body and mind

Amenti movemeant

Amenti is a community-based organization and a decolonial psyche-somatic MoveMeant Method. Our foundation is grounded in an archetypal and symbolic understanding of the world and the human experience. We embody the magic of being by exploring the core elements of humanity and our relationships with everything around us. Drawing inspiration from ancient Kemetic knowledge, we deeply understand the connection between body, mind, and spirit.

Gil' The Grid' Gomes Leal, our organization's founder and developer of our method, was a professional hip-hop dancer for years before developing our teachings. The Amenti MoveMeant Method is a way of becoming more self-aware through the use of the body. We see our human experience as a holistic system - consisting of the body, the mind, and the soul (or spirit). The method comprises dance, (Jungian)psychology, somatic exercises, and shamanism. We combine knowledge from all corners of the world to give a complete understanding of life. We find harmony, agency, and self-acceptance when we understand our individual choices and their effect on our lives.

Community, the collective, is an innate and essential element in everything we do. To understand ourselves is to understand the other, and vice versa. Other people are our mirrors and teach us much about our choices, experiences, traumas, and joys. This is the reason why everything that we teach is taught in groups. It creates empathy and connection when we allow others into our healing journey.

Amenti MoveMeant's Method is a transformative method created by Gil Gomes Leal, which spreads awareness about the connection of the body and mind and gives tools for expanding the capabilities of self-expression and -awareness.
The Method consists of 7 layers; each layer connects to a specific life area. You can learn from us and our expertise in dance and understanding of the human mind and ego via our workshops and courses. We work with the body in connection to the mind because they are interconnected. Approaching our human experience holistically gives us agency over our lives and gets us in tune with all the subtle messages our body and mind give us daily.

always growing

The Movemeant Method has a therapeutic way of using movement and dance but is not dance therapy. You do not have to be ‘sick’ to use our method, because sick or not, we can all improve as humans. We never stop learning.
‍
Also, our method is a perfect tool to enhance your dance and become a better mover in all kinds of ways.
So, whether you are someone who likes to use their body to become more aware of their mind or are a trained dancer and wish to level up, the MoveMeant Method is useful in both (and many more) cases.
