“I cannot say enough to adequately express just how profoundly impactful the coaching journey with Dr. Jinju Dasalla has been.

I had tried almost every imaginable strategy to “fix” myself; talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, anti-depressants, exercise addiction, enough self-help books to fill a small library, Alcoholics Anonymous, out-patient rehab, sheer willpower, and a plethora of various herbs and supplements… just to name FEW! While each of these strategies brought me forward in the journey of remembrance and healing, I still kept coming up against a wall time and time again that kept me from taking that big leap of faith into my divine truth.

Through my work with Dr. Jinju, I was able to truly let go of the past, the limiting beliefs that were created by it, and take that leap. I now have a clear vision of a whole new life ahead of me. I have fallen in love with dance again and being fully in the moments of my life. I have shed behaviors that were destructive and that no longer serve me. I literally feel as though I have been re-born!

I am eternally grateful to Dr. Jinju for believing in me when I still could not believe in myself, and for holding such sacred space time and time again while I wrestled with my demons and ultimately rose through the shadow self to stand brilliant within the fiery glow of my own beautiful goddess self. In words that Dr. Jinju has spoken to so many, Mahalo nui loa.”

“Dr. Jinju is an amazing facilitator. Her learned skills and curriculum are unique to her and her teaching style. She has taken ancient wisdom and blended it with new age education producing a truly unique gift to the Womanly arts. I feel more aligned in my body and I have the neurological explanation as to WHY. Working with her, and participation in her programs has changed my life, and I am eternally grateful.”

“Now, there is something to be said about that saying ‘When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.’ This was my experience as I was Facebooking a while back and Dr. Jinju’s posts began speaking to me on that soul level. Then came that still, small voice, “message her”, so I did. I soon found myself taking an online course she offers and loving every moment of it. The information, the support, the depth of connection with other women, the healing, the empowerment. It was quite literally the answer to my prayers. Prayers for a more powerful way to manifest my dreams. Prayers for guidance and a clearer vision of my true purpose.

Now everything in me is determined to bring this work to my community here in Ghana, as well as be able to do it online.”

“There is no other organization or person that has more greatly affected my life than Soul Flow Alchemy and Dr. Jinju Dasalla. I almost backed out of attending the retreat because it was a time in my life when I felt deeply depressed and like a failure. I’m so thankful that I didn’t cancel my trip. I really needed to be there to help me become the person I wanted to be and let myself be me. The magic and tools you provided and the space are something I go back to every day. Your retreat brought me more peace and hope than anything I had tried before.”

“Being part of this group of women gives me a feeling of spiritual belonging and high vibration and is helping me to see myself in a much more loving, truthful and celebratory way. Jinju is a wealth of inspiration, knowledge and love and creates an environment that is nothing short of magic.”

“Before arriving to Kalani I had a hard time expressing my emotions. Bella Retreats allowed me to come together with complete strangers, many who had personal problems as well. Over the weeks spent in Hawaii, I learned to open up and accept myself and my feelings after. The strangers quickly became friends who I would hold close to my heart. Thanks to Jinju, Nova, Tracy, Una, Celeste for providing this environment! Aloha my friends.”

“Being seen and heard in such an open forum is invaluable! As I connect to others more deeply, I learn about myself and solidify goals for my life in profound ways. ”

“I feel challenged to reach beyond and eliminate the limitations I have for myself. I feel inspired by the collaboration and support of such a powerful circle. We all have something to share with the world, and this program is powerful, thought provoking, self exploring, heart opening and life changing.”

“I think the sister community that this retreat is creating is beyond invaluable. That coupled with the information/education we’re getting from the material as well as from each other makes this an experience like no other! I’m hoping it will spread worldwide and include more women, men and maybe older children in the future.”

“My experience was pure inspiration. Every single person had a transformation. I’d recommend this retreat to anyone feeling that they’ve lost spirit because you will find it here.”

“This retreat was completely transformative for me I am so glad I decided to take care of myself and book it even though I was literally shaking with fear. Una was very responsive and comforting. I love this transforms retreat!

This retreat helped me find the beauty already in my life and my environment. It has helped me to refrain myself down to self-worth and be comfortable with being strong and powerful.

The Alchemy of the mix of women facilitated by Jinju, Una, Tracy, and Celeste was nothing less than transformational not only as a group but as Individuals.”

“I just wanted to give you and Nova a special thanks for being sensitive enough to hear and meet my needs at the retreat. It was refreshing to feel validated by two respectable adults who don’t know me at all, and I feel more empowered and inspired than ever . . . . I can’t thank you enough for doing your work, I hope to see you again one day!”

