In the last years owed to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pi with a small team has run multiple rounds of online courses by request of those wishing to facilitate and hold trainings of their own. We’ve conducted 2-month, 3-month and 6-month processes under the banner of online Energy Schools and Inner Intensives. These courses have been important in discovering the power of technological ways of harnessing video, audio, print and energetic material in ways that are not always possible in live short-term trainings. We were able to cover energetic material in ways that are not always possible in live, short-term environments.

As the pandemic restrictions eased, we have found ways to condense the online material to introductory levels in anything between two to five-day events held in Europe and Asia as well as three-week to two month-long trainings in our Maia Earth Village in Palawan, Philippines.
A Long Intensive
As interest in our work grows, it becomes imperative that we find the amount of space and time to cover comprehensive ground that elaborates on the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of what is called innerdance (and to others, Kundalini) practice.
This December 2023, we launch a 9-month (which is stretched out over a year) Inner Intensive course that finally commits to a platform that provides trainors and facilitators a full curriculum to unravel an understanding of innerdance from its multiple essential fields of study.

This December 2023, we launch a 9-month (which is stretched out over a year) Inner Intensive course that finally commits to a platform that provides trainors and facilitators a full curriculum to unravel an understanding of innerdance from its multiple essential fields of study.
This year, we are fully advancing our conversations with people practicing within schooling, medical, governmental environments. It becomes imperative that a comprehensive study process is made available to those wishing access to the overwhelming amount of old and new insights available within the innerdance training journey.
We receive many requests from interested parties asking if it is possible to arrive at an understanding of the innerdance (and receive certification) in a matter of a few days. Our answer is, yes, it is possible to arrive at an experience of energy and transformation in some days. As to receiving a comprehensive capacity to facilitate and train others, the process of growth that takes place within the process takes a much longer time.
Collaborations and Expectations
The 9-month Intensive is co-facilitated by Pi Villaraza and a team of global facilitators focused in specific local regions in Europe, the US, Africa, South America, Asia and the Middle East. All the facilitators have strong backgrounds in study and space holding.
The online meetings will be carefully timed to happen globally, locally and regionally across a sea of ideas and bodies studying within shared inquiries in focused yet open discourse. Expect to meet some interesting practitioners from around the planet studying with you.
By the end of the year, you will expect to:
- have confidence in handling training material.
- speak from a holistic and coherent set of interrelated frameworks that fosters multiple contexts to a wide array of audiences.
- develop an intuitive understanding of how to build musical and vibratory structures using mobile apps, DAWs, VSTs, hardware synths and grooveboxes either in live or studio scenarios.
- organize relevant sets of information that will come useful through long practice
- conduct collaborative work with institutions (schools, hospitals, companies, government, addiction centres, jails).

Studio
Every month, we will take up practical tools concerning music creation, touch and body maps, verbal space holding and many other techniques directly correlated with the innerdance journey. All theoretical study processes lead to hands-on practice methodologies. |

The Inner Intensive is conducted in and from Maia Earth Village in Palawan, Philippines where there is ample space to expound upon the expansive elements in the innerdance practice.
For the last 17 years, the innerdance journey that first unfolded on these islands, holds firm in its tropical and pristine roots, where sacred simplicity abides. Welcome to our humble Home. |
|
9 Months
Signifying the 9-months of pregnancy it takes to birth life, we are committed to providing a whole year of study - 3 month cycles with one month break in between each cycle. Many attendees of past processes describe the innerdance process as a puzzle where many pieces start to fit together. In this online intensive, each puzzle is seen to be another piece of a much larger puzzle. |
|
For those intent on slowly, holistically and carefully sitting with the materials in innerdance, these 3 cycles will cover the complex convergences in the domains of neurology, linguistics, anthropology, philosophy, psychology, the medical sciences and information systems.
Who is the 9-month Inner Intensive for?
What will the course be like?
The website, thematic videos, PDF primers and playlists will be reserved exclusively for the use of registered participants within the coursework. In the spirit of innerdance’s open-source policy, the Zoom meetings will be published publicly.
- Those already conducting ongoing trainings or intent on creating one (this is compulsary)
- Facilitators intent on Holistic Therapy
- Medical, Psychological practitioners
- Educators
What will the course be like?
- Every week, participants will receive:
- A PDF primer with study material and wiki linkages to a new website.
- 1 or 2 videos integrating the PDF and website material
- A zoom call will be held once a week (except for week 3), featuring a formal lecture that further elaborates on the week’s themes. The meeting will also give participants a chance to clarify questions, ideas and requests.
- Pi will lead two global zoom calls per month. There will be ongoing zoom calls held by experienced trainors across many regions. Beyond the special zoom calls held by your region's main coordinator in the local language, you can also opt to join any of the other classrooms to your heart's content.
- Training videos will be sent on music creation, tool use, additional theoretical content, etc.
- A new playlist will be sent founded on the week’s themes.
- Participants are encouraged to create their own materials they would wish to share that integrate their learnings, experiences within the practice and study processes.

In-School Programs
In Maia, we are currently designing curricular material for hundreds of students and their teachers, where innerdance is now a huge aspect of life and learning. The Inner Intensive serves as a practical meditation on how energy processes can be brought into the education system. |
|
|
Vibration-as-Medicine
In various places in the world, innerdance is a training modality for practitioners in the medical, psychiatric and therapeutic fields. Doctors, psychologists and healers in general will receive a comprehensive backdrop in how innerdance provides possible meeting points between the energy process and the medical scientific fields. |
|
Organizations
In addiction clinics, prisons, companies and eco-community, innerdance is an ever-growing conversation on how rehabilitation and insight might emerge from collective journey spaces. Learning how the energy process might find application in places that crave for depth, flow and deep listening. |
|
Application Process:
Can I participate?
The innerdance is a multi-modal approach to life. It does not matter what you call your work, what matters is you are on your journey of discovery and that you are passionate about your service to the earth and to others.
How much time do I need for this?
Every month, the Intensive will have four (sometimes more) calls lasting an average of three hours each. Schedules for these calls are determined through voting. Every week, there will be ongoing chats, Q&A’s and interactive forums on a WhatsApp community. You can arrange your time to be able to commit to the calls, and for those who are unable to join, the calls will be recorded and shared in a private channel. We will also provide one-on-one exchange for your personal learning requirements.
Who is facilitating the process?
Every month, there will be two main global calls facilitated by Pi Villaraza. Local and Regional Calls will also be facilitated by highly experienced trainors and collaborators from Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. The list of global collaborators will be published on this webpage soon.
When can I join and how much does the course cost?
Applications will be studied based on intentions, willingness to sit with the study material, availability. The course is 700 euros per 3-month cycle. The small costs covering the work benefit all of our ongoing projects concerning schools, jails, trauma victims , health centres and addiction programs across the world.
