OUR MISSION

WE ARE A MOVEMENT.
A Reclamation. A Reinvention. A Revolution.

In times of profound change, fragmentation and transformation, Mariposa Movement is a sanctuary of rhythm, regulation, wholeness and soul — where the body becomes an oracle, the dance becomes a revolution, and every being is invited home to their divine design. Come remember with us 🦋

MARIPOSA MOVEMENT IS...

A PATH

There is a map to metamorphosis.
Knowing this map helps us honor every stage of transformation with grace.
Together, in community, we navigate the sometimes disorienting terrain of awakening. You are not alone.

A PRACTICE

Dance is our moving meditation.
How we move on the dance floor shapes how we move through life.
By showing up to practice, we show up more fully in the world — with clarity, ease, and grace.

A PARADIGM

This is about so much more than dance. Dance is our portal into heart-centered ways of being — joy, intuition & presence. Movement anchors us in the moment and reconnects us to the wisdom of the body.

OUR STORY

MelissaRobin-9505.jpg

Mariposa means butterfly in Spanish.

​

Born from the healing journey of our founder, Aliza Rivka, Mariposa Movement is a celebration of dance, nature and the organic wisdom coursing through our veins. In a world where speed and technology threaten our humanity, we gather to repeatedly return to rhythm, ritual, and remembrance.

​

This work is reclamation. It is revolution.
It is brave, and it is needed — now more than ever.

​

Come dance with us.​​

Just as butterflies pollinate life between flowers, we dance to embody our highest selves and to spread awakened consciousness across the planet — one dance, one breath, one butterfly at a time.

Yesterday during my morning meditation I tuned into our Mariposa Movement class from Tuesday and I felt such joy spread throughout my body! It was so lovely. I can’t wait for the next class!