“This retreat is an encouragement to play, explore, dispel fear and fly with flow and hearts forward.”

“Every aspect of this experience brought to life for me a different dimension of what it means to live in flow! I feel inspired and empowered!”

“Amazing people, amazing friends! Change my life in more ways than one! Mahalo!”

“I am so grateful to the art and flow of poi which has brought me closer to two gentle souls and reconnected me to the dancer that lives in all of us. Dancing with fire has returned a vibrance and softness that had gone missing in my energetic frequency. What a gift and miracle to move our powerful, beautiful bodies.

Thank you, flow brothers and sisters, for reading this post and receiving the expression of this experience, which brings tears to my eyes to write. May we all, and always, reach out to others and rediscover ourselves through the life force found in flow.”

“I had totally ignored my poi for the last few months but I’ve been picking them up again lately. There are so many benefits to this practice. As a dancer/choreographer, I’m pretty in tune with my body. But my poi practice made me realize the extent of the imbalance between my right and left sides, and it’s making me a better dancer by building up my strength and coordination.I’ve also developed a new appreciation for my body and what it’s capable of— I’m learning to trust it, without overthinking, and I’m in awe at how quickly the seemingly impossible moves become possible!

Grateful to Jinju Dasalla for introducing me to this beautiful, meditative art form, and for being an inspiration to me.”

“One word . . . . Nurtured.  I felt so nurtured by Jinju, Nova, and the group to express my true self, to move, to grow, and to play.  I especially liked how Jinju touched on multiple dimensions of life throughout the workshop (flow, yoga, neurophysiology, journaling, circling) and how she shared her personal experiences with the group.  I feel more connected to my mind, my body, my soul, and my playful/feminine side from this workshop and highly recommend it for others on their journey of self discovery and actualization.”

“Jinju’s love of the flow arts, her welcoming spirit, and her deep insight into their healing abilities have inspired me to learn and become more involved with this art form. Even with my beginner skills, I feel drawn to developing and practicing them daily. More than yoga and other types of dance, flowing is already becoming a grounding, soulful, confidence building ritual for me. I want to rediscover myself — as the gentle, joyful and even powerful woman I was meant to be.”

“I feel so empowered in my own personal journey to be learning, growing, and connecting with such beautiful goddesses each week. It truly is a nourishing container to plant our seeds of intentions, water them together, and watch them grow and manifest! ”

“I knew that participating in Jinju Dasalla’s workshop, Soul Flow Poi & Beauty that Transforms, was going to be a special day, well spent with a soulful group of people. What I did not know is how deeply I would connect with elements that she shared and how much raw beauty Jinju evoked from all of us who attended the workshop. Jinju put us all at ease by sharing her personal story of transformation and shift through flow and poi in particular and she set the stage for us all to bring to consciousness our own stories of change past, present and future. Without getting too heady, she revealed the incredibly positive physiological and psychological aspects of moving in flow. We then spent time with the poi, our new dance partners. We were able to embody and feel, first hand, the power of the dancing within the flow arts. We all were able to clearly see and feel that this type of movement mediation would be helpful to us on our personal journey of shift and change. This workshop was indeed a incredible day of sharing with other beautiful, conscious souls in a way that allowed each of us to open ourselves up to limitless possibilities and to great hope. I eagerly look forward to learning more from Jinju and participating in more workshops to further explore the power of the neuro-therapeutic nature of poi and the flow arts.”

“It’s been the highlight so far at Wanderlust 2017 - Jinju Dasalla’s class! What an amazing human being, feeling so fortunate. Thank you!”

“You and Nova have been a huge source of inspiration to me.  There have been times when I lacked motivation to keep moving forward and wanted to give up, I would think of your beautiful stories, the miracles and magic . . . . and I could find the strength to overcome whatever obstacles were placed in my way to reach for my life purpose.”

“This week I complete the Beauty That Tranforms (tele)course with Dr Jinju Dasalla with Soul Flow Arts.

This six-week course was all things body, mind and spirit; Tapping into ancient knowledge (so cool to learn about the Koshas), intuitive wisdom through journaling, assignments and guided meditations as well as modern science and medical research (epigenetics, heartmath, etc!) I am learning some incredible information to transform myself and share with others.

Though we wrap up our virtual six weeks together, I have assignments and articles and videos to consume for many weeks to follow. This transformational journey will go on (until I am pure light!) I’m grateful for the bountiful knowledge presented, the beautiful flow instruction videos and mostly Jinjus absolute presence and passion for sharing and inspiring a journey within.

