The Practice
A scholar-artist
at the edge of spirit.
DeVante Love is a spiritually gifted Afro-Indigenous monk, dance scholar-artist, and social justice educator whose work explores emotion, ancestry, and healing through veneration of nature.
As a scholar, DeVante has earned a master’s in Clinical Psychology and will soon earn a PhD in Performance Studies, researching at the intersection of dance, healing, popular culture, and spiritual activism.
As an artist, they create healing performances that feature martial arts, queer dance, poetry, ritual, and depth psychology, colored by their West African and Native American ancestry and their spiritual lineages in Buddhism, Daoism, and Shamanism.
This evidence-based spiritual embodied practice lives in their spiritual dance company, The Inner Peace Dojo, and their forthcoming book, Netflix and Heal: A Monk’s Guide to Inner Peace through Movies. They have taught and performed in the US, East Asia, and Egypt, and on Amazon Prime, TEDx, and Out Magazine.
Healing through emotion, ancestry, and the veneration of nature, so every body can feel spirit and peace.
Talks that move
the heart and mind.
DeVante brings keynotes on emotional intelligence, spirituality, and popular culture to conferences, universities, and organizations, blending research with live embodied practice.
Audiences leave with language for their emotions, tools for inner peace, and a fresh lens on the movies, music, and media that shape how we heal.
