Melanie Roske
BREATHWORKER & COACH
Jeremy's life was significantly impacted by a near-death experience being struck by lightning at the age of sixteen. The event gave him a glimpse into the unseen world, realizing our interconnectedness and a taste of our true potential.
-
This initiation ignited a transformational journey where he studied many healing and expressive art forms to help channel his creative energy in a life-affirming way. Early on this path, he discovered the dynamic and beautiful art form of Capoeira. He studied for twenty years under the guidance of Mestre Cafu and became an instructor teaching for over ten years.
In his late teens, Jeremy connected with his mentor Melissa Michaels. As an apprentice and through her International movement based rites of passage programs, Jeremy learned somatic practices to move and express blocked and suppressed energy and memory in the body. He began to understand and track the powerful rhythms, emotions, and movement patterns that make up the ever-changing landscape of the human experience. This work led him to study at Naropa University, where he attended a master's program in physical theatre. Jeremy then went on to teach at Helikos (International School of Theatre Creation) in Florence, Italy.
