with Gemma Mallol
Trauma informed Eco Somatic CPD Trainings in the UK
Contemplative Movement Arts Intensives in Ibiza
Still Flowing is a Trauma informed Eco Somatic, Contemplative, Therapeutic Approach to Yoga, Movement, Arts and Dance. I offer a variety of intensives, trainings, and retreats that delve into the transformative potential of the moving, sensate body through diverse perspectives. Each program serves as a journey of transformation and creative expression. Rooted in a somatic and contemplative approach, this work supports nervous system regulation and aims to foster ease, pleasure, resilience, fluidity, creativity, capacity and balance. By cultivating an embodied reciprocity with the natural world, empathy and care are nurtured guiding us toward a deeper sense of interconnectedness within ourselves and fostering relationships, communities and networks through both human and non-human realms.
Gemma Mallol is Dance and Movement Researcher, currently undertaking a Research Master’s in Dance (Somatic and Butoh Dance focus) at Plymouth University. She is a teacher trainer and has been teaching Yoga, Mindfulness and Somatics in varying contexts for a period of 23 years. She is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (Body Orientated Trauma Therapist) and uses her knowledge of the nervous system and trauma informed practice to create inclusive, safe spaces where participants can explore themselves authentically through embodiment, dance and movement as the ground for further creative processes to be unlocked.

This Elemental Body Somatic CPD is a multi-faceted CPD of embodied practices that foreground the connection to and the expression of the inner body in movement and its relation to nature and the elements.
This CPD is an empirically based somatic, therapeutic approach to movement that utilises a creative and expressive approach informed by nature to engage the body, mind, and spirit in order to transform stress and suffering and trauma.
The CPD develops the moving, sensate body as a regenerative field of contemplation, emotional intelligence and creative process that can connect us to empathy, compassion and inter-connectedness. A recognisable safe foundation of yoga and meditative practice allow for a more experimental exploration of the body in movement where its inner felt landscape can be expressed and flower into its own authentic dance and where its relationship to the elements provides a deepening well of resource, support and creativity.
‘In/Visible Dimensions’, Ibiza Intensive 2026

- Cost: £395 / £495 (sliding scale)

This intensive aims to introduce, unpack and explore some of the methodology of my Dance Master’s research, expanding upon my existing work in the fields of yoga, somatics and contemplative movement with nature into the realm of Butoh dance as we enter the realms of in/visibility as a lens through which to explore movement and how this becomes performative. Doors will be opened to practices that involve witnessing, paying attention to the group in movement and how to work with movement composition.
Within this trajectory, I would like to share and articulate an introduction to the intersections of Butoh Dance and Somatics, where they converge and diverge within their movement principles, techniques, aesthetics and philosophies. The practices will take place outside with nature, and inside a movement space, they will be exploratory, contemplative, creative and playful with the aim of cultivating spaces of embodied creativity and expression.
