Kalakeli Movement Arts was born from a shared vision to create a place where movement, creativity and meaningful connection could flourish.

After many years working as a professional dancer, choreographer and educator around the world, Navala arrived in Goa searching for a place to put down roots. She dreamed of creating a space that brought together the many disciplines and teachers that had inspired her own journey. It was here that Navala met Micka, and together they began building a life rooted in movement, play and a shared purpose. They recognised that people could benefit from this type of training and gathering; whether to soften and open up, or to cultivate strength and courage where they were needed most and ultimately discover the fullest expression of themselves. From this shared vision, Kalakeli emerged: a place for Art and Play.

As Kalakeli continued to evolve, the vision expanded beyond a residency and into the creation of its permanent home, Itaíba. Nestled deep within the lush jungle of Arambol, Goa, Itaíba has been thoughtfully developed as a sanctuary for movement, artistic exploration and conscious living. Here, movement becomes woven into everyday life where practice unfolds in nature, ideas are exchanged freely, and people from around the world come together to learn, create and grow.

Navala and Micka’s mission is to bring people together.

“Movement is the reason we gather, connection is the purpose.”

Together, they envision a world where differences are embraced as gifts, where each person uncovers their truth, and where compassion extends to all that breathes.
