AN EMBODIED TREASURE HUNT
to find your unique pockets of resource, exactly as you are (and as life is) in this moment.
DO YOU KNOW THESE PLACES?
Do you have ideas about what it is you need to feel more resourced, but they all require more time or money than is available, so you postpone the whole thing? Do things that you think will be nourishing sometimes actually not feel that great? Do you (subconsciously) associate increasing your well-being with even more work/ effort than life already requires of you?
TRY SOFTER/ MORE PLAYFUL
This 1-day workshop is designed to offer a space where we can turn (back) towards our moving bodies as the compass that points to micro-doses of nourishment we can find in our daily lives. A space where you are invited to try softer and more playful, rather than trying harder. A space where, with the help of Movement Medicine tools and the archetype of the Dancing Fool, we can open up to the possibility of finding resources in surprising places, including the opposite of what we might have thought.
WHAT TO EXPECT
With guidance in English (and/or German and Russian if needed) and with the support of music, you will be invited to play with different ways of moving, moving with visualisations, both independently and in connection with others.
Open to all (you do NOT need to think of yourself as "a dancer"). Previous experience is not required, but commitment to self-care and responsibility are a must. Embodied explorations may bring up intense emotions. Please be aware that this is not an equivalent or substitute for therapy.
POSSIBLE INDICATORS THAT THIS IS FOR YOU:
* You enjoy moving your body (even if you don't always do it) and feel inspired/ supported by music
* You feel a sense of relief and curiosity at the prospect of not taking things (including yourself) too seriously.
* You like to be in smaller and more intimate spaces rather than/ as well as on big dancefloors with lots of people
THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU IF:
* You prefer to go on your own embodied explorations without verbal guidance
* You are looking for a place of meditation without movement
