A Journey of Soul: Rooted In Love, Growing Through Change
A story about returning to myself through love, loss, and the quiet shifts that change everything.
After attending the ecstatic dance festival in Amsterdam, I found myself drawn to a concert on the other side of the city. The evening began with Prayer of the Mothers and unfolded into Women of the World Unite, a movement that has traveled across borders through the voice of Yael Deckelbaum — an Israeli-Canadian singer, songwriter, and activist.
During an interview, someone asked her:
“ Can you give us some insight into when this big idea of uniting women around the world began? ”
Her answer stayed with me:
It was never an idea. It’s more like something in my DNA — it’s beyond an idea.
I had spiritual experiences, spiritual awakenings. What I really connected to in that moment was something higher, something I felt deeply. And then I knew “ I needed to go out and make peace.”
That response made me pause. It reminded me of a question I often ask myself:
“ What big change did you make to transform your life? ”
For me, the answer circles back to three words: mindset, experience, and self-belief.
Dancing as a Soft Skill: How Movement Transforms Us
Movement teaches what words can’t. Through dance, we learn presence, resilience, and the quiet confidence that grows from within.
When we think of soft skills, we often list communication, adaptability, or emotional intelligence. Have you ever thought of dancing as one?
Dancing is more than a hobby — it’s a form of self-expression, a stress reliever, and a surprising teacher of soft skills like confidence, presence, flow, and collaboration.
Five years ago , I’ve fallen in love with dance. What started as a joyful escape quickly evolved into something deeper. It became a mirror, reflecting parts of myself I hadn’t seen before — like a bridge, connecting me with people across cultures and cities.
Through my travels in London, New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and Italy, I discovered.
How dance thrives in public spaces, where creativity and community pulse together.
Compared to my dance experiences in Asia, this felt like stepping into a new dimension one that expanded not only how I danced, but how I lived.
What dance taught me about soft skills:
Play with rhythm — adapt quickly and embrace spontaneity
Energize movement — express with clarity and confidence
Master technique with joy — stay grounded while flowing freely
