NAFTALI is a hypnotherapist, space holder, multi-instrumentalist and DJ whose passion for creating communal states of connection bridges the worlds of music, movement and healing. In addition to hosting Conscious Dance events, Sacred Sound Journeys, and Tribal Gatherings, Naftali offers Grief Ceremonies and workshops in Compassionate Communication. He is the founder of 'MediTANZion: Dance Journey' - a weekly community gathering in Berlin that has been running regularly for the past 9 years. After abandoning a career in Theology in his hometown of Jerusalem, Naftali moved to the U.S. and attended Columbia University, where he gained degrees in Philosophy and Comparative Literature. While living in New York, he went on to study Method Acting as well as Movement and Somatic practices. Inspired by the deep potential for change and healing that he experienced there, Naftali continued to explore alternative modalities for increasing awareness and psycho-spiritual insight --including Core Shamanism, Tibetan Buddhism, Hypnotherapy, Non-Violent Communication, Generative Coaching and Grief Work. He is passionate about opening safe and sacred spaces in which people can reconnect with their bodies, emotions and authentic presence.
