Special 2 day immersion into Contact Beyond Contact Contact Beyond Contact (CBC) is a dance and healing practice that integrates Authentic Movement (AM), Contact Improvisation (CI) and Passing Through (PT) with profound practices of qigong, yoga, healing modalities and energy work, mindfulness and leadership skills, somatics, and principles of behaviorism, as well as the philosophies of Buddhism and Taoism.

This practice will allow you to genuinely connect with yourself & others. The skills and tools are all inclusive and take each individual into account, making the practice available for all bodies and people of varying professional, cultural and religious backgrounds. WHAT TO EXPECT: Guided Contact Beyond Contact Dance Class – Access to your body's deeper wisdom - Authentic Expression - Nervous System Regulation - Feeling home in your body - Opening to creativity - Connection - Community - Sharing. This 2 days journey is a unique one time invitation to dive deeper into practice of Contact Beyond Contact in the safe container of max. 14 people. We will explore authentic expression and connection to self, others and environment through movement. I will share and guide you through different movement languages allowing us to improvise solo and with others. We come together with curiosity to feel into how we are and bring these emotions into motion. We explore our capacity to trust and surrender into what is present, and allowing ourselves not trying to change anything. We explore flow and ease in movement, to be flexible and adaptable in life and our creative capacity. Contact improvisation and authentic movement are amazing tools to be in the present moment. They allow us to let go of expectations that hold us back from feeling and expressing ourselves fully. Being witnessed and held in that can be a very powerful transformative experience. Letting your body speak and be witnessed in that can be very liberating and blissful experience and the level of connection in the end of the class is hard to describe with words. The body knows before the mind does. Join us and experience it for yourself. There is no dance experience needed.

What started with a purely asana-based yoga practice, has evolved into more awareness in daily life and curiosity how body and mind influence each other. This is where she started to explore dance from a different perspective. Letting go of what it should look like and focusing on how it feels. Slowly dance became her meditation and she went on the journey to dive deeper into conscious movemennt practices and studied with world class embodiment teachers like Mollie Mendoza, Satu Tuomela, Van Legakis, Itay Yatuv, Ulli Wittemann and others. Her recent travel to India allowed her to deepen her spiritual practice of yoga and ayurveda. In the workshop, she will be using principles from her Contact Beyond Contact Training, Contact Improvisation, Body Mind Centering, Yoga and Somatics.
