices to evolve and shift as they need to.
Some phases of life need more movement, some
more writing or drawing. Sometimes weaving the intelligence of dreams are what`s most alive. In darker months, lighting a candle and music often call. Reciting prayers, or making up my own each morning. Sharing gratitudes with a few friends upon waking .....
Some times my morning practices drop away for a period of time. Yes indeed, even though I know how precious the morning practices are, they can slip too. Gently, I pick them up again and when I do .... I have the glorious reminder .... what an incredible love confession to myself.

What do I do between giving integrative coaching sessions?
I integrate and release, both honoring the session that just passed and preparing myself for the next session or the rest of the day.
Usually, I dance (no surprise). It`s a way for so much to happen - a prayer for my client, an honoring of their personal journey and agency, a way to process my own experience and any energy that built up during the session.
--
โ Integrative Coaching sessions with me are an opportunity to both release blockages (from the past) and create change (in the present). My approach is rooted in 10+ years of experience. In our sessions, I draw from a range of techniques to support your individual needs. Youโll discover ways to resolve challenges, restore connections and navigate life with greater resourcefulness.
I have met some common themes in my work that support people to live authentic, self-loving and full lives. Although not exhaustive, here are a few topics on which I coach
Addiction Inquiry: Practical tools and cathartic techniques to bring life into balance.
Breaking Open: Ways to reconnect to the self after a loss, break-up or other ending.
Healthy Relationships: Compassionate inquiry into developing positive relationships with the self and others.
Living Purposefully: Techniques to discover and embrace values and purpose in daily life.
Reclaiming Sexuality: Explorative methods to heal wounds and reclaim abundance of sexuality, sensuality.
Self-Confidence: Methods to step into assertiveness at home and in the workplace.

Today, I had the immense joy of supporting a client in an ending ritual to our work together. We spent time reflecting on where he`s been, what`s shifted in his life and revisited all the tools he`s gathered over our time together.
We explored and developed a series of body-based techniques, artistic inquiries, visualizations and cognitive approaches. In "a summary of summaries", we made space for past hurts to be witnessed and tended to, for old beliefs to surface and be curiously explored, for current stagnation to be held compassionately and for feelings and thoughts to be openly sensed. As we re-capped today, he expressed how this holistic toolbox brings "joy at not being so powerless".
I love my work deeply, and not a day goes by when I am not humbled, in awe and so proud of the courage that sits before me (in that empty chair ;-))

๐ And big love to Indie who`s naturally fallen into the role as my sidekick since the day I adopted him, one year ago.

Metamorphosis is open to anyone who is curious about their addictions or compulsions, whether you are exploring this topic for the first time, have intimate knowledge of your patterns, experienced in recovery or not.

๐จ For our investigation together, we will use tools of:
5Rhythms Dance
Creative acts of catharsis
Games and sharing
Visualizations, drawing and writing
๐ Held in the beautiful Seminarhof Drawehn with delicious food, comfortable beds, a special studio to hold our process and a sauna to integrate.
๐ If finances are what holds you back, please let me know and we can work something out together.
๐ข Special Retreat Take-aways
In addition to the rich retreat experience and the connections formed, you will receive:
A Resource Guide โ a compilation of all the exercises and any theory to easily refer back to again and again.
Group Integration Sessions โ 2 group integration sessions take place after the retreat to allow space for integration, group support, processing and sharing
It is not just what โhappens at a retreatโ that paves our way for healing but how we integrate it into our daily lives. It is a joy to host these group integration sessions post retreats which deepens possibility for lasting change, and connection among everyone

About Harvest x-dance
Erntedank is a German word (I recently learned) to encapsulate the end of harvest โ a time of celebration and a gratitude to what the summer brought (or didnโt). This yearโs โErntedankโ falls on October 5, therefore, what a beautiful opportunity to take this vibration and curiosity into our dance together on the Saturday.
Harvest x-dance will offer a variety of creative ways to explore your personal theme of โthankfulnessโ. Alongside the main 5Rhythms wave there will be optional spaces to bring this investigation to life.
Weโll let our thinking minds be still, and bring aliveness and curiosity to through the body :
What did these summer months offer me?
Can I make space for appreciation, even if it wasnโt as โplannedโ? Or that I might have โtried hardโ for something?
What could celebration look like in real and true way for me?
Did I receive any unexpected gifts? Even if the โharvestโ wasnโt as expected?

An unnameable energy these days. Something that`s a combination of sad-angry-exhausted-hopeful-playful-exasperated-done-alive-lost.
So, I got myself a prop (chair) to give me an object to relate to, for my energy to "be met" in a different way than the wide open space.
The recording of my experiment got cut short withย Indie (my dog-creature-companion who still doesn`t really get my dances). I share it with you anyway, a mid-breath pause .........

When I heard Berlin Nocturnes perform their live poetry and music "The Er0t*c Album", my whole body was vibrating. The sounds and the words were at once deeply sensual, vulnerable, a huge turn on, funny and seducingly wise.
I was yearning to get up from my chair and move along with them - and fast forward to now .....
This Saturday (Sept 27), we are co-creating a deliciously sensual space for you.
First, I`ll lead you through a 5Rhythms Dance to guide you into your body x breath x heart and the space with each other.
Then, Berlin Nocturnes will take us on a journey ๐ฏ ๐ฆ ๐ ๐
Each poem in The Erotic Album was written from a different part of the body โ fingers, tongue, penis, heart. Accompanied by live piano, electric guitar, a soundscape of rolling waves to pulsing heartbeats, and scent, every note offers a new flavour of the erotic.
Sometimes surreal, sometimes playful, often curious, soulful and powerful.
With deep bass, tender piano tones, and sensual soundscapes, this live set invites the erotic to resonate through your body โ one part at a time.
Come, let your body speak.
