it is a precious gift to be in this body and the more i gently cultivate that, the more agency i have in moments of pain or sadness or anger or joy. the more choice i offer myself to move with what is, being able to meet the moment yet not get sucked into it. dancing is my favorite and most accessible way in. although the last week, i had so many beautiful moments of hiking and running and swimming and simply walking, walking, walking through towns and cities. plus a happy creature to meet me on my return, ready to continue the ritual in berlin`s summer sun.

Saturday Nights: x-dance & it`s variations
x-dance is a unique format that is based on Samar Linn’s professional training and years of holding various types of space.
x-dance is an improvisational lab that invites each person to express themselves freely. Through a combination of dance and exercises, everyone is invited to be exactly as they are. Moment. by. Moment.
x-dance does not follow a specific style of dance or genre of music. There are no special moves to perform or instructions to follow. Here, dance is main tool for self-exploration and self-expression.

Dance is my most potent antidote and I am counting down the days to this Saturday`s precious 5Rhythms fundraiser for Gaza in Manchester.
Am deeply grateful to be invited back for a second fundraiser event in Manchester (last year`s fundraiser sold out!). This one-day workshop is opportunity to be with our all parts of ourselves as we dance in prayer and creative expression. It`s a chance to be with our personal experiences and to support one another through the 5Rhythms map.
Today, as the atrocities in Palestine (Gaza and increasingly the West Bank) and as it sometimes feels like the whole world is up in flames, my heart is so ready for our precious exploration on the dance floor again in Manchester – SEEDS on Saturday, May 10th.
I hope you will join us for this. We are also accepting donations so please feel free to DM for info on how to donate
Creative expression is a form of deep action that gives voice, breath and movement to all the energies inside us. In the midst, we might feel alone or isolated, a jumble of heavy thoughts and feelings, or pent-up, caged-in personal truths, integrity and life-force energy.
On May 10th, we will explore together through the 5Rhythms map how movement is our healing art for ourselves, and each other. We will viscerally explore with curiosity and openness:
• How might we transform any feelings of hopelessness?
• How do we breathe life force energy into ourselves and support each other?
• How can we stand in our uniqueness and personal experiences within community?
• In which ways may we meet our own doubts and fears to weave into the courageous act of love?
I’m so looking forward to you joining me and each other for this special event dedicated to peace, love and hope.
All the proceeds will go directly to the Shawaa Gaza Emergency Relief, an initiative that began in December 2023 to bring clean water to the people of Gaza.
with love,
samar linn

In this immersive workshop, we first connect to ourselves through the body, make space to feel and bring attention to our senses, and explore voice x body x movement —meeting our own and others` boundaries with grace, abundance, and aliveness.

this song (and the documentary). 🖤🖤🖤🖤
after yet another long break from this social media world, sharing a dance with you all.
bring all parts and pieces of yourself to the various events I`m holding. Whatever the space, whatever the theme, it`s inevitably a celebration of freedom by giving permission to the people exact moment.
I have come into acceptance more and more the last year + that freeing our minds and souls, removing ourselves from the shackles of self dislike and boxes and the go-get-it lying narrative through the dance ..... is a revolution (along with a right of existence for all beings).
and well, we definitely deserve to be one ❤️🔥

Er*tic-sm, essentially, is an amalgamation of many aspects of the human experience. It is a combination of desires, feelings, expression and experiences. It fuels both our s— lives and daily lives; the latter sometimes a surprising discovery.
To harness the power of our aliveness and to allow for deep(er) connection with one another, it is oh-so-important that we
〽️ Understand our own boundaries with curiosity and compassion
〽️Give voice and expression to them with respect and assertiveness
〽️Hear others’ boundaries with acceptance and gratitude
🌈 Yes, No, Maybe | On Er*tic Boundaries + Edges (part of project CLOSER*) is an opportunity to explore this theme for yourself.
🔗 in Bio OR samarlinn.com/events/boundaries
Whether this is your first time exploring this theme or you’ve explored your er*tic before, all are welcome. We support curiosity, non-judgement, safety, connection and personal integrity. Ingredients you’ll find:
⚡️Setting the Space: A grounded beginning to first connect to yourself, your body, the space and your boundaries.
⚡️Starting with the self: We practice opening to an inward gaze before ‘going outward’. We will work with various methods alongside curiosity and non-judgement for you to meet yourself.
⚡️Entering dialogue: We welcome feelings and thoughts, and learn how they influence eroticism.
⚡️Inviting the body: The body plays a key role in our erotic expression, and we create methods to listen to, to express, and to move the sensations within the whole body.
