Verity Maud

Verity Maud is a dynamic facilitator with over a decade of experience in using movement to spark transformation and connection. Her journey spans the globe as a dancer, creator, and passionate seeker of joy through conscious dance. Known for her boundless energy and deep love for music, she has the unique ability to weave magical dance journeys that elevate participants into altered states of bliss and heart-opening connection.

An intrepid traveler and lover of festivals, Verity’s expertise shines as she seamlessly blends music, movement, and interaction to create deeply transformative experiences. Whether facilitating at retreats or energizing festival dancefloors, she brings people together in ways that inspire joyful, uninhibited movement, going beyond the usual dance patterns to foster genuine connection. Her interactive style primes groups to engage with one another, breaking barriers, and deepening the collective experience—something she believes is essential in today’s disconnected world.

As a director of the Johannesburg Central School of Biodanza, she shares the incredible heart-centered tools of this conscious dance modality. Her offerings extend to personal development and creativity, women’s and sacred sensuality retreats in Mozambique, Bali, Cape Town, and Johannesburg, with her work also reaching far-flung corners such as Thailand, Norway, Brazil, Portugal, and Italy.

At Spiritfest this year, she will be offering a facilitated journey designed to bring us into deep embodied connection with our relationship to self, to one another, to ignite creative expression and bring a heart opening liberation of movement. She will be incorporating some Biodanza inspired practices into an ecstatic dance experience.
