Amenti MoveMeant
Trust is a Choice & Transforming Anger
Amenti is a community-based organization focused on fostering self-awareness through movement, dance, and knowledge. The organization strives to embody the spirit rather than merely spiritualizing the body. The foundation of its philosophy is the Movemeant method, which enables greater awareness of subconscious patterns in both body and mind.
Through its approach to psychosomatic medicine and a young, urban holistic perspective on life, Amenti aims to connect with others, bring more harmony to societies, and open up conversations about mental health and the connection between body and mind. Learning opportunities are available through workshops, courses, intensives, retreats, and events.
The Amenti Movement’s Method, created by Gil ‘the Gridi’ Gomes Leal, is a transformative method that spreads awareness about the body-mind connection and provides tools for enhancing self-expression and awareness. The method employs layers to create a structured framework, with each layer representing an area of life within the human experience and linking to a specific movement method and corresponding element.
About
Gil Gomes Leal, founder and teacher of Amenti MoveMeant, developed a psyche somatic movement practice that lies at the organization’s core. He built this organization with his team after making a name for himself as an internationally well-known dancer. Gil won prizes for his dance skills and unique signature, which he translates into theater productions and other shows. Gil won the world championships for experimental dance during Juste Debout. Besides these significant accomplishments, he finds that helping people gain more awareness through the body is at the core of his mission.
