Spiritual Counselor, Shamanic Practitioner and Sacred Dance Artist, Pia Louise Capaldi aims to nurture the many faces of self-expression, as well as help others to unearth their expressive roots.
Pia's vision is to help others cultivate a healthy, safe spiritual awareness and personal practice rooted directly in the heart. It is her belief that through personal empowerment and the nurturing of the body, mind and spirit, one can reach a state of deep centeredness that can access profound personal clarity needed to manifest life goals, dreams and desires.
Based in western Massachusetts, where classes are held on a regular basis, Eliza Luminara keeps focus on the spiritual side of movement and the sacredness of mind and body. Her teaching style strives to help students discover their own inner strength and beauty, while connecting with others in a safe and inclusive space.
​Her company, Luminara Dance, focuses on building community & educating the public on earth based spiritualities through classes & event productions. She has produced multiple shows including the spring annual Faces of the Goddess, & travels regularly to study & teach Tribal Fusion Belly Dance & Ritual Dance throughout New England and beyond.
