Why Now? Why This Matters.
We are living in a time of deep transition.
Many people feel disconnected from their bodies, overwhelmed by information, and hungry for spaces that feel real, human, and alive.
Movement brings us back.
The world needs more spaces where we can feel, move, release, and reconnect.

ABOUT YOUR GUIDE
Dance Therapist, DJ, and Founder of Mariposa Movement
Hi, I’m Aliza Rivka — Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist, Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, and professional DJ.
For nearly two decades, I’ve guided hundreds through transformational work rooted in movement, somatics, nature connection and embodied leadership. My work bridges clinical training in dance/movement therapy with years of facilitating large-scale retreats and trainings internationally.
With a BA in Dance from Columbia University, an MS in Dance/Movement Therapy from Sarah Lawrence College, and a PhDJ from Body Language, I integrate evidence-based practice with ceremonial space-holding, music curation, and leadership development — equipping facilitators to lead powerful, ethical, and impactful spaces.
Today, I train women to become grounded, attuned, and skillful facilitators who can hold spaces that are inspiring, trauma-informed, and deeply human.
Spaces where people can move, feel, and reconnect — without performance, pressure, or pretense.
It would be an honor to guide you.
READY TO BEGIN?
Foundations is an invitation to deepen your relationship with movement,
leadership and yourself — in a way that’s grounded, practical, and alive.
