In the growing landscape of healing practices through movement and music, the God Ars podcast stands out for its commitment to connecting people dedicated to caring for the planet and themselves. Recently, on the podcast, Max Passante, a professional who has dedicated his life to music and dance as tools for personal and collective transformation, was a guest.
Max Passante is a long-experienced DJ, whose journey into the world of music began at the age of 16. However, it is not his DJ career that has caught the attention, but rather his approach to healing through conscious dance. As told in the podcast, Max immediately noticed the power of music in creating deep connections between people, a sort of 'nuclear fusion' that transcends age, culture and social class. After decades of club experience, Max felt the need for something more. The turning point came with the encounter with the 'Five Rhythms', a conscious dance practice created by Gabrielle Roth that opened a new chapter in her life. This practice transformed his way of seeing music and movement, leading him to explore new ways of healing.
During his interview, Max shared how dance has the power to help people overcome personal crises and trauma. During the lockdown, many people found dance as a lifesaver, a way to detach themselves from the rational mind and connect with the body's intelligence. Through movement, energy blocks and trauma can be released, allowing for profound liberation. Max also emphasized the importance of community and connection with others during these practices. Dance, especially when shared in a group, can create a sense of belonging and deep connection with others, leading to a transformation that is also reflected in everyday life.
In his journey, Max has also embraced 'Ecstasy', a form of free dance that, unlike the Five Rhythms, does not require constant vocal guidance. Ecstasy invites participants to follow their inner guidance, allowing for an even more spontaneous and personal form of expression. Despite the freedom offered by Ecstasy, Max stresses the importance of sound quality and constant musical research, fundamental elements for creating a profound and meaningful experience.
Max Passante is also a fervent supporter of international collaborations. Currently, he is working on a project with Amber Ryan, another prominent figure in the world of conscious dance. Together, they are organizing a retreat in Costa Rica for next New Year's Eve, an event that promises to be an experience of profound transformation. These collaborations, explains Max, are essential to enrich their work and to create new connections with different communities. Through these synergies, it is possible to explore new ways of healing and growing, both personally and collectively.
Max Passante's experience shows how music and dance can be powerful tools for healing and transformation. His work, which ranges from Five Rhythms to Ecstasy, offers valuable guidance for anyone who wants to explore new ways of connecting with themselves and with others. For those who want to participate in his events or follow his activities, Max is active in Rome with regular appointments, all the details are available on Transition and Max Passante's social networks and online platforms. Through dance, we can reconnect with our body, free ourselves from old traumas and find a new harmony, both within ourselves and with the world around us
