Neshamah In Motion Workshops:

Personal Growth with Conscious Dance and Jewish Spirituality

Warm greetings! Neshamah means soul in Hebrew. The workshops offer a guided movement journey that weaves together conscious freestyle dance to music, embodiment practices, and Jewish Spirituality. 

There are no prescribed steps for our dance; instead, we are invited to listen to our bodies and allow the movements to unfold from within.

The workshops offer space to connect with one's embodied self, dance for transformation, explore Jewish spirituality in embodied ways, including experiencing the Divine within and beyond as a felt experience in the body, and be in a supportive community of other movers.


Upcoming workshops


2026: In Person Workshops are taking place in Toronto starting in January


To Receive Details and Register, please join the Mailing list that includes Neshamah in Motion or email nadiastolpner@gmail.com





The workshops offer a guided movement journey to:

Reconnect with the home of your body, 
Reconnect with the radiance and wholeness of the Soul/Self and the Source of Life,
Use dance and movement to let go of what is no longer serving you and step into what you are cultivating and creating at this special time,
Listen through the body to the wisdom within,
Be in a supportive community of other movers. 

Jewish spirituality (prayer and imagery) is woven in to inspire an embodied connection with the voice of the soul and with the Great Mystery we are a part of.
