INCARNATE
CODEX
Incarnate – Sacred space to Incarnate Heart, Soul, Spirit and Body/Flesh.
INCARNATE is a living encounter — a space where each Being can feel, express, transform and incarnate what is yet to be born.
Sometimes there are parts of us that were not born yet, that were left behind as they were not yet ready to materialize on this planet. Fully taking a complete human shape takes time and a huge amount of energy.
Incarnate is a space to lovingly and compassionately welcome what is yet to arrive in the bodies. What is rightfully ours and which we may not have had access to yet.
It is a regular space created to honor our divine presence and allow expression through the regular practice of movement and dance with the intention of revealing more of our Beings.
Incarnate is the physical space where you are welcome and embraced by other open hearts.
Incarnate is not affiliated with any public or private organization, political movement, ideology or religion; we take no position on outside issues.
Incarnate’s primary purpose is to open weekly Sacred Spaces where any person that fully agrees with the guidelines of this Codex can be welcomed, share and dance together in a non-alcoholic and drugs-free environment while organically becoming part of Incarnate’s family, when that is the deepest heart’s wish.
It is a sacred space of formless movement without choreography, of free spontaneous dance styles, supported by music and guided by unplanned impulses of the ones who hold the sacred space.
Bodies are invited to move according to their intuition. It is a form of dynamic meditation where bodies travel through movement in time and space.
In this Sacred Space there is music, movement, silence, care, listening, sharing and authenticity.
We start in a circle, we dance what we feel, and we close in Human gathering.
To the ones who want a safe space.
To the ones that want to transform their pain in creation.
To that one that wishes to Incarnate.
You can join this Tribe.
Meetings held weekly or exceptionally 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. No staring, gazing and specially no flirting, unless Incarnate space consciously proposes it as an exercise and with a previously announced purpose. This is one of the Incarnate proposals so that the participants are more aware of the use of their sexual energy.
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 morning sessions are at 10am and to the afternoon sessions are at 3pm Portugal time. You might not enter after that time, as the door closes and probably no one will listen that you might be 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 participating in Incarnate are:
a. Unique participation during one month - 17,50€
b. Monthly participation from 3x to 5x times a month - 50€.
c. Se estás numa condição financeira de baixo rendimento, seja por seres estudante ou por estares em circunstâncias especiais, o Incarnate também é para ti! Dirige-te ao Spaceholder do Incarnate e partilha as tuas vulnerabilidades sobre dinheiro nesse instante. Quando previamente negociado acerca de outras possíveis formas de troca de energia, tod@s provavelmente poderão juntar-se ao Incarnate e dançar.
III. Incarnate’s regularity is mostly once a week. At its first stage until the end of 2025, it will happen on the first and third Tuesdays of the month from 15h-17h30 and then on the weeks after on Thursdays from 10-12h30.
IV. O Spaceholder do Incarnate propõe-te trazeres roupas confortáveis com que possas transpirar e moveres-te livremente quer no chão como a voar por toda a sala. Há vestiários onde te podes vestir previamente ao início e depois retornares às tuas roupas diárias no final de cada encontro Incarnate.
V. Uma garrafa de água que possas voltar a encher é outra proposta forte para este espaço. Se também quiseres trazer uma toalha para te secares pode funcionar para ti. Esta tua garrafa é o único recipiente de líquidos ou alimentos permitidos no espaço de dança. Copos, canecas, talheres, pratos, taças, tigelas ou qualquer outro tipo de loiça NÃO são permitidos dentro do espaço de Dança.
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.
