arrive & unfold
- open level -
In this workshop we will come to ourselves in order to unfold. We will become silent in order to
We become still in order to move. We sink into ourselves in order to
We start with the basic concept of arrival: arriving in this place, in this moment, in your body, in everything that is present for you. We create an awareness of what is. We dive deep, letting things go, until we reach a point where the connection is made.
From there we start moving, we start exploring. We start from scratch.
We start with what is and let this influence our movements, our being, our body,
influence our creativity. From this moment of arrival, we begin to
move and improvise.
This workshop combines meditation practice with movement practice and improvisation. If you are interested in movement from silence and if you do not see arrival and movement as contradictory, then you have come to the right place.

Back to your senses
This workshop offers you a space to train your body awareness and to lead yourself back to your senses. Mindful movement and being moved, pausing and feeling, and relaxing in touch alternate.
We deal with elements from bodywork, the concept of nourishing and healthy body, authentic movement and physical and mental relaxation. Everything is based on a focus on slowness, silence, becoming aware and feeling with the senses.
If you have a need to rediscover your slowness, a desire to relax your nervous system on a deep level and want to touch and be touched mindfully, then I warmly invite you to this workshop.
