Five ways to feel Raha
From the dance floor to the runway to the jewelry box, every Raha experience carries the same root.
Who we are
Healing through movement, belonging through community, impact through craft.
Raha unites Afro dance fitness, unforgettable events, and fair-trade jewelry under one Basel-born philosophy: healing through movement, belonging through community, and impact through craft.
In Swahili, “raha” means comfort, ease, and joy. It’s the word our founder Lilian chose to describe a life she rebuilt for herself and now invites you into. Every class, every event, every handmade piece carries the same intention: to help you feel more at home in your body, your community, and your culture.

Stories from the moments we’ve shared together
Lilian coached me for half a year to help and connect me with my inner self. I learned to make my decisions actively and to focus on where and with whom I like to meet and recognize who I want to be with. Lilian's coaching is highly recommended, especially for those feeling trapped in uncomfortable situations, in work or relationships.
Thank you Lilian so much, you have no idea how my life has changed. Thank you for guiding me to the best yet version of myself. I am forever thankful and grateful that you have crossed my path. You are an incredible transformation/teacher coach. Your guidance, experience, knowledge and insights are phenomenal.
I am so thankful to have Lilian in my life. She is amazing, and the way she coaches is so powerful. I am actually proud of myself that I have not been too proud to ask for help and that we found us. I really appreciate you and am looking forward to our coaching sessions. Also, I like how open we can share all thoughts and feelings.
Dear Lilian, You are really an asset to my life. You have shared really valuable information with me, which I needed at the exact moment. That is how it works when we just let GOD do it; everything just comes to us. And you are often the bearer of a message that is important to me. In these moments I see everything crystal clear. I am really thankful to you.
Liebe Lilian, Danke für den tollen Manifestations-Workshop, dieser war sehr intensiv und überwältigend - wow. Ich bin immer wieder beeindruckt über die Kraft der eigenen Gedanken. Die Art und Weise, wie du einzelne Themen in deinen Workshops behandelst, begleitest und führst, begeistert mich jedes Mal aufs Neue. Besonders mag ich den Mix zwischen Meditation und Austausch. Ich freue mich auf die nächsten Workshops mit dir.
I was at the Manifestation last Friday. With a very good, small team, the 3 hours spent there were just fantastic. Huge energies were released. Conversation, meditation, good mood, honesty. Lilian is a professional. I love her energy. I am grateful, and thank you very much!
