INCARNATE
CODEX
Incarnate – Sacred space to Incarnate Heart, Soul, Spirit and Body/Flesh.
INCARNATE is about rediscovering spontaneous and authentic movement, it's about individual and group evolution, it's about music and sound, it's about dance, it's about intention and purpose, and it's about putting into practice what didn't yet exist.
It is for human beings, both women and men, from children to Elders.
Bring your Family along. You are all Welcome!
It is a living encounter — a group space where each Being can individually feel, express, transform what they are, and move forward into what is yet to be embodied within themselves.
It is a sacred space of initiatory movement without shapes or choreography, a portal of free, spontaneous, and dance-like style, ensured by the invitation of music, bodies, and intuition.
Incarnate is presencial because the physical body does not integrally cross online.
It's for those who feel they've reached a point where remaining disconnected from their bodies is no longer an option.
For the ones who understood... and there's still emptyness, voidness or tension inside.
In Incarnate there is presence, emotional expression, movement and truth.
There is no pressure to share,
There are no roles to fulfil,
Each person crosses at its own rythm.
It is supported, barefoot firmly on the ground.
You do not cross alone, we go together,
To the ones who want a safe space,
To the one that is seeking for pleasure,
To the ones that want to transform pain in creation,
To the one that wishes to Incarnate more of yourself.
Meetings held fortnightly.
Everybody is welcome, no prior experience needed.
Taking care of your own Body is a self-responsible learning practice and only you can know your own health and fitness conditions. Make sure that your movement in Incarnate dance is a pleasant and healthy practice for yourself, listening to your breathing, your heart and your body.
You are invited to join Incarnate IF you decide to fully agree with these Guidelines:
I. Incarnate’s Sacredness starts at the Main Gate of the Venue, meaning that this space is for you WHEN:
a. You are willing to enter this space, walk and dance barefoot or with anti-skid socks or soft-sole indoor shoes (no outdoor shoes/sneakers/trainers allowed). This choice is meant to connect you to grounding and root you back to Gaya.
b. When in the initial circle, each speaker speaks from itself and starts the sharing with “I”. nobody uses “we”, “them”, “they” or other generalizations as “people”.
It is about being responsible about your own words when you speak.
c. When the Incarnate family is reunited in circle, one person speaks at a time. It is not to have simultaneous conversations, interrupt, to speak over someone, to intervene, influence or even to comment on each other sharing. Speak from within about what is in you in that moment.
d. When in the starting circle, do not pronounce your judgments, give advices, make speeches or express interpretations.
e. There is no talking after the music starts and until the end of the whole sacred dancing space, refraining from using words or loud sounds. Stay in your body, not in produced words or sounds from your mind.
f. Drop your mind activity and thoughts by letting them come down to your feet. Surrender to the music and movement, allow yourself to let go of your usual communication methods.
g. You are ready to honour your body and other people’s bodies, expressing yourself authentically, taking a stand on your boundaries, asking for permission and allowance to touch someone before touching (sometimes in full silence). It is not ok to exist any kind of contact without consent.
h. One of Incarnate's proposals for you is to be more aware of the use of your own sexual energy, so that you observe whether you stare, whether you try to use seduction or flirting to connect with other people in the space.
i. Knowing that a NO is a full complete sentence with no need for any kind of further explanation. The body also says NO. Read the room, the space, the person, the body language, be present, be aware!
j. Incarnate invites you to take the answers from the interactions and from the space as feedback and evolve with it as a Human Being.
k. You are willing to leave the space at least in the same conditions or even better than you found it in any of its services, either the dancing room, the WC, the kitchen pantry, the changing rooms and the reception areas.
l. You are willing to dance free and noticing your inner judgemental thinking. As it is a huge challenge, even scary to dance yourself authentically on the Dance floor, it might take some years of your life to get there. This is what Incarnate is also about.
m. The times for arriving to the sessions are from 6:45pm on, Portugal time. You might not enter after 7:15pm, as the door closes and probably no one will listen that you are ringing the bell. Calling and sending private messages to the group might not work because phones are not allowed once inside the dancing space. This preserves the energy of the space from the beginning to the end of the Incarnate Dance.
n. Please do not leave Incarnate Dance or the space before the dance completely ends. Give yourself another go until you decide to depart. Trust the process and let it fully integrate inside of you; you might even probably find a pattern in you about leaving things behind while it is still happening or due to the sensation of intensity in you. You can stay and find out more about yourself.
o. If you did not create enough free space to stay until the end because you have another scheduled commitment, ask yourself what is really going on about overlapping time or indecision patterns in yourself.
p. Be mindful about leaving your belongings at the reception area close to the Venue’s entrance door along with your shoes, including your smartphones and smartwatches, making sure they are in silence and preferably also in airplane mode. If you have any special need regarding the use of your mobile phone, contact the Spaceholder about it.
q. No cameras of any kind are allowed in the space beyond the reception area. It might happen that only and if on scheduled dates and times and with pre-notice regarding all the participants of that session could recordings or pictures happen for specific purposes that are to be announced and asked for permission in the starting circle.
r. Your Presence, your giant heart, your dancing soul, your connection to the greater spirit have chosen to be in this space and open for the unknown.
s. If you had any kind of unprescribed drugs and medicine, either chemical or natural or alcohol, do not join the dance session before addressing the Spaceholder, speak it out and connect about your intake so that you can be authentic and welcomed where and how you really are.
II. The prices for Incarnate are:
a. Participacion: €18 minimum to €25 maximum; this is a voluntary sliding scale..
b. If you are in a low-income financial situation, Incarnate is also for you. Contact the Incarnate Spaceholder.
III. Incarnate's schedule is fortnightly.

IV. Incarnate’s Spaceholder proposes you to bring large comfortable clothing where you can sweat and fully move either on the floor or dancing throughout the room. There are changing rooms where you can previously dress at the beginning and back to your daily outdoor clothes at the end of Incarnate.
V. A water bottle that you can refill is another strong proposal for this space. If you want to bring a towel to dry off with also could work for you. This bottle is the only allowed liquid or food recipient into the dancing space. NO cups, no mugs, no cutlery, no plates, no dishes are allowed inside the dancing space.
VI. Also food, drinks besides water or any kind of snack are allowed inside of the dancing space with the purpose of keeping it fully safe and clean to walk and move barefoot. If you have the need of something else, address your Spaceholder before temporarily leaving the dancing space.
