Welcome to the Soul Motion Institute

The Soul Motion Institute is a place for people who want to give the power of dance more space in their personal and professional lives. The dance meditation method Soul Motion forms the content and structural framework for our offerings. We bring a solid background in dance therapy, sports pedagogy, dance training, meditation, voice work and music.

Values that are paramount to us as humans and in our work with the Institute are: clarity, transparency and sincerity. We want to cultivate curiosity and courage together with our participants and help them to find and open their own doors for more balance, fulfillment and contentment.

Our offers are aimed at people who want to set out on a path. The path inward to their own depth and creativity and from there into the encounter with others. People who are committed to their own personal growth.

We see ourselves as a team that is complemented by international guests. Thus, diversity is also felt in the quality of the teaching and our trainees are accompanied on several levels.

The training attracts people with different professions and from several countries around the world. Participants report that the training has started a process for them that now accompanies them in their further life and keeps them awake for the paths they want to take.

We look forward to the journey together.

Best regards,
Doreen Tönjes & Edgar Spieker
