Trance Movement Retreat & Sacred Touch

Een transcendente reis in jezelf

About Trance Movement™

Trance is a state of consciousness that everyone experiences regularly — during sports, while daydreaming on a train, when focused in the kitchen shelling peas, or during deep meditation.
In everyday life, our brain functions with fast beta waves. When you begin to relax, these frequencies slow down into alpha (mental relaxation, meditation) and theta (creativity, dreaming, subconscious awareness), leading to what we call a trance state.

The Trance Movement™ method guides you consciously and intentionally into trance using sensory deprivation (blindfold), darkness, music, and intuitive movement.

Trance Movement™ is a powerful, healing, and transformative method — a strong holistic approach — that uses breath, movement (dance), sensory deprivation (blindfold), rhythm, and sound (voice and music) to explore deep states of consciousness (meditation, trance) and awaken the innate wisdom of your body.

Trance Movement™ promotes therapeutic healing, personal growth, and transcendence. It invites you to release the masks of conditioning and separation, transcend the ego, and come home — deep within.

Trance Movement™, now offered worldwide by trained facilitators, was founded by Aernoudt Knecht. He combines expertise in psychology, somatic therapies, and a profound understanding of healing traditions from various cultures.

Trance Movement™ is a unique path to well-being, inspiration, and balance. It is available as individual sessions or in groups via workshops, retreats, and trainings. Thousands of participants have already embarked on this journey of inner discovery.

Sacred Touch & Movement

Alongside the Chakra journey through Trance Movement™, we deepen this process in four parts. In these sessions, we explore connection with self and others through touch, movement, and consent. The sessions are soft, intuitive, and playful.

You will explore your body, boundaries, and desires through self-touch, partner touch, and movement:

– Awakening Self Touch
– Wheel of Consent
– Trance Movement Touch
– Trance Movement Touch – Trio

All practices are attuned, and carried out with deep respect for boundaries and desires.

Who is this retreat for?

This retreat is open to everyone — singles and couples — who are passionate about dance and consciousness, and are looking for a meaningful holiday in the company of like-minded souls.

You are ready to open yourself to deeper connection, personal growth, and embodiment.

Due to international interest, this retreat will be held in English.
