"So may we remember - again and again


Who we are and where we come from


 

Sense, listen, give voice



To the one within who truly knows"

 

​

A living invitation — where poetry becomes movement, and sound becomes story.

Poetry in Motion is where my poems first came alive — not in a studio, but in a small, slightly quirky chapel, during the first edition of ROOTS. It was Sunday morning. The door was open. Johannes Siemann played live music while I spoke poems I hadn’t planned to share. People sat on the floor, barefoot, letting the words arrive gently. And somehow, it all made sense.

​

To go back to the starting point: in 2011, after my father passed away, the poems began whispering to me. In the silence that followed, words began to arrive — first as sensations, then as full sentences. It truly began, word for word, when I traveled to the Sinai desert in Egypt. There, in the still and vast landscape, the poems found me. They came through walks, dreams, long nights. They became companions. Guides. A way to feel and speak what I didn’t yet understand.

​

And yet, it would take another seven years before I began speaking them aloud. It wasn’t until after Hazel was born, in 2018, that the words found their way into my voice — and eventually, into the room. That was the true beginning.

​

Since that moment, this offering has continued to unfold — across chapels, churches, dance floors, forest edges, and intimate venues. The poems grew into an album: Birthing a Forest — a collaboration with artists like Uria Tsur, Kevin James, Carrie Tree, and Mitsch. Rooted in my lived journey, it’s a body of work that moves through stillness and rhythm, breath and heartbeat.

​

As a visionary DJ and spoken word artist, this poetry now travels with me. It shows up in my sets — in the quiet between tracks, in the pulse of the beat, in the softening of the room. The words don’t interrupt the music; they become part of it. The spoken word becomes melody. The music becomes memory.

​

Each Poetry in Motion session is different. Sometimes it’s woven into a DJ set. Sometimes it stands alone — in a chapel, a circle, or a sacred room where we meet in stillness and sound. I share original poetry from Birthing a Forest, paired with live and recorded soundscapes. The words are inspired by those who walk before and beside me — David Whyte, Mary Oliver, Maria Rainer Rilke, Michael Molin-Skelton, Vinn Marti, and many others. The way they speak truth — gently, precisely, and with rhythm — continues to echo in my own voice.

​

My work is shaped by the people, places, and practices that taught me to listen. From the permaculture gardens where I first began to root, to the dance floors I’ve held across the world, to the teachers and friends who reminded me that sound, silence, and movement all belong. As the first female Ecstatic Dance DJ in Europe, I’ve stood at many thresholds — and Poetry in Motion continues to be one of the truest expressions of what I carry.

​

You are welcome to sit, lie down, rest, or move gently to the music. There’s no stage. No performance. Just a shared experience of presence — of listening to what wants to be heard.

​

All poetry is shared in English, but the language lives beyond the words. Poetry in Motion is an invitation to pause. To breathe. To move. To be moved. Whether you join in person or online, in a chapel or in your kitchen, the experience remains the same: a moment of remembering. A rhythm that returns you to what matters. So come as you are — soft or wild, tired or tender, still becoming. There’s space for all of you.
