SENSUAL ALCHEMY 2024

2024 SENSUAL ALCHEMY

The 3rd annual experience hosted by Elizabeth Carmine Black, Sensual Alchemy is a 6 day, 5 night expansion of CB’s experiential movement intensives.

Sensual Alchemy is an experience where movers can explore what it means to alchemize energies through sensual & somatic practices, while deeply connecting with themselves and each other. 

Participants will be offered tools that deepen an understanding of their holistic awareness, while also learning sustainable practices for movement and accessing embodied states.
Its focus is to actively explore holistic, technical, inclusive, and integrated aspects of Carmine’s Methodology.

AN ONGOING SERIES

Each day incorporates an in-depth understanding of how to explore somatic themes, while giving students an opportunity to expand their movement vocabulary.
Due to the nature of this experience, the space offers students the ability to rest, reconnect, and reset.
The tools explored and curated are for experienced movers and somatic practitioners, but if you feel called, you are welcome to register.
