A homage to
Launching May 2026
to support humanity and all beings
in the passage of death and grief

Momentom has always been about one thing:
To support humans to reimagine what’s real.

To use art to shift perception.
To open cracks in the familiar.
To look beyond the veil.
To EMOTE.

At
asked
very real questions:

Are we as a collective
prepared for death?

Are we ready to make death
The most conscious experience of our lives?

How ready we are when the time comes is up to us.

Dying awake is of the most awing ritual theatre pieces
created by the Momentom community

A true representation of what we consider ceremony.
A threshold where things get quiet enough
For us to feel the answers emerge

powerfully transmuted
an un-performance
Not a “show” -
just real raw truth
We witnessed her
Getting out of her own way
to allow spirit through her
To express
The unraveling
we meet as we die

A truth the audience felt viscerally

Masked artists walked through the crowd,
gently looking people right in the face :
For the audience to see their own masks
And face their actual relationship with death

This is an homage to the created by Gabrielle to honour death and grief processes, to find and train death doulas

, founder of Momentom Collective, is officially live — and she’s sharing her life’s work with the world - gabriellebonneville.com 🙌

You know her.

For 12+ years, Gabrielle moved, trained, coached you, she explored the human body and spirit in 20 residencies, and then dove knee deep with .world

She’s experimented with every type of body, nervous system, and energy she could encounter — and from it all, a methodology emerged - birthed right from Momentom 😮

Her clearest realization? At the heart of life, there are only three priorities: life, death, and the consciousness in between.

And life — at its essence — is movement. So MOVE

Gabrielle discovered that strength, vitality, clarity and becoming your highest self dosnt have to be hard. With a clear methodology, it’s easy

She beta-ed the method on 20+ students in 2025. She refined, she perfected, and she is now launching a downloadable, easy to follow, Progressive series, for ALL BODIES

She called it SOMANA

• Soma — the body
• Mana — life force energy

It’s a 10-week journey that awakens the full body, flows through the elements, and activates the light body:

Structural strength → Elemental movement → Bio-energetic activation

To celebrate the launch of her website, Gabrielle is sharing a FREE 3-day taster:

• Root → Heart → Crown
• 20 minutes a day
• No equipment, no excuses

Momentom familia!
It’s officially been over a year since we last ran an Artist Residency - our first break since our inception 10 years ago. We wanted to give an update from our cofounders of what we’ve been up to & the future ahead.

MC has evolved over the decade, but it’s always been committed to finding ways to accelerate human potential through arts & community living.

All 3 founders each shifted to cultivating personal projects that carry forward the spirit of Momentom in new & unique ways. While there are currently no plans to restart the collective in its original form, we remain open to what might emerge in the future.

The alumni of MC projects have continued to evolve & flourish! Our 500+ member Whatsapp group is active daily, there’s pop up reunions around the world & many continue to reference Momentom as one of their greatest life inspirations. For this, we are SO grateful & humbled as we continue to steward this community, even at its changed capacity.

She guides temple initiations in Egypt, works with sacred plant medicines—esp Blue Lotus— & facilitates global offerings.

An offering from the co-founder of Momentom Collective

After years of requests from my community… Gaby is opening a 10-week personalized movement program that weaves together everything I’ve learned in her 10 years in the circus — and more.

The program is called Poise.

Poise means holding yourself — in body and in energy — with grace, strength, and presence. It comes from the Old French pois, meaning “weight.” To have poise is to carry your own weight with elegance.

Movement is medicine.
It’s how we find confidence, create projects, connect with our body, and start our mornings with clarity and strength.

In this program, she blends
• Strength training from circus
• Mobility from yoga
• Flexibility from contortion
• Postural alignment from ballet

Whether you’re a total beginner or a Cirque du Soleil performer, this is for you.
Whether you’re a mother, entrepreneur, dancer, yogi, climber, or creative, this is for you.

If you’ve trained with her at Momentom, you know:

The deeper you go spiritually, the stronger your body must become.
Root down to rise up.

What you’ll gain:
• Better posture
• More strength
• Increased flexibility
• Less pain
• Body awareness
• A killer morning practice you actually want to wake up to

This is online, one-on-one, personalized, and accessible. Very similar to residency training.
We start Mondays.

DM me for more info or to reserve your spot
Let’s move.
Let’s root.
Let’s rise.

Love you, always.

