In a wild and unspoilt natural setting, this Isness Dance® (Danse de l'Être®) immersion with Fabienne Courmont is an initiatory journey to unite your inner fire and your dragon of light — strength, desire, creative power — with your primordial waters — sensitivity, intuition, memory of life.
In the alchemy of the heart, these two forces unite in an inner marriage between what burns within you and what flows within you. Together, they become breath, movement, living prayer, and open the way for the embodiment of your deepest Being in your body-temple.
✨A journey, not a course
This immersion is a rite of passage, a descent into the sacred matter of your body, a reminder of your original nature, vibrant and connected to the elements. A timeless space to shed old skins and allow a truer, freer, more embodied presence to emerge.
✨A natural sanctuary for transformation
In the heart of the powerful lands of the Cathar country of Aude, Mont Bugarach welcomes us like an open-air temple. A mythical mountain, charged with a rare telluric energy, it supports inner passages, profound liberations and the rebirth of the soul.
Here, nature becomes a partner in the process: rocks, winds, springs, rivers... Everything conspires to bring you back to the essential.

✨Who is this immersion for?
This experience is for those who feel the call to return to the body as a spiritual path, to a time of intense inner transformation, to reconnect with the elements and with life, and who seek a safe space for a transition in life, a renewal.
No dance experience is necessary. All that matters is your sincere presence.
The course is taught in French and English.
✨FABIENNE COURMONT, Awakener of souls and alchemist of movement.
‘I am committed to helping people reconnect with nature and the sacred through the voice of the body and dance, to free themselves from their shackles, to rise to the frequency of love and to awaken.’
International dancer-choreographer, dance therapist, author and founder of the Académie and the Danse de l'Être© method, the fruit of 30 years of experience. Her career and journey are vast, and the synthesis that has emerged from them has become Danse de l'Être®, inspired by Isadora Duncan's free dance, nature and various traditions connecting the body, soul and spirit (Tai Chi, Noh theatre, Butoh dance, Indian dance, integral yoga, Sufi dance, shamanism, ancient Greek dance). The result is a universal teaching as a new art of living and dancing in a free form, which is the very expression of Being. She has been training many people in her method since 2004 and has been accompanying groups in Bugarach since 2012.
