THE BODY UNTAMED - a laboratory for embodied freedom. Lack of vitality and low energy in our lives often come from a disconnection from our most authentic expression. When we lose connection with our inner spark, we end up feeling depleted and frustrated. This workshop aims to plug you back into the source of your creativity and natural radiance. In order to do that we need to let go of our conditioned ways of moving, expectations, layers of shame, ideas of appropriate and acceptable, limitations that we have imposed to ourselves. We will give our inner judge a well deserved vacation and enter together a space of radical permission to be. We will challenge ideas of beautiful and ugly and we will tap into a new level of freedom in our bodies. We will allow ourselves to drop the masks, to be seen vulnerably and to connect from that space of tender beauty. We will collectively weave a container of radical permission, we will peel the layers of the personality and tap into our undomesticated essence, the home of our true potential of expression. Through breath, sound and movement we will activate our inner well of energy and ride this powerful wave together as a collective. In this space we will welcome all of ourselves, we will allow all our parts to emerge and be seen. We will bring with us a new sense of embodied freedom and vitality that we can carry in all aspects of our lives.
We love to create a sacred cacao ritual with you in which we co-create a safe space for opening our hearts, voices and who we truly are. Gathering in ceremony we remember our own nature in essence and through music and dance we bring - us - into creation . We will reunite in a circle and together we flow into a state of authentic expression. Let’s get in touch with our emotions that arise from deep within and transform them into pure self-expression. Looking forward to meet you on the dancefloor, Linda & Valentin

Conscious Motion - A Contemporary Dance Exploration. This workshop presents a contemporary dance setting integrated with elements from somatic practices, while exploring movement and highlighting the importance of breath, touch, and playfulness. The class focuses on the development of bodily awareness and the cultivation of a state of presence. We will move slowly and consciously at first, in order to heighten the listening quality of each sensation within the body, to then bring the energy up and move it through and beyond space. We start from the conscious and attentive training of the body, oiling the joints and increasing their range of motion, to then open the space up to the creative unfolding with explorations and scores focused on active listening, and collective resonance. This workshop offers an intuitive space where we go through a combination of improvisation, games, and set material in order to challenge: the physical body in terms of coordination, strength, and elasticity of the movement; the emotional and mental bodies in their fluctuations as an ongoing inquiry of our inner states.
Progressive practice of Yogasana oriented towards listening. Deepening the perception of breathing. Use of posture in order to improve the perception of sensations given by active and passive respiratory movement. Introduction to Prānāyāma.
