ALICE KIELO
Founder & artistic director
A total artist, Alice composes her spaces as one composes a work: light, sound, movement, speech and gesture are held there by one and the same hand. She does not separate the disciplines — she tunes them to one another.
A child of the bay of Marseille, she seeks in every encounter the grace of a moment that rings true: a door, open, onto what is truly lived.
Trained in relational and somatic facilitation within demanding international programmes, she works trauma-informed, with constant attention to emotional safety, to consent, and to respect for each person's rhythm.
α · her approach
Her approach
Carried by the desire for a re-enchanted world, Alice sets her work within a sensitive and poetic creation: every proposal is conceived as a bouquet, a living composition. In it she seeks a language of the intimate made of presence, care and beauty — an aesthetic and an ethic that infuse every encounter and shape, event after event, the culture of a community.
She composes spaces where grace, music and movement become doors onto a true encounter. Dance as philosophy, spontaneous movement and relational attunement — what she calls the diapason — hold a central place there: an attention to presence, to the gesture that rings true, to the simplicity of the instant.
β · her training
Her training
Alice trained in relational and somatic facilitation within demanding international programmes. She is notably a Field Facilitator (The Field, Rachel Rickards), an Integral Tantra Teacher (Tantra Intégral, Jacques Ferber) and a Tantric Dance Teacher (Rakesh Mijling). Her practice is trauma-informed: emotional safety, free and revocable consent and respect for each person's rhythm are the constant rule.

Her spaces
These enquiries Alice first opened in her own spaces — the Sublime Temple, the workshops of the Cocoon of the Intimate, the Heart of Stillness mindfulness retreats. Several of these formats live on today, renewed, within the strands of Maison Khôra.
