Dose of Pleasure Community at EDEN Studios

**Due to corona regulations, we are limiting capacity to 25 students only**

Dose of Pleasure is a movement meditation inside a dancefloor setting. We work with the frequencies of sound in order to penetrate the body into a state of purging.

This space we are about to share is a sanctuary -- sacred yet bold, wild and sensitive

We recognize blockages, the impact of resistance and the heavy weight of our own limitations. From this place, we begin to work. By connecting to the power of our groove, we let go, give in, surrender and yield to what can come in and out of us. It is an exchange of energy. By tasting the information with our sensitive bodies, we are able to work in a constant flow of giving and receiving:

Take Ownership, Hold Space and Let Go

The more you give yourself to the space, the more it will feed you with what you deserve.

Inside the process of riding the groove, we meet pleasure, we understand passion from the depths of our pain, and discover what it means to set ourselves free.

Thank you for your energy.

Your livestreams have been so important to me during this time. I just finished with you today and am so moved. I'm finding so much freedom, release and hope. I just LOVE what you do and it's such a gift. I'm a dancer too and this has been such an experience in letting go, rediscovering myself, finding new connection with my body and my surroundings. THANK YOU! I join you at least a few times a week from New York City! <3

ABOUT ALVIN COLLANTES:

Alvin Collantes is a Filipino-Canadian dance artist, certified Gaga teacher and photographer. He completed the Gaga Teacher’s Training Course in 2018 under the artistic direction of Bosmat Nossan with the generous support from the Ontario Arts Council’s Skills & Careers Development Grant for Artists of Colour and Canada Council for the Arts’ Career Development Grant. During the course, he participated in Gaga intensives and served as a guest at Batsheva Dance Company under the artistic mentorship of Ohad Naharin. He has been teaching Gaga to dancers & non-dancers around the globe including The Philippines, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Thailand and Canada. Alvin is currently collaborating with Addo Platform in building Gaga communities across Canada. In addition to teaching Gaga, Alvin is a Kambo practitioner, meditation junkie and an animal in the dancefloor. He is an active contributor to the queer rave techno culture scene in Berlin and is advocate for safe spaces to promote the value of celebrating freedom of expression, creativity and sensuality within oneself.

In this time of crisis, Alvin took the moment to share his story online through “Dose of Pleasure: Movement Meditation Sessions.” These sessions is a mixture of his healing modalities including gaga, meditation, shamanism, sound healing and rave culture. He believes in the power of groove, rather than escaping the body, we give into the process of experiencing honest pleasure through the depths of understanding what pains us. As we begin to recognize these blockages in the system, we cancel them by learning the beauty of what it means to let go into the vibration of the groove inside the music and within our passionate bodies.
