Aepril Schaile, MFA is a performance artist/priestess/poet with a dance practice rooted in the ancient and ever-evolving art of Bellydance. She has taught and performed at curated events in Paris, London, Rome, New York, and throughout Europe and the United States. Aepril shamanistically becomes Trickster, Warrior, Ghost, Storm, Grieving Mother, Killer, Graal, Seductress. She draws deeply from her immersement in the natural world, occult art/science, witchcraft, yoga and archetypal psychology, creating visceral and aetheral ritual theatre. Each performance is intended to create and convey a world. This is how Aepril describes her work in poetry: "Poetry is a practice of deep inquiry. Poems reveal themselves to me much like an oracle; yet, each poem also becomes a spell. ​Poems are a way for me to express kinesthetic, emotional body experience in a sculpture of words. They are an internal form of Performance Art. They are themselves music. Some say poetry is dead; it is not. It is homeopathic medicine for a time in which we move too fast, as it asks us to slow down and look again, and again. To imagine for ourselves. To be present. And to feel."

I didn't realise just how important the role of our bellies is in keeping us alive, balanced and fully functional in mind, body, spirit and heart until I met Mavra Grimoprez who is on a mission to raise awareness about the importance of the abdominal space to human beings. Her journey of how she arrived at this place is just as intriguing as the teachings she is sharing with the world about bellies. On this episode, I chat with Mavra Grimonprez on: Why shifting your belly can shift your world The importance of learning how to learn Practising what you preach - it all starts with self-discipline Remembering that we are not separate, we are all connected and one with the Earth Plus so much more!⁣ Mavra is the Founder of Bellyshift and a Belly Dance and Yoga Teacher. She is a French woman who fell in love with Australia and moved there for good in 2013. In hopes of being of service to the environment, she studied life, marine, plant, and earth science for years. It turned out teaching is, in fact, her true love and fulfilment. Having two beautiful and passionate teachers for parents, she never thought she would so happily embrace the "family curse". Mavra's life goal is to create a coherent personal and professional endeavour, which brings together all she values, loves, and feels entitled to teach due to her knowledge and experience. She created Bellyshift which centres on the human Belly: because her relationship with her own belly has consistently been as challenging as joyously transformative and also too many human bellies worldwide are in great need of help right now. She treasures all the people who have given her enough love and support to enable her to live alone far away from her roots and family for so many years.   For more about Mavra Facebook - www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090767859486 Instagram - www.instagram.com/bellyshift2023 LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/mavra-grimonprez-3064a1268   For more about host KaKi Lee Website - www.kakilee.com Facebook Page - www.facebook.com/kakiverse888 Instagram - www.instagram.com/kakiverse888 Check out KaKi's Signature Coaching Program - Unlimited Abundance Academy - www.kakilee.com/unlimited-abundance-academy Interested in working with KaKi?
