Contact Beyond Contact - special 1 day immersion

Connect to yourself & others through guided embodied movement practice. Move beyond the words and the mind. That is where the magic happens! "The way you dance with others is the way you live your life" "How is it to move with others?" Join us for a special Contact Beyond Contact Immersion. This practice is a unique invitation to connect with ourselves and others through guided embodied dance in the safe container of max. 14 participants. Dancing with others is a beautiful analogy to life. We can dance on our own, but how is it to move when others are there? Does anything change? Just like we are not alone in the world, and we co-exist with everyone and everything around us, dancing with others can teach us a lot about ourselves. We see our patterns more clearly as the others reflect back our behaviour. We have a whole n ew world of possibilities and depth we can explore with the other without words. We experience joy of movement multiplied by moving together. This is a unique movemnet journey which can open you up to the joy of dancing and connection as well as open you up to the new ways of seeing yourself, your patterns and self-limitations. It can shine light on how you relate to others. It shows where you can soften , where you can step into the leadership , where you can let go of the outcome and where you are free to express and connect with your inner playful and creative nature. It guides you into the present moment and beyond what you thought was possible. It is intimate and safe space where personal boundaries are honored. I will guide you into your body and your unique movement expression and from this space, connecting with others will feel authentic and safe. In Contact Beyond Contact, we practice being in the present moment, listening to the bodily signals, honoring your boundaries and boundaries of others, embracing the unknown, finding resilience in ever changing environment, learning to give and receive support, developing our creativity, and learning to feel and move the emotions in the body. CBC allows us to let go of expectations that hold us back from feeling and expressing ourselves fully. Letting our body speak and be witnessed in that can be a transformative experience. Also, please prepare for the level of connection which is hard to describe with words . CBC is dangerously liberating and blissful. Join us and experience it for yourself. There is no dance experience needed.
