Move for a Cause:
Sunday Dance Fundraiser for Adam Barley

Support Adam Barley’s Lymphoma Cancer Journey to Recovery - join Us in Movement, Connection, and Giving Back.

Adam Barley, a renowned movement teacher and mentor, has dedicated his life to inspiring people through dance and personal growth. MAITREA collaborated with Adam for more then 12 years. Now, he needs our support. Diagnosed with high-grade lymphoma, Adam is undergoing an intensive CAR-T cell therapy treatment and faces a long road to recovery.

To help him during this challenging time, we are organizing a weekly Sunday evening dance class fundraiser, where all proceeds go directly to supporting Adam’s medical expenses, living costs, and recovery process. 

Let’s come together as a community and give back to someone who has given so much to us!

My passion is creating spaces for authentic and creative expression. And, by “walking the talk” in my own practice, I aim to inspire others.

About Maria-Carin Gala

MC (Maria-Carin) welcomes your freestyle, expressive movement into a space to feel, breathe, and let go—together. Inspired by many conscious dance modalities, she weaves her own unique style into a rich, embodied movement journey—sensuous and deep, light and wild, real and playful. You’ll be guided through peaks and valleys, leaving you feeling fully alive and deeply nourished, connected to yourself, to each other and the earth.

MC loves bringing people together through a vibrant mix of eclectic and electronic beats, creating an open and colourful container for exploration. With her distinctive style, she gently and playfully holds space for vulnerability while encouraging full-bodied curiosity. Her dance floor endeavours to welcome all the colours of the rainbow of human emotion, experience, and expression. Bright as the sun or dark as the night—and everything in between—bring it on. Come Dance as you are

15th June - 7pm CET - Anne Marie Hogya (CA)

About Anne Marie Hogya

I’ve been immersed in 5Rhythms since 1999 and teaching since 2008. Movement is my first language—it’s how I help people drop into their bodies, move through what’s stuck, and find their way back to themselves. As a 5Rhythms teacher, DJ, and occupational therapist based in Canada, I blend structure with flow, science with artistry, always exploring what moves us.

Adam Barley has been a fierce and dear friend since the early 2000s and a profound influence on my path. I’m honored to offer an hour of movement and music in this space—for Adam, for all of us, for the power of moving together.

About Monika Ananda Wiese

Monika Ananda fell in love with conscious dance through the 5 R´s in 2011, and found another big love in the beauty of different practices at One Dance Tribe, being part of the team for a few years: this is, where she also met Adam and later MC Gala.  Since 2017 Monika Ananda teaches the practice of Soul Motion in Germany. She is a yes to new ideas while asking the questions opening corridors of new perspectives. Body and nature are her source of inspiration: as touch, movement, song and creativity.

Donate, support and dance!

 All lecturers are holding space without remuneration.
All money raised will be sent directly to Adam. 

Don't be surprised, individual final amounts may vary- we are VAT Tax payers in the Czech Republic, so within the EU, we usually have to add VAT, but businesses with a valid VAT ID don’t pay it. If you’re outside the EU, VAT doesn’t apply to you.

Donate to our GoFundMe campaign to ease Adam’s financial burden. 
Every contribution helps, big or small. It might be the cost of a smoothie, movement class, workshop registration or any other amount within your means.
(GoFundMe takes only 3% of the contribution)
