What is the DISSOLVE method?

This is a training and facilitation modality for those who wish to hold space for dynamic group embodiment practices. It is being taught/transmitted in this format for the first time by seasoned movement facilitators; Tara Li and Kaela Atleework.

The DISSOLVE method teaches how to use free-form movement and relational interaction on the dance floor as pathways to envokinging deep inner transformation.

Denpasar Airport (DPS) is the closest place to fly into. We recommend getting a taxi from the airport to your lodging and renting a scooter for the duration of your stay, as this is the primary form of transportation around Ubud.

No, the training does not offer lodging on site.

We recommend arriving to Ubud 3 days before the training starts, so you can attend a pre-training DISSOLVE Erso event. It’s also recommended to plan at least a few days after the retreat to spend time with the amazing people you will have met in the training.

Yes, and: this depends on the level of skill you demonstrate during the training. At some point in time, you will be all ready, but it may not be immediately after the training for some.

The Venue will be located close to Cantika Zest Bali. We recommend using Airbnb, Booking.com, or local Ubud FB and telegram groups to find temporary sublets and short-term villas in the area.

For payment/venue/lodging questions, please first apply using the link shared many times above (as the application form may answers some of your questions)

It’s great if you have experience in free-form movement events such as ecstatic dance, contact improv, 5 rythms – but it’s not required. As long as you come with a natural genuine curiosity, and are able to move your body alone and in connection with others, you will be able to learn and apply the DISSOLVE method.

Tara Li

Tara Li is a facilitator of intimacy-based social experiences that use human interaction, movement and energetics for self transformation and the development of a deeper sense of connection. She works with the spontaneous group energies —always created in the present moment— to direct and shift the action, making each experience unique and incomparable. Tara has been holding weekly dances in Ubud since 2015 and her DISSOLVE Eros and DISSOLVE Play events are to this day some of the most iconic and well-attended embodiment events on the island. Tara uses movement, contact and energetics to lead people on a playful and fun journey towards a deeper connection within.

Kaela Atleework

Kaela is an experience designer, a human connection researcher, and above all – an embodied human. In the last decade, she has spoken to audiences in over 17 countries, and has a deep passion for researching ways to “together better.” Kaela facilitates fulltime professionally and has a background in community building, social psychology, and somatic relating. Kaela’s teachings highlight intersubjective practices that range all the way from somatic (ie: contact improvisation) to synergy practices (focused on intimacy and/or group cohesion dynamics). She is deeply interested in the overlap of social structures and social dance and how each is impacted by the other, and her workshops are often described as “intimate, playful, and highly interactive.

Where does The Training take place?

You will be joining us in a private Movement Studio in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. Tucked away in the jungle at the heart of Bali, Ubud is a global sanctuary for artists, seekers, and those who choose to dance with life. The reason we chose Ubud, Bali for this training is because of the rich spiritual history and vibrant embodiment community you will find here. From rice terraces to jungle river valleys, every part of Ubud invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and return to what’s real. Here, movement becomes prayer, and presence becomes a way of life.
