Miriam Peretz

Miriam Peretz weaves movement and ritual together to create safe, communal spaces for healing and empowered embodiment. She is a life-long dancer and movement educator who has immersed herself in the study of somatic healing and sacred dance forms from around the world, focusing on Central Asian dance, and the mystical practices of Sufi whirling. Miriam sees dance as a uniquely powerful means of expressing deep emotion and spiritual yearning, and therefore the perfect embodiment of prayer.

Miriam is the creator of Nava Dance & Nava Movement both modalities for holistic dance practice integrating dance, somatic inquiry, movement ritual, and breath awareness.

Miriam offers workshops and retreats worldwide and is the founder of the Nava Dance Collective, an international community of diverse dancers devoted to creating meaningful projects in community through collaborative sisterhood.
