Amerta Movement is a free-form movement practice developed by Javanese artist Suprapto Suryodarmo.

It invites us to experience life through movement and change — opening awareness, presence, and sensitivity in ways that reach beyond technique or form. The Sanskrit word Amerta means nectar or elixir of life, pointing to the enlivening and regenerative quality of the practice.

Although Amerta is not a form of therapy, it can be deeply beneficial and often supports healing and development in unexpected ways.

Laura studied with Suprapto Suryodarmo (“Prapto”) from 2006 until his passing in 2019. She was one of the few practitioners to attend his official teacher training in 2019 and has assisted, organised, and supported Amerta workshops in Europe and Indonesia.

Amerta Movement continues to inform her life and work — personally, creatively, and professionally.

What This Practice Invites

This work invites you to come home to your body — to feel more alive, grounded, and present in each moment.

Through gentle movement and the practice of awareness, you begin to notice the patterns that shape your daily life, opening space for new ways of being.

We explore how we are in relationship — with nature, with others, with the spaces we inhabit, and with the wider field of life. It is an enquiry into the living texture of your experience. In this space, creativity and vitality can unfold naturally, expressing what is most true and alive in you.

My role is to guide and accompany you — embodied, steady, present, and attuned.

Amerta Movement is a non-stylised, free-form approach rooted in attentive, sensory-motor awareness. Sessions can take place indoors, outdoors in nature, online and no movement experience is needed.

It embraces:

• Movement meditation

• Embodied reflection

• Everyday and functional movement

• Personal and creative development

• Relationship with nature, culture, and place
