Benjamin Vandewalle

I’m a contemporary dancer, choreographer, and relational practice facilitator based in Brussels. Rooted in meditation and trained in Transformational Connection, I weave movement and circling into spaces that deepen embodied awareness, honest dialogue, and authentic connection.

I am a contemporary dancer, choreographer, and relational practice facilitator. For many years, my work has revolved around embodied experience and shifts in perception — exploring how presence can transform the way we relate to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.

Alongside my artistic career, I have been a long-time meditation practitioner, drawn to inner inquiry and lived awareness. Over the past years, I have deepened my training in Transformational Connection and other relational practices, integrating these into both my artistic processes and dedicated relational spaces. In my Brussels studio, I host circles and workshops where movement and dialogue meet — spaces that invite honesty, attunement, and shared exploration.

I am particularly interested in the meeting point between movement and circling: how embodied awareness can deepen relational contact, and how relational depth can bring the body more fully alive. For me, facilitation is not about leading people somewhere predefined, but about holding a clear, grounded container in which authentic encounter can emerge.

At the heart of my work lies a simple question: what becomes possible when we fully inhabit ourselves in relationship?

Nice things People say about me

“Ben and Pieter brought their love for nature and connection into a beautiful weekend experience that felt like going back to the roots. The connection to the earth, the water, the trees, the fire and each other was facilitated through ritual, practice and presence. Was also happy to see some familiar faces from the online space.”
Irina Turcu

“A precious and memorable experience. Ben and Pieter carry such beautiful energy. Their genuine care and tenderness created a safe space for us to explore our true selves in relation to others and to nature. They are truly beautiful human beings whom I appreciate, and their gatherings have supported my growth in meaningful ways.

The warm, loving atmosphere lingered with me long after the experience ended. I miss the mesmerizing birdsongs at 5 a.m., the warmth of the campfire beneath the tipi in the rain, and the vibration of our singing hanging in the air.”
Wenwei

“The workshop gave me a unique opportunity to deeply connect with people I didn’t know, sharing what was truly alive for us in the moment. It also brought me a chance to take the time and listen to what is within me in response to the stories and feelings of others as well as just my own inner voice.

Ben and Pieter bring a unique energy to the space. From the start, there is a sense of safety and no judgment, combined with a deep sensitivity to what is happening in the group. At the same time, they keep the process focused and grounded.

Circling feels like a rare pause in busy life; a chance to truly focus on the humans around us and on ourselves. For me, it was a transformative experience.”
