Meet the Team
Sybille Biedert
I am Sybille, a passionate community weaver dedicated to holding space for personal and collective transformation, especially for women.
Founder of Embodied Freedom, with over 10 years of experience in workshops and training. I am an accredited Open Floor Movement teacher and the creator of the Embodied Freedom Movement practice. My workshops, such as Embodied Intimacy and SoulHum, focus on emotional literacy and embodiment, guiding participants toward deeper self-awareness.
My trauma-informed approach, rooted in Possibility Management, empowers individuals to connect with their feelings and take authentic action. In 2024, I launched the first Embodied Freedom Movement Spaceholder Training, growing a community of spaceholders committed to transformative work.
Through movement, soundscapes, and conscious exercises, I inspire clarity, authenticity, and empowerment, inviting participants to explore their inner flames and embrace their full potential.
Jason Horton
Hello, I’m Jason, a Creative Space Catalyst, passionate about conscious movement and facilitating transformative experiences. A devoted father of four teenage sons and an evolutionary artist.
I have spent many years honing my craft as a multimedia artist within spiritual communities and sacred ceremonies. My expertise lies in infusing spaces with energy and seamlessly navigating the technical aspects to amplify these experiences.
I am deeply committed to designing and leading transformational events, and am dedicated to supporting collective awakening through creative arts and group resonance.
Samantha Bassett
Hello, I’m Sam. I discovered Embodied Freedom in 2023 while exploring festival workshops and was captivated by their work. The start of 2024, I realized I was still numbing out and with events happening in my life, knew it was time to start to embrace my feelings and learn healthy ways to process my anger, fear, sadness and joy. This led me to attend my first Embodied Freedom 2-day event, sparking a deeper transformation, particularly with movement.
In May 2024, I attended the first Spaceholder training to deepen my connection, and it was a profound experience. I’m grateful to Sybille for creating a space that we can learn and transform in a supportive community.
I now support Embodied Freedom behind the scenes and also able to offer spaces for conscious feeling and movement in the Waikato. This journey has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m excited for what lies ahead.
Monica Cross
I am Monica Cross, and I am a part of Embodied Freedom because I believe in the incredible creative potential that comes to life when we are connected with our feelings and our bodies.
For years I have felt that disconnection and how that blocks my connection with those around me. I have seen what unfolds when spaces are held for in that journey inward - the outward responds and we evolve together.
What I bring is spacious creativity, deep listening and a passion to see what we can do differently in this world when we connect with our aliveness.
Claudia Manderson
I'm Claudia, and I've loved moving and dancing since childhood as a way to express myself. Over the years, my dance practice has evolved from purely physical expression into a deep connection with my inner self and an exploration of relating to others.
I discovered Embodied Freedom, which has allowed me to go deeper by holding space for intention and embracing my authentic being through feelings, sensations, and expressions. With the guidance of a safe, supportive space, I’ve learned to explore my edges and expand my choices. I treasure how the right music and space can make this journey deep, nourishing, fun, creative, sacred, and transformative.
Being part of the Embodied Freedom team, I am honored to offer you a space to let go, explore, and transform. It’s a joy to share my passion and sensitivity in supporting your empowerment, connection, and healing. I look forward to meeting you on the dancefloor!
