Inner body:
Alchemy Through Movement and Sound
Our bodies are a direct gateway to Spirit; as we listen closely, we discover that within our very being are the answers we have been looking for, the intimacy we have been seeking and the transformative power we have been sourcing externally.
InnerBody is a culmination of somatic, spiritual and vocal practices to transform your life and support you in remembering who you are. Through movement, sound and loving awareness we can transmute pain into compassion, fear into power, stagnation into pleasure and this very moment into the realization of our freedom.
The intention of this work is to provide you with a tool kit to meet the waves of life. The powerful thing about these tools is that once you become familiar with them, you carry them within you everywhere you go. They are sourced from own discovery and rooted in our own body’s wisdom!
Group Containers
One of my favorite things to do on this Earth is facilitate spaces for discovery and transformation. I weave together years of training in various somatic modalities, spiritual inquiry, yogic studies and my experience as a performing musician to create a container for personal expansion, healing, creative expression and ultimately, delicious embodiment. One of things I love most about group containers is that we all catalyze each other; one person’s opening inspires the next as our energies weave together and lift each other higher.
Testimonials
"Elisa has an incredible ability to create a safe container in which a group of relative strangers feels comfortable expressing themselves and the results are profoundly magical... allowed me to transcend the confines of my mind in a way that no other meditation, yoga class, or activity of any sort has facilitated. I left overflowing with gratitude... Elisa sets the stage for the magic to unfold... her workshop was life-changing and I don't say that lightly." - Caitlin Ludlow
"This is my favorite workshop at Yoga Soup. I have never missed one! Elisa's skill at creating a safe and experimental container amazes me every time. It is always unique and beautiful. I find within myself a space that is so playful, inspired, and at ease.
- Skyler Levenson
“The Embodiment Alchemy Workshops offer a beautiful invitation to honor and experience authentic, instinctual movements of the voice and the body within a safe and supportive environment. Expect to find in these workshops a delightful intermingling of playfulness, relaxation, sensuality, and vibrance. The atmosphere of co-creation and compassionate witnessing is palpable, as the voices of participants blend organically and rise and fall like tides, and the room becomes a cocoon of self-affirmation and the awakening of bodies and voices as vessels of wisdom, clarity, and healing. Any level of experience with movement and music, as well as any level of participation is welcome and deeply supported in this joyful space. It is really an opportunity to experience to whatever degree you wish the beautiful range of sensations, emotions, thoughts, and energetic patterns moving the body and the voice can conjure - hence the alchemy!”
- Emily Lord-Kambitsch
My session with Elisa was a deep awakening of the womb and the heart, a powerful loving guide to the shadows and blocks that were ready to dissolve and be released. I am grateful for the safety and unconditional love I felt in this space with her, allowing me to dive into some scary parts of my personal expression, desires. This session invited in new narratives, and more LOVE & healing to enter where trauma had made a home. I feel more like the TRUE self, the infinite self as a result of working with Elisa in this process. The energy work is transformative, a steady light calling me back home to myself and my personal power. I look forward to my next Embodiment Alchemy session with Elisa as a furthered awakening of my HEART. Thank you for allowing me to peel back the layers in a safe container...so powerful, I am so grateful for you and this beautiful work, woman. Thank you for the depth of your heart and being.

“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: "When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?”
