Learn to Lead from presence, not performance.
A 7-day relational movement facilitator training in Ubud, Bali, with Dissolve founder Tara Li.
Who is the Dissolve Facilitator Training for?
The Dissolve Facilitator Training is created for facilitators, space-holders, and practitioners who want to bring more embodiment, connection, and surrendered leadership into their work. Movement lovers who feel ready to lead events and build community, but need the skills, structure, and support to begin are also invited.
Whether you're already leading retreats, workshops, or movement classes, or you're just beginning your path as a somatic guide, this facilitator training will give you the tools, structure, and support to bring more embodiment and connection into the spaces that you hold and dream of creating.
If you feel the call to guide others through movement from your own presence and intuition, we would love to hear from you.
What the Training is About
The Dissolve Method is a facilitation modality for holding dynamic, group embodiment practices, taught by Dissolve founder Tara Li who has over 20 years of experience in these fields.
The modality uses free-form movement and relational interaction on the dance floor as pathways into deep inner transformation. Drawing on Ecstatic Dance, Contact Improvisation, Sensual Dance and more, it offers a lived understanding of how to guide groups into play, presence, and connection.
Facilitators here are not performers at the front of the room. They amplify the field, and dancers connect to the field and move with it.

Your guide Tara Li
Tara Li is a facilitator of intimacy-based social experiences that use human interaction, movement, and energetics for self-transformation and deeper connection. She works with the spontaneous energy of the group, always created in the present moment, to direct and shift the experience, making each one unique.
Tara has held weekly dances in Ubud since 2015, and Dissolve Eros and Dissolve Play are among the most iconic and well-attended embodiment events on the island. Trained in Contact Improv, ballet, jazz, tango, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, qigong, and tai chi, and with 20 years of experience supporting thousands of people to connect through the wisdom of the body, she leads people on a playful, spacious journey toward a deeper connection within.
Where the Training Takes Place
You'll be joining us in a private movement studio in Ubud, tucked into the jungle at the heart of Bali. Ubud is a global sanctuary for artists, seekers, and those who choose to dance with life. It was chosen for its rich spiritual history and vibrant embodiment community. From rice terraces to river valleys, everything here invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and return to what's real. Here, movement becomes prayer and presence becomes a way of life.
