Men Gatherings · Lisbon
Feel less stuck in your head.
Come back to your body.
An intimate 2-hour, in-person space for men to think less, feel more, and reconnect with their inner world through dance and movement.
What this space is
A guided, sur-mesure healing somatic dance & movement session for men who:
- Spend a lot of time in their head and want to feel more grounded
- Want a deeper connection to their body, emotions, and intuition
- Are interested in personal growth that includes pleasure, music, and joy
- Want more authentic, relaxed connections with themselves, with other men, and with women
- Struggle to relate to classic talk therapy
- Want to feel connected to themselves and others, beyond the “one-shot high of plant medicine”
- Are into self-growth but can’t find a space that really fits them
No dance experience needed. You just need a body and some curiosity!
Each session creates a real shift
“This space is unique. I have never danced like this before!
“It’s the first time I feel I’ve found a space for my personal growth.
“I’ve done a lot of inner work… but this felt different. More real. More alive.
“My energy completely shifted in one session.
“My mind became empty. I just knew in such a deep way.
“I could finally rest. The pain I’d had in my shoulders for weeks disappeared.
“It’s hard to explain… But I left feeling more myself than I have in a long time.
“I know this is what I need and that I want to explore more of that.
How a session flows
Two hours. Three steps.
Arrival & quick check-in
10–20 min
The setting is cozy so that as soon as you arrive, you feel welcomed, held, and at home. We land together with a short sharing round.
Guided movement & dance
60–70 min
The core of the session. Somatic movement to feel your body, breath, and sensations. Music-driven dance to release tension and awaken joy and playfulness — without judgment or performance.
Authentic sharing circle
20–30 min
We close with a space for honest words. Sharing is always invited, never forced — a practice that anchors the sensations and the breakthroughs.
What you gain
The shifts men take home
More presence in your body instead of living only in your head
Clearer access to your emotions, feeling them without being overwhelmed
More ease in expressing yourself and showing vulnerability
A deeper sense of your own inner feminine and sensitivity, which naturally helps you better understand women and build more genuine connections with them
Relief and nourishment from being with other men in a space that is honest, kind, and non-competitive
A taste of personal development that feels ALIVE: movement, music, pleasure, and depth together
Why me?
I am Emmanuelle Em
“I’m a grounded, deeply authentic woman of integrity who has lived everything I teach.”
I’m 56. I am a somatic dance therapist and an artist. I dance, I do stand-up, and I created UNSHAMABLE, a transformative performance about truth, body and freedom.
I started in the “real world” of business and an MBA, then chose to become a dancer and choreographer — my profession for 30 years. I created and directed a dance school (700 students) and my own dance company.
I’ve been in a 30-year relationship and I’m a mother of three grown children. I’ve explored the body in depth: dance, trauma-informed coaching, fascia and nervous system work, Pilates. I am trained in collective spaces facilitation and relational dynamics.
I spent 7 years in Jungian psychoanalysis and still didn’t receive practical tools to feel my body and regulate my emotions. I never fully fit into either classic psychotherapy or the “spiritual” world.
So I created this space: a real, grounded, embodied space where men can feel themselves deeply, without leaving real life behind.
