Katie Grimes is a dance and movement facilitator and the creator of So We Are Silent Disco, the healing silent disco in Long Beach, CA. Katie is trained in dance movement therapy and is passionate about manifestation, embodiment, and using movement as medicine. Her silent disco has been featured in the Los Angeles Times and will be featured in an upcoming docuseries.

Katie found this work and her passion for healing because she struggled with chronic illness, chronic pain, and disordered eating for the majority of her adult life. She found herself constantly abandoning and disregarding her body entirely. Katie created So We Are Silent Disco to help pass on her healing and provide a safe space for others to explore themselves and reunite with their inner wisdom and power.

The Word Of The Day is scintillating which means sparkling or shining brightly; clever or skillful; very lively and interesting.

I loved talking with Katie about so many things: 

  • Everything that Katie went through on her physical and spiritual journey
  • Movement as meditation and medicine
  • The ocean has negative ions. Negative ions are oxygen molecules with an extra negatively charged electron, while positive ions are molecules that have lost one or more electrons.  Translation to our health, negative ions are good for our health (seems counterintuitive) while positive ions are damaging to our health.  Positive ions are produced by electrical equipment such as televisions, microwaves ovens, etc.  The highest concentrations of positive ions exist in cities, crowded places, offices, industrial areas, schools, cars, etc. (From PuraVeda.org)
  • Discovering the mammalian nervous system practice of shaking
  • Rapid Resolution Therapy
  • A threat may not be a threat, it’s just our interpretation of a threat
  • Your brain has all the soil for whatever seed you give it, so plant a seed that you want to grow
  • Quantum Entanglement we are all connected and healing ourselves will heal others
  • This could be the best day of your life intention 
  • "I see you through the lens of love" practice that will change the world!!!
