SONTÉA // musical facilitator

Sontéa weaves a rich tapestry of Afro, Deep, and Organic House, infused with flavors of Amapiano, Dancehall, and Afrobeat -

Blending live flute, vocals, and percussion with deep, rhythmic grooves, Sontéa bridges ancient rhythms and modern beats, creating an experience that moves both body and spirit.

The duo - Arula & Nickie Sol - craft journeys that balance primal energy with soulful expression, inviting dancers into a shared language of sound, movement, and presence.

Drawing from their individual influences - Arula’s roots in soulful songwriting and world-fusion performance and Nickie Sol’s background in poetic expression and Afro-driven DJ sets - Sontéa channels a sound that is both deeply intentional and vibrantly alive.

Each set unfolds as a sonic pilgrimage of connection and self-discovery -music to awaken, unite, and empower the soul.

BRIGITTE WITTMER // Movement Facilitator

International dance artist, instructor, performer, and transformational movement guide.
Her journey has taken her across more than ten countries—from the studios of Broadway Dance Center in New York to the somatic richness of Faculdade Angel Vianna in Rio de Janeiro. Rooted in contemporary dance and Brazilian social dances, her path weaves through somatic education, contact improvisation, bodywork, yoga, gyrokinesis, and transpersonal psychology. Brigitte's passion is in integrating these worlds—guiding people into deeper connection with themselves through embodied movement and creative expression. As part of her ongoing research, she developed Liquid Leading—a practice that transcends traditional gender roles and invites each dancer to speak their truth through movement. It transforms dance into a co-creative language where stories can be exchanged, not just performed.

"To me, dance is more than art or fitness—it’s a gateway. A tool for awareness, expression, healing, and transformation. I hold space for play, experimentation, and deep listening—so you can return to your body, your power, and the ever-evolving dance of your life."

Let’s move together—and discover what’s possible when you remember the wisdom already living within you!✨

A Consensual Environment

*** As we come together in sacred movement practice, let us remember to embody the values of consent and mindfulness. May we dance in reverence for each other's boundaries, always seeking clear permission before engaging in physical connection, and maintaining awareness of the sacred space we share with our fellow dancers.

If at any point you find yourself in need of support or comfort, know that you are not alone. Our Movement Church community is here to assist and guide you. Simply reach out to one of us, and we will do our utmost to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your journey.

All are Welcome.
