Awaken through movement

What would it feel like to evolve …

from disconnection into embodiment? | from isolation into community? | from habitual living into conscious presence? | from the surface into depth?

Awake Human Being exists to help you discover that. Touch the Mystery is your introduction into the practice. Start from there.
The Great Mystery

Come Home to Yourself

Awake Human Being (AHB) is a set of embodied practices that supports you to explore the Great Mystery that is your being. Through conscious dance, breathwork, meditation, deep relaxation, conscious action and mindful movement, you will receive pathways back to your truest self.

No belief or prior experience needed. Just the willingness to show up and move.

Tali, Cape Town

"The combination of silence and movement was perfect. If something came up, I would dance with it—sometimes a gentle unfolding, sometimes a tumultuous unraveling."

Tiva

"My daily life is lived almost entirely in the mind. The dance retreat feels like coming home to myself. I now have the space and energy to show up for what is next."

Sarah

"People from the previous retreat said it was 'life-changing.' They weren't wrong. We became tuning forks to our authentic selves."

Jasmine

"I experienced a myriad of wonderful insights into myself and was amazed how you managed to incorporate so much: yoga, nature, creativity, visualization, and movement. For me, it feels like so much I have been working on has been integrated in a profound way."

Belinda

"The best gift I have ever given myself!"

Bevin

"I was blown away by the power and beauty of the music. The facilitation was a perfect blend of wise guidance and non-interference in the unfolding process. I came away feeling inspired and rejuvenated!"

The Founder

Brian Bergman

Brian didn't explore embodiment at the peak of his life. He found it in the dark. After a painful divorce and years of searching for a deeper meaning of life through Yoga, meditation, and deep inner work, it was embodied movement that finally helped him to break through. From this experience, Brian founded Awake Human Being.
