About Us
Litani is a creative collective that’s centred around applying wellness to a creative practice.
Welcome
to Litani
Welcome to Litani, where creativity and wellness intertwine to form a vibrant tapestry of self-expression and growth. As a collective, we are dedicated to fostering a nurturing space for creatives of all backgrounds to thrive.
Our community welcomes creatives of all stripes, whether you’re pursuing your passion or making a profession of it. We understand the unique challenges and pressures that come with a creative lifestyle, which is why we’ve curated a range of practices and workshops designed to empower and inspire.
Our Story
Litani was born from the shared experiences of its founders, Charlie and Marie. Charlie, a psychotherapist, reiki practitioner, mindfulness teacher, and entrepreneur and Marie, a seasoned producer and embodied dance teacher, joined forces after witnessing the profound effects of embodied practices on their own lives.
Our journey began with a realisation: in the fast-paced worlds of creativity and corporate demands, maintaining mental health and fostering creativity is paramount.
Through our individual paths, we discovered how embodied practices not only enhanced their creativity but also bolstered our mental wellbeing, enabling us to navigate the pressures of their respective industries with resilience and success.
Driven by our shared passion for holistic wellbeing and creative expression, Charlie and Marie established Litani as a sanctuary where others could experience the transformative power of somatic experiencing. Together, we combine our expertise to create a space where individuals can explore, heal, and thrive on their creative journeys.
Behind The Name
Influenced by Marie’s Lebanese heritage and drawing from the Nahr-Litani river of Lebanon, our inspiration is deeply rooted in the region’s rich culture. Named after the river’s serpent deity, our approach is infused with the fluid movements found in Southwest Asian and North African dances.
What We Do
At Litani, we facilitate creative workshops and courses on a range of creative somatic practices, such as embodied dance workshops, mindfulness movement exercises and reiki sessions, and engaging talks on mental health, and equip our members with tools to overcome performance anxiety, tap into their inner creativity, and foster holistic wellbeing. But Litani is more than just a collection of workshops – it’s a collaborative hub where ideas flow freely and connections are forged.
Get Involved
We thrive on feedback and collaboration, actively seeking input from our community to shape the projects and workshops we offer. From poetry slams and open mic nights to film screenings and theatre performances, Litani provides grounding platforms for creatives to showcase their work, embody their artistry, and connect with like-minded individuals.