We have exciting news to share about two amazing humans that met at our Circus Island Residency! In 2022 on Ometepe Island in Nicaragua we witnessed two wonderful souls meet. Now, they have taken the next step in their journey. (Read until the end 😉❤️)

He, a simple yogi clown:
She, a traveling gypsy:

Jonny was a teacher and team member with the Momentom Collective when Natalija joined the residency. After finishing her master’s in social work, she planned to stay for just two weeks before continuing her musical tour south, but fate had other plans. In the fertile soil of Ometepe, within the safe container of Momentom, their connection took root and blossomed. Over the following weeks, they quickly became inseparable. Natalija kept pushing back her travels each week until, eventually, the residency ended. But their story didn’t end there. They realized their love was something special. Leaving Momentom, they were overflowing with inspiration and a desire to continue growing, learning, and serving. Inspired by the many leaders, healers, artists, and teachers they encountered at Momentom, they found a new sense of freedom. They understood deeply that there was no “right way” or “right time” and set out to share the gifts they had received from their community with as many people as possible.

Now, three years of love, life, and lessons later, this journey has taken them around the world and brought them to another new beginning. Together, they’ve launched , a culmination of all their experiences into one expression. Through retreats, events, and advanced trainings, they support others in untangling the complexities of the mind while loosening the knots of the body and heart.

Speaking of knots, they’ve recently tied one! They will be married in 2025!

Happy solstice community 🥰

Zooming out looking at macro systems, the Mayan elders observed cycles with incredible accuracy, and using their Ha’ab solar calendar, there are 52 year cycle paradigms. We are in the last 2 years of this cycle, and the last years of it are about addressing the scaffolding of the previous paradigm to shake and break it down where it is out of alignment and integrity, especially where life and spirit is not at the center.

This year is called 12 No’j, literally translates to integrating cosmic and collective intelligence, and a year for organizing thought and information to construct the blueprints for what to create for the paradigm ahead.

Next year is 13 Iq’, the two most tumultuous energies coming together in the 52 year cycle. Iq’ means divine breath and is the archetype of wind. Wind blowing is what creates seasonal shifts and brings change. Wind is also breath, which gives power to the word. When communication isn’t flowing smoothly, it builds up to anger and yelling. 13 means the volume dial is at maximum amplitude, taking all the features of the archetype and bringing them to their fullest. It’s also our connection to the ancestral and spiritual realm where the veil is the thinnest, think Halloween.

Together, 13 Iq’ means hurricane, or the big bad wolf coming to blow the house down. It means collective protest and civil unrest. It means disruption of communication and moving systems, in this case likely financial, and supply chains. It also means we may hear the voices of new powerful spiritual leaders.

We share all this because it just isn’t something we’re feeling and seeing hints of across the news and memes. It’s captured in the profoundly intricate and precise systems of ancient wisdom.

We wish you love and grace in this next solstice

It came into our awareness, especially after covid, how incredibly beneficial doing art OUTSIDE was to our mental health and physical well being. For this reason, we started the green residency programme where we merge circus arts with permaculture. Here’s what we discovered 🩵

🌿🎨 *Top 10 Reasons Why Doing Art Outside is Beneficial for Your Health and Mental Wellbeing*🎨🌿

1. **Natural Light**: Soaking up the sun boosts vitamin D levels, improving mood and energy. ☀️

2. **Reduced Stress**: Nature’s calming effects paired with creative expression significantly lower stress and anxiety. 🌲

3. **Enhanced Creativity**: The diversity of the outdoors provides endless inspiration, sparking new ideas and perspectives. 🌼

4. **Improved Concentration**: Nature helps improve focus, making your art sessions more productive and immersive. 🌳

5. **Physical Activity**: Walking to a scenic spot or setting up your easel involves physical movement, benefiting overall fitness. 🚶‍♀️

6. **Social Interaction**: Outdoor art activities can connect you with other nature and art enthusiasts, fostering community.

7. **Mindfulness and Relaxation**: Creating art in nature encourages mindfulness, helping you stay present and relaxed. 🍃

8. **Enhanced Mood**: The combination of being outdoors and creating art naturally boosts your mood and emotional well-being. 😊

9. **Sensory Stimulation**: Engage all your senses with the sights, sounds, and scents of nature, enriching your creative process. 🌺

10. **Endless Inspiration**: From landscapes to wildlife, the natural world offers a constant source of artistic inspiration. 🌏

🎨🌿 Get outside and let nature inspire your next masterpiece! 🌿🎨
