Ya'Acov Darling Khan
Movement Medicine for the 21st Century
Workshop Details
In a world teetering between breakdown and breakthrough, your body holds the key to remembering who you are and why you’re here. In this potent 90-minute session, you’re invited to step beyond the noise, drop into the beat, and meet the unbroken intelligence of your real, raw self in movement. No fancy steps. No dogma. Just your body, your breath, and the living ceremony of the dance. Through Movement Medicine — a potent blend of shamanic wisdom, ecstatic dance, and embodied transformation — Ya’Acov will guide you into a space where movement becomes prayer for self, others and the world.
Presenter Bio
Ya'Acov has been studying and practicing shamanism all his adult life. When he was 21, he was hit by lightning and through this, began a three-decade-long journey of initiation. As well as an 18-year apprenticeship with Gabrielle Roth, he has been recognised as a practicing shaman by Elder Shamans from the Sami (European tradition), and Achuar and Sápara peoples of the Amazon. Together with his wife Susannah, he is the Co-Creator of Movement Medicine. Ya'Acov's work comes from the heart. He inspires and challenge people, often with great humour, to become more real and present. He is the author of Jaguar in the Body, Butterfly in the Heart (Hay House 2017), the creator of Shaman's Song - Shamanic Journeys to Empower, Inspire and Re-Connect (Hay House 2018), and the Co-Author of Movement Medicine - How to Dance, Awaken and Live your Dreams, (Hay House2009). His latest book, Shaman - Invoking Power, Purpose and Presence at the Core of Who You Are was published by Hay House in Spring 2020.
