| #46 - From Psychosis to Purpose. The Alchemy of Anger, Hip Hop & Healing with Amenti. | 09 May 2025 | 01:40:06 | |
Amenti MoveMeant is a prolific community-based, psyche-somatic movement school and method founded by Gil ‘The Grid’ Gomes Leal. Rooted in ancient Kemetic wisdom and shaped by Gil’s background as a professional hip-hop dancer, Amenti is a transformative body-mind-spirit practice that explores what it means to be fully human through movement, psychology, shamanism, and symbolism. They hail from Rotterdam in the Netherlands and are currently on a global tour, sharing their unique workshops & performances that blend dance, Jungian psychology, somatic practices, and communal ritual work. Ever since witnessing their dance transmissions on stage at Boom Festival in Portugal back in 2023, I knew their work would change the world. For me, Amenti stands for so much more than the prolific dance troupe and school they are. They’re a living example of what can happen when you choose to look at the cards you’ve been dealt in life, the dark and the light, and choose to play them in a way that takes responsibility for your highest aspirations and service to the world. For me, Amenti stands for what is possible when you trust yourself, your tribe and spirit through life’s biggest trials and tribulations, and turn it into something beautiful. In this conversation I’m graced with the presence of Gil, the founder, as well as Tamara, a lead facilitator who’s been there from Amenti’s origins. Enjoy folks, this one’s an absolute banger.
