About us

Behind the Lids is here to connect like minded individuals with a desire to heal and be seen in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Our mission is to offer a safe container and setting for all those who walk through the doors to discover who they are on a deeper level. Our hope is that the community will find the benefit of being honest about where they are in their own individual journeys. To feel safe enough to speak that truth, which will eliminate the illusions that exist in this world that contribute to separation consciousness. MORE INFO: www.BehindTheLids.com

  • Somatic Dance: Movement for Emotional Release with Gina Celso

    Somatic Dance: Movement for Emotional Release with Gina Celso

    Behind the Lids Healing Collective, 1733 Monrovia Ave # L, Costa Mesa, CA, US

    CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR $35

    Somatic Dance is a guided, music-driven movement practice that supports emotional release, nervous-system regulation, and deep reconnection with the body, without needing to relive the past.

    While traditional therapy helps you understand what you’re feeling, somatic dance helps you move through and release it.

    Each class weaves together dynamic meditation, mantra, breath-to-movement, and moments of free, ecstatic dance to create a grounded and liberating experience. Unlike an open ecstatic dance format, this is a facilitated, structured practice with guidance throughout—designed to help you feel safe, supported, and embodied as emotions arise and release.

    There is no choreography and no right way to move. You’ll be invited to follow internal cues, allow the body to lead, and express what wants to move, always at your own pace and within your own limits.

    Somatic Dance works directly with the body’s innate wisdom, helping stored stress, emotions, and tension surface and release naturally. Rather than analyzing or revisiting old experiences, this practice supports real-time integration opening you to clarity, presence, and a sense of freedom.

    What to expect:

    • Guided dynamic meditation and grounding
      - Breath to movement synchronization
      - Mantra and music to support emotional release
      - Periods of free, expressive dance
      - A safe, non-judgmental container

    This class is open to all bodies and all levels of movement experience. Whether you’re seeking emotional release, nervous-system support, or a deeper connection to yourself, Somatic Dance offers a powerful way to move, feel, and reset.

    About the Facilitator:

    Gina is a Somatic Dance teacher and Life Coach. She brings a trauma-informed, nervous system aware movement practice that integrates breath, meditation, mantra, and expressive dance.

    Her work supports people in meeting their resilient edge, the place where regulation, self trust, and growth meet. Creating a grounded, intentional container, Gina teaches students to reconnect with their bodies and access their own inner authority. Her classes emphasize embodied boundaries, emotional integration, and present moment awareness. The somatic tools offered extend beyond the dance floor and into daily life.

    With a steady embodied presence, Gina guides her students toward self-sovereignty, resilience, and authentic expression, helping them release old identities that no longer serve and move forward with clarity, strength, and choice.

    Join Lisa every Monday and embark on a journey of tranquility and self-discovery through guided meditation, the healing energy of a Reiki blessing accompanied by the gentle resonance of Crystal singing bowls and other soothing instruments 🎶.

    We flow with the moon, so sometimes we will set intentions, sometimes we are diving into our shadows. We will focus on integration, loving our whole selves, and sometimes letting go and releasing what is holding us back.

    Whether you're a beginner or an experienced meditator, this class is designed for all levels. Don't forget to bring a journal or notebook to record your reflections. This is the perfect opportunity for self-care and self-love, providing a peaceful space to unwind and nurture your inner well-being. Join us and cultivate a sense of calm and balance in your life.

    Lisa Beebe leads the Full Moon Ceremony on a monthly basis. She facilitates guided channeled meditations, sound healing, as well as reiki and energy work, which often includes intention setting, journaling, allowing, and releasing. Through life’s journey, Lisa is grateful to have opened up to love and life through a deeper connection with herself, the spiritual realm, and community, and she has grown and blossomed through the process of grieving the loss of her husband and father. She now leads from this vulnerable and compassionate place.

    This activating breathwork journey invites you to use the medicine of your own breath to clear stored tension, move stagnant energy, and reconnect to the deeper truth of who you are.

    Through rhythmic, conscious breathing, you’ll create space within the body — allowing emotion, memory, and insight to rise and release in a safe and supported container.

    As layers soften, what remains is presence. Clarity. Wholeness.

    This is an invitation to remember yourself.
