Dear colleagues,
I’d like to invite you to the virtual launch of my book: Dancing in the Muddy Temple, a Moving Spirituality of Land and Body, which has just been published by Roman & Littlefield, weaving together dance, anthropology, shamanism and nature.
The launch event happens online, on 21 June at 19-20.30 CEST and is free to attend. I’ve got some amazing speakers lined up, including Celeste Snowber, Nic Salazar, Geoffrey Samuel and Jerome Lewis, so it’s going to be a deep dive into embodied spirituality. You can sign up here: https://www.elinekieft.com/dancing-in-the-muddy-temple-book-launch.
I’m also organising a 30-Day Dare to Dance in Nature Every Day, which is a free inspiration to reconnect with the natural world. That’s also starting on 21 June, but you can join via this link any time after as well: https://www.elinekieft.com/30-day-dare.
Have a ‘cool’ transition into summer!
Heartfelt wishes,
Eline

Dancing in the Muddy Temple traces ingredients for an embodied spirituality based in movement and embedded in the land.
Drawing from nature immersion, dance, anthropology, and shamanism, Dr. Eline Kieft explores improvised movement as a pathway to insight, healing, transformation, and direct interaction with source.
This inspiring book offers an intricate road map to explore and strengthen the interwovenness of various layers of self, surroundings and the sacred.
Kieft seamlessly moves between her personal, professional, and academic background, creating an unusual scholarship in which bodily and autobiographical narrative are neatly interwoven with interdisciplinary literature.
The work crosses boundaries between cognition and intuition; matter and spirit. Its uniqueness lies in a radical integration of theory and practice, which brings an aliveness to the material that stirs an inquisitive desire to move. Its language inspires confidence and creates a safe space for personal inquiry into a rich and complex territory.
This book provides a much-needed medicine for scholars and seekers, dreamers and dancers, philosophers, and artists, at a time when the earth and its human and other-than-human-people are hurting. It skilfully distills tools for a practical spirituality of the everyday that explores what it means to be an embodied human on this planet.