Beauty That Transforms; you embody this Jinju Dasalla and I could never thank you enough for all the inspiration. So much love to you and Nova!”

“I’ve realized that I’ve never let myself be nurtured, and that I have huge resistance to asking for help and fully receiving support. The disconnection from my body is a manifestation of a deeper disconnection with the healing, nurturing energy of the mother and of the feminine, not just physical but everywhere it shows up.

The workshop was my first step in a new exploration of my body, of movement, of how feminine energy and flow shows up in and around me, and how and where I can open up to receive some nurturing support.

I want to MOVE, to DANCE, to FLOW and to spin, hoop, jump, crouch, dive as I activate and stimulate my body in a completely new way. This is one of the most vulnerable, scary, shaky territories I’ve ever explored, and it’s incredibly exhilarating!”

“I didn’t know what to expect by taking on a life coach, but Dr Jinju arrived in my life at exactly the moment I needed her. Luckily, my mind was open enough to let her in it because a little piece of her will forever reside there, cheering me on. I can’t express how deep and genuine our connection is. She helped guide me through a really positive period of growth and also a rocky period of reflection and helped me redesign my interior world to better suit my life’s purpose by inviting me to face my subconscious drives. I’ve been waking up happier and I’m well on my way towards living my life’s purpose out loud. Thank you Jinju, from the bottom of my soul!”

“The interest to experiment with poi had been building within in me for a little over a year.  For me, it is perfectly clear as to why the urge was not pushing me to begin just yet.  Soul was waiting for the perfect moment and that moment came at Jinju’s Soul Flow Arts Poi and hoop workshop on Oahu.  Being very knew to the Island I was earnest to branch out and create connections with like minded light beings.  I participated in a hoop and poi workshop with Jinju and was inspired to go deep with the art of poi.  At last, I met with my first pair of poi.  Jinju’s Flow Arts Series brought great magic into my life, magic that cannot be denied.  Dancing with the poi became an extension of my prayer field.  In my life the poi act as paintbrushes, as they allow me to paint my prayers.  The soul flow arts has provided the opportunity to connect with beautiful beings of light and I feel truly blessed and enlightened.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“You created such a beautiful container yesterday for the Awaken Your Inner Fire workshop! 14 women (Art and Temperance) were transformed by touching their own authentic expression through the use of breath and movement, poi and hoop. Thank you for YOUR beauty that transforms. I Love You Sister!”

“Wow Jinju, this is beyond amazing.  You’ve pulled this all together so beautifully.  Thank you for seeing the Divine in everyone and especially in me.  Before the first poi workshop with you at Studio Soma, I wasn’t so sure I even existed.  In a passing  exchange with you, during that workshop, I saw some recognition in your eyes.  I had to look twice but finally followed your gaze to find a sliver of light still shining in me.  These poi sessions with you have helped me to fan that flame and Tuesday night under the full moon that fire will shine ever so bright.

Thank you and Namaste”

“I moved to Colorado with the idea of entering medical school in order to pursue medical research. I had a sharp brain and a bodyworker’s hands and I wanted to know, where was the point that spirit actually coalesced into matter? What part of the cell, of our fluids brought the intangible into physical reality? Two weeks into school and I knew trading in the next decade of my life for sitting in class was not the path for me. Life was too rich to spend it in such a way. I needed more than words, more than rote information. I withdrew from school and the question fell to the back burner of my mind.

Six months later, I found myself at the close of a flow arts workshop with Jinju. After hours of practice, I had finally felt the beginnings of “the flow” in her workshop. I could feel something else begin to take over me as I twirled the poi and circled with my hoop. I wasn’t thinking about it, I was just dancing with that feeling flowing from deep in my core. It was after that I suddenly realized, here it is, here’s my answer! Calling forth and expressing this flow from within IS spirit made into matter, the invisible seamlessly weaved into our physical world as we dance with that inspiration and movement welling up from inside. The universe was answering me on my own terms, not through knowledge and information but through experience...visceral, bodily, moving experience...experience that bypasses the thinking mind and brain and surfaces in the heart. This is where all true learning and change happens. Where spirit not only becomes matter, but transforms it. I was living out and becoming the answer to my own question.”

“The Beauty that Transforms workshop was exactly what I needed. I went into the workshop without any expectation and was completely blow away. I wasn’t prepared to be so emotionally moved by the experience and that is exactly what happened. I’ve been on an intense journey of self-discovery in recent months and this workshop was such a fun way to learn more about myself and and the link between my brain and body. Jinju is a powerful role model and I know that this workshop will have a lasting effect on me and my journey.”
