About Dr. Eline Kieft PhD
Eline has danced since she was seven years old. She trained to become a professional dancer, but
realised she wanted to dance with people instead of performing on stage. She studied
extensively with the School of Movement Medicine, and qualified as a Lee Holden Qi Gong
instructor. Movement is her primary alchemy and healing tool.
With a background in dance, anthropology and shamanic practice and qi gong, Eline explores the transformative power of movement and nature-based spirituality from many angles.
Eline studied cultural and medical anthropology and got her PhD in Dance from the
University of Roehampton in 2013, researching the effects of improvised dance on
empowerment and personal growth. She became a Research Fellow at the Centre for Dance
Research in Coventry, where she led an international project to develop a Somatics Toolkit
for social science researchers.
Her book Dancing in the Muddy Temple outlines a unique
curriculum of embodied empowerment and soulful
change.
Eline creates contemporary spaces to reconnect with
the natural and archetypal worlds, and is widely
recognised as a heart-led facilitator. She offers live and
online events, mentoring programmes and group
courses, as well as her online Qi Studio Membership.
