May we dance in reverence for each other’s boundaries, always seeking clear permission before engaging in physical connection, and maintaining awareness of the sacred space we share with our fellow dancers.
If at any point you find yourself in need of support or comfort, know that you are not alone. Our Movement Church community is here to assist and guide you. Simply reach out to one of us, and we will do our utmost to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your journey.

Jämi is a visionary producer with an ear for the exotic.He believes that Music, Breath and Movement are the keys to unlocking human potential and returning to the natural frequency of True Love. Jämi has dedicated his life work to the expansion of consciousness.Movement + Love = FreedomA true musicologist, Jämi sources and rides the emergent wave of sonic innovation. His mixes span all genres and tempos of dance music serving up an alchemical elixir of multi-dimensional sound wizardry. Jämi elegantly plays live percussion during his set which uniquely activates the shamanic potential of the dance floor. His beats are a ceremonial carnival of epic proportion. His artistry is truly unique – he is gifted and clearly called to hold some very new and transformational frequencies.
“Jämi delivers a sound that is difficult to describe. It is clear that his life purpose is to inspire greatness in others.”~ Stan Grof
